Why do people think University is next ?

It could honestly be either or when it comes to a university ep or tropical island ep. For the sims 3 uni came out in March and island paradise came out in June, I don't think they'd really release a pack based on the season unless it's a stuff pack (e.g. spooky stuff ). Just an opinion c:

The literal only other thing I could see the next EP being is a tropical vacation pack, only because it's rumored to come out in June. Otherwise, university seems to be the best bet.

If the EP isn't University, you think he would've said the fans are going to hate it? Don't get me wrong, I have strong vibes that Uni is next, as it's the most requested EP that we don't have yet. But gurus doing their jobs by being positive and promoting the game they work on should be taken as just that.

I'll really be surprised if University comes out before an Island Pack since it would make sense to release an Island Vacation in the Summer and Uni in the Fall. We shall see though.

Sims 3 University was released in March. They don't have to have a specific time of year to release packs. Just like I don't understand why everyone says witches have to be released in October for Halloween when Vampires was released in January.

I don’t believe there’s a “time of the year” for certain packs or whatever. Things come when they come.

But to answer OP’s question: University is an all-time favorite for a lot of Simmers. It’s unthinkable it won’t come and as we’ve had the other main favorites (Seasons, Pets, Vamps and something with generations) already, it seems logical to get University next.

Whether it comes out in June or not, I’m hoping for a customizable experience and possibly schooling options as well.

I don't think. I just hope, pray and wish.

To be fair, Grant says that every single time. Its as predictable as night following day.

Seasons and Get famous were pretty good though

Seasons still not the best Seasons imo. I still think it lacks (Sims 4 tradition). They can claim it to be ''the best version ever'' but that never was the truth when it comes to TS4 imo.

With The Sims 4 it's trade off after trade off and compromise after compromise.

The Sims 4’s Seasons is wayyyyy better than Sims 2 Seasons.

The Sims 2 Seasons didn’t have real weather for a start (it had an onscreen filter for everything). They couldn’t get real weather to work without it raining indoors (even though they could on the console games) and instead of patching it in for free when they did fix it they released a whole expansion around it.

The Gardening feature was a huge part of Seasons YET it was actually taken directly out of the Sims 2 PSP which shared the same engine. They added different plants but the system itself and certain animations was taken from the PSP game.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, they didn’t optimise it so your game (no matter what system you have) will become “heavy” and the camera controls slow down because it’s an onscreen filter rather than rendered in real time. The same thing occurs when Witches appear on your lot and they apply a filter to your screen.

This isn’t even “objective” this is what happens in game. You can’t tell me The Sims 4 Seasons has more trade offs than this? The Sims 4 snow is like 1 inch thick, but apart from that it’s feature filled.

You even need to buy Happy Holiday Stuff to have Christmas seperately.

Talk to me again if you played the Sims 3 Seasons.

The Sims 2 Seasons was the first Seasons ever, the Sims 4 Seasons is not.

What is the main part of a Seasons EP? Right. The Seasons and the Weather.

Why don't we have hail, layered snow, iciles hanging from the roofs in winter, rain effects on roofs and surfaces, no rain drop effects on various surfaces, no sunburns etc.

No, I still think Sims 3 seasons is the best. It is not fair to compare the Sims 2 to the Sims 4 imo. The Sims 2 Seasons was a first, while Sims 4 Seasons is not.

The calendar feature and the gardening is nice, but that doesn't make the Sims 4 version better than the Sims 3 version for me.

No, the missing snow depth is only a part of all the things missing and traded off in the Sims 4 version.

But in the end; if people like the Sims 4 version more, more power to them.

Seasons and Get famous were pretty good though

that's what I was thinking, the last three expansion packs were highly requested themes, pets, seasons and fame. They're clearly following a trend here. Next pack realistically seems like it will likely be a university themed pack.

Expansions seem to be the things people want and game packs seem to be a bit more experimental, sometimes giving requested things and sometimes trying something brand new.

I wouldn't be surprised if an education-based expansion was next but at the same time there are other requested themes as well. It's really just people getting their hopes up when they shouldn't.

I don't think it's simply "wishful thinking", although most of it probably is. But there's a few other reasons of why I'm expecting it to be University.

- We're almost 5 years into TS4, they NEED to put out the favorites, otherwise they will never hear the end of it and they could possibly start losing players. It took them 3 years to finally start releasing the most wanted packs, so it makes sense to keep making them. It's time!
- The voice actors' for TS4 released some video clips and pictures that could hint at the theme of the pack. In some of them they are flirting and in another one they are ding dong ditching one another with one of the actors mentioning "the last time I did this I was in high school." It could mean nothing, but it could also mean something. Overall, there's a lot of teen/young adult vibes coming from their posts, a lot of screwing around and messing with each other.
- The last patch added laptops to the base game as well as new "office/study" furniture. I get nothing but University vibes from it.
- The patch where 32 bit will be ditched could also mean something big will come in the next expansion. It could be the roommate/dorms system which will allow our sims to live with multiple NPCs on the same building? Maybe.
- There's already a bunch of hints in game and outside of the game. We all know the sims team likes to casually hint at future packs.

These are just some of the things that make me confident Uni is next. But in the end it's all speculation. Maybe it's not the next EP but it's the one after. I do think they are at least working on it for some time now.
