The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs

 * Status
 * Confirmed True

Pet content was first hinted at in a survey conducted in March 2015. On April 9, a Facebook post hinted towards the idea of a Pets expansion. Shortly after, SimsVIP released a post pointing out the "hints" towards the new expansion in existing game items. Later 'hints' include
 * A paw print symbol prominently displayed on a jacket.
 * A Guinea pig on the 17th Anniversary shirt (left hip)

However, besides just 'hints' being found in the game, many lines of code have been found by members of the community inside update files.
 * Mentions of pets in object descriptions

These 'leaks' have consisted of
 * Code relating to species separation, such as dogs having different constraints from humans (among other things)
 * CAS tags related to pets
 * Code related to pets' movement on objects (counters, fridges, etc.)

On June 4, 2017 a Slovakian retailer brloh.sk listed for pre-order The Sims 4 Dogs and Cats expansion pack, with an expected release date of November 9, 2017.

Later on, a box art of The Sims 4: Pets was leaked with a render, but it was later confirmed by SimGuruGraham to be fake.

The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs was officially confirmed at Gamescom 2017.

The Sims 4: Seasons

 * Status
 * Confirmed true

On March 4, 2018, Sims fansite SimsVIP issued a post that stated Electronic Arts would potentially be releasing a Seasons expansion pack for The Sims 4 on September 18, 2018, "confirmed" by an EA customer support agent. Additionally, a twitter thread shows different EA agents confirming a Seasons expansion pack.

The Sims 4: Seasons was officially confirmed on May 24, 2018.

The Sims 4: Island Living

 * Status
 * Confirmed true

On May 15, 2019, gaming retail website InstantGaming listed an expansion pack called "The Sims 4: Tropical Paradise". Soon after, a Dutch gaming retail website Gamesync.nl also listed the game.

The leak at first seems to be fake as the description found in InstantGaming is a direct copy paste from a thread in the official The Sims Forums, first published in March 15, 2019. Gamesync.nl, however, does not have the same description as InstantGaming, making the credibility of this leak unquestionable.

The Sims 4: Island Living and its official description alongside various images were accidentally leaked by EA in Origin on June 7, 2019, essentially confirming the earlier rumors and leaks to be true. The Sims 4: Island Living was officially announced during EA Play on June 8, 2019.

Confirmed fakes
The Sims 4: Country Livin': Ahead of the release of The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle expansion pack, a fake rumour went viral. The rumour started on Twitter, with someone claiming to be an employee at a major retail outlet leaking a pre-order listing of the fake pack. Because of the sophistication of the graphics of the leak, the rumour spread like wildfire, but was later confirmed to be fake.
