Maybe they'll get it right with The Sims 4 and include weather and pets as part of the base game?
Anyway, I am excited for this, particularly the Halloween stuff.
With
Supernatural getting a release in September and
Seasons coming shortly after in November, I do wonder if EA is rushing through expansion packs with the intent of killing off TS3 franchise and moving on to bigger and better things?

(Wishful thinking.)
