The Sims 4's next season of content is business as usual with two kits, a death-themed expansion, and another log-in rewards event

The Sims 4 turned 10 this week and to celebrate the occasion it's *checks notes* business as usual, apparently. EA published a list of patch notes—longer than usual, thanks to that bug-defeating task force it had announced—and also rolled out a roadmap for the next suite of Sims 4 DLC, appropriately named the season of «To Be Continued». This train don't stop, folks.

Rather than being coy with cute teasers like with the just wrapped Season of Love, the season of To Be Continued is all names and dates forward. Here's what's coming:

According to the EA blog post, that's the content we're getting for September through December.

The one-two punch of $5 kits coming in a couple weeks is to be expected. We've gotten plenty accustomed to those, like the simultaneous castles and goth outfit kits earlier this year. 

The reaper's rewards event is one of the newer types of content drops that began for the first time earlier this year with the Happy At Home event. If this new rewards event works like the prior one, we can expect a handful of free items that you can earn for booting up The Sims 4 a few times per week for several weeks. The Happy At Home rewards were mostly reskins of items that are otherwise only available in expansions which is nice enough. Given that this one seems to be themed to match the upcoming expansion, I wonder if it will reward us with existing items or upcoming ones.

«Speaking of Grim, the fan-favorite hooded figure will make an appearance in the Life and Death Expansion Pack,» EA says of the pack itself, calling it «an endless journey through life and beyond.»

Honestly, I'm a little surprised that we're getting an entire life and death themed expansion pack. What kind of new neighborhood world is going to come along with that? I would guess, given the release date, that it'll be themed around Día de Muertos. But we did just get the Lovestruck expansion with its Mexico City-inspired world so it would be surprising to see them headed there again. The
