The Sims 4’s Third Quarter of 2017 has begun!

It’s July, which means that the second quarter of 2017 is behind us. Before we dig deeper into what we can expect in the next quarter, here’s a look of all the content that was released in the last 3 months:

  • The Sims 4 Parenthood Game Pack
  • The Sims 4 Fitness Stuff Pack

There was also an announcement of The Sims Mobile in May which yet has to be released worldwide.

It was a decent quarter that brought a family-themed game pack that we’ve been expecting for so long. However, still not even a sight to an announcement of The Sims 4 Pets whose information started leaking since January. We do have a few leaks saying that this Expansion Pack is listed for a November release so it’s very much possible that we won’t be seeing a teaser for Pets in the upcoming quarterly teaser.

The Sims 4’s third quarterly teaser of 2017 could be released any day now. Just like with previous quarterly teasers, there isn’t exactly a specific day when The Sims Team releases them just like they do with general pack announcements (tuesday) or game updates (thursday). Here’s a timeline of previous quarterly teaser releases:

You can expect a new quarterly teaser for The Sims 4 starting today, which should showcase content that’s releasing between July and September of 2017. Let’s hope The Sims Team still plans to continue their plans for an amazing year.

What do you expect from this quarterly teaser? Let us know in the comments!

Well I was hoping for another game pack, but I think at most we’ll get 1 to 2 sps.

I have my hopes high for a university themed pack. Mostly likely it’ll just be a GP though.

Yeah, it seems they’ve been breaking down some of their expansion proposals — some into game packs, while combining other EP ideas (like Get to Work). The Health and Wellness Ep became Spa Day GP, so there’s hope that they could have just broken down Supernatural into different parts so they could at least deliver pieces of it, as opposed to waiting until they had time to do the entire EP.

Farming Game Pack / Pool Party Stuff Pack / Futuristic Stuff Pack / Pets

Pets and witches game pack? Holy cow, that’s a no-no-no.
Pets require more than a game pack and even if witches were to be included they’d be included in an expansion pack, along with more supernatural species.

Where did I say they should come in a Game Pack? I just wrote Pets / Witches as a general feature in some pack, not “Pets / Witches Game Pack”… (though a Witches Game Pack might be possible as we already got Vampires in a GP)

I really want a farm life game pack with horses and a supernatural game pack for witches. As for stuff packs, I hope they broaden things out a little bit. Bowling was too specific to be appealing to enough players. I have no interest in getting it and while I was reasonably happy with Fitness Stuff, it was also a pretty small niche market they were catering to with that one and most people didn’t like it. I think stuff packs for life stages would be great and appeal to everyone. Elders, Teens and Toddlers in particular would be big hits for stuff packs, I think.

Would love to see a new Dance and Romance game pack or expansion pack. what i really want is new dance animations also including much needed slow dances which is why i decided to say dance and romance. not sure what else they could add in the way of romance, maybe some slow jams for starters, but i’m sure the community has more ideas. i’m not saying this should be all about love, slow dances and slow jams, it should just be included. i’d just like to see more than just solo dances added to the game.

As long as university, seasons and pets gets released sometime, I’m happy. I would like to see swimming stuff pack where sims can swim in open waters like sims 3 island paradise. Maybe more career choices too!

Pets? University? Farming? This is all kind of blah. It’s the same stuff with a different look that we’ve been playing with since the The Sims 2. I wish they’d throw something different at us after all this time. But, it looks like history will repeat itself, so for this quarter we’ll probably get a teaser for a some game pack (maybe this is how they’ll release seasons or other supernatural life states?), and a couple of stuff packs (if we’re going off of ones we’ve already had, the new stuff packs will be useless and not what anyone ever asked for – but who am I kidding? Take all my money, Sims Team!).

I’m still smarting after that “Off the Grid” loss to flipping laundry in the community vote. If the Sims are anything like me, they’ll put the items in the wash and leave them there for a week until they smell and they have to be washed again. Very “eco,” ya know? To fit the theme.

We only had farming in The Sims 3 Store and the 3 features that didn’t made the cut for the Eco Stuff Pack would fit very well in a Farming Game Pack. 🙂

That’s exactly why I think they won’t be doing it as an EP. It would take longer than just fleshing out a GP and 3 SP.

of what I’ve been seeing the only thing that they have talked about was that Eco living, so that is probably what we will be getting next. They haven’t talked about pets etc, so maybe they’re not going to come out with it.

IIRC, that’s fall. Still possible a lot of their older survey proposals could be broken down into GPs and SPs.

Would be cool if they surprised us with 2 EPs this year, but I doubt it’ll happen.

So excited! I don’t even know what to expect this quarter.

Hopefully we at least get a new map. A date night pack would be amazing (single’s nights, hotspots, dating app, blind dates, REPUTATION, new romance items, bed & breakfast, wedding stuff, etc.), or a teen stuff pack (new events/socials, sleep overs, rule breaking, prom, etc.). If we don’t get seasons this year, a vacation pack w/ an island destination and a winter destination would possibly hold me over. I’d like to see a fame/celebrity system, in addition to the reputation system (or some combination of both) to change the way sims react based on your past behavior. Seems a good way to add depth.

Based on old surveys: Fame & Fortune Game Pack, Crime & Justice, Splashdown Water Park, Summer Vacation.

A Romance Pack
New Vacation Spot
University EP
Seasons EP
Adventure EP

I hope for at least one of those to be teased.

It’s free in Sims 2 and 3? Please explain, as I clearly remember buying the expansions for both games, and my Mom having to buy the expansion to the first Sims game before that…
Don’t get me wrong, I’d love it too, but it’s very unlikely.

I would love to see a school game pack that includes universities and technical schools. Or maybe even a vacation pack. Or have a game pack that focuses on one the careers and really expands on it like the doctor career. Making a hospital venue where u can go tho work ore walk in for treatment. Oh how about a shopping game pack that brings stores and malls to the worlds. Sims can go scooping our just hang out. Teens could work there. And have store venues like grocery stores where u can see your sim shopping and plucking yup food and checking out.
