The Sims 4’s 9th Expansion Pack is in the Final Stage of Production

The Sims 4’s upcoming Expansion Pack seems to be nearly finished!

EA Careers website has updated their website with some new job listings, and included in those listings are two new job positions looking for Voice Editors to help ship the upcoming expansion pack for The Sims 4!

The listing is looking for a Voice Editor who will be working in a 2 months term to help finalize voices and audio for the next Expansion Pack.

The Maxis Studio of Electronic Arts is seeking a Voice Editor to join the Audio team and help ship an upcoming expansion pack for The Sims 4.

The ideal candidate should have experience delivering final quality audio either from a brief or starting with placeholder sounds in software. Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work within technical limitations to deliver quality audio are essential. It’s also important that the candidate understands the role of audio in video games; and can create final content to best effect the player experience.

The Sims 4’s 9th Expansion Pack is in the Final Stage of Production

 

This isn’t the only scenario where a Voice Editor job listing predicted that a new Expansion Pack is close to being announced. Back in July 2019 we’ve posted about the Voice Editor Job Listing and predicted that an Expansion Pack would be coming our way by the end of 2019. Just a few months after in October 2019 – Discover University was announced!

If we could predict the time when The Sims 4’s 9th Expansion Pack could be announced – it would either be sometime during summer or even late spring – at EA Play 2020.

What do you think the next Expansion Pack is all about? Let us know in the comments!

Call it an unpopular opinion but I’d love to see a sims/zoo tycoon type collab for an expansion pack. Allowing sims to own exotic animals and become zoo keepers. Or something along the lines.

I’m a story creator with Sims and I wish there were other careers that we could follow in the game. I was very disappointed with Universidades and not having a teaching career to accompany my Sims and being able to give more realism to my stories without resorting to mods.

There are three careers with University including Educator, but you have to finish your degree to use them. Checkout carl’s sim guide for more details on how to actually achieve it.

I feel like a nostalgic pack would be awesome. Bring back stuff from the sims 1 (maybe like the old houses and neighborhoods with the same people) or like a everything they are missing from sims 2. Stoner thought so bare with me

To all the people asking for a farming pack: that’s largely covered by seasons already. That is more a stuff pack type feature.

I don’t know what theme I want for the next pack after the disappointment of cats&dogs, but I do wish there was a tradition at the studio to add a new item or feature once a year to old expansion and game packs. Not only would it increase value based on feedback, it could give them potential revenue boosts on old packs. For example, I would end my protest of the pack within the pack and buy the my first pets pack if the cats&dogs pack was actually worth it. I see four potential items that could make it playable either alone or together:

1. Add cats to the pet training skill since they have no love at the moment. (easiest)
2. Don’t make pets you can’t interact with take up the active playable sims spots, track those separately so pets add rather than take away potential gameplay. Right now you have to choose pets or family and can’t really fit both.
3. Fix pet automation or add pet careers (at least a celebrity pet option or chasing off burglars) to make pets do actually interesting things like interact with each other and have chances to show their personality.
4. Allow people to run their vet clinic out of their home so they can do cat / dog rescue storylines (second easiest)

All of the packs already have a lot of content and adding just a little more would make them truly shine. They could even add life states to packs that make sense:
– Vampires: Werewolves (rival faction)
– Realm of Magic: Zombies (evil magician / necromancer ability to raise dead and the good can put them to rest)
– Seasons: Actual Plantsims (Most of the coding already exists and it would only need a little refinement, the ice cream could just stay a temporary but now polished life state)

Knowing that feedback will be listened to and potentially incorporated if the pack is lacking in some way would give me more trust in future expansions and more likely to buy everything I can. What do you guys think?

I want generations! No farming nothing supernatual. More family gameplay. Stuff for kids and teens like sleepovers and prom. More stuff for elders like canes. Bring back midlife crisis. Oh and strollers i miss strollers. Sorry generations was my favorite sims 3 pack and Id love to have it again. Parenthoods not enough. And the stuff packs for toddlers and kids didnt provide enough game play. And elders are completely forgotten

You all are forgetting about the elders! I dont think we need an expansion pack on them but a game pack would be nice or stuff pack like the kids and toddlers stuff pack. They are left out and so are teenagers, which is disappointing.

Half of the things you guys are asking for there are mods that accomplish those wants. Only thing that is not modded is farming and driving. I prefer driving or a nice vacation spot.

Icemunmun has farm stuff! A chicken coop and a few animals. All I can remember clearly is that there are pigs. They also have tons of custom foods you can plant/grow. Corn, pumpkins, etc. There’s really too many to list. 🙂

I personally think it may be a resort/winter sport pack based on the questions we had to answer in that survey a while back.

I think, too, that the questions on winter sports were for the rest of the story, it was very targeted. I do not see, why, they would have asked such specific questions, if not for a future release that concerns the game Sims4. But, that perhaps after another, nothing indicates it, but the mountains are on the horizon…

those questions were literally stating that they were some ideas for improving *PAST* expansions.
winter sports for seasons, resorts for island living. do you even read?!

Uh, no? The poll made it obvious that those were separate things. They never suggested they give us those features as free updates but they asked the very general question of which packs we’d like to be updated. In my opinion the winter resort pack is definitely happening.

I wholeheartedly agree. With all that information from us simmer they could use it for a new expansion. I’m hoping for a new lot type and a mountain world that can be used for summer activities and winter activities. I’m kinda hoping for water slides…

Please have a rock band expansion at some point. Where you start as an underground band and try to become big and also have opportunities arise where you can be offered to be poached away by a more established group you can choose to stay or join. Obviously there would be risk for both. That’s just one idea for it Im sure there’d be even more cool ideas for the band expansion

Im def on board for a Battle of the Bands type pack! I think it’d make a real sick gamepack tho- drums electric guitars (that amp from that moschino? pack can actually be an amp lol), bass and cowbells xD (instruments in general), punk cas, stadiums, ragers(new dances!), tour buses, garages, band mates and rivals competitions, the whole shabang!

I don’t understand how and why people even want features like Cars (in a game you don’t have open world for good reasons). How can you people not see that cars will not be any more than garden decorations?! Snap out of it already! Cars make no sense in the sims 4.

I don’t understand how people even miss the sims 3 cars which didn’t even have proper animations. Do you really want your sims to magically teleport in the car and then teleport on the road? The Sims 2 cars were much better even if we didn’t have open world back then. At least those cars were properly animated, you could open their doors, drive them in and out the garage etc.

For me, it is always QUALITY > anything else. Quality matters.
Do we even need any more half-baked features in the sims 4, seriously? Look at how they delivered ponds, underwater areas, mermaids… they all suck. If they won’t make it right, I’d rather see them make nothing at all.

Why do 90% of people that play The Sims basically want all of the same packs over and over again that were already in the older games?

Don’t people want to see new and exciting things? We (the sims fans) are just paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars for what is pretty much updates in my eyes.

We need to think more outside the box when it comes to our wants/demands for packs and come up with fresh ideas to make spending so much of our money worthwhile

I 100% agree! I honestly love the suspense- My DREAM pack is a Film Noir pack ❤ The entire world could be black and white- run down city, robbers and cops (firefighters?!) could FINALLY be reintroduced, playing a criminal you can *actually* commit “crimes” and get arrested, weather is super rainy all the time, and just think about all the cool decor and music!!

Preach! I have been trying to tell this to people but you know how it works, someone gets nostalgic and everyone jumps to the bandwagon! And it is not even quality nostalgia, I mean, they don’t even talk about actual gameplay like wants&fears, hobbies, memories, attraction, etc… they are like “give me cars, we don’t even care if we can’t drive them around, we don’t care if they aren’t properly animated, we don’t care if we can’t even open the car door like we could in the sims 2, just give us the expansion of the goddamn cars”

I think a medical pack would be really fun. It could include certain diseases and allergies. It also could include other fun medical stuff. I also like a the resort/hotel expansion pack. It could also include waterslides+. I really want both these ideas.

Hoping for a game pack that adds in the missing ages, frees the babies, and gives more option to the elders think great elders. Brings in, end of life, for sims activities. like wills their inventory to a certain sim, the maid! Imagine lol But also, details the different family connections enriches the family and relationship experiences and gives better story progression over the worlds. My elders die of old age before the grand kids are teens, in most cases. I want to see farming as well and would love to see a Sims 4 werewolf and seriously some kind of car pack would be great!

I know it’s probably not going to happen but I would love just a home/build pack full of clutter and furniture stuff. I love building homes and I’m kind of sick of the same 10 countertops. I know that a lot of users just download custom content, but I feel more comfortable with buying sim packs rather than downloading.
