I was on SimGuruNinja’s Twitter and there he said that they are still on track with the knitting pack (and I assume the rest of the packs too then). So I think they just had it planned at a later date.
I don't think the Corona outbreak has any impact on the next pack, since that one is most likely already done before this whole outbreak became a thing.
Since Game Packs (which is most likely the next type of pack in line) are digital only, they can release that one on schedule if you ask me.
What this means for future packs, still in production, is not clear, we do not know that.
Game packs being digital does not mean that teenagers can spend their pocket money for it. They have to buy an Origin gift card first. But all shops in EU are closing tomorrow. Or they have to ask their parents, who are awaiting the collapse of their employers.
All shops in EU are closing tomorrow?
That is quite a bold statement to make, since where I live (the Netherlands -> EU.) that's not true.
Supermarkets, pharmacies and gas stations stay open of course. All other kinds of shops have to close. If I understood Angela Merkel correctly yesterday, this is an EU wide agreement.
Looks like that's only for Germany only, since here it really isn't the case.
The only facilities closed here are Restaurants, Gyms, Café's and Schools.
Our Government does not want a lockdown because they want people to get Corona to build 'group immunity'. They only want to slow it down so at least 50/60% of the people gets it but not all at the same time, because that's too much for the healthcare system to handle all at once.
Germany has no lock down either, but looking at my completely irresponsible young fellow citizens on the streets and in the parks everybody expects it by the end of the week.
I didn't know that the Netherlands share the UK approach. I hope you are not on the way to hell. I think a controlled infection is not possible because with one fith of the victims in need of ICU treatment every health system will explode within days. Italy has reported 350 casualties today, like every day.
I know, and I agree, our Government is a bit stubborn when it comes to this whole situation.

Meh and I'm not interested in the knitting one at all...
Wish they would throw up a bone.

Today they took all the galleries down for maintenance. Prehaps their getting them ready for a new pack.
Maybe we’ll finally hear something next week. Ninja gave me hope on Twitter when he said that everything is still on track for the knitting Pack. That means everything else should be good too.

Well they are still in the voting process for the knitting pack, with the next vote being about the logo design and title, so it makes sense they are still on track. And the stuff packs do not have that much gameplay overall (i.e. shorter development phase and quicker testing) so out of all the packs format this one would be the less affected. It could be a bit more tricky for GP and EP as they require bigger teams to work on.
I'm not expecting to hear anything for a few weeks now. I'll cross my fingers for April though. I'll still have to work from home if the UK goes into lockdown so I won't have much extra time to play.
I am bad with keeping track of release dates. Have we ever had a pack released in April for The Sims 4?
No pack in April, never !
COVID-19 should push it in July or later.
Maxis may still release it in April since this virus has set them back for March. Their very unpredictable with TS4 so I wouldnt write off April yet. At latest the GP might release in May.
FY20 Q4 results should be very good for the video game industry.
For example Nvidia GeForce Now (game streaming) reached the maximum of paying subscribers.
EA will publish the financial in May, we will see how much the TS4 community has grown this quarter.
It's the best moment to sell games and services but it's also the worst moment to develop them.
Since California is under lockdown (Just found out yesterday) it's no telling when we'll get an announcement and trailer. They should atleast announce it in my opinion so we can have something to look forward to.

I did put a thread up about it in forum ideas and feedback which people could post in to prevent other threads getting off topic:

Hopefully they will in Early April.

Agree so much

I guess it depends if the patch is ready or not.
GP03 Dine Out was planned in March but the CAS Gender Options patch pushed it in June.

He changed it about a month ago I think.
He said that wasn't related to Sims 4.
