No word for a while on any coming out , just the constant release of the kit packs which i haven't touched as i am not interested in their content

And the RMS Titanic will be making port in Boston Harbor under her own power. Am increasingly suspecting that they've switched over to kits. Easier and faster to make with fewer resources committed. For all the hype, TS4 does seem to be yesterday's news with EA. Be nice if I could share your hope, but can't. Pack-wise, things have been too quiet too long.
I am cautiously hopeful that they are attempting to fix core gameplay issues with the game before adding more buggy packs. Not really into the kits either, since my game requires more significant gameplay features and less build/buy or CAS content.
Nothing has "happened" - but we were told (I believe) in the August 411 that the second half of 2021 would be focused on a pack refresh (Spa Day), Kits, and base-game content & updates. And that is what we have seen. Cottage Living was the last big pack for this year - and I am okay with that. It's a doozy.
We've also been told that every pack increases the difficulty of QA (bug fixes) exponentially. They are probably combing through some older code, to patch up older packs and assure future ones can be created with fewer unintended complications. We do know that there are multiple YEARS worth of packs in the pipeline - including (it is hinted) a likelihood of some further occult life-states.
We'll know more with the January "Inside Maxis" stream. The devs and gurus really do talk rather a lot about current projects, and a little about future plans. Packs are in the plans - just not in the rest of this year.

Its true the sims 4 would make a awful boat I don't think the game case could keep you above water.
Yea. No kits have seemed worth any money at all. Just expensive, worst cc, with fewer options... not sure why I'd pay for that. But I'm sure they're making a boatload of money... Good for them. Hopefully we get good packs next year. Cottage Living was decent... I'm actually not mad I paid full price for it...

Sims 4 really seemed to start out like "fighting the last war"—then the explosion of "sell one basegame for a decade's worth of play" happened—either through live service games or endless DLC—and EA/Maxis now has to rejigger their game on the fly to adjust to that new reality.
Personally, I love the direction the industry's taken—as a singleplayer-only gamer, I always looked on a bit enviously at MMO players and their constant new content. If done right, it's the best of all worlds. If done wrong...it's a shameless cash grab best avoided.

I'm 100% sure Kits are a response to the global pandemic slowing down game development across the industry as a whole. The Sims team puts out an insane amount of DLC each year compared to any other singleplayer game out there, and they are continuing to do so while there's still a pandemic going on. I don't think there's any reason to catastrophize, especially when we're already really fortunate to get all this new content on a yearly basis. Like @ACruelButLovingGod said, normally it's only MMOs that get this kind of attention, and even then, not nearly as much new packs in a year. Just be patient and more packs will come.
I havent even updated my game in like 3 months since I dont see the need. I dont buy kits, the game is still buggy so why add more bugs, and the new bg content doesn't interest me, so Ive basically been on a sims hiatus. Hoping we get news of a real pack soon, but until then Ive got other games that have been keeping me occupied.
I now just wonder if they will keep pushing out kits until TS5 is released , The silence is deafening from EA about any future plans
There's no deafening silence.
We have known for months that we will get nothing but kits and free stuff during the Seaons of Selves (e.g. until January 2022).
They also stated that the next EP is in the works.
Moreover December has almost always been a dry month for new content - with mostly only one patch that brought some horrible bugs to persist over the Christmas holidays.

The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
We don't know. 😄 Hopefully we'll get some news in the new year.
lol good one .
yes here's hoping for a good 2022
Don't mind seeing more pack refreshes though which I hope another one is comin soon.
Just waiting for more improvements for the base game and sims themselves.

I'm usually just being sad that I can't buy whatever the last pack of the year is immediately anyway
cause the sims fund is usually replenished on christmas (or well i hope so) and I'm always just a little short on fun stuff money this time of year
+ I'm still desperately wishing this is sign that they are planning romance gp/ep aiming for valentines release
(i mean probably not but if i ever had situation to make that speculation imma use it )
