I was thinking about when they would probably announce Sims 5 (or anything as bigger), but that doesn't mean the end of Sims 4 at all. So 2022 is my right vote.
Ending in 2020 means we would get only more 3 EPs and 5 GPs, which barely covers the amount of stuff we're expecting to get back from previous iterations. I still wanna be surprised, have the unprecedented experiences, and I guess having at least until 2022 is required for that.
Sims 2 only had eight expansion packs, so it's not completely unlikely that Sims 4 will only end up having roughly that many in the end. It's also possible that they might release two expansion packs around the same time (like they did with Sims 3: Supernatural and Seasons). If that's the case, then we could end up with about 10 by the time 2020 comes around. Also, let's not forget that game packs and stuff packs exist too. This is the first installment with game packs, so we can't really predict how this will effect the amount of expansion packs.
I'm really trying to give EA the benefit of the doubt, but it's kinda hard to do so when they pull something like they did the other day... but all joking aside, I think we'll see the end of Sims 4 by the time 2020 comes around. My guess is the next expansion packs will probably be Seasons and University. Other than that, I really don't know what else simmers have been demanding that can't simply be game packs or stuff packs. I just hope they DON'T continue the trend of making stuff packs based on expansion packs.
I believe that was possible because there were two studios working on EP’s back then? So I don’t think that will happen now.
That's also a good point... I wasn't thinking of that. Regardless, Seasons and University are the only two major expansion packs I can think of. So I don't really know what else they'll end up doing. Especially when we now have game packs. For example, people say they want witches, fairies, and werewolves back in the game, but they could very well be a game pack (just like Vampires). Other than Seasons and University, there's really nothing else that's major. Which is probably what EA has planned.
I definitely think any supernaturals indeed will be GP’s (and Vampires proves that it works). So yeah, could very well be the only EP’s they’re still planning are Seasons and University. Maybe not even University, that could also be a GP...
