    Source?

    there's no actual source to confirm it being a music-related pack, i just quoted something from EA's job posting and its asking for someone who has talent with instruments and vocals for an upcoming expansion:

    now that could be a lot of things and i just, off the top of my head, said it could be related to a band pack.

    jumping the gun with a thread like this over something in a job posting haha. but i hope that's it! would be cool.

    I agree, though I probably wouldn't use it very often.

    i think if there's enough instruments i could see it being used in every day play, like giving teens a drumset. and if they really wanna impress us bring in some instruments that have never been in a sims game before, like the flute, clarinet, trombone, saxophone, etc.

    would be kinda awesome to be able to have an orchestra in this game hahhahah, i mean i think it could handle that many sims at once

    I'm usually skeptical of translating job postings into hints at future packs, but mentioning instruments specifically... .
    I just want things to match. :'(

    No, I hate to burst your bubble, although I too would absolutely love a pack as you described, but each and every pack has new music of one kind or another. New music on the radio stations, and the tv, at least that's my guess.

    But how cool would it be if we did get a pack with music! WOW!! Completely and utterly FABULOUS!!!

    There are things in the game that I would rather have (farming animals, horses, generation and romantic activities, sustainability / eco living, a winter vacation etc) but I wouldn’t mind a pack based on music. I’m not sure I would buy it though.

    I forget the exact quote but a Guru once said once they start recording vocals the pack is about 3 months from being released so this would seem more so for the June expansion and not a game pack.
    Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"

    I think it was SimsCommunity that said that.

    I don't think this is for the usual Simlish vocals, since the job includes talent with instruments.

    Where did it say anything about instruments? I'm struggling to find that info.

    it doesn't just says: "• Music performance skills, vocals in particular"

    i just assumed talent with instruments since they're asking for music performance skills and not music editing skills

    Vocal is vocal, not instrumental though. And performance skills could be being the performer, or being the sound man, or being in a number of different roles. What the position sounds like to me, and I could be WAY off, is someone who is a music tech whose specialty is vocal music. Most of the things listed there are part of that skill set.

    Should have been provided with Get Famous. Once again simmers are getting scammed and no one sees it.

    that is why i said assumed, there's a lot that could mean.

    Depends how big a pack it'll be to me, and how long it'll take to come out.

    I think a music pack is a good guess, but could be anything really. I'm not interested in the theme my self but doesn't mean I won't get it, I'd have to see what is included. i end up liking most packs.

    It says the vocal position will be a 6-12month long job though, so Idon't think for this June it'd be done.. It does say the position is now closed.

    Right, I'm just not sure why you assumed that. It wasn't in what the job required, just that it would be nice to have. Also, they are asking for sound editing in the primary job description. It's clear it's about voice, about production, etc. Anyway, I really do hope the next EP is exactly what you want because it would be cool.

    I feel it should be broader performance pack rather than only music

    While this should've been in Get Famous, if it's a music pack, that would be something I'd actually purchase. Personally, I think the instruments and the singing in the game is very well done. I used to make my Sim grab the guitar and just listen to him sing and play for a while, exploring all the music. I just want bands, sax, drums, and electric guitar. If it's a pack that adds those, I'm actually pretty sold already.

    I'm also a sucker for music, being a musician myself.

    I'm not sure if it's really a hint for the next EP. We could look it in 2 different perspectives. They're growing, so they need more contract employees to assist with multiple packs in production (mainly audio) or they have a high turnover, hence, they prefer to hire contract staff than permanent.

    However, if this is a "thing", I hope that it's not limited to instrumental music only. It will be nice to have a Broadway, traditional/cultural instruments, music festival, etc.
