Yes I know the Sims 4 is a "service game" but the Sims 5 is as inevitable as me ordering pizza at 1am (this happens more then I care to admit) and with 30 packs to its name I suspect an upper limit exists for the Sims 4 - regardless of what they officially tweet.
Love it or hate it, the Sims 4 also has its limitations and there's only so much they can add within its current structural "confines" of design. Only so many "fresh" ideas that can sell packs, with the bigger releases (more or less) behind the Sims 4.
With University as the next expansion more or less unofficially confirmed for Nov 15, I personally suspect we will see 2-3 more packs after that.
One between Feb-Mar (probably a stuff pack) and a gamepack for Spring (Apr-May) and perhaps a final expansion pack in July/August.
After that I suspect the Sims 5 will be announced for the fall.
I could also be totally wrong, they could have packs planned out until 2022 too, especially if packs are selling at a steady rate. Not outside of the realm of possibility based on previous EA investor calls (which stated as much publicly).
There's also the possibility of delaying the Sims 5 until early 2021 to launch alongside PS5/next gen consoles AND/OR simply to get the Sims 5 release "done right" based on the rocky launch of the Sims 4. In which case I'd suspect a March 2021 release.
Regardless the Sims 5 is coming eventually, even if its 5 years from now or 2, so how many more packs do you think we'll see for the Sims 4?
How many more packs before Sims 5? 188 votes

They have not said anything about TS5. Don't hold your breath.

i honestly don't know the point of releasing so many packs. lately it feels like there's been dozens of them popping up
also i kinda hope the sims 5 isn't for a long time because what's the rush?
EA is, first and foremost, a business, so they are going to think like one. I honestly don't think they will care if the game gets bogged down in the end, look what they did with Sims 3. They left that game a coughing, struggling, buggy, crashing disaster in the end. I'm pretty sure they'll keep loading up Sims 4 until they can't anymore.
I couldn't agree more, but they have EA breathing behind their necks to keep pushing new dlcs over bug fix that will not directly generate money for them.
I can think of loads they'd add haha. Some I'm not interested in but I think they'll do anyway
Generations
Farming
Amusement park
Olympics
Skiing
Several more occult (werewolves, faeries etc etc)
Stuff packs like wedding stuff, teen stuff, several decades stuff like 20s stuff etc, tech pack, outdoor toy pack etc
World adventures
Hotels
Time travel pack
I hope they don't decide to do all of that, because this game is already mega buggy. Imagine with all of that.
Well yeah but it'd be dlc not patches. So you wouldn't need to buy it if you are worried about it bugging your game. It's nice for ppl that want them to have options though. Myself I'd love the world adventures but would pass on occults
