We’ll be taught extra about what’s coming with the following Inside Maxis stream, set for October 26 at 11am PDT / 2pm EDT / 7pm BST. That (*4*) does point out a number of free updates that can “let you customise your space with colour and unlock new ways to play”, although it appears the color bit already landed in the free swatch replace. Context suggests – but doesn’t verify – that these updates shall be a part of the Season of Selves, and thus will launch this year. However, the devs “still have two base game updates we have yet to talk about”. There’s no new expansion on that roadmap.
In reply to a query on whether or not we’d be taught concerning the new expansion pack timeframe quickly, the Sims’ group supervisor responds (through SimsVIP) that “the Season of Selves covers October, November, and December”. However, it appears to be like like there are two new main base game updates to assist boring the sting. An upcoming livestream will reveal a few of what to anticipate from the game in the close to future, but the builders have already confirmed that there shall be no new expansion pack in 2021.
Don’t anticipate a new expansion pack for The Sims 4 this year.
