I feel like they're neglecting fantasy players a bit in terms of permanent life states
The only decent one we got are vampires but aliens are a joke and I thought skeletons would be a permanent life state but nope just some stupid effect and plant sims aren't even plant sims they're just green sims with short hair that do a stupid idle animation
either way I do hope we get a lot of gameplay packs and a good expansion this year
I feel like most of it will be console and mobile. The Sims on console was the worst experience ever, so now whenever I hear about a release for console I'm annoyed, lol.
Well, I don't expect new pack in April and May because no 32-bit pack will be released before June and TS4 Legacy Edition.
There is no reason to sell a 64-bit pack before the "64-bit only" restriction patch.
Then it will remains 10 months for 20 content drops...
Stuff packs should be banned. Improved gameplay should be a requirement in all packs. Mobile and console, really? They're watered down... Shouldn't be.
I want to play ALL the premade families! One day...
If they are counting each version (PC, console and mobile) as separate packs that's (possibly) two for PC, two for console and two for mobile. That six already and if we get a patch per month (12 each) that's 36. 36 plus 6 is 42 which sounds like a lot more than 20. So will we be getting less next year?

As a "builder", I really like stuff packs. They give me more stuff to decorate and dress sims with. They come with as much stuff as sims 3 stuff packs for half the price and come with a few gameplay objects.
I just dont know which way EA is heading . They advertise for staff for a new simulation game , which most people thought meant Sims 5 . Then now they announce they are laying hundreds off , Why not transfer the ones they already have to this new game , or are they saying that the staff they already have are not good enough . I just wish they would actually put their efforts into really making a pack that's filled with gameplay and useable objects and interactions and drop this fetish they have in minor celebrities and branded tie ins .

Could be a salary thing. They can offer a new person less money easier than they can demote someone they already have.

They laid off people in publishing, marketing, and operations. These people arenβt developers and they donβt make video games.
As they always told us The Sims 4 is a live service.
A service gets a longer lifecycle than a game, at least as long there are enough people who invest money in it.
I tend to call it a "Fan service", a game supported by fans.

If they are going to release a disaster pack 'soon' then I might reinstall. I wanted military forever, so maybe I will get this next GP.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionOr maybe better than you thought because this means we're getting two stuff packs in the next fiscal year
Same honestly

The Sims 4 General DiscussionThat's nice wishful thinking there.
I don't think they will release nearly as many SP's as you listed.
Also the 20 content drops was for all platforms, not only for Sims 4 PC.
Somehow people keep pulling that out of context.
