I am not sure that Pets and Seasons were more cash cows than other EPs. It doesn't seem to have been the case (even if you liked them mostly) because if they were then I don't believe at all that EA would have postponed them that long or until more simmers had lost interest in the game. They would much more likely have been the very first EPs to be released. So when this didn't happen then I am actually not sure if they will be released for TS4 at all.
In so many threads and feeds, people are asking for seasons, they are asking for pets. They are in demand and get flooded into so many topics. They are probably the two most asked about and in demand for EP's. I do not believe they have been, for as you say postponed ... it took two years for us to get toddlers. People said they would never happen .... yet here they are. They and the vampire GP did bring a lot of people back to the Sims4.
If given the rate of EP's I would say we will get seasons or pets next, then some other new/meshed theme, then the other seasons/pets and one more new/meshed theme before the end and the release of Sims5.
I don't believe that they even had planned to release toddlers for TS4. But EA probably just didn't like that the foss about toddlers just continued even two whole years after the release of the basegame. So EA decided to stop this and told the developers to make toddlers anyway.
EA doesn't listen to the forum and as I have written several times EA clearly sees the main group of customers for this game to be young teens who very rarely visit this forum. The game has sold in millions and it sure isn't the very few hundred adult simmers in this forum who have bought that many games. So EA may be right that it is the very young teens who don't visit the forum but get the games anyway that are the most important simmers. We don't know the sales numbers. But if Pets and Seasons weren't the EPs that had highest sales numbers and both the GPs and the SPs has as high sales numbers then EA's attitude is quite understandable.
EA will probably release an EP late in 2017 and another late in 2018. But they are likely to be the two last EPs. If they won't be exactly Pets and Seasons then one of those may not be released for TS4 at all - unless it will be released as a GP instead.
