How many more game packs are we going to get?

elelunicy · March 2018

With Jungle Adventure behind us we now have 6 game packs for TS4

How many more game packs do you think we are going to get? What do you want these last game packs to be?

4

I selected 4. Another this year. 2 in 2019. 1 in 2020.
University
Hobbies
Witches
Another vacation destination

11-15

I reckon;

10 EP's.
20 GP's
40 SP's.

I just have this weird hunch, only because I read on Twitter or something that these were the placeholder numbers used for the main menu icons slots (I know it was defs 10 EPs and 20GPs, can't remember if it was 30 or 40 SPs)

They could be there as just maximum possible.

More than 15

Always set the bar high is what I like to say

Unsure if TS4 will last that long though.

Hermitgirl · March 2018

11-15

I'm thinking more supernaturals (2 or more), vacations (3 or more), Romance based, Car based, Small Pets if not squeezed into SP's, Farm based, Hobbies based (could be a bunch)

I'm hoping 15 plus with the amount they put into the current packs.

I hope this many at the least, I'm enjoying my game so far and it keeps getting better too so I'm not really ready or keen to say farewell just yet!

I voted 15 because why not? But I would to at least get 3 more: Magic, seasons and university! But if there is more to come it's welcomed!

I want all 3 of those to be EPs tbh. Seasons and University have always been EPs, and Magic can be a remake of Makin' Magic instead of a life state GP just about witches.

The main menu doesn't use any placeholder slots

The data for each pack's icon is held in an array like structure and it can be of any length. Since it's designed to show any arbitrary number of icons from the beginning, placeholder slots don't make any sense.

For instance I made it to show 12 EPs and it worked without any problems.

I'd say 5.

2 or 3. I expect TS5 to be announced this summer and then released in the second half of 2019. So at least one more in 2018 and also at least one more in the first half of 2019. I also expect the last EP to be released later in 2018 though.

According to https://simsvip.com/2018/01/18/sims-4-consoles-complete-list-dlc-release-dates/ it also seems that EA will be able to release almost everything for the console game before TS4’s era is over.

Cheekybits · March 2018

I’d say 2 more EPs and about 6 more game packs

keylimepiesims · March 2018

5 more I think, one this summer, two next year and two the following year.

What I’d like to see, a tropical vacation, romance, hobbies, another supernatural pack, and maybe another vacation destination!

Todiloo · March 2018

I think about 4. I would like to see a pet gp (birds, rodents, snakes, lizzards), one with more skills and hobbies, on with magic theme and I would love to have a GP that specialized on the elders, maybe with some hobby and vacation place, and I miss the canes from sims 3 university

Well one of the gurus near the launch of Cats and Dogs said that they hope players will view the launch of Cats and Dogs as the end of the first wave of content, and I can only realistically see one more wave of content, so considering there was five game packs in the first wave then I suspect five more

Cinebar · March 2018

I said one because that is usually what has happened, two a year so maybe another one for 2018 and I'm not sure TS4 continues into the full year of 2019. ETA: I would like to see those players who want werewolves get that pack.

Anytime a poll like this comes up, I always pick the largest/longest amount. It amuses me to no end what would happen around here if we actually got there.

I’m glad this isn’t a space where people actively try to gather data. Responses like this are just sad, are you that obsessed with people arguing with each other?

I presume LD and JA are just the start of the second wave, so we have a good while to go hopefully.

Oh I legit want the game to continue on as long as it's reasonable to do so. We're at 6 packs now. If we get 9 more (or beyond) I'm fine with that. I enjoy the game as it is and am in no hurry to see it end.

Doesn't mean I don't get enjoyment from the idea though. Gurus have said not to expect to see patterns in development like has been done in the past, and that they're hoping for a longer shelf life for this game, and people here are quick to ignore all that so I'm curious to see what happens if that all comes true.

Evilyn_1007 · March 2018

I at least 5 more GP.

University
Tropical Vacation
Supernatural (witch maybe)
Farming/off grid GP ( though I can see this being a EP if they included horses)
Hobbies (might be too big for GP)
Romance
Cars/Transportation

That's more than 5 but those are themes I think they might explore in a GP.

I'd like it to go on for a very long time. The packs have been getting better each time and don't see any reason why it can't continue and be the longest running sims we've seen.

I know many other won't agree but we have plenty of sims versions to choose from now might aswell add to the currant one instead if moving on to another base game again.

I'm hoping they'll explore some fresh new ideas along with loved previous ones. That farm idea sounds so good

So yeah.. fingers crossed for more than 15 game packs lol

I don’t think everyone is quick to ignore that. I think a lot of people latch onto that with extremely high hopes of what that would entail. More than 15 GP at a rate of ~2 per FY, that’s over 7 years not counting the 3.5 the game has already been on the market. Do you really think a Sims game could survive for 10+ years? Even with the smaller size of packs now they still add a lot of stuff over the course of a year. I’d imagine once it gets too big they will start fresh, but that determination is 100% behind the scenes. They will tell us to buy Sims 4 until the day it’s sequel comes out, and they will make content right up until it’s eventual release just like Sims 3.
