So, I am not in for anything like that (I am still crossing my fingers for other contents) but since the Batuu GP I started noticing that those in the EA GameChanger program (and even a lot of other creators with a huge following) create contents that suggest what will be up next in a subtle way.
In the Generations case, for example, I see a lot of contents about it being delivered by a lot now.
Let's start with PLUMBELLA: she created two videos about how sims 3 generations was amazing and how much she wants it back.
First video was uploaded 11 months ago and second video just a week ago.
I KNOW - she loves ts3. But follow me into the next step.
LILSIMSIE made a lot of family contents lately:
- on january 1st she posted a video with a wishlist of all the things she wants for ts4; it is ALL about generations; just this, nothing more than a generations pack;
- various new vids are about buildind mansions for families (with a lot of babies too) and some on how fast they grow or how much does it cost to raise a baby;
DELIGRACY too is building MANSIONS.
It is like everybody likes mansions lately!
Last, MSGRYPHI just built a large Tudor family home and a family cottage.
I researched more and more before coming up with this and A LOT of creators are delivering starter home for families or family related contents.
What do you think about it?

Generations was a cool pack, hope we get one for TS4. Though I do wish EA would stop listening only to Gamechangers. If they bring something up, they decide it is a problem and listen to them, they need to spend more time on the forums and see what we want here, not just listen to them🙄
Yes! Like more moustaches!! Please.
But I tend to build Victorian manor houses, complete with former staff areas "downstairs" Granted, I'm not a gamechanger. But I think that's a stretch.
I've looked at what was in TS3 Generations, and I think it's far more likely we're getting a School pack to expand upon Child and Teen lifestages which will cover the bulk of what was in Generations that we don't have so far. (There are still adult and elder elements missing, those might come in stuff packs or a future Game pack.)
But then, other than the financial benefit of having it all in one pack, I don't get why people want Generations to be specifically "Generations for Sims 3 exported exactly for Sims 4" 1) there are several systems that TS3 Generations added for that game that are already in TS4 (dating, I believe being one example). 2) I think there's more potential gameplay development if they split it between packs (See Vampires)
Or atleast I hope they're not expecting a ts3 replica 😅😅 I agree about splitting it though! And I'm hoping for that school pack.

As for babies, I would hope that they come in a free patch with some of these items
Also, on a side note, I would love it if parents could also tuck in their teens. or at least have a special interaction with them when saying goodnight.
You should add photobooths and pillow fighting to that list. Slow dancing might come with a Generations Pack as well.
I didn't want it to appear like a link between the two things, yet mansions built by those creators are made for big families, so I made this connection

Also, more things to be added as well
That's my biggest fear too, that people are expecting a TS4 Generations pack to include the majority of what was included in TS3 and I just don't think that will ever happen. I think some people are bound to be disappointed when they've waited all this time for a "Generations" pack and it turns out to only have a handful of things they're expecting (and it will more than likely be the easiest and cheapest things to implement and not much more).
While I do want a Generations type pack so there's more activities for life stages besides just young adult and adult, I've set my expectations to very low.
If they have a generations pack I really want to see activities for Teens, children, toddlers and elders,,and even babies. Kids should have bikes, toddlers trikes and ride on toys, teens and kids should have skateboards, and razors. And I know we have roller skating rinks, but why not outdoor skates for kids to skate around their neighborhood? Elders need some activities too, how about bingo, and shuffle board or croquet, canes, and walkers, and a few more older styled clothes, more children and toddler clothes, and some hip clothes for teens, maybe some goth stuff thrown in. Several different types of arcade games would be great to add for children on up too, and how about being able to make our own skatepark for children and teens? Some young adults may even like that. And shouldn’t we be able to have family pictures taken by this time? Maybe a photo booth too. How about a sewing machine with patterns for babies through elder. I’d like to have games we can put on the shelf take out and place on tables to play, things like monopoly, or operation, or the game of life, for ages children through elder. Toddlers could use a few more toys too, and be able to play some of them with children, why can’t my toddler carry around a stuffed animal or doll? I’d like to see volleyball come back for 2-8 sims. Sims 2 had a great volleyball game. And I want to see my professional baseball player be able to toss a baseball to his son or daughter and play catch with a mitt ( would love to be able to put a clutter mitt and baseball on a shelf too ). Babies should have a crib, changing table, blanket to lay on placed in or outdoors, be able to be laid down on a sofa,or love seat, learn to turn over and make sounds other than crying. Have a swing, a baby carrier/seat, have a packable crib, should be able to be put in a snuggly on a teen through elder. Have a bouncer. Toddlers and babies should be able to be placed in a stroller and strolled around the neighborhood, or taken off to a park, store or vacation lot. Ohh, and children should be able to play tag, cops and robbers and things like that with Each other, it would be nice to have few a outdoor kids games too like 4 square and hopscotch too.
Well that’s all I can think of for now.
As someone else has already said parenthood is not generations and as far as toddler stuff it barely came with any toddler content aside from CAS and the play equipment. Kids room stuff is just kid room stuff.

Idk about you guys, but these “memories” seem to be preeeetttyyy solid to me. Not to mention everything else he explained. Also, generations may be the one thing I am actually optimistic about 🐸🐸🐸🐸
now that we are getting bunk beds too I REALLY think Generations might be the next big thing
Even if that "country kitchen kit" leak made me think about Country pack and farm...
