    Notice that pattern of less packs every year? x)

    Next year we will get 4 packs
    in 2020 - 3 packs
    2021 - 2 packs

    That's a nice way of stretching the game out for many years, yes.
    Looks like the ''the more years left, the more content! :D'' isn't exactly sure if they keep

    A ) creating bigger gaps between content
    B ) keep months without a patch going

    I can see what you are doing, EA.

    Well, if it means the Sims 5 won't be a hot incomplete mess, I'm all for it.

    Nice table btw :)

    Would be nice if a 2nd GP came out in December to round things out. Although with how things are going, that's probably not going to happen.

    Except that not all packs are created equal. We actually have $120 worth of packs this year, more than both 2016 and 2017.

    Also @LeGardePourpre 's table is a mess for those of us on mobile.

    Only 9 or 10 packs ? But the surveys proposed 21 themes and SimGuruGrant began to think about Farm theme.

    It's very interesting to see all the themes which could be released :
    1. Hobbies (Survey 1)
    2. Dream jobs (Survey 1, 5)
    3. University (Survey 1, 3, 5)
    4. Witches (Survey 1, 5)
    5. Winter world (Survey 1, 3, 5)
    6. Cars (Survey 1, 3)
    7. Summer vacation (Survey 1, 3, 5)
    8. Amusement park (Survey 1)
    9. Shipwrecked (Survey 1)
    10. Casino (Survey 1)
    11. Cruise ship (Survey 1)
    12. Superheroes (Survey 1, 3)
    13. Rock band (Survey 1)
    14. Fashion (Survey 1, 5)
    15. Real TV (Survey 3)
    16. Love (Survey 3, 5)
    17. Zombies (Survey 3)
    18. School (Survey 3)
    19. Home business (Survey 5)
    20. Fairies (Survey 5)
    21. Beauty salon (Survey 5)

    I believe either Love or a Beach Vacation will be the first pack of 2019.

    With the makeup chair in Get Famous, it might be possible to create your own beauty salon if you have the GTW retail system -- we'll have to see what sort of capabilities it has outside the movie studio. Or at the very least you could add it to a clothing shop perhaps. And some of the themes in that quoted box could be game packs or even stuff packs -- I could see a Casino Stuff Pack similar to Bowling Night where you can build a casino using an existing venue type like bar/nightlub/lounge, with slot machines and gaming tables (maybe with robotic dealers similar to the Sims 3 Store items).

    No more packs this year!
    "Years of content left" sure sounds amazing, until the reality of the no-pack-content quarter hits. Hmm, perhaps now that they get to double -- and perhaps even triple dip -- with the platforms of mobile and console perhaps the impetus for new content has been displaced by porting content for sale on other platforms.

    Since they have the some people doing the voice acting now I feel it won't be too long till we get an announcement of the next pack. Sims Community says a pack generally comes out 2 to 3 months after voice acting is announced.
