When do you think we'll get an announcement?
I'm curious as to when we'll hear about this next EP/GP/SP and its release date. Do you think they'll tell us anything this week? Or maybe wait until the first full week of May? I'm so excited to hear...

Well it's clearly not witches because it's not a game pack, it has to be island vacation EP or university, otherwise, the community will be furious.
There is no proof that witches are coming in a game packThey could come in an expansion pack.
I don't see that happening for two reasons:Unless they add the ability to turn on/off occult states spawning in the game (like aliens and vampires) there are players who will have to miss an expansion pack which adds a lot more features. Occult fans might get upset that witches are getting an EP while Vampires only got a GP.
For those reasons I think witches and any other future occults will be in a GP.
Thinking the only way an occult could fit in an expansion is with an on/off switch is ridiculous. It’s not the players fault that Maxis has absolutely zero creativity when it comes to occult’s, but they absolutely could include them and keep them behind a trigger. Remember in Sims 2 how your sims never got abducted by aliens unless you performed a specific interaction at a specific time??
The problem isn’t occult’s, it’s Maxis having no idea what to do with them unless they market the hell out of them. The franchise has included occult sims in expansions for a lot longer than it hasn’t. It has nothing to do with people missing expansions or needing a way to turn something off. Those two prerequisites are quite literally the result of Maxis own poor game design for occult’s in Sims 4 and to a lesser degree Sims 3, but at least that game still got a fresh occult with every expansion.
