New Rumor Suggests The Next Sims 4 Expansion Pack Could Be Its Last

by

EA has repeatedly stated that Project Rene isn’t The Sims 5. It’s planned as a separate game that will focus on mobile play and multiplayer, and will exist alongside The Sims 4. Recently, as EA works on fixing problems in The Sims 4, talk of a remastered version has started. Now, new information suggests what the next big expansion pack will be about, and hints that it could be the final one for the game.

According to the Sims news site Sims Community, several reliable sources are hinting at what’s coming in The Sims 4 in 2026. While these details haven’t been officially confirmed, they suggest the next major expansion could be the last one for the game. Insiders are also indicating that this 21st expansion, expected to launch next year, will likely be the final one for The Sims 4.

The Sims 4 Insiders Suggest Next Expansion Will Be Royalty-Themed

Let’s take a look at the rumors surrounding the next big expansion pack for The Sims 4. The recent “Adventure Awaits” expansion was released in early October, and since then, EA has been working on smaller content packs and fixing problems with the game. While the Sims 4 team hasn’t officially announced details about the next expansion, some people with inside knowledge believe they know what it will be.

As we previously announced: The main content for The Sims 4 is finished. After Expansion Pack 21, only updates and smaller content packs will be released. Expansion Pack 21 will center around a royal theme, featuring three different kingdoms, with one inspired by African cultures. Originally, the plan was to include a full African world for free, but that idea was unfortunately cancelled.

A reliable Sims insider, @phii_oda, recently shared potential details about the next expansion pack. They said it will center around a royal theme, with players able to choose from three different kingdoms. This sounds similar to The Sims Medieval, a popular spin-off game from 2011. While not mainstream, The Sims Medieval had a dedicated fanbase, and many players, like myself, would be excited to see a refreshed version if these rumors are accurate.

Okay, so this “royalty pack” sounds a little different than most Sims 4 expansions. They’re saying it might add multiple worlds, which is unusual – usually, we only get one new world per expansion. But the person who leaked this info, @phii_oda, has been right before, so who knows? For now, I’m taking it with a grain of salt. I’m not planning my royal Sim family just yet! It sounds like EA probably won’t officially tell us anything about the next expansion until early 2026.

The Sims 4 “Major Content is Done” According to Insider

Along with revealing details about an upcoming kit, Sims 4 insider @phii_oda and others suggest the game’s development is slowing down. The influencer predicts we’ll only see updates and smaller kits after the next major expansion pack. This contrasts with EA’s previous statements that The Sims 4 will continue to be the main focus of the franchise. However, other sources have also hinted that the game is nearing its end.

Rumors suggest that EA is planning a remastered version of The Sims 4. If true, this could revitalize the game and the franchise as a whole, though it would likely be a significant overhaul of the current version. This might also mean that new content currently in development is being saved for the release of the remastered game. However, EA hasn’t officially confirmed anything, so for now, it’s all just speculation.

Beyond regular improvements and bug fixes, EA hasn’t revealed much about what’s coming for The Sims 4 later this year. We’ve seen a SpongeBob SquarePants collection and a few smaller updates, but recent releases have mainly focused on resolving issues. If past trends continue, we can likely expect new expansion packs in 2026. However, recent rumors suggest there might be fewer major updates than fans are used to.
