Predictions for 2024

What are your predictions for packs for 2024? Not necessarily what you want but what you think we might get based on speculation and hints.
My guesses
2 EPs- I think we will get a hotel pack in 2024. The gameplay in for rent lends itself to hotels so I believe this much anticipated feature will be coming next year.
I also think we will see a bands EP. A couple years ago there were lots of smaller hints towards bands but we haven't seen it yet, I think we will finally see it next year with a K-Pop vibe.
2 GPs- tons of hints towards fairies, including from the sims own social media account.
In For Rent on of the marbles is named for AL Simhara, the Egypt inspired world for sims 3. My hope is that it's a hint towards another adventures style GP featuring an Egypt style world.
I think we may see kits slow down a bit and a few more stuff packs. I addition of the pool party and pool float in for rent seems very random to me, perhaps it's a hint towards a pool inspired stuff pack.

I think the world as a marble is a reference to Men in Black movie.
Anyway, there are lots of tiger references in the pack, yet there are no tigers. Of all places I would have expected to see a tiger, a tiger sanctuary would be one. If you go through the jungle, you might actually not meet one, as they are solitary animals and roam on a large territory, and at most you may find paw prints, or droppings, or your goats go missing, or you may hear them roar in the distance and you would pee your pants if you hear them nearby and if you do actually meet one you might not live to tell the tale. The tiger is elusive in the jungle, but not at the sanctuary or the zoo and you go there to actually see one.
2 GPs - Fairies one of them
2-3 SPs - Jewellery Making is first
8-12 Kits - first 2 are already confirmed for early 2024, those are Castle and Goth Kits
There randomly has been alot of bird imagery though as not only the bird cage item is one, but the small tapestries that TS4 For Rent gave have peacocks and other bird species on them.
I'm honestly confused at this point, but I am still convinced that we will be getting a fairies GP in 2024 and I think it will include unicorns because in TS4 HR debug, there is a fully solid white unicorn object that is the size of a real horse. I think they either intended for them to be in HR originally but had to cut them either due to time constraint/budget, or bc of EA's greed and they are making them paywall the magical element behind the Fairies pack to try to entice players who don't usually like occults.
Base Game Updates Tweens, Vechiles, Burglars. Seperate simoleon bank accounts.
Funerals, Wills and inheritance.
Highschool in class gameplay and a rabbit hole football game, Uni Day.
Sick Sims have the option to go to the hospital.
I think cars will finally come to the game in an update with possibly a car stuffpack for more car accessories and additional cars.
A Hotel Expansion or Gamepack
A Grim Reaper Expansion or Gamepack.
A Love and Romance Expansion Pack.
A Pool or Waterpark Stuffpack.
- hotels (EP)
- fairies (GP)
- pet dragons (GP or SP)
I don't know how likely they are. But we can always hope.
As for what they might be?
EA has been filling a lot of popular requests lately, so looking at what seems the most in demand:
EP - Hotels, Multi-purpose lots/malls, Bands/Hobbies, Romance
GP - Fairies, Grim Reaper, Bands/Hobbies, Romance, Something random to mix things up
SP - Pools, Cars, Infants
As for free updates:
Cars and Spiral Staircases
Journey to Predictions:
Hotel: EP -used to think this would be a GP but with how light the last few EPS have been, it's more likely to be an EP instead. Hopefully this will add in more pool objects. Casinos are also a possible theme with this.
Hobbies: either GP or EP. Depending on how indepth they want to go with this, they could make one big EP focusing on several different paths of hobbies - music, arts & craft, athleticism, something mechanical/engineering, and something outdoor would be my first thoughts as possibilities, or they could split them up with maybe 2 to a GP.
Time Travel to the future - EP or GP. Depending on how the hobbies are done, this could be a second potential EP but also could be small enough to be a GP to make many people happy.
Time Travel to the Past: GP - in another thread I mentioned with Horses in and the Medieval kit coming next year, a time travel to the past EP seems less likely. I proposed a Renaissance Festivals/Fairs type of GP instead.
Fairies: GP - like with other occults getting a Game Pack is enough here.
So my predictions here end up being
Hotel - EP
Hobbies - EP
Time Travel (either past or future but not both) - GP
Fairies - GP
To account for my own personal bias, Definitely want hotels, hobbies, and something like the Renaissance Festivals/Fairs or Journey to the Past. No real interest in Fairies or Time Travel to the Future.
SP or Kits no idea. It's all very random here. I'd hope for some more Decades kits...but who knows.
I am really curious what comes next. I know some people hate long waits for already announced packs, but I really like to know what to expect.
I wish the Castle kit was a stuff pack or game pack. If we are getting a Castle kit, that probably rules out anything more in depth for that theme, which is disappointing.
We know that we'll get the two kits people voted on somewhere between January and March first quarter. That's a given.
I'm hoping for a water parks sp and a bathroom sp. On the latter we got a bathroom kit but it was mostly clutter. I'm hoping a bathroom stuffpack will focus on new showers and tubs especially a large walkin shower and multi shower heads.
I'm hoping it's the opposite situation. For example, we got that country kitchen pack shortly before Cottage Living, and it seems like those b/b items may have been extra assets that were cut from the CL pack. Similarly, considering how far in advance they work on EPs and even GPs, if they knew they were working on something with a historical theme and would likely have unused items, that might be why they included the medieval build kit for the vote in the first place.
NOOOOO
Quick we need to form summoning circle!
*starts rolling rocks into place*
I'm hoping for fairies or dragons
and my wallet is hoping the opposite
but the question was not
"what do you have money for in 2024"
so wallet shall be ignored

I would really love a pack that resembles Dragon Valley from TS3 in some way. That was my favourite DLC ever.
I agree, No Occults usually means No Money from me, I vote with my Wallet and my Wallet tells me to buy Occult Content and Not Boring Mundane IRL stuff.
Apart from that, probably a hotel EP but I’m not sure how well it will work.
I think we'll have a lighter year than 2023. My prediction: a fairy GP, a bands EP, and some kits.
