If GP4 releases during winter 2017, could GP5 be released during summer/fall 2017?

I wonder if the almost confirmed vampires GP will be released next month or February-April 2017, could we get another game pack later next year as well? If we will, I would be 100% fine with only 1 EP next year 
2 GPs a year would be perfect! If GP5 will be a new vacation destination (for example a tropical vacation one), I know many Simmers would be excited! Oh, and I hope EP4 will be another widely requested theme (like generations, seasons, pets or something else much requested). 
What do you think?

For the themes, I don't know, there are so many they could do for GP5 ! A new vacation destination would be great indeed.
I agree it's safe to assume GP4 will be around vampires, too many things point to it
My logic of that is that worlds seem to be an undertaking for the art department so I would assume that the swamp world for the Vamp pack and the world provided in the next EP (I'm making the assumption that Pets, University, and Seasons would arrive with their own worlds), that they would only create one or two worlds a year tops. Unless the next EP is Generations (which I highly doubt), I think it's highly unlikely we'll be getting another destination GP this coming year.
Of course, who knows! I suppose we'll have to wait and see.
Yes.
Outdoor Retreat and Spa Day were only 6 months away.
This is also my guess as to why the Club system is broken because based on the leaks it sounds like vampires will be able to gain points that they can spend on perks and powers. Most likely these points are earned by performing vampire related activities similar to how club points are earned by completing selected club activities. We may even be able to make vampire clans which is why club members are broken.
Spa Day and Dine Out are among the finest DLC for Sims 4 IMO. I hope future GP's keep with that.
Or it could be more like the current Aspiration Points system, where you earn points for completing aspiration goals and random whims, then use those points on additional traits and potions.
If GP04 does release in the last quarter of the fiscal year (Jan-Mar), we could see another GP in late summer. For me the ideal schedule of releases each year would be 1 EP, 2 GP, 4 SP and the rest of the year assorted challenges and free content. So, if we also get toddlers before the end of March in a free update, GP05 could potentially be a family-themed GP.

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.
I feel like it being based on the club system would make more sense just because of the fact that this patch broke clubs and not just member party of it but point earning as well.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Either way though it sounds interesting.
But with not everyone having the club system in their game (not everyone has GT), I'm not sure if they want to expand that system beyond GT since it was such a key part of that EP.

Yeah they are actually better than the EPs and the features seem to work as they should instead of how the EPs supposedly were supposed to work. I would like three GPs a year if they keep the focus on the gameplay and don't refer back to OR and it's empty vacation.
Another way of looking at it is how in ts3 werewolves could form packs. My thinking is that it would be similar but more detailed and for vampires instead. It wouldn't be as open and customizable as clubs but it would gives players who don't own GT the ability to still form more advanced groups at least for their vampires. We may even even be able to form rivalries/alliances with other clans.
We might not even be able to make are own clans at least not at the start. When your sims becomes a vampire they can join a clan (probably just one that turned them) and then they can work their way up to the the position of head vampire, once they have gain enough power they could create their own and start turning other sims to grow their clan or even try to join another clan.
:EDIT: To add, I can see clans being constant. As in you must always follow clan rules. One clan my have to rule of never feeding on other sim's and another may have the the rule that you have to. Another rule could be that you can't befriend nonvampires or romance them. In order to stay in your clan you would have to follow the rules no matter what. If you don't like this you have the option to leave your clan but being a part of one could give you perks that could make it worth it.
Also you can only be a part of one clan.
Remember OR was the first GP -- it was a new concept for the franchise. It would be like comparing an Edsel from the 1950s to a current model car. When you look at it that way, it's not so bad. And I've modified some of the lots to include easels so I can send my painters on an artist's retreat; I also added a spa and a restaurant (back before they took out that capability but I've got a mod that restores it) so it makes a nice little honeymoon retreat for my newlywed Sims.
