What is says on the tin.
EA you essentially gave us a Sims game that's a step back all the way to Sims 1. Seriously. How much did you budget for Sims 4 anyways? I'd be playing Sims 3 right now if it didn't freak. I'll give Sims 4 props on the quick load, smoothness but that's it. The soul of the game has been gutted and replaced with a dead eyed fish. Would it have really cost so much to simply go with the original child, teen, young adult, adult and senior heights and appearance ranges and take the game's animations to a Capture Studio and do things proper? You are EA! You have financial resources that would make any indie company all hot and bothered with naughty woohoo dreams.
Sims 4 isn't even close to a full game. Its like a vampire book without the vampires.
Seriously, don't bother with expansion packs. Take your losses like a mature company and give up on making profit this quarter and put your assets in making Sims 5 proper. Make it everything Sims 4 was supposed to be! For the sake of the Almighty, give us back Create a Style

Nah. They'll start once they run out of Exp. pack ideas that add things to the game like they did for 1, 2, and 3.
that was a joke lol It never fails to amaze me how just after a new game has released people are already talking about the next one. Give it another 4 to 5 years until people should be talking about TS5. Most of the world haven't even played the new one yet and people are already asking about TS5! I don't even remember many people talking about TS2 for at least a couple of years after the original had been released
It was said in your last thread, smoogie, that this thread would appear...
Sigh.
OP, come back in 5 years.
I might as well be the first person to start talking about The Sims 6, yes TS6, how little will we seen in the base game that will cost more than 100 £,$, Euros, Yan, Simoleons ect
Yes some of the stuff from the store should have been in the base game but some stuff was free, we did get a few simpoints and we got a new world to play from day one and then not long later we got the best (yet more complicated) tool ever, CAW which was free. So far nothing free has been offered for TS4 yet
The Sims 5 will already be in the early stages of development. The Sims 4 went into development in 2008, a year before The Sims 3 even came out.

You are free to break the chains of fate that bind you. Simmer since est. 2002.
It's kind of early for that.
Even if this game belly-flops as hard as Simcity did, there will be about 18 months of developer life. If it's 'okay' in sales, you can look at about 3 before they abandon it and shift all their funding to another project.
The creation of Sims 5 is going to depend on the success of Sims 4. That's just the way things work. I don't think we'll ever see another Simcity, ever, unless EA crashes and burns or someone buys the franchise for a king's ransom from them. In the future, city simulators are going to come from competitors under different titles.
Sims 5, if it is developed, will probably be a tablet game. A lot of casual genre games are getting shoehorned into the mobile market, because there's this assumption that people who play them do not want to play regular games on PC. A lot of younger generation players are growing up on tablets, not custom-building 'rigs' from gaming. EA knows this. I don't foresee good things because of this.
But yeah. Just way too much speculation right now. Focus on fixing Sims 4.
There are plenty of things they could have done with each of those games, respectfully. However, over time people just lose interest. A new base game brings back excitement and enthusiasm for the series. Not only that, each of those engines can't be thrown 1000 EPs at. They'll just stop working altogether. In TS3's case, it'll turn to crap after 3 expansions!
And they started on The Sims 6 two years ago I guess...
and I thought they just recycled expansion pack ideas, though they did come up with a very few new ideas over the past 5 years, maybe they might have at least one, or half of one for this game

So after all EPs it is still a good game with a lot of loyalists enjoying it?

Thank you @MDianaSanders for halloween-fying Golluma
I -love- the Sims 3, but I don't own every single EP, and I do NOT bother with store and SP content.
I have all the expansions UP TO Seasons. I did not care for Showtime and could have done without it. I would have bought University, though, had Sims 4 not been around the corner.
My S3 game runs just fine, does not crash and does not lag after the initial loading screen.
It will be a sad day to see the series end but the way it seems now TS3 is the last 'big' Sims game we might actually have
