Speculation. What New Kits Will Contain.
I've been thinking about kits. I'm going to guess and speculate Maxis can do and probably will do at least three new kits about fame.
Instead of these features in the Get Famous EP, can you believe that is really an EP? to add to the actor/actress career, we'll probably see a kit about Singers. One for Comedians, and one for acrobats and maybe another about famous magicians. Doesn't that sound great?
Over a couple of years they could do four more kits just to complete the Get Famous pack. Wait, things are different now so we have famous 'influencers' which might be about anything but still yet, famous for whatever it is, so they can also add another for SimTube fame where the career is about getting followers and influencing, it won't matter that that is already in game, as long as Maxis can make a buck on a new kit about it. Right? Just like the many pieces of fashion and photography are broken up into many pieces when they could have all been in one career rather than under the guise of 'new'.
Some think horses and or even cows wouldn't be put into a kit but why not? Maxis and EA likes a buck for less. Think about it. Horses are possible in a kit. After you get a farming GP or EP then buy a kit about the horse on the farm or kept in the city in a stall. You could interact with it as much as you can a dust bunny. You can feed it, water it, and maybe walk it, animations to ride might be too expensive for a kit so you care for it and brush it etc. but still a kit about horses! ;)
As a matter of fact Maxis could do multiply kits about farm animals like chickens, like the TS3 store object, chicken coop, where there are a few interactions and that's it. I can see how profitable this can be for Maxis at $5 for a chicken coop, where your Sims walks up to it, throws some feed then gets some eggs. Exciting game play there. People will buy that up like ice cream.
So, let's see there will be ten farms kits about different object animals, much like the baby crib in TS4 which the interaction is on the object and not the animals per se.
That should cover the need for a farming EP. And make Maxis a slew of money.
There will be at least four or five more kits about 'fame' which would include singers, acrobats, stage magicians, and Simtubers and stand up comedians.
That's at least a couple of years of work for about fifteen or more kits. That's the road map for kits if they decide to milk it out. :D
ETA: I forgot to mention instead of a Decades pack they could just do each decade of styles in a kit. As a matter of fact they could do one for furniture of the decade and a separate for clothes and styles. 1970's (2) 1980''s (2) etc. That's a least five more years of work so yes, TS4 can go on forever.
