Six slots:
Diesel,
Supernatural,
The Refresh/Seaside Unless they’re two different ones.
Seasons…
And either another SP, or An SP EP, hmmm….
Does Anyone remember when they had sneek peek promo material when TS3 was going to come out? They had one pick that I swear to God was apartment buildings. it also features either a stroller or mower….
Wondering if we’ll still get apartments before it ends?
Wonder if that’s just a glitch he had. If that’s what everyone sees when they download the patch then I guess that means all that’s left is Supernatural, Seaside Stuff, Seasons, another SP (maybe the teen one that won the poll), and one more EP.
Well there goes my entire savings.
They have strollers in generations and apartments in late night already, Jessie.
The apartments in late night don’t work like the ones in sims 2 apartment life. If we get apartments in Universities hopefully several different families can live in them and visit each others apartment.
(Thanks for posting this!)
Note for people who update, the extra icons on the bottom of the launcher go away and go back to normal with Diesel added when the update finishes… how these updates seem to leak out EA secrets. XD
Graham has always insisted that WA was the closest we would get to a Vacation EP, but if demand is high enough, anything can happen.
Gaming polls by third-parties are the best hints to future add-ons.

The refresh is an updated version of the base game, similar to what happened when Pets was released.
I’m more inclined to believe it’s a simple copy/paste job in the launcher code to allow for additions without need to alter the code each update, and not an accurate count of upcoming EP/SP. I’ve done the same thing myself.
They already made their version of apartments in Late Night. They’re not going to make them again. EA doesn’t care if they don’t work the same way. It was their take on apartments.
Hmm I don’t get why people are so going crazy about a vacation EP. We have World Adventures? Isn’t that vacation like enough?
I’d rather see Seasons (which we are getting <3) and something like Open For Business again! I'm not really into a vacation theme EP, since I think World Adventures is enough vacation and to be honest, I never use that content (except for the furniture and stuff).
Sweet Treats was NEVER classified as anything from EA. It isn’t listed as an EP or an SP, why do you think we have Diesel Stuff coming out so soon after it?
@ melissq:
And I know that already also, if I could find the photo I remember from the original Sims 3 promotional stuff, you’d see what I’m talking about. It APPEARS to have a Elderly person PUSHING either a LAWN MOWER or STROLLER, in front of what Looks ALOT like apartment buildings. I said this in my first post also. It had tan buildings, think it was a wall paper or something.
See, those look like apartment buildings. And the old guy has a stroller…SO I still wonder what the EP after Seasons will be, Hope it somehow tosses Own/operating businesses, Buy/Renting homes, Apartments, University, and Farming all together..But that’s getting my hopes up.

That picca you posted is fake. Has nothing to do with The Sims 3. This was what people THOUGHT it would look like lol. 😛
I agree. I think it’s a fake. If I don’t make a mistake, when your add-on are installed, the icons aren’t in grey. When you don’t have a add-on, you don’t see the icon.
Also, the picture seem like the person download Showtime. So it’s not normal that a EP not installed have the icon in grey like the icon of the base game that is normally installed on the computer.

Take a look at the tool bar, if it is faked, that is from the sims 3 , and that pic was released Before it came out.

If universites comes out we may see apartments.
Wow 6 more, I would say 3 eps and 3 sps.
We already know
EP7 Supernatural
SP8 Seaside stuff
EP8 Seasons
Then I think SP9 and EP9 and 6 months later, The Sims 4.
There is some rumor about a real vacation EP
And SP9 should the Teen stuff resulting of the community poll.
We have penthouses, with a bare bones functionality of Apartments. :p
That’d mean only like 2-3 more EPs 😮

Nope..
SP 1 – HELS
SP 2 – Fast lane stuff
SP 3 – Outdoor living stuff
SP 4 – Town life stuff
SP 5 – Master suite stuff
SP 6 – Katy Perry sweet treats
SP 7 – Diesel stuff 😉
The apartments in late night don’t work like the ones in sims 2 apartment life. If we get apartments in Universities hopefully several different families can live in them and visit each others apartment.
EP 10 will be the last one.
Master Suite – SP5
Sweet Treats – SP6
Diesel – SP7
Seaside – SP8
