Seasons is really a family pack when you think of it. It usually comes with activities like making snowmen/snow angels together,build snowmen together and other stuff like snowball fights,water fights,skating etc so that stuff would fit with Seasons if they don't do a Generations Pack. A Seasons Expansion would have room enough for that stuff plus the regular seasons activities and interactions.

I think of seasons like a family pack too. I much prefer activities that all Sims can participate in regardless of their age together. I feel like emotions come off as predictable and boring with single only activities. I much rather have activities for the whole family to do together whether they have children or pets or both. It gets boring fast playing hermit households. The game is called the Sims not the Sim so packs should reflect that. I think any pack in which multiple Sims can do activities together in is much needed for the Sims 4. So I welcome packs that make the Sims feel like the Sims and life simulator game and less like the Kim Kardashian: Hollywood role playing game that is full of stereotypes. Anyways I don't think seasons will come with the next teaser. I think it will be a GP and SP next. I'm hoping for a farm pack in which Sims can do activities together in and that brings some more heart into the game again. I would be happy to see a school GP too that focuses beyond just YA life stage as well. Parenthood did feel like a generations pack, so I was pretty happy with that pack since it offered activities for all the ages in it and brought a whole new depth to the game.

First week of Januar :# :#

Why do people think that Parenthood generalize everything about family and generation? No the Parenthood Pack was just that Parenting. A Generation means everyone included in family not just certain stages.

But they can still copy The Sims Mobile and release a Fashion GP.

Summer Vacation GP should be planned for the Spring quarter.

Maybe a Vehicle Patch will be release in the 6 next months, who knows.

I'm hoping for a 2017 repeat year and hope the next GP is a vacation pack


Edited to add: last year the quarterly teaser was out around Jan 4. I expect the same again in 2018

It's possible we'll get another game pack. I was kind hoping it centered on family (Generations) since they released Parenthood and Pets.

I don’t think so. They already have parenthood and Cats and Dogs. And some simmers are angry because “too much family play!”
They might release another supernatural GP but it could anyone’s guess.

There is still a lot of family stuff missing but I suppose it could be added to Seasons.

Missing in Action
Play Catch Together

Lots of playground equipment like swings,seesaws and other things.

Interactions like Gift Giving,Pillow Fighting and other stuff missing.

Photobooths and Greeting Card Pictures.

I want all this stuff back

Why do you insist on lumping stuff into a pack that doesn't belong? That would mean getting rid of stuff for the pack to have room for your stuff that doesn't belong.

I don't read CLP's post as wanting all that in the same pack -- it could be scattered throughout multiple packs, or even patches as well. Since we got the ability to play catch with dogs in C&D, maybe there'll be a way to adapt that to play catch together, just for an example. Gift giving could return in Seasons if there's a holiday like Snowflake Day, though I'd prefer to be able to give gifts any time of year, and add in some more crafting options (like the canning and nectar making suggested in the runup to Laundry Day). Photobooths could be added with a beach vacation pack; they're all over the place on the Boardwalk at Santa Cruz. Would be cool to be able to choose a backdrop for the photobooth photos, plus a random choice of failures like a big black spoltch blocking the Sims.

My personal wish list would be an arcade lot designation that would also work as a casino if you have casino items on it (slot machines, table games, etc.). Or maybe the other way around -- if you have arcade type games (foosball, darts, pinball and standup video games, etc.) in your casino, kids and teens would be attracted to play those while the young adults gamble.

Uh - in January. LOL.

But seriously - after the devs get back from their Holiday vacations when ever that is.

My guess though is probably the second week of January.

Seasons is really a family pack when you think of it.

Seasons is NOT a family pack. Yes, there may be interactions that families can do, like a snowball fight, but that is not limited to families and doesn't add to family relationships, and you can have a snowball fight with total strangers who happen to be nearby.

They won't be doing a Generations pack because that was what the Parenting pack was all about. They aren't going to repeat the same pack twice.

That's why I want all that other stuff included in another pack. The Generations Stuff should have been in Parenthood.

They will probably announce a tropical GP, it’s long overdue already. Plus if they are actually hinting stuff , it all points to a tropical GP

I think it is the 4th for some and later for others. Then again that is related to the console side of things. They are on vacation now from talking to some of them. Probably nice of them to take a break thinking about Sims things even though Graham streamed the console version the other night which was fun and silly.

I know - I checked it out for a bit.
