The Sims 4: Magic Life

I think it's best to have optimism, but honestly I don't think it's on EA's agenda for a while. I think there is some rumour about a farm pack though so i'm keeping my hopes up *fingers crossed* :smile:

This all being said, I am absolutely confident that there WILL be a magic pack sometime down the road, especially since Grant and the other Devs now know, if they didn't before, that a lot of people really want to see Witches in the game.

While I hope it comes sooner than later, I doubt it.

@CeCeDot Explain to me how polls mean nothing.
Grant tweeted that the poll results will help them decide in what order they are goiung to do the occults.
to me, this SCREAMS that neither of the 8 occults in the polls are in the making.
Packs are not done in a month. From the community voting thing that resulted in Laundry day we know that it takes an entire year from the decision what the theme and look the pack should be to its release.
Even if they started evelopment right after they knew the results it would still be september 2019 at the earliest when we get our hands on that pack.

What I said in regards to your comment. The poll doesn't say anything about what is currently being developed. It's true that grant is going to use this information regarding which supernatural/occult is currently most wanted, but that doesn't mean there couldn't have been a startup. The timing of this poll seems suspicious as well. Maybe they have already decided to do another occult in a gamepack, but wanted to know if whatever they are developing is really wanted?

This was probably the start of the polls:

It took less than a whole year to let the community vote for a stuff pack, correct. But they had to produce many different themes for different vote option, which probably doubled the work that usually goes into it. My guess, stuff packs take at least 3/4 of a year.

In the end it's just my speculation, you don't have to believe it. But to me anything is possible

Even if that were all true, Game Packs take more effort and half the Dev Team has been fired just a while ago.
In order for a witches pack to come out this year, it would have to have been in developement since third quarter 2017 or longer.
And if that were the case, why do a poll in the first place? What if their assumption was prooven false by this poll? How would they present Mermaids Gamepack after Witches won? How would they present Werwolf Gameplack after Werewolves made the second to last place?
That is a Risk they would have had to take. Unless the polls are rigged and therefore fake.
(Not an accusation. Just Speculation)

I can definitely see your points, it's just that I think differently about it.
Yes guru's / devs have been fired, but how many were hired? It's something we don't know, because be don't work there. (let's refrain from discussing this topic, because it might result in the closing of this thread)

I'm just really hoping if they do it, they do it as realistic as possible.

I have never seen any evidence that they hired anyone except Kate, but you're right. I don't know at all.
Let's agree to disagree as you suggested.
A poll to tease for a witches GP, with some EA employees hired to create and later delete fake twitter accounts to vote for the pack they are working on in order to boost witches if needed would actually make sense marketing wise. But if it became public that the poll was fake, no one would trust the Gurus ever again.
Again. Not accuseing of anything. Just speculateing.
I could still be wrong. I would love to be wrong on this one. However, if I am wrong, I'd like to be proven wrong.

Yes, I think there will be an expansion pack, but only with witches. :neutral: It seems we have to buy every supernatural creature separately...

Why does everyone think Witches are coming this year? I want them more than anything else in the Sims, but I am seeing more evidence that they are not coming for at least another year than that it will be in september. I speculated them to come in september before, sure. But I consider myself proven wrong about this.
