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

Hiiii everyone
So 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:

Oh 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. :)

    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?


    Maybe they will have one pack for the past, and another pack for the future.

    Time travel definitely makes me think of Into the Future and thus TS4's end.


    Nope Maxis recently replaced their Executive producer with the original one for TS4 so I disagree completely. They mentioned her experience with TS4 so not happening lol. I am not going to live in such disbelief and wishful thinking that this game would end just because Time travel EP may come soon next year lol yea nope. Not happening. <3

    '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.


    When you talk you horses, an option of conversation is "discuss about time travel" so I think it could easily relate to time travel


    I hope if we can go backward in time that we get a medieval time, and we can take our horses and animals with us.
