Yesterday thesims.com accidentally revealed the icon for The Sims 4’s upcoming Game Pack, which you can see down below:

Theories about The Sims 4’s Next Game Pack

Considering that this might be one of the most vague icons in The Sims 4 series there are already so many theories out there speculating what the next Game Pack will be. Right now we have some official information from The Sims Team that they’ve shared. Let’s begin with the future cube:

  • Side by side. Sure. Spaced out. Yup.Stack ‘em up? Hmm.
  • The most popular destination to elope is not yet known.

 

We also have some vague information from the 6-month Roadmap that The Sims Team revealed back in April 2020:

Another group on our team is currently focused on our next Game Pack. This pack is a major first for us, and we are super eager to share it with all of you later this year.

 

Twitter user @Millow__ also made a high quality recreation of the next Game Pack icon, which you can check out below:

Theories about The Sims 4’s Next Game Pack

The theories already began all over the community! Although there are so many guesses and we won’t know for sure what the pack is all about until it gets revealed, the two popular theories seem to be taking the lead: Star Wars / Space-themed Game Pack and a Winter Vacation-themed Game Pack.

The theory about a Star Wars themed Game Pack is circling around because of the “3 suns” in the Game Pack icon, which is a known thing for the world of Batuu, a fictional world inside of the Star Wars universe.

The Sims Forum member EliasVersace also made an icon comparison of what the Game Pack icon could be referring to:

The other theory is a Winter Vacation type of Game Pack. It’s known that The Sims Team has been thinking about this idea from their January 2020 Survey, where they suggested certain Snow Activities.

The Sims Forum Member onverser also made a suggestion of what the icon could be referring to, which is a snow cabin, 3 snowballs on the top and a snowy mountain next to the side:

There are also some other theories circling around the community but we won’t know for sure until the pack gets revealed.

Considering that The Sims Team’s 6-month roadmap was released back in April 2020, we could be expecting this game pack to be announced and released by the end of September 2020!

What do you think this Game Pack is all about? Do you agree with the theories? Let us know in the comments!

Star Wars is literally about fighting and killing people, I wonder how they would incorporate that into the sims lol. You can’t even use a decent death spell with the magic game pack.

A light saber that you cannot use to kill Sims; would anyone care for that? Also at least with past brand packs such as Ikea and H&M it was still Sims related as it was furniture and clothes but how can you relate the Sims with Star Wars? If it turns out to be truly a star wars pack than it would only goes to show how the Sims has become more about being commercial instead of giving quality to the actual content. Imagine having hoovercrafts and whatever they use in Star Wars to fly while we don’t even have working cars and garages lmao.

I think it’s a snow resort pack. The 3 ‘snowballs’ are snowflakes in the foreground I think. The fact that the colours are inverted compared to the other icons is a hint – the white is snow.

Why are you all hating on a star wars game pack! yes i know it’s not practical but it would be pretty cool! like just imagine the star wars universe and having padawans and jedi and sith! Yes i do understand it’s not helpful in any way but it would be so much fun for us fans and whatever

No interest in a Star Wars pack at all… Don’t play with the robots/super naturals as it is… I play The Sims to recreate real life and to take control of it, not fansy/Sci-Fi.

I honestly haven’t a clue but the fact that they use the word elope is confusing as that just means runaway to get married, destination wedding, how about honeymoons? Links to the Spark’d challenge.

I know people are hating on the idea of a star wars pack but I personally love it. If we could get force users with skills paths like vampires and lightsaber battles between factions, I would be so excited! The world could be split between empire and rebels, you could chose a side and have to use disguises on lots for the other side. I get people who aren’t big star wars fans wouldn’t want it but if this is what the pack is I can’t wait.

I’d like to know when are we getting Werewolves?

We have Witches, Warlocks, Vampires, ghosts etc but they can’t give us a Werewolf expansion pack?

We could have a new suburb called Lunar Parade. New lots called Alpha Drive, Beta Court, Delta Basin, Gamma Round etc

New characters which could include Alpha’s, Beta’s, Gamma’s, Delta’s, Omega’s.

Troublesome teens could be asked to stick to a curfew of being home before 9pm or the moon causes an early “shift” to werewolf stage.

Oh…I could go on forever.

One of the teachers could be a member of the Werewolf pack and has to gently remind the pack school children that they can’t go changing into their werewolf willy nilly because they don’t want to do something expected of them at school.

For example: A note sent home to the parents of little Alex who got in trouble for growling at a “human” student and could the parents please remind him that not all of the humans understand werewolves.

I’ve already made this world in my drawings and writings. I’ve created storylines following these new changes that could be added to the Sims4 gameplay but I guess those of us who like Werewolves aren’t that important, are we?

It’s a Star Wars pack. The 3 dots can only be 3 moons in the sky.

A Star Wars pack would also be a major first, since it’s the first bigger pack to be a brand collaboration and we never had a space travel pack before.

Okay just shit on Get to Work and the rocket from the base game why don’t we. Also technically speaking space travel has been done with Lunar Lakes and Oasis Landing, so they’d be lying if they said this pack was never done before.

They’ve also never done a pack for TS4 largely inspired by the Sims 1. The romantic snow lodge vacation in TS1. If I remember right it also had a cafe area. Star Wars is far too niche, and I doubt it would have a feature I’d buy it for.

Excuse me? it’s called being rational and thinking and using my eyes. The icon representing the Star Wars world matches much better than the one for a winter vacation – if it’s that, which I highly doubt, I recommend them to remake the icon, because it’s too abstract and doesn’t get the point across at all. If those three big circles are snowflakes/snowballs they look very misleading.

I’m also not interested in Star Wars and I’m not going to buy a pack dedicated to it. Period. It seems it will be a very niche pack and I’m having trouble thinking what they could include in it to lure those of us who don’t care for SW. Bunk-beds? Man, I’ll pass.

They wouldn’t do a survey if they’re gonna release a snow vacation pack 3 months after. Things take time to develop, so I think this pack isn’t snow themed. We might get a snow vacation pack NEXT YEAR.

I agree with the whole future pack prospect, just think about the “subject” of the “Eco Lifestyle” pack the sims 4 released this year. In Evergreen Harbor it’s all about waste pollution and energy consumption which if we continue this every day the world of Evergreen Harbor could be in our earths future.

I don’t think it’s a Star Wars themed pack. It would take a lot of money to procure the rights for that and Disney is effing greedy. It might be a space themed pack though.

I think I’d prefer a Winter vacation pack.

I really doubt they would do a Star Wars pack. I understand that they own the rights to Star Wars but they already have like 10 games about it. Looking at these comments if they made that pack a lot of people would not like it.

A Star Wars pack would mean only a fans will really care to buy, but a winter vacation pack will be like my first pet stuff. A lot of people can’t afford to get seasons and A new pack. Both of these ideas would be mistakes on EA’s part.

Honestly, I think this way too Lilaccloversims. Im not a fan of Starwars so I wouldnt buy it, and a lot of people dont have seasons, so repeating the same move they did for MFPS wouldnt be suitable bc a lot of people cant/ dont want to buy it. I would totally buy a Game Pack that brings amusements parks tho. Thats another theory

I honestly think it’s a future life style pack think about it they raleased the eco pack not long ago and it had to do with pollution in the air and not to mention think about strange vill . I honestly don’t see a star wars pack coming any time soon and a lot of people don’t want that. They have never made a future life style pack so I’m pretty sure that’s what this is going to be.

A lot of people don’t want a lot of things in The Sims 4 but yet we have them. For example, while Get Together is a good pack, literally nobody was like “I hope they add clubs in The Sims 4”. Strangerville is another great example. Literally nobody, not a single person, not even the people who love The Sims 2 has ever said “I hope they add a knock off Strangetown to The Sims 4”. Those are just two examples, the same can be said for other features/packs added to the game.

Okay hear me out. The three different symbols or figures in the icon could be like three different distinction spots? Like TS3 world adventures had three different locations to visit. Like the balls could represent space travel, then there’s the mountains (rock climbing and hiking?), and I don’t know what else the building shaped figure could represent. But maybe? I’m just hoping it’s not Star Wars… i would much rather have a Harry Potter or lord of the rings themed pack. Honestly as long as it’s not Star Wars I don’t even care.

It’s a gamepack. Given the developers’ past work, they aren’t going to create a quality pack that has more than one world, so those items don’t represent three locations. Also I’d prefer it if they just didn’t release established IP x The Sims collaboration packs because it’s dumb and very polarizing compared to normal.

Right? Like imagine your sim sitting in full Jedi regalia in a tatooine-style cantina, and in walks Bella Goth and Geoffrey Landgraab in normal clothes.

I’m hoping it’s a theme park or something – not an ill-conceived crossover with the SW franchise.

Go through Nifty Knitting trailer and you’ll see when the little girl is playing make believe, in the right side of the screen she’s imagining a punch of different planets, a rocket ship, and a pirate ship. On the left she’s imagining a horse and carriage. In the boys room there’s mediaeval swords and shields on the right, and then a poster of a space like futuristic man with a laser gun. Perhaps a universe adventure pack?

Ikr, and it’s rated T for teens. The Sims (1) literally had pole dancers and The Sims 3 had strippers. It doesn’t necessarily have to be those things specifically, but add in content that will make The Sims 4 deserve the rating of T for teens. Just adding Woohoo doesn’t cut it.

If it is a future pack. A, it better be a large world at least brindleton bay size. B, we better see the return of Plumbots. C, The furniture and build items better be plentiful in a futuristic context Airlock doors, holograms based TVs, Floating houses(like city living penthouses but with anti gravity technology) Hover chairs, beds, Sofas, the ability to set lights settings colours and intensity in build mode, the Sims 3s into the future window walls, teleportation elevator, cybernetics Sims(haft human haft machine (cyborgs)) the floating computer laptop thing, the ability to live in spaceships that you can kind of fly(like the house boats) , smart house items, Home Elevators, Glass floors, Do I need to continue we know what we want. But if it’s a winter pick Boo more vacation garbage.

Well the bots in university were Servos. In The Sims Universe there are three types of bots. The low quality Simbot (TS3 Ambitions), the lovable Servos (TS Livin’ Large and other games), and then the far superior Plumbots (TS3 Into the Future). I hope we get Plumbots because those were some clean robots.

If it’s Star Wars themed, I’m going to be EXTREMELY disappointed. Strangerville didn’t do great with the alien plant thing. Star Wars won’t do well either. I’ve been playing the Sims since Sims 1 and I can tell you that players want farming, horses, cars, and babies that can go in strollers and baby swings. Not Star Wars.

Let us hope that is the case. But the developers said something about it being a brand new pack, that is – never done before in the history of sims. Sims 1 vacation island had snow lots where the sims could stay and skii. I assume the completely new aspect of a winter destination pack would not be the features themselves, but that the pack is separate with the sole characteristic of winter activities. They could probably include more features in a themed game pack than they did in sims 1 when there were only one world with three different lots 🙂
