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.<ref>http://www.simprograms.com/37959/stuff-pack-6-and-amazon-france/</ref><ref>https://www.gctonline.co.za/gaming/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=3717</ref>
One of Mod The Sims member has spotted something at Origin that might be a sixth expansion pack, that has SimsVIP reported on it.<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=8222</ref>
The rumored stuff pack appears in EA Russia, but it was removed.<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=8254</ref>
SimsVIP has found that a retail shop know as '''CD Universe''' had listed the product.

'''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.<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=9731</ref><ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=10022</ref>
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.

The trailer shows that the expansion pack has 4 playable [[life state]]s which are [[Werewolf]], [[Witch]]/Warlock, Fairy and [[Zombie]]. It also shows a [[Gypsy]] Fortune Teller/Medium NPC and [[Vampire]]s. It seems that werewolves 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 [[The Sims 2: Apartment Life|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.

[[File:The Sims 3 Weather Days.jpg|200px|right|Fan-made logo by SimGoodie]]
SimsVIP rumored it as Weather Days to be the next expansion pack after ''[[The Sims 3: Pets|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.<ref>http://www.simprograms.com/35801/ea-russia-pets-and-an-interview-with-the-head-of-ea-russia/</ref>
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 [http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=5495913 here]. As well as this, [http://www.twitter.com/SimGuruMeatBall 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 [http://sims.mixei.ru/the-sims-3-novosti/slux-pervyj-predzakaz-the-sims-3-season.html Sims.Mixei.ru].<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=12080</ref>
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, '''[http://fr.sims.wikia.com/wiki/Les_Sims_Wiki Les Sims Wiki]''' found a listing for the pack in '''Amazon France'''.<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=12291</ref> The listing was removed soon after.

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'''.

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.<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=13696</ref> 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.<ref name="NewEgg Lists The Sims 3 Seasons!" />
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.

==The Sims 3: 70s, 80s, & 90s Stuff==
It was known as '''''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.<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=15373</ref> 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''.<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=8726</ref>
On September 8 2012, a user from ''SimPrograms'' found another listing from a Dutch electronic retailer '''Dixons'''.<ref>[http://www.simprograms.com/42894/dutch-retailer-dixons-list-sp8-decades/ Dixons' listing of Decade SP] - from SimPrograms<br>[http://simsvip.com/?p=15671 SimsVIP similar article]</ref> The listing, ''[http://www.dixons.nl/games-software/pc/games/electronic-arts-the-sims-3-sp8-decades.html 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.<ref>[http://rinconsimmer.jimdo.com/2012/09/18/la-mayorista-holandesa-gameworld-lista-d%C3%A9cadas/ Rincon Del Simmer's finding of Decades SP] with downloadable file of upcoming game releases for the Netherlands<br>[http://simsvip.com/?p=16167 SimsVIP similar article]</ref> 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.
Four new listings from four different Dutch retailers were found by ''Rincon Del Simmer''.<ref>[http://rinconsimmer.jimdo.com/2012/09/29/un-mont%C3%B3n-de-tiendas-m%C3%A1s-catalogan-d%C3%A9cadas-accesorios/ Rincon Del Simmer's finding of Decades SP] (2)<br>[http://simsvip.com/?p=16432 SimsVIP similar article]</ref>
A few minutes before the Maxis broadcast of October 10th, an article from ''Games.com'' states that "it will soon be time for your Sims to flash back to decades past or put on the old chef hat to get cooking."<ref>[http://blog.games.com/2012/10/09/the-sims-3-seasons-weather-stone/ Game.com's article on Decade rumored announcement]</ref> It may be possible that this rumored pack and a new store set will be announced in the broadcast.
The announcement was actually true. During the last few minutes of the broadcast, a host announced that this pack known as ''The Sims 3: 70s, 80s, & 90s (Stuff) Pack'' is still on development and it will be released on January 2013. The broadcast also displayed some rendered pictures and sketches.

;'''Confirmed as ''The Sims 3 Refresh'''''
SimsVIP found listings of the game/pack from three different gaming retailer sites (both may be from Hungary).<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=12388</ref> Two listings, '''Uberkonzol''' and '''gameshop.hu''' appeared alongside their listings which are a season-themed expansion pack for ''[[The Sims 3]]''. The latest listing came from a Spain's gaming retailer '''EuroVideo'''. It is unknown whether all of these listing were removed.
According to the post's comments, ''F@bry'' and ''Vicky'' think that it is the normal ''The Sims 3'' base game with the patches installed which make the game updated. Minor rumors states that it is a name place holder for the rumored ''The Sims 3: Seaside Stuff''.
The release dates from the sources differ. Uberkonzol's listing shows that it would be released on June 22, 2012 which is impossible because the date had passed. gameshop.hu's listing shows its release date as August 17, 2012.
On July 8, 2012, '''SimFans.de''', a German Sim-fan website, contacted EA about the game. They found out that it is a code name of The Sims3 base game updated to date.<ref>SimFans.de article on Refresh [http://www.simfans.de/?subaction=showfull&id=1341765010&archive=&start_from=&ucat=11& in German] and [http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.simfans.de%2F%3Fsubaction%3Dshowfull%26id%3D1341765010%26archive%3D%26start_from%3D%26ucat%3D11%26 in English]</ref> On July 16, 2012, SimsVIP mentioned this.<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=13151</ref>
It was then revealed by Simprograms on October 18, 2012 that ''The Sims 3 Refresh'' was announced as a base game plus up-to-date patch that contains the social features from ''Showtime''.<ref>[http://www.simprograms.com/43769/the-sims-3-refresh-is-announced/ Announcement of The Sims 3: Refresh in Simprograms]</ref>
;Confirmed as '''''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'''''
Some readers from '''Sims.Mixei.ru''' had discovered a '''Russian Origin''' listing with some leaked information.<ref>[http://sims.mixei.ru/the-sims-3-universitet-university-novosti/the-sims-3-universitet-university-devyatyj-addon.html Sims.Mixel.ru article on University]<br>[http://simsvip.com/?p=15812 SimsVIP similar article] in English</ref> The listing was for a limited edition '''University-themed expansion pack''' for ''[[The Sims 3]]''. There was a short description which said (in translation) ''"Feel their college years!"''. The developer shown was under ''[[Maxis]]'', which can be a similar developer for other expansion packs for ''The Sims 3'' which was The Sims Studio. It would cost 799p/799 Russian Rubles (US$25.16).
Sims.Mixei.ru also found out that the idea of a University-themed expansion pack was from a expansion pack ideas survey given to some players.<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=10282</ref>One of the options was related to this rumored pack.
[[File:8072094542_416ff34730_o.png|thumb|180px]]
On October 9th 2012, during the last minutes of the Maxis Live Broadcast after announcing ''[[The Sims 3: 70s, 80s & 90s Stuff]]'' and recapping what was happening in the broadcast, there was a dressed-up school mascot and a graduate. They were running around, interrupting Ryan Vaughan, the producer of The Sims 3. Furthermore, he commented upon the "graduates" saying, "I think those guys belong back in university or something like that...". Many viewers have taken this as a confirmation of the impending release of The Sims 3 University thus this act may be a hint to this rumored pack.<ref>[http://simsvip.com/2012/10/09/ea-unofficially-officially-confirms-the-sims-3-university/ SimsVIP article on hinting University]</ref>
On November 10th, '''Sims Soul''' found three listings of different editions from '''Tu Tienda de Videojuegos''', a Spanish game retailer.<ref>[http://sims-soul.blogspot.com.es/2012/11/nueva-pista-de-los-sims-3-universitario.html Sims Soul article on three University listings]</ref> They have a different name to ''University'', which is ''The Sims 3 Move In The Faculty'' or ''The Sims 3 Move In School'', which may hint that players can use or create functional universities and/or schools and move their Sims in them. The listings had slated a release date which is March 7th 2013 for Europe. They were now removed. '''SimsVIP''' found another listing from '''Hypnosys Games'''<ref>[http://simsvip.com/2012/11/10/new-listing-for-the-sims-3-university/ SimsVIP article on a University listing]</ref> which slated the same European release and a code ''5030934109178''.

After the discovery of the EULA for University Life, more listings from different retailers roll in.
On November 26th, '''GameStop Germany''' (Gamestop.de) listed the pack for pre-order.<ref>[http://simsvip.com/2012/11/26/gamestop-germany-lists-the-sims-3-university/ SimsVIP article on Gamestop University listing]</ref> The pack costed €59.99 (US$77.66) which gave a big and unusual increase, but it may not be true.

In April 1, 2012, which is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day 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*''.
<blockquote>EA REVEALS FIRST DETAILS OF NEXT-GENERATION FLAGSHIP PC GAME - The Sims 4 Gives You Complete Freedom, Inspiring You With Endless Creative Possibilities.</blockquote> A teaser trailer was released on YouTube and was confirmed by EA as The Sims 4.
The post included information on what's involved in ''The Sims 4'' such as;
*"Sims can go beyond the boundaries of their neighborhood, and immerse themselves in an open subhood, interacting with other Sims using our new deeper personality system"
*“It is this type of open-ended gameplay that inspires endless creative possibilities. In addition the new goals and rewards systems will give players of all kinds from core gamers to storytellers the ability to enjoy long-term gameplay.”
*New Weather System — Every Day is an Unpredictable Day
*“The Weather System really delivers what the players have been asking for – a unique gaming experience offering new seasonal, outdoor activities that players can engage in. And because each season unfolds differently, winter, spring, summer and fall will look different than the year before, guaranteeing a fresh experience each season.”
