Why Project X MUST be a TS4 Engine Upgrade and Multiplayer

The future of The Sims is Unreal Engine 5 (Fortnite engine)

Why ?

Because Maxis like many studios doesn't have time and skill to develop an engine. CD Projekt had try with Cyberpunk 2077 and REDengine, after 8 years it was broken at launch and 5 years later there are still many bugs. Now CD Projekt use Unreal Engine.

No players would wait for 15-20 years of development of a new engine.
