I want this pack more than anything since it's the most needed content right now. Sadly, it seems unlikely since the team only seems to care about young adults and their gameplay. On ex-guru even said that if they ever do decide to touch family gameplay, they want to separate it into 20 different packs instead of just doing one well-made pack that finally gives content to the ages who have nothing.
Their "informational post" said that these upcoming packs are meant to be "surprising" and "never done before", so Generations is surely not the theme for any of them. It's sad, because in 6 years there's still nothing for family players to do aside from taking their sims to the park :/
Grant has stated before that TS3 Generation didn't generate as much Net revenue as they wanted. Mostly because the direction of the expansion pack was a bit fuzzy which had potential costumers confused about what they were exactly going to get.
And I mean, he's kinda right. The pack's only selling point was that it fleshed out lifestages through various interactions, which could be done in multiple patches instead of one big expansion pack.
It's why the closest thing to generations that we'll get in TS4 is the Parenthood GP. Gurus have said times and times over that they'll add features for fleshing out life stages in patches and spread some of them in various packs because marketing a Generations style EP is tricky and probably not worth the risk.
