    I read some people complaining here and there that this year we would only have one EP, one GP and 2 SP. And, honestly, I'm not following this... I don't know where everyone saw that, maybe I got lost with this information. Does anyone know if this is true? Can you guys link something about it for me to read? Like a tweet or blog post...

      People just say this because of the roadmap. They think it was for the rest of the year, but it was for the next six months (at the time the team shared). The roadmap would be to October. I’m sure we will still get an expansion pack in November!

      We have got two a year for the past while and the roadmap ends in October, so we could still get the usual November expansion pack.

      The same thing happened last year. There was a roadmap with 3 packs (IL, MS and RoM) and still we got DU in the end of the year. I think it will work the same way this year. Maybe it's their new pattern:

      One GP/SP in january/february (Strangerville - 2019) (Tiny Living - 2020)
      An EP a SP and a GP scattered through the middle of year (Island Living, Moschino, Realm of Magic - 2019) (Eco Lifestyle, Knitting Stuff and (?) GP - 2020)

      An EP in november/december (Discover University - 2019) (? - 2020).

      probably the roadmap confusing them, it was only for 6 months. so not including november and december, we always get another EP for holiday sales.

      Doubtful that they'll give up the prime winter slot for an EP.

      If they were to only do one EP per year, it would be out in November/December. Then again, I might be wrong because we don't know the plan past September. The pre-Xmas one might end up being a GP (but highly unlikely an SP)

      Yep, I'm guessing there will be another released in the winter too. There's no reason to think otherwise
    • ladybugjosie23ladybugjosie23 Posts: 166 Member
      it is unlikely there wont be one in november, or if corona push their time maybe pushed to early december/mid december, but before christmas, it is too big a market to not put on out for christmas time and get the money there comes with that...

      They’ve been doing the two EP a year since 2018, I think they should continue with that trend in my opinion.

      Actually harvest time would be a great time for a Farming pack.

      But if the EP is released in June count forward and the three pack announcement covers six months which gets us up to month Dec. June-Nov. I'm not sure there will be another EP in 2020.

      Harvest time is usually September and that seems too early for an EP. It appears that they have always released an EP in November, probably to coincide with the Christmas shopping. I'll be happy if they release an EP in November even tough it may or may not be farming related.

      April post -> Six next months, it's enough explicit. Or they would have announced "The Sims 4 Line Up for 2020"

      In April 2019, it was the same thing.
      SimGuruGraham also confirmed the count began in April.

      Keep in mind EA think in term of quarters

      Q1 April, May, June
      Q2 July, August, September
      Q3 October, November, December
      Q4 January, February, March

      Will the knitting pack count as the new Stuff Pack or is that not coming out until next year sometime?

      it'll be the new stuff pack. It's only the game one we don't know about yet, and then whatever EP prob comes out in the winter

      I reckon that we'll be getting another EP towards the end of the year. Perhaps, Nov/Dec.

      It will be interesting if it's going to be the next SP because we can actually estimate the period that they took to develop a SP. That also probably the reason why they pushed the EL to June, so that they could actually release the SP soon after, probably Aug?.

      Else, if it's no the next SP, I want to be surprised. TBH, I'm intrigued to know the next GP.

      I am quite convinced it's gonna be some sort of Winter Retreat GP..which I will disappointed ;-;, if thats the case 2020 was not a good year for me for the sims.

      Yes, it count as SP17

      We are currently hard at work on the new Community Voted Stuff Pack. I know, of course we are…. I can’t tell you its name, because we have not voted on that yet, but I saw the list of options last week, and I have no idea which one you all will choose. I’m anxious to find out. That pack is really coming together and it has been great having all of your input to help shape it.
      In addition to the Stuff Pack, we are also hard at work on our next Expansion Pack. I’m super excited about the theme the team has chosen—I think it will be a surprise to many of you. The team has also been hard at work on some new surprise additions we plan to bring to the game over the summer. They are not massive changes, but they are pretty cool ones that I think you will have a ton of fun with. Another group on our team is currently focused on our next Game Pack. This pack is a major first for us, and we are super eager to share it with all of you later this year.

      I highly think we'll get the actual Farming EP around November when the second EP usually releases or so. Mostly because Eco Lifestyle focus on other things and doesn't seem to care much for actual crop farming and animal husbandry.
