I'm really missing Sims 2

sorry to ask a dumb question, but what is a "TM"?

It's the little symbol that is the letters 'TM', which stands for trademark.
In some versions of the game the symbol gets used for the folders that the game uses, and on some versions of Windows you can't create folders that use the symbol. So, as a result, with certain combinations of the game and windows, the game is unable to create its files in your documents.

Although, again, that doesn't seem to be the issue that you're experiencing, considering you're able to create a custom neighbourhood.

LOL thanks; I should have realized that. :P

Does anybody know if and when SIM 5 is planned...? I kind of got a little bored in SIM 4.. not much more to do, except buying further add-ons (which I am not interested in having all of them..)?

Hi :)

Only EA knows when or If there will be a TS5.

Probably never. We would have started hearing something by now, if nothing else gloating over some new supposedly ultra wonderful feature we don't have now. TS2 was still alive and well when hints of 3 started coming out, including the mini game on sims' computers. Four years in on the leaky canoe and not a peep. Although I occasionally send a sim into the jungle of Selvadoria, TS2 is my gaming home away from home.

The Sims 3 was starting to be hinted around the time of FreeTime and there was only one more EP after that. We just may not be at that time. They may have a few more years planned with Sims 4. If they announce Sims 5 is coming too early they risk people not buying Sims 4 as they would call it at the end of its life and wait for Sims 5.

And Sims 2 wasn't even hinted until the last EP of Sims 1 came out.

They could have just given Sims 4 a longer time for EP's and what not.

EA officially announces the next series about 15 months before it comes out. We actually knew Sims 3 was being started when they were showing Open for Business during the E3 as Tim Letourneau let it slip during an interview that after the E3 and Gamescom that year he would no longer be heading Sims 2 and would be working on a new series. EA officially announced it though 15 months before it was due to come out. Sims 4 was officially announced after the 2013 E3 in late June - exactly 15 months before it came out; and then openly talked about it at Gamescom in 2013.
