Hiiii everyoneSo Simmer Erin found possible hints to 2 upcoming future expansion packs, in this video she talks about an old Sims 4 DLC survey and the Horse Ranch EP object descriptions mention the words "time", "star", and "dream" several times. Also it seems like it is very likely the possible Time Travel expansion pack may include not just the future but travelling into the past as well, and also dinosaurs are mentioned and hinted at several times in the pack, including in the Cavern Cave minigame feature. Dream Jobs was an old expansion pack idea mentioned in an unofficial Sims 4 survey, I send the Erin video link here now so you can see the Sims 4 Dream Jobs survey idea:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ-3oSkhxKkOh and by the way, it definitely seems like sometimes Maxis tease new DLC more than 1 year in advance, maybe 2 or even 3, I am not completely sure. :)

'Time' might not just be about time travel per se... exploring time and space could just be space travel in general? I would adore updated aliens! Building and living in a spaceship would be pretty cool imo.Also, star does make me think of fame but it could also have space connotations, too.

I noticed that too about discussing time travel. Also, there’s a discussing the universe. I’m really hoping this is a hint for a Sims 4 travelling through space & time. If it is it probably won’t be in the game until at least 2025.????

I found this video from about 8-9 months ago. I think Satch might be on to something here…https://youtu.be/XtR9MjvfOy8

The biggest problem with a concept like time travel, particularly travelling both into the past and future, is that a pack such is that would require a huge budget in order for it to be fleshed out properly... two worlds (past and future), two sets of bb and cas (past and future), etc. And as we all know, EA seems to be keeping the purse strings very tight, limiting the dev team to what they're able to add into a pack. Case in point: the recent Horse Ranch pack and its limited features.As much as I would love something like a time travel pack, I just don't see how a time travel pack could be properly fleshed out with such a low budget allowance. Never mind 'properly fleshed out'.... I just don't see how such a pack could be made at all with how limited the packs seem to be getting these days?

Sims 4 Time Travel and Sims 4 Dream Jobs expansion packs coming in 2024/2025?

They could add current day world and same world in the past. Sort of like Henford on Bagley today, but with a version in the past in which modern stuff does not exist. If we go back to medieval time there is no unusable phone booth in front of the bar and you need to use only off the grid stuff, or if it's not that far in time, there is a phonebooth and it's functional. Kind of like a decades challenge, and certain objects could be available and functional depending on time period you are in. Because of the many time periods possible, I think it's best they make them as travel packs, and don't limit the feature to just one pack. They could make time travel a basegame feature, and then add various time travel options to all other game elements.

I would love a time travel pack, but please put in toggle to keep the sims from the other worlds out of my past/future games so I can have full immersion. I want to play other time eras such as 1800s, but get frustrated with all the sims that show up in modern outfits. I would love a way to be able to play choosing which worlds (and sims) I want to include in my game.

I'm skeptical about Time Travel since the Kit community vote.

Maxis wouldn't ask us to choose between Medieval and Future themes (25 items) if an EP was already under development (300 items).

I look at this the opposite way: maybe they offered a choice between kits because they already know they are making *both* EPs, and will have items cut from development from each. Maybe not, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see the Medieval kit first, and then the Future kit down the road, along with the corresponding EPs.

Oooh, really hoping a futuristic-themed pack will include something for aliens? Hopefully more occults are still coming, not just fairies, but I wish customizable Plumbots could come back and new alien occults? Or maybe this would be part of the possible Dream Jobs EP and we could get a new Astronaut active career option or space colony on an alien planet world! Omg <3
