Will The Sims 4 Only Have Four Expansions Total?

    Today i wrote very intersting theory here http://ts4news.com/ about expansions. And I note this theory has a right to exist because all the sims series lasted for four-five years. The Sims 4 is two years now and we have only 2 expansions! And i think maybe this is truth that the game packs and stuff packs and free patches make up for the lack of expansions? Remember that we have never had game packs and so frequent stuff packs in neither the sims 2 nor in the sims3! But we had stable expansions. What do you think, simmers?

    We may end up with only four expansions but at least we will end up with #187 stuff packs which includes The Sims 4: He's Not The Father, The Sims 4: Seriously He's Not The Father, and a sequel to the latter The Sims 4: You can''t make babies from Play-dough you clown so he's definitely not the father!

    4 expansions total? if we're lucky. the less damage that the current camarilla does to the franchise the better. i just hope so much damage hasn't already been done that it can't rebound.

    We'll probably get more than 4 EPs in the lifespan of the game. They could have periods where they decided to work on SPs and GPs more, and then the next period could be almost entirely devoted to working on EPs for the future.

    But if what people want is for the BG to be fixed before any more packs come out, I guess that they should completely halt any packs their working on and devote all of it to the BG, since the packs are absolutely useless for anyone if the BG isn't good enough. Because bugs keep getting introduced in packs and break the game, because it's not like packs have done that before a lot of times before TS4. So just shut down any DLC operations and get to work on just making mega-patches for the rest of this game, with DLC being a no-go until the BG is entirely fixed to the "perfect" standards that everybody will absolutely agree on and have no problems about. Yeah, realistic standards and expectations.

    Even though my expectations are super low, deep down I'm still hoping there is a reason for them to be taking so long to release EP03, and that next year we'll start getting EPs every 6 months or so again. If they are truly putting EPs at the bottom of their priorities list, then I don't see this game ever being a satisfying experience to me like the previous ones were. There is still so much missing and if they release only one EP a year from now on, there's no way TS4 will feel like a full game by the time it reaches its end. Unless they plan to keep it alive for more than 5 years that is.

    From what we've been told there are separate teams for EP's, GP's, SP's and 'engagement features' (free content). It stands to reason that each team should be able to accomplish their own projects without halting another team or their progress. At most I would assume resources could be shared between teams, but that should never affect production, if so that means they are understaffed.

    @jackjack_k Not bothering because im right yeah and don't try to degrade me it's plain rude, And the sims 2 had more gameplay it doesn't matter if it has less items your being ridiculous you'd rather has a load of items but no gameplay? It's people like you who make ea think its alright to behave in this way.

    You aren't right.

    So you'd rather pay $20 for 40 - 60 non-gameplay items, than $20 for 150 - 200 objects with at least 10 Gameplay items, and Gameplay.
    That is what you have said.

    So you're saying as long as EA deliver a nice base, you're then happy for them to rip you off the rest of the campaign.

    That is literally your argument.


    OMG Why do you have to defend EVERYTHING about this game?

    Look, I love The Sims 4, I REALLY love it. I stopped playing The Sims 3 in early 2011, I did not even think there would be a fourth game because I was so disappointed that I don't even care to read the news about The Sims. But I was surprised to see the Teaser Trailer in 2013, and now I'm addicted to this game!

    But I'm not blind, I know this game needs more gameplay and other aspects that make The Sims 2 the best game in the series. Telling the truth sometimes doesn't make you a bad fan, but allows developers to improve the game :).

    That person again complaining the game isn't up to his standards? What is his standards? I mean I realize everyone wants toddlers and the EP haven't been the best so far but they still add things to the game. The game is good and gets better with all the content added to it things like toddlers for me personally isn't really going to be a huge game changer in my honest opinion. This is the newest video of his.

    Thanks for posting that. Hadn't seen it yet. I happen to agree. To me the base game should be a stand alone and packs should just be things to enhance what the game already has. They shouldn't be just for adding stuff to do because of an empty base.

    Maybe... the question is- How many Stuff packs will they make?

    My Opinion Rulez! -me. :lol:

    So, @SimGuruDrake -any word? Can you say: How many are planned? ... :cookie:LoveSims_zpsxccodest.png

    @pepperjax1230 , to whom are you referring? The person above you or the guy in the video you supplied? I happen to fully agree with the guy in the video. I have played the Sims, since 2005 beginning my "gaming" experience with the Sims2. I also made the transition to Sims3, based on the perks EA said it had. I also waited for every EP hoping and praying interactions that were "missing", yet essential to my enjoyment, to be returned. Guess what, they never were. :open_mouth: I would have been happy to have them added with a new twist to them, such as the twist on reading to the children and the fact our Sims could read to the toddler in their crib. I loved the fact that toddler was sitting next to the reader instead of across from them AND being able to help turn the page. So sweet. That was a wonderful improvement upon what once was. As for other interactions I completely missed, they never returned. They did give us a Nursery Set from the Store which allowed us to bathe both babies and toddlers, but it just wasn't up to the interactions from Sims2, nor was it an improvement. I bought it in all hope that interaction could be ticked off of my list of needs.

    This Simmer ended up with a love/hate relationship with Sims3, as a result. Now, Sims4 has removed a life stage altogether, and many are grousing over the too subtle differences between teens/YAs and Adults. I can't blame them. While I don't, personally, have a problem with the teens being as tall as they are (I have two sons in RL and they shot up quickly), at least we don't have what appear to be 13 year olds driving cars! But they need more of a distinction. Teens are NOT YAs, and YAs for the most part are NOT teens. I was in my last year as a teen when I got married. Huge difference from the me I was two years prior.

    I'm teetering on the edge of leaving this game when I really thought EA had given us back our Sims. (That was the 'hook' for me.) The way the Sims were in Sims3, so far different from how lively and FUN they were in Sims2, that alone isn't enough anymore. I was resigned to not purchasing ANYTHING else beyond the base game, unless I saw something in it that it would be well worth it. I liked how lively the Sims were in the game. I fell for the trap, yet again. I have everything to date. Now, I'm seriously considering playing just Sims2 & 3. I know it will be hard going backward, missing the CAS, the look of the Sims themselves, and the build mode of this game and the other perks it offers, but, in time, I'll get over it, I'm sure.

    Unless or until EA fixes Sims4.

    Until they don't make sense any more.


    RF: You know what, all I have to say is that The Sims 3 lasted for five years of content and still has lots and lots of fans. We have been improving and growing and building on The Sims 4 month after month after launch, and we will continue to do that until it doesn’t make sense.

    Well the bit about TS3 having a lot of fans makes sense, just take a look at the TS3 GD? That black is so busy it needs traffic lights! :smiley:

    Let Google be your friend :D
    A camarilla is a group of courtiers or favourites who surround a king or ruler. Usually, they do not hold any office or have any official authority at court but influence their ruler behind the scenes.

    In literary terms, like the king's comrades who tend to influence him...So I'm not super sure what he means here. Probably he meant as in like EA's influence.

    The person is referring to the website and I am just commenting on the video on that website. I have been playing the sims since 2003 when it was still the sims 1 and I have never expected anything for any of the new games. The base game shouldn't be a stand alone game it has far to little to do to even be that. Besides we have GP now to and we never had GP so really in all honesty we should not be getting the same amount of EP like in previous games. I mean we should get a good amount but we also have like mini EP with GP so I don't know here he is going with that.

    Ah, yes, but I just did an internet search and all I got for my efforts was it's a city in Ventura County, CA (which I already knew being from CA originally) or that is was a Spanish or Cuban dish. Than you, so very much for the definition, as it was meant in the reference. :)

    That was the point of the video. A lot of games have enough to do that they don't need new packs. The packs should be available for when you want to add something different....not need to be there to add stuff because the base is empty and has little to do.

    I played the S2 base for months without wanting extra content. I was able to play S3 for quite some time before wanting new content (and neither of these had all the content he was talking about).

    I played TS4 for an afternoon on the day it was released and I needed extra content then.

    Unless or until EA fixes Sims4.
    The person is referring to the website and I am just commenting on the video on that website. I have been playing the sims since 2003 when it was still the sims 1 and I have never expected anything for any of the new games. The base game shouldn't be a stand alone game it has far to little to do to even be that. Besides we have GP now to and we never had GP so really in all honesty we should not be getting the same amount of EP like in previous games. I mean we should get a good amount but we also have like mini EP with GP so I don't know here he is going with that.

    That was the point of the video. A lot of games have enough to do that they don't need new packs. The packs should be available for when you want to add something different....not need to be there to add stuff because the base is empty and has little to do.

    I played the S2 base for months without wanting extra content. I was able to play S3 for quite some time before wanting new content (and neither of these had all the content he was talking about).

    I played TS4 for an afternoon on the day it was released and I needed extra content then.
    A stand alone game to me is a spin off of the game and it can just stand alone without getting more because it has the content. I don't see Sims 4 as a stand alone game because they take things out of the game to add later in other forms of content EP,SP or GP. Having said that I don't see where it is written we should have 4 EP by the time Sims 4 is 2 years old. We have GP which is basically one themed mini EP's. So if we have less EP you aren't seeing the GP are filling that void to.

    4 expansions total? if we're lucky. the less damage that the current camarilla does to the franchise the better. i just hope so much damage hasn't already been done that it can't rebound.

    Interesting points, but what is a camarilla?

    Let Google be your friend :D
    A camarilla is a group of courtiers or favourites who surround a king or ruler. Usually, they do not hold any office or have any official authority at court but influence their ruler behind the scenes.

    Ah, yes, but I just did an internet search and all I got for my efforts was it's a city in Ventura County, CA (which I already knew being from CA originally) or that is was a Spanish or Cuban dish. Than you, so very much for the definition, as it was meant in the reference. :)

    :D I just Googled the word and that definition was at the top of the first page.

    Well, there, you see, that was my problem I don't Google. I hate Google. They spy on us and collect our information to sell. Or weren't you aware of this?

    Apple does that too, and so does Microsoft and Facebook.
