Last EP was in November 2016 and announced 2 months prior, yes? So an announcement means 2-3 months of waiting for the release. Well, it's almost March and that's 3 months with no EP announcement which means that if it takes 2-3 months for release then (assuming we have to wait 6 months for a new EP) do you guys think we'll hear an announce next month or in April?
I hear we'll be getting Pets, yes
I am seriously hoping that we get 2 EPs this year, but assuming that we only get 1 then Pets is definitely the way to go!
When do you guys think the next EP announcement will be?

City living was released a month and a half after the announcement. I assume we can expect next EP to be released a month and a half after its announcement as well.
Now I have a feeling it may be released in late May which would set an announcement date to late March - early April.
Ps: EPs take about a year to make, but it's been said that they are working on multiple things simultaneously. There's a high chance that they've been working on City living, pets and maybe something else at the same time.
Pets and we'll first see it in the April Quarterly Teaser.
My Mood:
Pets are one of the core EP's of the Sims franchise and it needs a great development time (more than GTW or CL type of packs). Probably they were already working on it for a long time. So expecting 2 EP's this year makes sense, Pets in June and something else (seasons ) in December maybe?
I hope seasons drops in Oct or Nov.
Get To Work - Announced 4th February 2015, Released March 31st 2015
Get Together - Announced 5th August 2015, Released December 8th 2015
City Living - Announced 13th September 2015, Released November 1st 2016
The average time between the announcement and release of an expansion pack is about 2 months. Get Together definitely took a lot longer. So after the release of the bowling pack the quarterly teaser for April May and June (quarter 2) would probably drop at the start of April, so the earliest we could see Pets is late may or early June
Which would be only 6 or 7 months after the previous EP, when the spread we've been seeing has been 8 months and 11 months. I just don't see it. And I think that people who expect this EP to be only 6 months after the previous one because there's some code there are going to be disappointed. We saw toddler-related code ages and ages ahead of actual toddlers, didn't we?
Then, after that, I'll be happy as a clam...no more comlaints from me!
(And yet, I have this odd feeling that by the time they get to fulfulling my wish list, they'll announce Sims 5, and all this complaining will start all over again!)

Not sure...Can you refresh my memory? Was ths an EP for Sms 3? Since I didn't play Sims 3, could you please describe this one to me? Thanks!

Sure !
So the generations ep brought more "real life" aspects to the game. Midlife crisis. moody teenagers. scrapbook. romantic reputation "tracker", family events, school dances/prom/ after school activities, more elder interactions, more family interactions, teenager chores and punishment, parents could go on vacation and leave teens alone, teen pranking was an actual activity and not a "rabbit hole" activity, Bunk Beds, Spiral Stairs, teaching teen how to drive, Bachelor/bachelorette party...I would like for them to add funerals, baby showers, FAMILY REUNIONS, Roommates, owning a vacation home or more than one house...a few worlds...
Being able to let you NPC family members live on your lots...so you could have like a family trailer park...and we need more story progression...I would like for NPC to go and make babies, get married without me (toggle option of course).

Lol...not to pester you...if you like it, can you hit the like button for me. I need more points so that I can become a member and post pics and links lol. I only have like 20 pts and I think we need 50? something like that...
Same here. I don't think it'll be a year like last time.
I agree with this^^
Pets may be the next EP, but I don't see it coming until the end of the year. They are going to want to make use of the holiday shopping season.
I don't know I think we'll see it in May or June. For one toddlers are done so they probebly will have more Gurus working on the expansion now. Also a lot of the gurus have said this is going to be an awesome year for The Sims 4 so that leads me to believe that we will be getting more packs this year. I hope Pets does come in May or June so we have a shot at Seasons this Fall. I want two expansions and two gamepacks this year.
Vampires came out 7 months after Dine Out so there is a chance we could get Gamepack 5 by July or August. If were not getting another expansion till Fall and I'm wrong I hope they pump out more stuffpacks and more free content in patches.
