"Summer line-up" means...

True, we did get SE late last fall. But that's no guarantee that the pack line-up this year will be the same as last year's line-up. In fact it's almost a guarantee that this year's pack line-up won't be the same as last year's line-up. Now that Maxis's releasing Kit Packs too. And we didn't get any Kit Packs last year. Maxis didn't start releasing those Kit Packs until about March of this year

I agree. But this is the speculation forum. ?

True, it is the speculation forum. But this is no longer speculative anymore now that the cat's out of the bag.
The line-up is as follows:
Courtyard Oasis Kit Pack.
Game Pack: Name NA because name was not given at this time.
Block Party, what ever that is suppose to be.
Sims Event of the Summer, what ever that is too.
Three Base game Updates.
And an EP that allows sims to bond with nature.

Well after watching the May18 livestream, it we were supposed to get an actual Line up, I think they must have glossed over it...... the only thing it really covered is the new kit, and a outfit coming.

Wasn't the line up the flyer advertisement thing that they showed us yesterday? That said we were getting a Kit, GP, and EP in May, June, and July. Wouldn't that be considered a line-up?

I knew they wouldn't drop dates of the release or talk about the new upcoming packs.

They really are not allowed to discuss any future contents that's beyond something that has already been officially announced. Now if they were to officially announce the release of the next GP, EP or this Block Party thing, or Sims Event of the Summer thing. Then they can talk about that. Now they can talk a little bit about the next game patch since they already officially leaked a little bit about what in it. Now I know that it bites, but that's EA for yeah. And they've always tried to keep a tight lip on their future plans for games and their future contents.

I understand that its EA's corporate policy, but to my knowledge they don't have another game like the Sims 4 on their books. What other game is releasing new content so frequently? It's not like someone else can steal their ideas, because at present there isn't another game out there like the Sims. This notion of holding back and then hyping stuff is deeply flawed because of CC.

Last day of summer is September 22 so also like last year we'll probably get another EP in the fall.
Snowy Escape released November 13, 2020.

Can't wait for tomorrow!

No, they said it ends in July.

As Michael Duke doesn't work for EA/Maxis anymore and someone completely new is at the top of Maxis it could be all change on the issue of packs in the future. Judging from the Summer flyer it looks like they are giving out a lot of information, more than they have done before anyway.

Even though it is mainly "teasers"

The introduction of kits might be due to a change of thought at the top too from someone new.

I hope it's a resorts-themed pack or something. I am excited for the story progression, they said that it's possible.

We've just been given a hint about the next pack and I think it's a design pack with probably 3 different ways to go. The Sims has just announced it and you can set a reminder for it. 20th May!

First thing that came to my mind was architect and interior design. Sounds cool.
