    Real!
    I don't know... The Kinguin and G2A listings are just random merchants (regular folks,) who copied the fake descriptions provided by instant-gaming. So those can't be trusted. However, I do feel that a tropical pack is likely.

    That's not true, the prices are not adapted, at least where I live and the prices are just the same in the whole Europe.

    Games that sell on Origin get regional pricings, I paid less for games on Origin using SGD rather than USD, this is also true for Steam games.

    Never heard of that... In my country prices are the same as in usd, only converted to euros. And it's a poor country

    Here, Origin or Steam pricings are in euros and the same for whole Europe and we don't even use Euros in the Czech Republic. The regional pricings are only in some countries It seems.

    I'm tempted to say yes as well, mostly because Instant Gaming got it right about Pets before. We'll see.

    Absolutely Fake! Nobody ask for a tropical EP EA! All we want is lipstick stuff pack!

    Actually a Tropical Pack and a Farming Pack are tied for second place as most requested after University. I personally know people (even myself) who want an Island pack. It's okay to be mad if the pack coming isn't what you wanted, but don't ruin it for others by saying No one wanted it.

    Real.
    4 different retail leaks have to be true. They're all reporting a Tropical Pack.

    Technically, there are still only 2 leaks. The new ones are regular people who just copied Instant-Gaming and they are not official. Neither is Instant-Gaming, though. They sell unoffical third-party game keys.

    Fake News! Sad! Believe me.
    Retailers 'leak' things all the time, doesn't mean a thing. Half the time its fake because they listen to rumors online and consider Yahoo Answers a factual place for knowledge.
    1. The Sims 2
    2. The Sims 3
    3. The Sims 4 (5 years later its decent)
    4. The Sims 1

    online retailers have started posting listings for it because others have done so too. it's an SEO thing, not based on insider knowledge whatsoever. if their competitors have digital footprints all over the web they need to do the same thing, so if it DOES come out when people search 'sims 4 island ep' in google their website will be listed as the first result.

    Real! because of all the evidence such as the "leaks" and what everyone is talking about.

    It will be summer for the USA when it releases.

    The most damning evidence is SimGuruLyndsay liked a tweet on Twitter "I'm not good with numbers. I am going to answer pineapple!".

    But a personal opinion... I don't think University will be released for a while. I think they'll keep dropping content so people will continue to buy the DLC to keep the sims fun for themselves. What seems to be the most popular pack is University, everyone and their mother is waiting on the edges of their seats for that pack. When the Sims starts going south, I personally think they will release it then, when they're starting to get dry on content or desperate for sales, I think they want to milk the franchise essentially. But hey thats my 2 cents, and just speculation, not facts.
    It could go the other way around to, who knows maybe they will side with the consumers and give them what they want and (be smarter in terms of longevity of The Sims series too).
    We will have to see how it plays out!

    For those wishing for this next pack to be something else that is not Tropical, well I would say currently the odds shown are not in your favour. Just enjoy some beaches, take a long vacation while you wait for whats next lol

    Neither of those seems, at all, real to me.

    I believe they were making a joke @suzyl3. I mean, literally, nobody asked for a lipstick stuff pack. That's just plum.

    Edit: Sorry for double posting!

    I think some guru from EA would have already said it’s not true if it wasn’t. Bring a tropical expansion on!!

    Yeah, I was thinking that at this point, if they haven't debunked the rumors and it turns out to be fake, there will be a lot of backlash. With all the anticipation building up, they would've nipped it in the bud before people get disappointed and angry

    If it's all a hoax, they need to hire a better PR team

    I’ll believe it when I see it. A part of me does think it’s real just because the Sims team hasn’t denounced this rumor yet. That, and I’ve watched more than a few speedbuilds by Game Changers where they went with a tropic theme or spoke about the rumors, and I’m not saying the GC know anything because they’ve all pretty much said they know just as much as we do, but I would like to believe the Sims team would have contacted them and let them know that isn’t the direction they’re going in. Who really knows, but it would be funny if there was all this hype over a rumored Tropical EP, and it turned out being a GP 😂

    I'm still not 100% convinced, but I want to believe it's real. I have been wishing for a pack like this. I just hope its content is good :)

    Im only saying fake because I REFUSE to get my hopes up until we eventually get some real news, and I dont tend to trust shady looking sites like those.
