Rumors about new ''Sims'' games and titles, as well as new expansion and stuff packs for ''[[The Sims 3]]''.

==Rumors==
===The Sims 4===

{{see also|Forum:The Sims 4 predictions}}

<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:
{|style="width: {{{masterboxwidth|67%}}};" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
|- style="vertical-align: top;"

<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.
{{clrr}}

===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. Other source was not yet to be given. It can be played on a Nintendo Wii and a Nintendo 3DS.
{{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.
{{clrr}}

===Season/Weather-themed expansion pack===
:''This pack has two speculative names which are '''Weather Days''' or '''Seasons'''.''
[[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 a 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 18th 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 9th 2012 for Europe (the possible North America release is on November 6th 2012). All of these listings were removed from the site.

Meanwhile on June 21th 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. '''[http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Flemag.rueducommerce.fr%2Fhigh-tech%2Fjeux-videos%2Felectronic-arts-nous-devoile-ses-hits-de-noel.html 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.<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=12298<br />''The program of festivities for this year-end 2012: '''The Sims3 “Seasons,”''' Medal of Honor Warfighter, Need for Speed Most Wanted and Fifa13!''<br />Acclaimed by fans of Sims 2 in February 2007, the extension “Seasons” returns Nov. 16, 2012 in Sims3. To you, snowball fights, snow in the winter before returning to the cottage, summer water sports or lazing by the pool of your villa … watch out for sunburn!''</ref> Finally, a user from SimsVIP found another French listing from '''[http://www.jeuxvideo.com/ Jeux Video]''' for the same pack.<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=12302</ref>

On June 22th 2012, '''Rincon Del Simmer''' found listings from two different Hungarian gaming shop websites.<ref>http://rinconsimmer.jimdo.com/2012/06/23/m%C3%A1s-tiendas-catalogan-estaciones-y-the-sims-3-refresh/</ref> '''Konzolvilág.hu'''<ref>[http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:wxFWtCQ9dPoJ:www.konzolvilag.hu/pc/jatekok/elorendelheto/13+&cd=6&hl=es&ct=clnk&gl=es]</ref> has three listings of the pack (in three different editions) while '''GameShop.hu'''<ref>[http://87.248.112.8/search/srpcache?ei=UTF-8&p=%22The+Sims+3+Plus+Seasons%22+Gameshop&rd=r1&fr=yfp-t-705&u=http://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?q=%22The+Sims+3+Plus+Seasons%22+Gameshop&d=4724155409109142&mkt=es-ES&setlang=es-ES&w=193302e8,f97c4b36&icp=1&.intl=es&sig=GJCcSn96iATOfmWOlfDSvA--]</ref> has only one (the combo pack edition).<ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=12382</ref> It is unknown however if all the listings were removed.

The release dates differ from different sources. So far, only three release dates were shown, all on the same month of November: 9th (from Uberkonzol), 15th (from Jeux Video) and 16th (from Le Mag, Konzolvilág and GameShop) 2012.

===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]]'').

''The Sims 3: After Dark'' was rumored to be the 3rd [[expansion pack]] for ''The Sims 3''.

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.

[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.

;Type

;Confirmed as ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]''

'''The Sims 3 Generations''' is the fourth expansion pack for ''[[The Sims 3]]''. According to [http://www.infinitesims.com/news/4159/sims-3-expansion-4-leaked-coming-may-2011/ InfiniteSims], who was wrong, this new expansion pack could have possibly been announced February 25, 2011 and its official release would be sometime in May 2011.<ref>http://www.infinitesims.com/news/4587/the-sims-3-generations-ep-4-rumours/</ref> On the official [[TheSims3.com|The Sims 3]] website, at System Requirement, you see under games, the word, "Generations". 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.

;Confirmed as ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]''

'''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.''

===[[The Sims 3: Katy Perry's Sweet Treats]] Stuff Pack===
[[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>

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 officialy announced by EA. Instead of being released on '''June 12 2012''', it will be released on '''June 8 2012'''. <ref>http://simsvip.com/?p=8650</ref>

===[[The Sims 3: Diesel Stuff]]===
[[File:Diesel-2.png|thumb|right]]

'''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.

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.

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.

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[1]. However, that is the only information available.

A edited screen shot of The Sims 4 on Origin

In April 1st 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:

EA REVEALS FIRST DETAILS OF NEXT-GENERATION FLAGSHIP PC GAME - The Sims 4 Gives You Complete Freedom, Inspiring You With Endless Creative Possibilities.

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[2]:

It mean no pack in 2013 because it’s the end of The Sims 3.

If we follow the Sims lifecycle (4.5 years)

09/2004 : The Sims 2
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

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. Other source was not yet to be given. It can be played on a Nintendo Wii and a Nintendo 3DS.

The Sims 3: Seasonal Holiday Stuff

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.

Season/Weather-themed expansion pack

This pack has two speculative names which are Weather Days or Seasons.

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.[3]

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 a 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 18th 2012, SimsVIP listed an article citing back to Sims.Mixei.ru.[4]

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 9th 2012 for Europe (the possible North America release is on November 6th 2012). All of these listings were removed from the site.

Meanwhile on June 21th 2012, Les Sims Wiki found a listing for the pack in Amazon France.[5] 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.[6] Finally, a user from SimsVIP found another French listing from Jeux Video for the same pack.[7]

On June 22th 2012, Rincon Del Simmer found listings from two different Hungarian gaming shop websites.[8] Konzolvilág.hu[9] has three listings of the pack (in three different editions) while GameShop.hu[10] has only one (the combo pack edition).[11] It is unknown however if all the listings were removed.

The release dates differ from different sources. So far, only three release dates were shown, all on the same month of November: 9th (from Uberkonzol), 15th (from Jeux Video) and 16th (from Le Mag, Konzolvilág and GameShop) 2012.

The Sims 3: Seaside Stuff

First listing found (Alex.it)

Simprograms found a new listing from an Italian gaming retailer Alex.it.[12] 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 stuff packs for The Sims 3 in a year which is 4 (including The Sims 3: Katy Perry's Sweet Treats).

Domains such as 'simsmedieval.com' and 'thesimsgetmedieval.net' were purchased on May 26, 2010. Infinite Sims speculate a release of January - March 2011 if this is a new 'The Sims' title[25]. SmartSims (Dutch site) has reported that a bunch of 'The Sims 3 Realm' domains has been bought. A release of this game is rumored to be March 24, 2011[26][27]. This date puts it close to the rumored launch of the 3rd stuff pack.

2010 EA Showcase
Main article: The Sims 3: Late Night/studio showcase

Attendees at the event got a sneak peek at EA taking The Sims through space and time[28] 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 RPG's than the life simulation we know[29]. SimPrograms, and soon after The Sims Resource, pulled the articles from their websites the same day they were posted[30], with TSR giving an explanation where the article used to be.

Expansion Pack
Confirmed as The Sims 3: Generations

The Sims 3 Generations is the fourth expansion pack for The Sims 3. According to InfiniteSims, who was wrong, this new expansion pack could have possibly been announced February 25, 2011 and its official release would be sometime in May 2011.[32] On the official The Sims 3 website, at System Requirement, you see under games, the word, "Generations". 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.[33] The Sims 3 Facebook page also released a 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 SimPrograms, an official trailer has been released. EA has also released 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.

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.

It has been rumored on SimPrograms that the next The Sims 3 stuff pack will be Master Suite Stuff, similar to high-tech stuff, with more expensive objects. A release date was rumored also, February 10th, 2012. Other than that it isn't know if that's really true.

On October, 21 two listings for The Sims 3: Master Suite Stuff were discovered on EA's EULA site[38], and the news from Simprograms. In early November 2011, Singapore's Media Development Authority appoved The Sims 3: Master Suite Stuff.[39]

Showtime was confirmed as a new Expansion pack on December 6, 2011 with a listing for the game on TheSims.com.

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.[43][44]

One of Mod The Sims member has spotted something at Origin that might be a sixth expansion pack, that has SimsVIP reported on it.[45]

The rumored stuff pack appears in EA Russia, but it was removed.[46]

SimsVIP has found that a retail shop know as CD Universe had listed the product. However, it was deleted.[47] They have updated on the same post that CD Universe has listed the pack again and this time, it was not deleted.[48] 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".[49] 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.[50][51]

SimsVIP had found another listing of the pack from a different retail shop, known as overstock.com.[52][53]

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.[54][55]

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 officialy announced by EA. Instead of being released on June 12 2012, it will be released on June 8 2012. [56]

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 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.[57][58]

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.[59] 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.[60]

Before the announcement, the pack's listings from various game retailers from around equestria can be seen. The stuff pack was confirmed and announced[61] on May 10 2012. It will be released on July 10, 2012.[3]

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

The Sims 3: Supernatural (Russian)

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.

They had added posts on spoilers that may link on the expansion pack.[62][63] They found toys from buydebug that they think it comes for the next expansion pack[64] and game effects were recorded and uploaded on YouTube by them but was taken down afterwards.[65]

On June 3rd, 2012 a listing[66] for the rumored 7th Expansion was discovered on Amazon Italy. It's listed as the collector's edition with the release date of September 7th, 2012. It was also listed on Alex.it[67], Buy.it and Webster.it.[68]Its rumored name is The Sims 3: Supernatural.

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 EAsingapore on June 13th 2012.[69]

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: Refresh

SimsVIP found listings of the game/pack from three different gaming retailer sites (both may be from Hungary).[70] 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 22nd 2012 which is impossible because the date had passed. gameshop.hu's listing shows its release date as August 17th 2012.

On July 8th 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.[71] On July 16th 2012, SimsVIP mentioned this.[72]
