Note that while [[EA]] may have begun the initial steps for planning a The Sims 4 title, it's not coming any time soon.
In April 2010, an EA employee leaked information on [http://www.twitter.com/ Twitter] that development of ''The Sims 4'' had begun<ref>[http://www.simprograms.com/sims-4-in-production-and-a-note-to-those-in-the-community/ TS4 in production note]</ref>. However, that is the only information available.

===The Sims 3: Seasonal Holiday Stuff===
Simprograms have rumored it to be the next stuff pack. No other info has been seen.
===The Sims 3: Weather Days===
[[File:The_Sims_3_Weather_Days.jpg|200px|right|Fake User Created Logo.]] {C}SimsVIP rumored Weather Days to be the next expansion pack after Pets. A leaked trailer was supposedly put up on YouTube, and taken down shortly after. No other information on this title is known.
According to another article reported first on [http://www.simprograms.com/35801/ea-russia-pets-and-an-interview-with-the-head-of-ea-russia/ 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.<br />
:'''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.<br />
:'''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?<br />
:'''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.
: ''Hey! I’m from Russia, so I visit this page (Russian comunity).<br />There’s no magic in EP 6. And there’s no vacation things like “The Sims 2 Bon Voyage”<br />Seasons will be in The Sims 3 for sure! Maybe, in EP 7.<br />Do u remeber a rumor about Holiday things SP? Someone asked about it, so… Maybe, this SP will be.<br />BTW, I can help you with translation ''{{clrr}}

;Confirmed as [[The Sims 3: Outdoor Living Stuff]]
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.
There were postings on Amazon.com and Amazon.fr (pages no longer present) for a 3rd stuff pack named "The Sims 3: Outdoor Living Stuff" (in English) and "[http://www.simcookie.com/2010/10/24/les-sims-3-jardin-de-style/ Jardin de Style]" (in French) for ''The Sims 3'' to be released in February 2011.
The leak at first seems to be fake as the description found in InstantGaming is a direct copy paste from a [https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/957114/a-mysterious-expansion-pack-coming-in-june-2019/p1 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.
[http://www.simprograms.com/ SimPrograms] has run [http://www.simprograms.com/26926/the-sims-3-outdoor-living-stuff-listed-on-amazon/ this posting] stating their belief that the game has moved beyond rumor and is now practically confirmed. EA issued no formal announcement of the game until December 7, 2010, when EA announced [[The Sims 3: Outdoor Living Stuff]].
''[[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.<ref>[https://simsvip.com/2019/06/07/the-sims-4-island-living-first-screenshots-game-description/ The Sims 4 Island Living: First Screenshots + Game Description]</ref> ''The Sims 4: Island Living'' was officially announced during EA Play on June 8, 2019.

;Official description
:''With Generations, Sims of every age can enjoy new activities! Kids can hang out with friends in tree houses. Teens can pull hilarious pranks. Adults can suffer midlife crises. And so much more!''
;Content
:The new Expansion Pack is to include more realistic, family interactions. couples will be able to cut their cake at their wedding, parents will be able to film their toddler walking for the first time, and kids can dress up and play in a treehouse. You may be able to adjust the height of Sims for the first time, but then again this may just be the way the Sims are depicted on the box artwork. This has not been included in the expansion pack.

On December 16, 2014, SimsDomination posted a message on Twitter saying that a new paid DLC pack featuring hiking and camping was going to be announced, and that it would feature a new world called Granite Falls.[1] Shortly thereafter, other fansites including SimsVIP, began looking through information contained in a recent game update and concluded that a new game pack was forthcoming, named The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat.[2] These rumors were seemingly confirmed, though not officially confirmed as of yet, by The Sims' official Twitter account, stating that more information would be forthcoming on Friday, December 19, 2014. The official tweet was also accompanied by a teaser image showing Sims sitting around a campfire in a new world.[3]
A short teaser video was released on December 19, 2014 stating that its release date is planned out to be January 2015.
After the release Patch 17 for The Sims 4, community member "Ti4go" posted a screenshot on Twitter, showing text hidden within the in-game files in Patch 17.[4] The text referring to the new pack is as follows:
Throw a luxurious party and add a touch of style to your Sims' lives with The Sims 4 Luxury Party Stuff.
NEXT WEEK!

On May 11, 2016, several Sims fansites reported that a game pack centered around restaurants, called The Sims 4: Dine Out, was included in a The Sims 4 game bundle on a UK retailer's website.[7] The content of the game pack was hinted at in a short teaser video on twitter.[8]
The third expansion pack to The Sims 4 was first hinted at when a Brazilian fansite revealed a maturity rating similar to the ESRB for the game.[9] Sims Community later released a few screenshots that were send to them by someone called "Sim Nonymous" claiming they were "official" depicting different aspects of the expansion.[10] The email that was send to them contained the following features:
Apartments
Basketball
City Cultural Festivals
Politics Career
All of these leaked features turned out to be true. It was made official when on September 12, the official Sims Twitter account released a teaser for a trailer coming out the next day on September 13.[11]
Pet content was first hinted at in a survey conducted in March 2015.[12] On April 9, a Facebook post hinted towards the idea of a Pets expansion.[13] Shortly after, SimsVIP released a post pointing out the "hints" towards the new expansion in existing game items.[14]
Code related to pets' movement on objects (counters, fridges, etc.)[19]
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.
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.[20] Additionally, a twitter thread shows different EA agents confirming a Seasons expansion pack.[21]
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.[22]The Sims 4: Island Living was officially announced during EA Play on June 8, 2019.
