2024 how would you feel?

If I can still run sims 4 well, yes, I don't see why I wouldn't play it in 2024. The way I play, it's mostly my own imagination used to come up with story lines and using the sims to play them out. I don't see me tiring of that unless the game won't run smoothly. I also might be playing any other games within the genre that'll be released, but I think it's naive to believe that paralives will replace the sims at this stage. It's not just that we haven't seen the people, the only things we have seen are cool build videos, with nothing that resembles a ui or anything required for a working game. It just isn't finished enough for anyone to tell if it'll be any good.

I also don't want to buy Pets and Seasons again any time soon if at all. I have some interest in a functional open world but not to the point of wanting to start all over with the same content.

@KaeChan2089 Just imagine if they gave us more for TS3 and perhaps a few bug fixes or even, dare I say it, allow the game to run on 64bit?

Now that would be awesome! :smiley:

I'm in the boat of players that don't think the packs are half hearted, I personally think the EP's we've been getting are fairly solid additions, naturally I wouldn't mind development of this game up until 2024, this would give them plenty of time to add in most things players have been requesting. That being said I also wouldn't mind news of a Sims 5 release before then (fingers crossed the Sims 5 will be the definitive Sims game we've all been wishing for). As for paralives, so far the build mode looks incredible, but we haven't seen anything on live gameplay so I'll reserve my opinions until then.

Sims 4 is finally beginning to improve & has many more potential for more themes & growth.

If The Sims Studio would like for me to continue being positive about The Sims 4 in terms of gameplay depth, I would like for them to engage with the community a lot more. I expect:

At least weekly discussions in regards to the polls they give out to us.

Even more different, varied polls about the game and how things can be improved.

A lot more engagement from the SimGurus/Sims Studio staff on the forums. Talk with us, ask for feedback, chat about development... anything...

I am OK with surprises but all this hush secrecy is getting ridiculous.

By then both Sims 5 and Paralives will be out.

I really love these ideas @Hestia!

Personally, I wouldn't mind, but then, I just started getting into it. I have picked up each and every ep, sp, and gp when they were released, but didn't play hardly at all in favor of The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. Now, I am finally getting into it. I'm starting to get used to how different it is compared to ts2 and ts3, and most of all, I'm finally having fun. It's no skin off my banana if they keep this one going, as long as it works.

Honestly, I still play Sims 1/2 to this day and would've loved more packs being released at least for Sims 2/3. Sims 3 just can't handle any mroe ocntent or it will explode, but for me every Sim-gen has to have a 10 year life cycle, but better than Sims 4 is having so far... No more half-baked packs and base game, but I think Sims 5 will be released in December 2021, but I think we'll still get 2 more expansion packs in 2021 before Sims 5. Maybe the last one will be released in September
