I have read some forum posts, even some articles of dubious quality mentioning the rumors spreading around the forums as evidence, and have seen plenty of the speculation here and there. Unfortunately, I cannot trace it back to a source, getting bogged down in all the discussions of what people would want from such a game pack.
So... Why exactly are so many people assuming this one? I haven't heard of a leak or anything else, but this one has seemed to spread like wildfire.

We are getting a custom French World by Nando at the end of the month.

Because that was what was rumored. A paris related content...
But as Duvelina said already it is fake.
Basically a Simmer, has personal problems with the Sims tea Twitter account and wanted to bait them in order to 'expose' them.
- The Sims Tea twitter account leaked the content in the pre eco lifestyle patch early (and 100% correct, so the community put a lot of trust in that account because of that) so he wanted to see if they were going to take his fake created pack renders and photoshopped Origin features page and post about it.
The pack he faked was a hobbies centered game pack with a French inspired world and it also mentioned cars.
The Sims Tea Twitter account took the bait and started posting, and thus said simmer felt really amazing to expose them and fool the community while saying it's not him being toxic at all.
As usual the tweets got deleted already and now he is making a Paris mod.
That's the whole story.

Wow, I hope no one downloads this mod, he sounds like a loser. People really need to get their priorities straight.
Sounds to me like a lesson should be learned about believing rumors that have no basis.
HOWEVER, I love the whole hobbies aspect of this fake! That is the part I wanted to be true. A pack that brings back a deepened hobby enthusiasm system back and a handful of varying hobbies and skills for our sims to partake in would be grand!
It sounds like all this thing was made to get attention to his mod
And in the other side, the sims tea twitter account revealed itself too.
Yeah, I don't think either one came out of this looking very good.
Though I am sad we won't get the American Werewolf in Paris pack...
I mean maybe one day it will come and someone in the studio will be inspired by it. Love story and romance features in a Paris world where Werewolves are smashing every romantic relationships that they see? I say bring it on Sims Team!

Wow, glad I didn't care. This is so typical these days.
This is funny, blame the ones who took the bait, and not the one who did the baiting. I think I might feel differently about it.

I mean he doesn't seem like a good person but sims is just a game, nothing bad happened to anybody, there were no money involved or really anything important. It's a good lesson to learn and a good field for it especially since like I said nobody got hurt exept for the person who spread non confirmed information without fact checking. But I don't believe their career got ruined or anything like it, they propably also learned a good lesson.
I don't understand the outrage.
Damaged his reputation how? People still love his work and look forward to new projects...
