Is Bonehilda back?
Description (Thanks to Cheesecaeks):
"A delightful dinner party at the Mayor's house took a frightful twist when his murder plunged the evening into utter chaos.
Venture to the sleepy countryside village of Worcesterbury and uncover what skeletons hide in the Worcester family closet to reveal who is behind the murder of the Mayor in the Sims 4 Murder at the Manor Expansion Pack. Enlist the help of a private investigator Prunella P. Plumbobs and sleuth the grounds of the Worcesterbury Estate to gather evidence in piecing together the puzzle of this thrilling murder mystery!
In a race against time, rifle through drawers and search under furniture to track down the murder weapons and interrogate the guests and house staff to assess their alibis. But beware! As the night unravels, more and more Sims are in danger of becoming the killer's next victims, and you never know who, when, or where they'll strike next...
EDIT UPDATE!:
IT IS FAKE, CONFIRMED BY THE TWITTER ACCOUNT.

It does fit with the theme of trying new things for 2020.
The same retailer leaked another EA game on early august:

New world featuring 4 manors and one empty lot.
Sims can be invited to, or ask to attend, or hold a posh masquerade party event (featuring fancy new clothes) at these mansions (featuring fancy new furniture). The clothing is all masquerade ball stuff, but the furniture is mostly extravagant nonsense, not themed furniture sets for a fancy mansion. The scuba tank and Skydiving Machine from Sims Superstar, for example. The rest is all extravagant decor or stupid stuff like a platinum plumbob chandelier or a giant crystal llama or a Throne made of roses called "Every Rose Has Its Throne" or something silly.
The heft of the game pack comes from how in the early stages of the party, someone is...well, murdered. From here, you essentially enter into a game of Clue. You know the murder didn't take place in the room you were in. You know the murder didn't take place with an item that was in that room. And you know that the murderer wasn't someone who was in the room with you.
From there, Sims (NPCs and player alike) go around the house trying to figure out who the murderer was.
The pack includes multiple new death types. Things like "death from poison" or "death from giant indoor scuba tank" (a staple of any modern mansion) or "death from plumbob chandelier", which play into the game. The murdered sim immediately shows up as a ghost of their murdered death type and demands justice, which amuses the reaper, so he agrees to bring them back. Sometimes it'd be possible for the death to be entirely accidental (especially if the death is from the chandelier), and if you deduce properly, the ghost gets revived and then re-dies of embarassment.
It could feature some series staple NPCs like Ms. Crumplebottom! Mr. and Mrs. Crumplebottom hold an event, and Mr. Crumplebottom is killed by a chandelier, just like in the other games...wow! That'd be so cool.
I'm not sure how big of an appeal this would have but it's just an idea

They said they've been working on this pack for at least a year... so who knows. Another pack that sounds like a one-time playthrough. (If it's true)
but i posted this on reddit in response to this:
i don't think this is real until there's something more substantial than this. but i actually remember the sim gurus talking on twitter about this, it was not a serious discussion on twitter but the murder mystery idea was thrown out there.
also that said: i actually wouldn't mind this if this is an actual leak. if its based on Clue (if no one knows that reference: Clue had multiple theatrical versions upon release. a person could see the movie in one theater with one ending, while another person could see another ending.) then they probably listened to the criticism to Strangerville and there will be multiple endings.
Looks fake to me.
1 the logo
2 the description (features names, mechanic and enough stuff to be a expansion pack)
3 the remake of the website ui
4 the name

it is a lot of work for a potential fake but...we've been burned before with country living. and the guy who did post it seems to be more into soccer and has an older account so im not sure if they would have any interest in trolling the sims community.
idk its a very elaborate fake if they did bother to do this but you never know the length some people will go to watch people loose their 🐸🐸🐸🐸 online.
Maybe someone was really bored? To me it doesn't look like an EP and that alone makes me think it's fake.

There would be a conflict in pack name that is too close to this too:

Just because it's a lot of work doesn't mean it's not fake. A lot of people put a lot of work into making official looking assets for CC packs. Doing the same for a fake pack wouldn't surprise me at all.
I mean, a Murder Mystery is right up my alley, but I don't see this happening any time soon - or at all.
