As we probably all know by now, around four weeks back they announced that a new EP would be announced in the next few weeks. It could be any time soon, but my theory is that it will be when the 6 month roadmap ends. Basically on April 6th they announced a 6th month roadmap for the game with all the content that would be announced during that time, this roadmap ends this Tuesday, October 6th.https://media.contentapi.ea.com/content/dam/eacom/SIMS/common/ts4-april-6-blog-image.png.adapt.1456w.pngAfter then they can announce any content they want. My theory is that they'll announce the next EP on the 6th as it fits the timescale perfectly, its a "few weeks" after it was confirmed and the last 6 month roadmap is over by then. They also usually announce packs on a Tuesday, JTB and knitting were both announced on a Tuesday. The 6th is also a Tuesday so it fits. It's also the same day as the patch. My theory with that is that they planned them both to be on the same day so people won't complain as much as they'll be happy about the skintones patch. It makes sense from a business POV. If you know people are gonna complain which they seemingly do from what they said about the pack, give them something else they want at the same time to keep them happy.It does all add up to me, no clue what the pack will be but I'm placing all my bets on the 6th.

Would be interesting to have it drop the same day as the patch. Has that ever been done before?

My 36th guess: yes, it will be released on the 6th. If not, somewhere next week at least. I’m more curious about the theme...?

I still think either the week of the 19th, maybe the week of the 12th or 26th at earliest/latest.

It’s possible, but I don’t think they will announce it next week.The skin tone patch is a big deal for them PR-wise, so I don’t think they’ll want to take attention away from that. I think the week after the patch is more likely.

Will EP10 be announced this week?

I am not convinced that they want to split up the spotlight for the patch to reveal new news. It might be the same week, but the same day seems to be pushing it a little.

Unless the theme of the new pack is something niche that will rile a lot of people up like the star wars pack.

This is just fixing a couple of skintones not adding the new ones.

I'm hopeful we ll get a teaser Tomorrow.

True. Folks may be getting confused that Tuesday is 'The Great 100+ skin tone/ slider Patch Day'.
It's just a tiny update. Let's see what else the week will bring us.

Plus it's only the PC player that'll get the first skintone update on the 6th, consoles will get it in november...
