Sims 411 Recap - Inside Maxis 6th August, 2021

I don't think they are going to place the Sims 4 on the timeline....EAxis has already completely screwed up the timeline that they can't undo the damage. Instead, the Sims 5 should be a necessary reset and continue the franchise lore by taking place directly after the events of The Sims 2.

The NPC (side note...should be called "playable sim" or "premade") Update should add depth and consistency with the identities of classic Sims characters that have made a return in that game. A must-watch video on fixing Sims 4 lore is here.
