What do you all think the next expansion pack will be?

Dragons

My List of Possibilities for the next EP of course it won't happen but can always think and hope EA Maxis gets some clues

» Occult and world (Hopefully Fae (elves, fairies with dragons that are small or can be large)
» South America World and with it the Caribbean that isn't vacation that comes with cruises and hotel/ resorts and more CAS that works with the Carnaval streetwear kit and build/buy so we can create our own Carnavals
» Mediterranean world that isn't vacation that comes with cruises and hotel/ resorts with Islands, Turkey and Middle East and more build/buy CAS that works with desert deluxe and courtyard oasis
» More culture representation
» Career, Classes, Hobbies/ Skills, Aspirations and Traits, Afterschool Events, Holidays
» The Happy Haunts that was on a list way back with Grim Reaper career, occult and spirit world and please a cemetery with a mausoleum and plots better ghosts, demons, angels
» Pirates, medieval world to go with the medieval kit we all voted for
» Amusement Park with hotel/ resort that isn't mostly rabbit hole for the rides and games, petting zoo

I think the next EP could be hobbies, bands or hotels. I think all 3 are requested by simmers and have a chance of coming true. Of course the sims could surprise us with something no ones sees coming like they did with eco lifestyle.
I also wouldn't mind an occult EP with fairies, elves, genies, dragons,...

I hope and believe hotels will be next, and at the same time multipurpose lots. They have hinted travel for the last few packs, with things like suitcases and artwork, and hinted multipurpose lots when they made residential rentals. It makes sense that the two would come together, as it wouldn't be possible to have real, functional, hotels without being able to combine it with souvenir shops, cafés, restaurants, gyms and spas and even residentials in a b&b capacity. With any luck a hotel pack would cater to a lot of different versions of hotels, from shady motels with vibrating beds to luxury sea resorts with individual cabanas stretching out into the ocean.

If we get a world with it (and I'm not sure I want one even, as the last few worlds has been so incredibly small and lacking of any real things to do other than admire the beautiful scenery or go on rabbit hole adventures) I hope it will be a place that is varied with different types of vacations. Preferably somewhere new. I favoured the idea of India before (beach, city and mountains), but then Tamarang might be too similar in nature and location. But some place in Africa (beach, safari in the bush or jungle, a busy town area as well), or a world that plays well with jungle adventure (Rio with beach, city, and edge of the jungle perhaps, maybe with a carnival event?)

I think that if we get fairies, which seems to be the next likely occult, it will be a game pack rather than an EP just as vampires and werewolves. I think the same around bands. An entire EP more about fame seems unreasonable when we have Get Famous, but a well made GP that focus on that career and new musical instruments that can be well crossed with the Get Famous system could work well.

A hobby EP seems to me to be even less likely as they could release it hobby by hobby over several stuff packs and make more money.

I can’t even begin to guess what the next EP will be. The theme in For Rent was totally unexpected to me. I do, though, expect there to be quite a wait for it. I think there’ll be only one EP this year, so my guess is it won’t come for a while.

An EP without a new world would be good. I think they give us worlds every time because otherwise lots of simmers would be unhappy. I absolutely love all the worlds, but we do have a lot now. And imagine if they put all the resources that go into making a new world into gameplay instead... But I think that’s unlikely.

I’m hoping for:

Bands/Music
Fairies/Dragons occult pack (hopefully with an enchanted forest world and real unicorns)
Vacation Resort pack (with hotels in a large Caribbean inspired beach world, water sports, houseboats, diving and cross pack compatibility for expanded mermaid play for Island Living).

I have no idea either. I am so curious to see what it is.

Yes I agree with you.

I’m just hoping for bands at this point. I feel like it would integrate really well with Get Famous and I could create messy scandals with musicians and actors and everything.

I think the next expansion is going to be supernatural. The main features will be fairies, updated plantsims and a new "powers" system that any sim may get. The powers overhaul is going to be the "expansive" feature. These powers could be stuff like ice manipulation or telekinesis. The player will be able to give this power to any sim including the previous occults. It will also have a new fairy world inspired by Switzerland.
