Ok..... since it’s February, i’m Guessing we will get some kind of romance pack and combo vacation, either beach or alpine. I’m guessing for the sims anniversary we will get cars. Though it wouldn’t bother me at all if we get Witches and Magic!

When it comes to EP I believe the next one is University, but my guess is we won't see it before june.
About romance, I guess they will add a feature or two on the packs to come, but I don't think they will release an actual pack based on that, unless it's a stuff pack, like Romantic Garden (they could remake Master Suite Stuff or something like that).
Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
Actually, it'd be entirely possible to make an Alpine region without depending on Seasons' winter season to operate. All it would need is snow textures on the region (which would be permanent since it's a vacation zone). It doesn't need to actually snow to give us the feel of the Alpines, and it wouldn't be terribly hard to have a "winter" without any of the winter features if you don't own Seasons, and have an active winter if you do (similar to how if you don't own Seasons, the default season is summer without the summer features). All of the stuff you'd do there, like skiing, snowboarding, etc, would all be handled by items and zone features, so they wouldn't be dependent on having the winter from Seasons. It's very feasible to have an Alpine pack without Seasons.
That said, I don't think an Alpine region would differ THAT much from Granite falls, given that they're both wooded with evergreens, mountainous, and all that. About the only difference would be a lodge hotel to stay at, as opposed to a campsite or rental home, and of course the snowy activities as opposed to forest activities. I think the beach would be a more diverse vacation spot.
I do like the idea of a vacation pack but I'd hope that it would include swimming in the open world. It would also be nice to have some new romantic interactions like slow dancing together and I miss the woo hoo in the shower interaction, while I do want this to return to the game these aren't a priority for me.
Honestly I like most anything added to the game and would be fine with whatever came next. I just wish they'd tell us more or announce things sooner. It always seems like a long wait in between packs and the game can get boring waiting for new stuff or even just waiting for new information.
And big update in February I guess.
Maybe cars, maybe freed babys. I let me suprise me what it is.
I don't think witches will come (if ever) unless it's for a big Halloween reveal.
witches
university
another holiday pack
And also, back in October, one of the gurus posted on twitter, just before Get Famous launched, that GF would not contain cars, nor would they appear anytime in the near future. So on a production timeline, that'd mean probably the next 2-3 packs and/or patches would have no cars.

Oh yes cars would be perfect for the anniversary.
I don't see why they wouldn't do a romance pack. TS1 and 2 both had dating packs. A Stuffpack is too small for romance. We need a GP for that so we can get new animations and interactions.
Item descriptions and the lifestyle brands, they're subtle but they're there. And show up the new simlish on the sims community and there you will see that the new gp will be witches. And the vampires gp weren't announced either on halloween and they're released it january 2017.
TS1 and 2 had dating packs because there was no dating system on the base games. Sims 4 has. GPs add new content to the game, and as EA says, they always tell a story. I just don't see them doing a GP on something that already exists, just to enhance it. As dates and romance are things that were already included on base game, making a pack to improve it means people would have to pay for something that should be on the base game, wich could be controversial. All GPs released so far add new gameplay. Just interactions and animations aren't enough for a GP.
I also want more romantic interactions and such, but I think they can either add it through a free update, or add it in other packs. Like adding slow dancing with University and things like that. I just dont see a whole pack based on this. I could be wrong though.
- turn on’s / turn off’s or some other kind of chemistry system, just something that means Sims are a bit more picky! They also shouldn’t be able to marry someone they just met 2 minutes ago...
- The ability for sims to have a different romance bar to the other sim to pave the way for unrequited love, I think it would add a lot of gameplay value!
- The ability to have crushes on other sims (including a cute mechanic for kids);
- Romantic reputation which follows your sims around on the dating scene, linked in with more cheating repercussions. I liked it when you could be caught cheating because other sims saw you in the Sims 3!
Obviously I’d love it if they patched this in (they have patched some of these things in before) but I’m a realist... I think it would have to be a GP, and I’d love it.
