<blockquote>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]].</blockquote>
 
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.
 
[[File:Sims-4.png|thumb|A edited screen shot of ''The Sims 4'' on [[Origin|Origin]]]]
In April 1st 2012, which is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day April Fools' Day], [http://www.simsvip.com 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:

<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.”

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<ref>Kabuto's The Sims 4 release prediction comment from [http://www.simprograms.com/41959/fact-eas-gone-nuts-rumor-sp-8-due-this-fall/#comment-168832 Simprograms] and [http://simsvip.com/?p=12494&cpage=1#comment-170564 SimsVIP]</ref>:

It mean no pack in 2013 because it’s the end of The Sims 3.
 
If we follow the Sims lifecycle (4.5 years)
 
02/2000 : The Sims<br />
09/2004 : The Sims 2<br />
06/2009 : The Sims 3
 
The Sims 4 should be released after 09/2013
 
So I understand SP8 and EP8 must be the last packs, they must released them before 2013
|}
 
If the rumored ''Seaside Stuff'' pack and ''Seasons'' expansion pack have been announced officially, there will be '''2 more EPs and 2 more SPs''' (some rumors states that The Sims 3 will have 10 EPs and 10 SPs) for The Sims 3 to make.

===The Sims 3: Life Moments===
[http://www.simcookie.com/ SimCookie] members were surfing the PEGI site when they saw the rumored game's name. But it was unknown whether it will be announced or not. Recently, it was launched with a changed name, and now we know it as The Sims 3 Generations.{{clrr}}
 
===The Sims 3: Seasonal Holiday Stuff===
[http://www.simprograms.com/ Simprograms] has rumored the stuff pack but no source was given yet. It can be released before or after a rumored future expansion pack which should be Season-themed. This has been confirmed on EA Summer Showcase 2012. The trailer has been posted on youtube by SimsPlanet2.

===The Sims 3: Seaside Stuff===
[[File:Alexit_seasidestuff.png|thumb|200px|First listing found (Alex.it)]]
'''Simprograms''' found a new listing from an Italian gaming retailer '''Alex.it'''.<ref>http://www.simprograms.com/41959/fact-eas-gone-nuts-rumor-sp-8-due-this-fall/</ref> It is a rumored stuff pack named ''The Sims 3: Seaside Stuff'' for ''[[The Sims 3]]''. It will be released on October 26th 2012 in Europe (estimated North America release: October 23rd 2012) at a price of €14.99/US$18.75. The retailer remove its listing.
 
Most viewers say that it may be a beach-themed stuff pack. A small number of viewers say that ''The Sims 3: Refresh'' is the pack's name place holder.
 
If the stuff pack will turn true, this year (2012) shall be when EA released '''the most number of [[Expansion pack#The Sims 3|stuff packs]] for The Sims 3 in a year''' which is '''4''' (including ''[[The Sims 3: Katy Perry's Sweet Treats]]'').

If you Google "The Sims 3 Generations Expansion Pack", the page for Ambitions (on the top) says "Congratulations! You have successfully registered your The Sims 3 Generations game." This hinted towards the game being announced as true. It is also confirmed at the ESRB Website.<ref>http://www.thesims3.com/game/ep4/systemreq</ref> The Sims 3 Facebook page also released a [http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150146029200079&set=pu.35298715078 photo] that featured spiral staircases, baby strollers, and bunkbeds, which we can see in the trailer (right below this sentence). Generations has a NA release date of May 31st and an EU release date of June 3rd.
 
According to [http://www.simprograms.com/28654/the-sims-3-generations-official-trailer/ SimPrograms], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLDm_FU5EXY an official trailer] has been released. EA has also released [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwPzaX3AiPU their own trailer.]
 
;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.

'''The Sims 3: Unleashed''' was the working title for a rumored fifth expansion pack for ''[[The Sims 3]]'', as well as a rumored console game. On March 11, 2011, [http://www.simprograms.com/28653/the-sims-3-unleashed-official-trailer-coming-october-2011/ SimPrograms reported] that an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDFZupUPZvA official trailer] had been released. The trailer stated that ''The Sims 3: Unleashed'' will be available on October 18, 2011. According to [http://twitter.com/InfiniteSims/status/46516049830617088 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 [[The Sims game rumors#The Sims 3: Pets (fake)|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.''

;Confirmed as ''[[The Sims 3: Katy Perry's Sweet Treats]]''
[[File:Logospain 6thSP edited.jpg|left|75px]]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.<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. However, it was deleted.<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=8276</ref> They have updated on the same post that CD Universe has listed the pack again and this time, it was not deleted.<ref>[http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=8717814&style=games CD Universe's listing]</ref> 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".<ref>[http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/right-click/katy-perry-gets-her-game-sims-153507947.html Yahoo News!

Rincon Del Simmer (a Spanish website for The Sims series news) had found a Spainish 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.<ref>[http://rinconsimmer.jimdo.com/2012/03/29/confirmado-los-sims-3-katy-perry-dulce-tentaci%C3%B3n-accesorios-primeras-im%C3%A1genes/ Rincon Del Simmer post to the pack (Spanish)]</ref><ref>[http://simsvip.com/?p=8946 SimsVIP post from Rincon Del Simmer]</ref>

'''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 seperate 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 22nd, 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.<ref>http://rinconsimmer.jimdo.com/2012/04/22/pack-de-accesorios-de-la-firma-de-moda-diesel/</ref> 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.<ref>http://www.simprograms.com/40048/sims-3-future-stuff-pack-community-poll-results/</ref>
 
Before the announcement, the pack's listings from various game retailers from around equestria can be seen. The stuff pack was confirmed and announced<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=10578</ref> on May 10 2012. It will be released on July 10, 2012.[http://www.diesel.com/sims]
 
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_%28brand%29 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.

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.

On June 3rd, 2012 a listing<ref>[http://www.amazon.it/The-Sims-Supernatural-Limited-Ed/dp/B008813F14/ref=sr_1_52?ie=UTF8&qid=1338739595&sr=8-52 Amazon Italian listing (dead link)]</ref> for the rumored 7th Expansion was discovered on Amazon Italy.

On June 11th 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 [http://www.youtube.com/user/EAsingapore EAsingapore] on June 13th 2012.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qfi_acgyO3U</ref>
 
The trailer shows that the expansion pack has 4 playable [[life state]]s which is [[Werewolf]], [[Witch]]/Warlock, Fairy and [[Zombie]]. It also shows a [[Gypsy]] Fortune Teller/Medium NPC and [[Vampire]]s. 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 [[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.

:''This pack has another speculative name which is '''Weather Days'''.''
[[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]].

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.
On July 20th 2012, two readers from '''SimsVIP'''<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=13223</ref> found two more listings from '''Toys.ie'''<ref>http://www.toys.ie/The-Sims-3-Seasons-EP8-PC-!125104-prd.aspx</ref> and '''Smyths.com UK'''.<ref>http://www.smythstoys.com/the-sims-147sc/the-sims-3-seasons-ep8-pc-125104itm.aspx?qwSessionID=c6ce95f1-405a-4c49-8b48-184f51e241e9</ref> Both listings are on normal edition.

On July 28th 2012, a SimsVIP poster '''[http://simsvip.com/?author=3 Penelope]''' made an article naming ''Official EA/Sims Hints @ Seasons''.<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=13470</ref> He said that EA had tossed out some possible hints at the rumored pack.

On July 30th 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.<ref name="NewEgg Lists The Sims 3 Seasons!">NewEgg USA's listings [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832130314 on Limited Edition] and [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832130312 on Combo]<br />http://simsvip.com/?p=13545</ref>
 
On August 1st 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 2nd 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, eg: Halloween).
 
Also on August 2nd 2012, EA uploaded the Sims 3 Seasons trailer on youtube, showing winter sports, holiday festivals, snowball fights, changing seasons, kissing booths, easter egg hunts, rain, umbrellas, lightning, puddles, robots, sunburs, soccer, swimming in the ocean, rainbows, pie eating contests, pumpkins, fog, leaf piles, apple bobbing, costumes, trick or treating, pumpkin smashing, and finaly aliens. At the end where they show the Sims 3 moto, It says Ply with Seasons, snow, hail, sun, puddles, stunts, bobbing, pumpkins, tricks, treats, masks, eggs, snowbalss, igloos, scarves, tans, gloves, skates, hats, goggles, rafts, dives, burns, costumes, feasts, gifts, blossoms, goals, sports, gifts, sweaters, rain, water, air, and Play With Life.
 
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 13th 2012''', probably the North America release date.<ref name="NewEgg Lists The Sims 3 Seasons!"></ref>

The release dates from the sources differ. Uberkonzol's listing shows that it would be released on June 22nd 2012 which is impossible because the date had passed. gameshop.hu's listing shows its release date as August 17th 2012.
