On April 22, 2012, they had discovered a new game category "Diesel" on The Sims 3 website, which gave some clues to the stuff pack. They knew that there was a poll in The Sims 3 website from November 2011 which asked "what brands would you like to see in The Sims 3". The choice Diesel had the highest votes and won.https://web.archive.org/20120913081957/rinconsimmer.jimdo.com/2012/04/22/pack-de-accesorios-de-la-firma-de-moda-diesel/ There was also a recent poll that may be related to this stuff pack which asked "what theme would we like for the next Stuff Pack" and the choice Teen Stuff got the highest votes and won.http://www.simprograms.com/40048/sims-3-future-stuff-pack-community-poll-results/

The trailer also features Apartment Life's hidden bookcase door, except that this one slides instead of spinning. This is also the first expansion pack to have more than one life state.

===The Sims 3: Seasons===
;Type
: Expansion Pack
;Confirmed as The Sims 3: Seasons
:This pack has another speculative name which is Weather Days.
SimsVIP rumored it as Weather Days to be the next expansion pack after Pets. This is false due to The Sims 3: Showtime being released after Pets. A leaked trailer was supposedly put up on YouTube but it was taken down shortly after. No other information on this title is known. A fan-made logo was created on SimGoodie to represent the expansion pack.
According to another article reported first on SimPrograms, EA Russia may have leaked some more information as to what the 6th EP is or isn't.http://www.simprograms.com/35801/ea-russia-pets-and-an-interview-with-the-head-of-ea-russia/
The conversation that EA Russia had goes as follows:
:WolfMega: What is the theme of the 6th EP of the Sims 3 If it life again, so it will be like Generations 2.0? Not everybody likes Generations and it’s rather small expansion.
:EA Russia: There are a lot of new interactions in the Generations, just explore it. The next EP is about life, but in another format. It is not similar to any Expansion pack in The Sims 2. The logo contains a black background & light Letters.
:Somebody: Look, there are 3 carousels for kids in Generations: 1st – pirate ship (hint for Pirates & Nobles), 2nd – horse (hint for Pets) and the 3rd – space rocket. Is it a hint for space EP?
:EA Russia: No, but we like your imagination
Some commenter by the name "@leg" on the article claiming to be from Russia that visits the Russian Community pages has responded as follows, disclaiming several possibilities of the 6th EP. The spaced rocket carousel could've probably been a hint for Lunar Lakes.
