Paranormal Stuff Item Description speculation

Maybe just covering themselves legally. I think they're in a situation where they can only announce stuff so far in advance due to how the weirdness of investing and them being publicly traded works? I feel like that came up at some point. And I'm no lawyer, but I'd guess that if something could be construed as officially hinting, it could also be construed as an announcement and fall under whatever those rules are.

Also maybe a manipulation of the truth more so than a straight up lie. Maybe they put in stuff that they know will be seen as hints by some players, but on paper, it's references to past packs and the like, whatever covers them as hints go. So technically, they aren't hints and yet, they know how to write them in such a way that they will be taken as hints by people who are looking for hints. Could be the kind of thing they're doing. Plausible deniability possibly (though in a very innocuous sense in this case).

I don't know about all the legal stuff I guess. It just seems weird - I bought Assassin's Creed: Valhalla last November, and I knew the day I bought it that there was going to be an Ireland expansion down the line, and a French one. I don't understand why the Sims team can't even give us a slight tease for content that's coming in the next few months, like the next pack in line to be released, so we know what's coming, but eh. I'm not a video game developer. It does feel a bit like they're trying to get people hyped up with hints, but also acting like we're overreacting when we think something's a hint, which is frustrating. But that's the game we play with the Sims, I guess.
