When will EA release the first 2023 EP?

I just want them to release a pack soonTM. (Suggestions: "Sweet tooth" for a SP, "Generations" for a GP, "Showtime" for an EP, "Get to work" for a refresh!)
I am really bored after 2022 didn't add much to the game (2x GP, 1x EP) and we didn't get any new content since July 2022. :'(

If a new EP was a possibility in January, I think we would have heard something by now. A GP could be released in February then a new EP in June. But it would need to be something truly exciting, with totally new content before I think about purchasing anything. The manner in which the latest packs are being released, plus the content in the updates, reminds me of how Sims3 was slowly phased out the year before Sims4 was released. The development teams seem to be wrapping things up, which is evident by the hinted at January release of freed babies. I expect there to be more of this as time goes on. Which is fine. It's about time they figured out how to untether those poor babies. I'm content with staying in hover mode and just play my game until more bugs are fixed.

Oops, I voted May because I was thinking announcement, not release.

My guess is that the two expansion packs will come out June/July and November/December because it seems that's when they've decided they sell best, which makes sense with summer and Christmas.

They did say that the infant update is coming out early 2023, so that'll probably be patched in in January or February right before a random GP, just like the toddler patch and Vampires. There's no reason to think the infant patch has to come out around the same time as a generation expansion, even if that would be nice.

I agree. I don't think we'll get the EP in January. They usually promote it for weeks before releasing, so I think February is the earliest we will see the EP.

I now think February and probably the first or second week.

I too think it's going to be in early February as well.

Gonna go with March. That's 8 months since High School, and knowing upfront we'll most likely get 2 EPS this year, that would set it perfectly for another 8 months to November.

I picked January at the time but it looks like probably February.

I think infants update probably come first
but I think EP should be way before April given they already teased about it

also since January patch arrived without infants I feel like they'll push that to early February

then do we really get infants and pre ep patch so close together to have release in February feels rather tight fit

maybe late February or early March

looking at past we don't really have eps early in the year but Get to Work was March

therefore i click March
at least i'll be pleasantly surprised if its February

We may be getting an EP Announcement this week.
