The Sims game rumors

This page is for rumors about new Sims games and titles, as well as some leaking history from expansion and stuff packs for The Sims 3. People who do not like spoilers are advised to leave this page.

The Sims 4


"Note that while EA may have begun the initial steps for planning a The Sims 4 title, it's not coming any time soon. It may be or may not be announced after finishing developing the packs for The Sims 3."

In April 2010, an EA employee leaked information on Twitter that development of The Sims 4 had begun. However, that is the only information available.

In April 1, 2012, which is April Fools' Day, SimsVIP pranked viewers by photoshopping images which enthralled users making them believe The Sims 4 was being started on by creating a post with the title The Sims 4 Press Release + Origin Listing *Leak*.

This is what the post shows:

On June 2012, a user named Kabuto from two different fan sites, SimsVIP and Simprograms, predicted when The Sims 4 will be released. This is what he commented on :

If the rumored Seaside Stuff pack and Seasons expansion pack are announced officially, there should be 2 more EPs and 2 more SPs (some rumors state that The Sims 3 will have 10 EPs and 10 SPs) for EA to release.

The Sims 3: Seasonal Holiday Stuff
Simprograms has rumored the stuff pack but no source was given yet. Perhaps it may be announced after The Sims 3: Seasons was announced.

The Sims 3: Seaside Stuff
Simprograms found a new listing from an Italian gaming retailer Alex.it. The rumored stuff pack is called The Sims 3: Seaside Stuff. It would be released on October 26, 2012 in Europe (estimated North America release: October 23, 2012) at a price of €14.99/US$18.75. The retailer has since removed its listing.

Many speculate that it may be a beach-themed stuff pack. Others claim that The Sims 3: Refresh is actually the pack's name placeholder, but it is the name of the updated base game of The Sims 3.

If the stuff pack is released, 2012 would be the year that EA has released the most number of stuff packs for The Sims 3 in a year (4).

The Sims 3: Decades Stuff
At the end of August or the start of September 2012, Sims Nieuws found a listing from a Dutch retailer 'Wehkamp. The listing is known as Sims 3 - Decades (PC) and it would cost €25.99 (US$33.19). A release date was also found in the listing, stating that this pack would be released on January 23 2013. The links to Sims Nieuws' post and the listing were removed.

SimsVIP found out that this can be a stuff pack. Months ago on March 2012, a poll was created by the producers of The Sims 3. One of the options in the poll was The Sims 3 Decades Stuff.

On September 8 2012, a user from SimPrograms found another listing from a Dutch electronic retailer Dixons. The listing, Electronic Arts THE SIMS 3 SP8 DECADES, tells that it is the "eighth stuff pack" of The Sims 3 series and it would cost €29.99 (US$38.30), €4 higher than the previous rumored pricing from Wehkamp. It also showed the release date of January 4 2013, a few weeks before the previous rumored release date from Wehkamp.

On September 18 2012, Rincon Del Simmer found a file from a Dutch game supplier cum retailer GameWorld which lists upcoming games and DLCs from then to early 2013. It had found three listings related to this rumored pack (The Sims 3 SP8 Decades (FR) and two The Sims 3 SP8 Decades) where one of them may have been mistaken as Namco as the pack's developer. One of them is the French version of the pack while the other two may be the Dutch version. All three of them have a release date of January 24 2013, which is a Tuesday - may be an actual release date.

For more listings coming soon, you may check out this page from SimsVIP.

Attendees at the event got a sneak peek at EA's Taking the Sims Through Space and Time behind closed doors. The speaker mentioned he couldn't reveal more on camera as they were under an embargo (possibly referring to a Non-disclosure agreement).

Finally SimPrograms could report that The Sims Medieval was an entirely new spin-off series from The Sims, more akin to Life Stories and RPGs than the life simulation we know.

The Sims 3: Generations

 * Type
 * Expansion Pack

The Sims 3 Generations is the fourth expansion pack for The Sims 3. InfiniteSims incorrectly speculated that the new expansion pack would be announced February 25, 2011 and its official release would be sometime in May 2011. On the official The Sims 3 website, the page for Ambitions said "Congratulations! You have successfully registered your The Sims 3 Generations game." This confirmed that the rumors were true.

According to this tweet by InfiniteSims, EA got Unleashed's trailer taken off of YouTube; this had led some to believe that the video was real.

Shortly after the release of The Sims 3: Generations, EA confirmed that a pets-themed expansion was in development, under the official name of The Sims 3: Pets. There had already been an older rumor about an expansion pack named The Sims 3: Pets, but that rumor had been proven false prior to the Unleashed rumors and official confirmation of The Sims 3: Pets.

The Sims 3: Town Life Stuff

The Sims 3: Katy Perry's Sweet Treats Stuff Pack
Simprograms has rumored that there will be another stuff pack after The Sims 3: Master Suite Stuff. They took two images from two different websites, one is from Amazon France and the other from a South African gaming retailer. The release can be on 27 March but it would be impossible as EA usually announces games few months before the release, which means the date could be changed sooner. Amazon France has removed the product page, thus not knowing whether there will be a 6th stuff pack yet to be released.
 * Type: Stuff Pack
 * Confirmed as The Sims 3: Katy Perry's Sweet Treats

One of Mod The Sims member has spotted something at Origin that might be a sixth expansion pack, that has SimsVIP reported on it.

The rumored stuff pack appears in EA Russia, but it was removed.

SimsVIP has found that a retail shop know as CD Universe had listed the product. However, it was deleted. They have updated on the same post that CD Universe has listed the pack again and this time, it was not deleted. Then, they reported on March 18 that Yahoo News! interviews Katy Perry and Kate said that she had done "a new song she was to record following our interview at the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills" and it was "for another collaboration with The Sims that will allow you to turn your world into Candy-fornia". The post also had stated that the rumored stuff pack will have objects similar to the objects seen on the music video of California Gurls.

SimsVIP had found another listing of the pack from a different retail shop, known as overstock.com.

Rincon Del Simmer (a Spanish website for The Sims series news) had found a Spanish Origin listing and on the listing are three photos showing the contents. It showed the price which the pack cost €29.95. It is rated 12 by PEGI, like other Sims series games' rating.

According to these posts, the pack is to be released on June 12, 2012 and will be on sale for the price of US$28.

On April 3, 2012, it was officially announced by EA. Instead of being released on June 12, 2012, it will be released on June 8, 2012.

The Sims 3: Diesel Stuff
Rincon Del Simmer (from SimsVIP post) had reported that there was a 7th stuff pack releasing on July 12, 2012 (and being sold as pre-order at 18 Euros) as they had found two listings from two separate gaming company websites, Hypnosys and Tu Tienda De Video Juegos. But these listings were removed, which means that this pack is unknown whether it may be true.
 * Type: Stuff Pack
 * Confirmed as The Sims 3: Diesel Stuff

On April 22, 2012, they had discovered a new game category "Diesel" on The Sims 3 website, which gave some clues to the stuff pack. They knew that there was a poll in The Sims 3 website from November 2011 which asked "what brands would you like to see in The Sims 3". The choice Diesel had the highest votes and won. There was also a recent poll that may be related to this stuff pack which asked "what theme would we like for the next Stuff Pack" and the choice Teen Stuff got the highest votes and won.

Before the announcement, the pack's listings from various game retailers from around equestria can be seen. The stuff pack was confirmed and announced on May 10, 2012. It will be released on July 10, 2012.

Diesel is an Italian clothing company, thus this is the second stuff pack for The Sims 3 which has a sponsor (the first of which is The Sims 3: Katy Perry's Sweet Treats). This is also the third stuff pack released on 2012.

The Sims 3: Supernatural
After The Sims 3: Showtime, a new patch (1.32) was released for players to update. Sims.Mixei.ru had spotted spoilers for the next expansion pack on the patch.
 * Type: Expansion Pack
 * Confirmed as The Sims 3: Supernatural

They had added posts on spoilers that may link on the expansion pack. They found toys from buydebug that they think it comes for the next expansion pack and game effects were recorded and uploaded on YouTube by them but was taken down afterwards.

On June 3, 2012 a listing for the rumored 7th Expansion was discovered on Amazon Italy. It's listed as the collector's edition with the release date of September 7, 2012. It was also listed on Alex.it, Buy.it and Webster.it. Its rumored name is The Sims 3: Supernatural.

On June 11, 2012, EA Russia leaked the trailer for The Sims 3: Supernatural via their YouTube channel. But was taken down on the next day. It was again released but in Russian. An English version of the trailer was first uploaded by EAsingapore on June 13, 2012.

The trailer shows that the expansion pack has 4 playable life states which is Werewolf, Witch/Warlock, Fairy and Zombie. It also shows a Gypsy Fortune Teller/Medium NPC and Vampires. It seems that werewolfs transform at a full moon and run faster, witches/warlocks can duel other witches/warlocks and turn others into stone, fairies can hover/fly and use magic, zombies can bite people and limp and Fortune Tellers can see the future and look into their crystal ball. The trailer also features Apartment Life's hidden bookcase door, except that this one slides instead of spinning. This is also the first expansion pack to have more than one life state. It introduces a new neighborhood called Moonlight Falls, which seems to be situated near or on mountains with a lake and a waterfall.

The Sims 3: Seasons

 * Type
 * Expansion Pack


 * Confirmed as The Sims 3: Seasons
 * This pack has another speculative name which is Weather Days.



SimsVIP rumored it as Weather Days to be the next expansion pack after Pets. This is false due to The Sims 3: Showtime being released after Pets. A leaked trailer was supposedly put up on YouTube but it was taken down shortly after. No other information on this title is known. A fan-made logo was created on SimGoodie to represent the expansion pack.

According to another article reported first on SimPrograms, EA Russia may have leaked some more information as to what the 6th EP is or isn't.

The conversation that EA Russia had goes as follows:
 * WolfMega: What is the theme of the 6th EP of the Sims 3 If it life again, so it will be like Generations 2.0? Not everybody likes Generations and it’s rather small expansion.
 * EA Russia: There are a lot of new interactions in the Generations, just explore it. The next EP is about life, but in another format. It is not similar to any Expansion pack in The Sims 2. The logo contains a black background & light Letters.
 * Somebody: Look, there are 3 carousels for kids in Generations: 1st – pirate ship (hint for Pirates & Nobles), 2nd – horse (hint for Pets) and the 3rd – space rocket. Is it a hint for space EP?
 * EA Russia: No, but we like your imagination

Some commenter by the name "@leg" on the article claiming to be from Russia that visits the Russian Community pages has responded as follows, disclaiming several possibilities of the 6th EP. The spaced rocket carousel could've probably been a hint for Lunar Lakes.

After being confirmed as a fake on late-2011, more rumors popped up on April 2012 after seeing a new category being added to The Sims 3 Store. The category 'Rain' was added to an item out of the Seeing Stars set on the store, which can be seen here. As well as this, SimGuruMeatBall on Twitter tweeted two unusual, hinting tweets that may lead up to the rumored expansion pack.

On June 18, 2012, SimsVIP listed an article citing back to Sims.Mixei.ru.

It had discovered listings on a Hungarian Retailer Uberkonzol for the pack. Not only is there a normal edition, but there is also a limited edition and a base and pack combo pack slated for November 9, 2012 for Europe (the possible North America release is on November 6, 2012). All of these listings were removed from the site.

Meanwhile on June 21, 2012, Les Sims Wiki found a listing for the pack in Amazon France. The listing was removed soon after. Le Mag then posted about an EA conference held a week before the post announcing this year end’s newest titles. The Sims 3: Seasons is mentioned on the post. Finally, a user from SimsVIP found another French listing from Jeux Video for the same pack.

On June 22, 2012, Rincon Del Simmer found listings from two different Hungarian gaming shop websites. Konzolvilág.hu has three listings of the pack (in three different editions) while GameShop.hu has only one (the combo pack edition). It is unknown however if all the listings were removed.

On July 20, 2012, two readers from SimsVIP found two more listings from Toys.ie and Smyths.com UK. Both listings are on normal edition.

On July 21, 2012, from the post about the listings at Toy.ie and Smyths.com UK in SimsVIP, a user SimsTias found a listing at a Swedish gaming retail website Homeenter.com. It has a box art and a description to this pack. It is unknown whether they are official. The pack's description in the listing says:

"Head outdoors for year-round fun with your Sims! New seasonal activities await your Sims. Strengthen family ties in Winter, let romance bloom in Spring, deepen the bonds of friendship in Summer, or fast-track your career in Fall. And make sure to dress your Sims appropriately in seasonal outfits!"

On July 24, 2012, a reader from SimsVIP, XwertyQ1 found a listing from ABCGames.sk, a Slovakian gaming retail. Two days later, Rincon Del Simmer found two listings from two Spanish gaming retails, Xtreme Media and Tu Tienda De Video Juegos. On July 27, 2012, they again found another Spanish listing from Hypnosys.

On July 28, 2012, a SimsVIP poster Penelope made an article naming Official EA/Sims Hints @ Seasons. He said that EA had tossed out some possible hints at the rumored pack. On July 20, The Sims 3 Dutch page posted a photo with the caption “After the Rain...” while on the same day of the post, The Sims 3 German page created a poll asking users ''“Many of you want a weather add-on. What season your Sims like the most?”''. He also said a few days ago, some fansites from around the world revealed they were invited to an exclusive community event at EA’s California Studio in mid August. And with 4 months left, there isn’t a whole lot of time to advertise Seasons after Supernatural’s release. The Platinum Simmers gave some information about the community event.

On July 30, 2012, two readers from SimsVIP, Rays on and SimTias found two listings of the rumored pack, by separate edition (Limited and Combo) from NewEgg USA. Since there are enough listings for the rumored pack, the community can say that the rumored pack may turn out true.

On August 1, 2012, TheSims.com was seen to have the rumored pack listed on the website itself, but it got removed quickly. A box art was seen but it was also removed. An announcement or a trailer was released yet.

On August 2, 2012, The Sims 3 Czech Facebook posted a photo relating to this expansion pack. In the photo, there are Sims relaxing and playing around it seems to be near a beach (which means that swimming can take place on beaches), there are stalls or booths set up along a path, another stall and nearby is a halfpipe (which means that skateboarding feature is back from The Sims 2: Seasons) and a Sim sculpting pumpkins (which means that holidays is being implemented, e.g.: Halloween).

The release dates differ from different sources. So far, four release dates were shown, all on the same month of November: 8th (from Homeenter.com), 9th (from Uberkonzol and ABCGames.sk), 15th (from Jeux Video, Tu Tienda De Video Juegos and Hypnosys) and 16th (from Le Mag, Konzolvilág, GameShop, Toys.ie and Smyths.com UK) 2012. The fifth release date from NewEgg USA, known as one of the best retailers around USA, is November 13, 2012, probably the North America release date.

It was confirmed at the EA Summer Showcase that The Sims 3 Seasons is in fact real and will be released this Fall, November 13, 2012.
