No teaser today! So disappointing.. Next week is the last chance or theres no major pack until June
Could be one over the next few weeks and it could still come out late may with the next patch cycle.
May is too close to an Expansion Pack. A GP needs to come in March cause that ends the fiscal year. They never release a GP in April.
catloverplayer Luxury Party was released on May 19, 2015 so it's totally possible...
The assumption is that we’d get an EP in June. Luxury Party didn't have an EP coming after it.
They’ve never released a TS4 pack less than 2 months before an EP release. A June EP means no packs in May. And they never release packs in April anyway so that’s two months without any packs.
At least we have kits now. If the late March patch isn’t a pre-GP patch, surely it’s a pre-kit patch at least.

Ok but what about Dine Out and Kids Room that where both released in the same month (June) in 2016? I've read somewhere that Dine Out was meant to be released in May, but postponed because they had problems with the pack...
What I'm trying to say is the fact that we're not sure if the pattern that we had in these years(2018-2020) will be the same this time, and kits are the proof of it.

Kids Room is a stuff pack, not an expansion pack. They would never have released Dine Out in early June if an expansion pack was coming in late June.
I agree that past patterns are not important. However, release windows are important. For smaller packs like stuff packs and kits, they can release them whenever they like - it doesn't matter. For bigger packs like expansion packs & game packs, they tend to stick to certain release windows. For example, if they plan to release 2 EPs in a year, one of the EPs would certainly release around November for the holiday season. Then the best time to release the other EP would be June.
Essentially, the best months of the year for them to release bigger packs are:
November (Holiday season)
June (last month of the fiscal quarter)
March (last month of the fiscal quarter)
September (last month of the fiscal quarter)
Sadly I think I'm just learning not to expect anything from them at all. Hopefully there'll be a nice expansion pack in June. Anything more than that is a bonus.

They could still announce Next Week up to the 16th.
Watch them releasing a "Teen Stuff" SP featuring bunk beds as the gameplay item lol
Listen... if they released a "Boarding School" GP that actually expanded the current school system and teens & children as lifestates (including Prom, more afterschool activities, slumber parties, etc.) with bunk beds as a gameplay item... I would eat that up Especially if they based it off of the school and cheer pack ideas from that survey a couple years ago.

This is where I am at. I think bunk beds are a sign of a pre-pack patch, and be it an GP or an EP I am looking forward to hearing what it is.

Maybe it will be Tomorrow with the Trailer on Tuesday like they did with Paranormal.

Luxury party was a stuff pack not a game pack

I'd hope so. I really need a GP right now.

So if they do release something soon it will be super out of schedule for them. They like schedules so I wouldn't bet on it.

I hope I'm wrong and there's a nice GP this month..

"Hype" isn't actually the word I'd use in relation to kits...
Normally they only hype their new releases for about 2 weeks anyway so no I don't.
I agree hype is not what they have though I like them
I love your optimism, catloverplayer. Thank you.
