No more game packs?

You mean the one thing simmers pretty much unanimously agreed were great quality compared to half baked expansion packs? I'm so sick of this.

??? I just reread all the tweets and I didn't see her say we're no longer getting gamepacks. Why are people so quick to jump to conclusions?

The way this is worded implies there are no gamepacks being developed at this time, or for the immediate future. Sure they could make some, but it just seems like expansion packs for now. The stuff pack team was practically disbanded, and Ninja doesn't appear to work on gamepacks anymore either.

I think the only thing we can say for sure is that the next release will be another EP, so it's unlikely we'll get anything before April, at least. My only complaint would be that if an EP doesn't interest me, that's a long time without new content of any kind. I had absolutely no interest in GF, and although Seasons did add a lot to my game play, I'm getting rather eager for something new. I'm going to be terribly disappointed if we get another EP that focuses on YAs and adds nothing for family players.

One of the gurus said that a university pack wasn't on the table for near future. Witches seems to be the other popular choice, but an EP would have to be more. I hope it would not be a general supernatural-themed pack. (I don't think of witches as 'supernatural', since they do exist. As long as they include some gameplay for kids and toddlers, I'm all for witches. I do not want werewolves or other supernaturals, especially since they probably wouldn't have toggles.)

My guess, however, is that the next EP will have a futuristic theme, just because that's one that seems to repeat in every Sims game. (Ugh.)
