2024 how would you feel?

I will be playing if I’m still having fun with the game, sure. Age doesn’t really matter to me; I still play Morrowind on occasion and I love it.

I still play 2 and 3 so I definitely expect to be playing 4 in 2024. Whether or not it's still being developed. That's if the good Lord sees fit to keep me around. :p

Given that I still play 2 and 3 in addition to 4 on the desktop and Freetime and the mobile version on my phone (when I actually have time to play--unfortunately, real life has a habit of limiting that), unless something drastic happens or unless I lack any free time to play anything at all, I don't see myself not still playing Sims in some incarnation in the future. I'd likely even still play Sims 1 if it was possible to play it on my current desktop or made compatible to play it on "newer" hardware and operating systems.

I'll sure still be playing it ????

Why not? Quite a lot left to explore, so more than happy for that. Besides, if it means Sims 5 is more fleshed out for those who are desperate for it, to try and quash complaints, why not?

I'd be fine with it. I'm absolutely not interested in Sims 5, so Sims 4 can go on forever for all I care.

Yes it has a lot of flaws, yes TS2 and TS3 are way better, but I've spent so much money in Sims 4 already that I don't want them to move on. I want the game to improve and it has been.

I'll probably still play Sims 4 because the next level will have a whole new sets of problems & require a whole new advance computer game machine to play it.
NO THANKS TO SIMS 5.

I'm also looking forward to taking advantage of all the awesome mods and custom content. I only use UI Cheats now because I don't want to deal with all the updates.

I'd be feeling happy about plenty of interesting new packs and to not have to start on basics again so soon

but then again I don't expect them to halfass them packs

id also be happy because if ts5 comes out 2025 I'm sure it'd be much more fabulous game due to longer time in making (assumed they are working on it) and technical development (also 5 +5 just sounds good)

I don't care about the age of a game, as long as it's still solid. And frankly, even if Sims 5 came out by 2024, I'd still be sticking to Sims 2 & 4 for the time being. Why start over?

If Paralives is released by then though, and it has better witches than Sims 4, then I'll be jumping ship.
