If we estimate a mid November release then we could get a teaser as early as next week for the expansion pack? Is it not usually around a month before the release?

So potentially looking at a expansion pack with hotels, maybe romance. Otherwise maybe some sort of real estate fixer up pack but after Dream Home Decorator, I doubt that. I also wondered if Hotels and DHD weren't originally meant to be in their own Real Estate expansion pack and they separated Hotels out to put with something like Romance instead and made DHD into a game pack?

I have been pretty sure Romance was coming since the first Likes/Dislikes came out as it seemed like a good base for the attraction system. But I also assumed it would probably be a Summer pack, I am hoping its next and everyone gets all the game play they want.

Hmm as the last expansion was in July instead of June the next one might not be until the end of November/start of December unfortunately

That would make sense, if not for the fact that for the US market, they are basically always going to release the holiday EP before Thanksgiving, to capitalize on Black Friday shopping. (Not that the EP will be marked down, but it's well known that shoppers looking for big sales also go ahead and do a lot of their holiday shopping that weekend, even on non-sale items.) Another way to look at it is that the dev team is not going to want to spend their Thanksgiving holiday doing last minute bug testing.

Given that, my guess is that the absolute latest they would release it would be around 11/20 or so, but it's more likely to be mid-month. Actually, considering that the 18th is a Thursday, and the week before Thanksgiving, I'd guess the 18th or 19th. Possibly even the week before, so they don't have to rush out hot fixes over the holiday.
