Roadmap, when will it be announced ?

Hi,

Guess which week the roadmap will be announced ?

No roadmap

My guess is that they won't give us a roadmap this year. Anyway they weren't that much informative... after 7 years there's some kind of a pattern on releases although it is broken here and there... just saying "there'll be a stuff pack, a game pack and an expansion pack out in the next 6 months" won't do much...

I wouldn't miss roadmaps that much. It's pretty clear what their schedule is by now, and also if they cannot even hint/comment on the theme of the upcoming releases, I don't really care.

Like, we know there is an EP/GP/SP coming. This year will probably be a carbon copy of last year in terms of 'traditional packs' (with the exception of the new 'Kits').

I personally don't see a reason for a roadmap, they have a pretty regular pattern of releases for the most part.

Now, if their roadmaps included actual hints at what was upcoming, then I'd be much more excited for it.

Normally they release around April 4th from what I've heard although one was announced in May and revealed Island Living and other packs coming out.

No roadmap

What they gave us last year hardly could be called a roadmap. Yet anyways I can hardly remember any PR practice for "more open communication" which lasts more than one year. So I do not expect anything.

In 2019, the roadmap was announced on April 9th

I am not looking forward to another 6 months on speculations based on the number of animals shown in the picture.

I'd actually think a roadmap would be great, IF the kits were included in there. With this whole new pack type, it'd be nice to know what we're looking forward to.

The quarterly teaser stopped after 2 years (2017 and 2018).
2 years later, it's possible that the roadmap is replaced by something else.

Inside Maxis already replace Maxis Monthly (2018 and 2019).

I have no idea if we’ll get one, but I hope by April 12- April 19 we will here something about the the next EP

No roadmap

Not sure if there will be a roadmap this year. Ive learned that the moment releases/news start forming a pattern, thats when the Sims team breaks that pattern to keep us on our toes.

IngeJones

No roadmap

A producer/manager has an idea, and sets about putting it into action. A year later there is a "reshuffle" and someone else is in charge, has an idea, and sets about putting it into action, obsoleting the previous idea. All probably quite good ideas but people don't stay in jobs for life any more.

No roadmap

Roadmaps have always been a bad idea and EA has never been good with them either so...best to not announce anything.

I would prefer to know that something is planned instead of discovering there is nothing 6 months later.

With COVID-19, maybe the studio isn't able to tell what will happen tomorrow.

Seems like a roadmap this year is still under consideration.

I miss road maps, but we are not going to get them for sims 4, I wish we would though!

I’d love if we could choose the set dressing for the houses we play change the set of houses, landmarks and landscaping that would be cool.

I’d also like if they expanded smaller towns, I hate the houses themselves but love the vibe of the Get Famous world and I’d like more sims to live there.

I think you’re thinking about something else entirely than what this thread is talking about. The road map in this thread is about the release calendar of upcoming packs provided by EA.
