The Sims 4

In April 2010, an EA employee leaked information on Twitter that development of The Sims 4 had begun. However, that is the only information available.

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:

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 :

If the rumored Seaside Stuff pack and Seasons expansion pack are announced officially, there should be 2 more EPs and 2 more SPs (some rumors state that The Sims 3 will have 10 EPs and 10 SPs) for EA to release.
