I believe Seasons and Pets are the hardest EPs to make, so if they were able to make Seasons so soon after Cats & Dogs, I think they would be able to make another EP (maybe University, which doesn't seem so hard) at the end of the year. Besides, I don't think they would miss the opportunity of selling a new expansion during Christmas sales.
Unless they’ve expanded and put together a second EP team, then I don’t think they have the stamina to make another EP in time for later this year.
I’m not even sure how they made seasons in seamingly less than a year (it’s only been 7-8 months since C&D).
Multiple EPs are always being made at the same time, even if they only have one EP team. You can’t tell how long it took them to make an EP just from the release date. They certainly started Seasons at least a year ago, given the fact that even a stuff pack takes almost a year to make.
I wouldn't be surprised if they've been working on Cats & Dogs and Seasons since the game's first year and now that the powerhouses are out, I think there's a good chance for a School or Magic themed EP, they always listen and those two have been heavily requested.
Live your life to the fullest, don't wait for a miracle to happen, be the miracle to make things happen.

I think another one coming out at the end of this year might be a stretch. Could be one come out around March/April next year. It does seem weird to suddenly switch it up when it's been November release for since Sims 4 began. I guess it also depends on what the next EP is, it might not need as much time as Seasons took to develop.
Seasons is a big expansion and its coming out very close from Cats and Dogs. If its anything like Get Together and Get To Work then expect it to not be as much of an expansion pack. EPs should have at least a year of development I fear Seasons may end up being a disaster.
I expect maybe 2 or 1 Stuff Pack let alone another Game Pack but that's it for 2018.
1. The Sims 2
2. The Sims 3
3. The Sims 4 (5 years later its decent)
4. The Sims 1

Like C&D, I think that the team has probably been working on Seasons for years, not months. Even so, I still doubt that we'll get a second EP for the year.
That's not to say that I wouldn't be thrilled if we did. I'm all for EA speeding up their releases. However, I sincerely doubt that it will happen. There's probably a GP set for a holiday release.
Now that Pets is out of the way anything is possible I could see a December release the hardest pack is done if they don't put something out in time for Christmas I'd be more surprised. I could see a pack like University that does not add much game play being rushed out say they had a team working on a world for it during Seasons since Seasons has no world.
Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"
No, I didn’t miss it. But where does it say that those are EPs for TS4? Maybe only one of them will ever be released and then it could be a GP for TS4 or maybe even some pack for TS5?

Grant specifically clarified later that the poll is for TS4 and not TS5.

I notice two things:
1. He said pack and not expansion pack. So we don’t know what kind of pack it will be.
2. “After some normal stuff” likely means after the packs they make in the rest of 2018 or just after one of those packs. So it could be some extra pack they will make while we wait for TS5 to be released.

I hope another one in the works, would love a ep that isn't slice of life
