    Assuming we are getting 2 gamepacks this year then either this week or next week. I remember similar discussions this time last year and we got no February gamepack so I am keeping my hopes low. As others have said if we do get one they do seem to follow quickly after a stuffpack. For the theme I’m hoping it’s a high school pack as they did ask us high school related questions in one of the surveys last year and going by the theme of content from surveys into packs recently it wouldn’t surprise me.

    I really doubt another pack would come so soon, it's only been two weeks since Paranormal released and they haven't hinted at any upcoming packs at all. I assume they just didn't finish the anniversary update in time which is why the patch is late. Plus if there is a pack, why would they tease a pre-pack patch instead of teasing the actual pack?

    There have been tight gaps like this in the past. Laundry Day Stuff, Jungle Adventure and My First Pet stuff were all released within 3 months. And in 2019 Realm of Magic got announced like a week after Moschino Stuff came out.

    Who knows.

    With a March 2nd release date, this pack would be released 5 weeks after Paranormal. There are 5 game packs with shorter release gaps than that.

    Jungle Adventure (2 weeks from My First Pet)
    Dine Out (3 weeks from Kids Room)
    Parenthood (3 weeks from Fitness Stuff)
    Spa Day (4 weeks from Perfect Patio or Cool Kitchen)
    Realm of Magic (4 weeks from Moschino Stuff).

    This all this.

    I think last year we didn't get 2 gamepacks cause of the pandemic. They were having to learn how to work from home.

    The pandemic started feb/March time in most places which doesn’t fit that timeline for a gamepack early 2020. I think they used last year to focus on journey to batuu for the gamepack team @catloverplayer

    Let's say it's a Dragon-related Game Pack. That alone can give us the date.

    February Dragon is a novel by Colin Thiele, and was published on September 1st, 1965. September (9) + 1st (1) = 10. February 10th. Now, that's on a Wednesday. We normally get hints about packs on Mondays, then reveals on Tuesdays. But I'm pretty sure we've had reveals on Wednesdays, too. Regardless, February 10th is suspiciously close to when a pack would normally be revealed.

    On an unrelated note, the author's full name has 11 letters. February 11th is my birthday. EA would know about my birthday because it's attached to my all my EA-related accounts. So they could very well be surprising me with a dragon pack for my birthday.

    EDIT: The book came out in 1965. 1 + 9 + 6 + 5= 21. As in, the 21st anniversary of the Sims. The anniversary was on the 4th, but we're getting the patch 21 days later, on the 25th. It all comes together.

    You related to the CEO then? ;)

    Happy Birthday for the 11th February though!

    There is actually evidence that Journey to Batuu was originally planned as Game Pack 10, so there is a missing Game Pack 9 that we don't know about that could have been planned for January - March, 2020 but was cancelled or postponed.

    Oooh, this is quite interesting... It makes sense the pandemic messing their schedule: GP09 being postponed and the Star Wars GP, since it was a "big" collab, being released as aimed.

    I know this does not necessarily mean something bad, but Batuu could have used the extra time. I do not like the themes, but it is obvious it would have been better with more time to bake. If you are going to do something at all, at least do it right.

    I need to say that "I don't want another Star Wars game pack for The Sims 4 this year".

    I'm still thinking about the waterfall tweet that you linked one time in a thread. Shouldn't this coming pack be the one to fit that aesthetic? It's one of the reasons I think the upcoming GP (whenever it will come) will be Resorts/Hotels or Malls.

    Teaser on Tuesday and reveal on Wednesday. More evidence towards my dragon theory.

    Better start picking out names for your dragons, folks.

    oh so this is why the themes in year 2020 didn't spark joy they probably skipped the one theme i was going to like oh silly EA

    yes everything makes sense now

    blame covid for it all

    (okay joking but if next gp is romance or occult themed then theory is very much correct :lol: )

    I don’t mean to set the cat amongst the pigeons but I don’t think trailers usually release on a Wednesday they usually realise on a Tuesday with the teaser on the Monday.
