    Well we are pretty sure that we are likely not going to get an EP before September anyways. Since they have already release the teaser for this quarter, and most of us know that only one theme came up in that. So maybe they might give us a hint of something for The Sims at Gamescom this year. Only time will tell!

    Sony, Microsoft, and EA are not doing a conference at Gamescom but they have already confirmed they will be on the Gamescom floor with their booth and demoing their games - so there will not be any announcements from EA. It is in the Gamescom news. I guess EA said all they were going to say for the June Conference they held and had nothing new to add, which of course never mentioned the Sims 4 as i watched that whole Conference.


    Here's one of the articles about it:

    Not really sure - but don't recall them not having a Press Conference before - although I know Sony opted out before though.

    I vaguely remember EA being at Gamescom back during TS3 days, but didn't hold a press conference while they were there.

    I'm honestly wondering we will even have one at all this year.

    there ought to be a Game Pack
    they have to have a GP to make a bundle with Kids Room SP & Backyard SP

    that will come definately probably
    but an EP ... hm

    Gamescom will show how important TheSims franchise is to EA
    i also wonder if there will be anything about TSFP or Sim City Build It
    or anything sims related at all
    if it won't, then it doesn't look good for this whole simulational section of games from EA :confused:


    i won't be participating in the forums & the gallery anymore - thanks EA

    Yes but back then it was mainly to show already announced content. And they did live streams.

    EA held press conferences in 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015. 2012 was the futile conference with Sim City.
    Sorry, search: Gamescon EA press conferences on youtube, they have the old ones up to 2010-2015. I can't seem to paste the address.

    It's likely due to how costly it is. Is there really any reason they should go to Gamescom for a press conference?
    Live your life to the fullest, don't wait for a miracle to happen, be the miracle to make things happen.
    Sometimes your creativity is limited where you use it most, but you can use those limitations to inspire new forms of creativity you may never have thought of beforehand.

    If they plan on making a big announcement then yes. But if not then there's really no reason to go other then to let fans play with the game or to visit the booth.

    That is what I have been wondering and why I was interested in knowing about their presence at gamescom this year.
    I have been with this game since its inception as The Sims and never have I seen such a lack of communication.
    It is an information desert out there.

    I didnt understand what about gamescom? Developers do you know something about it or not?

    Oh I'm pretty SURE they know, the question is: are they ready to share some information about it? Is it even ready or only HALF-way done?

    EP3 will probebly be revealed in the next Teaser which would be September.

    It's all speculation until EA decides it's time to drop the cloak and dagger act and say anything that actually means something. How long has it been since an EA employee residing outside the States has 'leaked' info? I suspect we will see another leak soon. And I have serious doubts about these little 'leaks' being innocent or beyond EA's control. They're actually becoming EA's method of choice when it comes to sharing news. It's a bit odd the leak hits the forums and then EA makes an announcement of some kind; denies the leak is valid and then announces a game or stuff pack that closely resembles what was contained in the info that was leaked. Gamescon isn't that far off so I am looking for another info drop from an EA employee, who is not based here in the states, a week or so before Gamescon begins. Especially when the event is being held in Europe.
