I'm so disappointed the sims is potentially ending next year,

I didn't say I know more then you do? Like...what? You said and I quote "the one wanting Preteens are childish and most likely a preteen." I said I'm not a preteen and want Preteens in the game. 

Matter of fact I've been wanting Preteens in the Sims Franchise since Sims 2 so the height of Sims 4 teens I don't have a problem with some simmers. 

These are false rumors being spread by gossips. It's already been dubbed as misinformation by the company.

I've been wanting preteens for about a decade and I'm middle aged. Speaking of I'd also like a middle aged life state because that's just as jaring going from 40 to 80 as it is going from 8 to 18. 

I would like a middle aged life stage as well lol. 

Would middle aged not just be the adult life stage? Am I missing something here? I feel like there’s not much that sets YA and above apart.. maybe they need a rework instead.

I agree with wanting a preteen stage. I always thought of the adult stage as the middle age stage. I like that they came up with some new body details for elders, but it's a bit dramatic, in my opinion. Of course, what isn't dramatic about the Sims?

Regarding the end of Sims 4, what I read and understood from the newsletters was that there will not be any more new Sims base games, ie. Sims 5. They plan to continue with the Sims 4, but it will be mostly focused on improvements and occasional upgrades to game play. I would personally enjoy a more refined game. I'm also not opposed to getting a better gaming system to accommodate future improvements and dlc. I would love it if they did a revamp on Neighborhood stories and gave more autonomy to the NPCs. I hate having to use mods to get that.

It's just some simmers who play say that when a Adult sim have a child then  they age up to elders and they die before the their child ages up to teen or even a child. 

Also middle age would be better for crossing off the bucket list since they can retire just like elders but at least they are not overexerted like elders be when they do things. Middle Aged would enjoy retirement, go on vacations, like I said scratch things off the bucket list. Also be a young grandmother call it the the Senior Lifestage. 

I see the problem. I usually turn off aging to combat that. I also agree that elders seem too fragile for life activities and Adults should have the option to retire, as well. I'm really disappointed with the bucket lists. I don't mind getting a suggestion for my sim, but I don't like that it automatically fills it in. Also, I thought the life fulfillment meter was supposed to be connected to that, but it just automatically fills up, as well. I have a teen sim that has reached their peak life fulfillment and there is no possible outcome than to be given the option to be reborn with Life and Death. The whole thing is just a waste of code. Truly disappointed. It could have been so much better.

Ending? Though The Sims 4 is looking very dated graphically, Even if you take into account that they are trying to aim for a larger range of hardware (not just high end). Things like the lack of proper grass just a flat plane and the low-poly modelling.

I've played all The Sims games since the first one was released, so I'm not a youth, and I don't want any preteens in my game. Totally unnecessary like I already wrote. 😆
