2024 how would you feel?

I think I still would play it, I have every pack so far and even if I got most in bundles or on sale, its a good amount of money I have spent on it. And I am not willing to pay all that again just for sims 5...
They try to improve and I feel that things are better after the big patch in december, and I still believe it will become better in the future. And the latest survey gives me hopes for a better personality and memories etc.

I play a lot of older games and I don't mind it. World of warcraft for example, I played for 13 years. I stopped because I just dont feel like an mmorpg person anymore. Or Rainbow Six Siege, it's in it's 5th year now and still new content us coming and events. I still enjoy playing it like on its first day and I wish for many years to come.
I think nowadays it's more common for a company to keep up with the games they made, it's so easy to fix bugs now (rememver Sims 1 or 2, you had to wait for fixes until you bought the newest expansion).

Also, having an older game makes it more likely that you still can play it on your potato PC even after years. WoW i played for 8 years on the same PC and it still worked. Low graphics and lags included and of course the companies at some point have to overhaul some graphics, but its more likely you still can play.
New games tend to look more fancy and not every PC might catch up with that, so yeah. Just my opinion^^

I don't expect I"ll be playing Sims 5 unless they revamp their whole release concept and give us some things that were in EPS in the base game like basic weather, basic pets - IE, I am NOT going to pay for weather a fourth time and pets a fifth time. It would also need to have at very least open neighborhoods, the ability to place our own lots, and a color wheel or palette for players to choose their own colors. Sims 4 has less options than Sims 3 in those regards but it's far far more stable and takes less time to load and that's really the only reason I play it. If they give us even less in Sims 5, I will just stick with 4 thank you very much.

if there is a sims 5 this would be my main reason for not playing it. Granted, I've only played 4 and medieval so i've only bought seasons and pets once, but still.

I will still play the game. It's a good game, although it's not the greatest. I really like it. TBH, I don't think that I'll go to a different franchise to play a life simulation game. However, as the game is keep on growing, I hope that they could pause for a while & look for things that they really need to do to keep the interest. Besides, TS4 is not the only game I play. I play RPG, MMO, action, to name a few.

It's hard to say how I will feel four years from now. I'm ready for Sims4 to end simply because I'd like to play without the hassle of monthly updates. If more is done to improve Sims4 before Sims5 comes out, I won't be in a bug rush to buy a new base game. Been there, done that four times in twenty years. Plus we have no idea what Sims5 will look like so to say I will or won't take a chance with another Sims game is unrealistic. Nothing has been revealed about Sims5 so I have nothing except speculation on which to base a decision that may or may not need to be made four years in the future. If the past is any indication of my future with the franchise, I will probably continue playing Sims4 until I see the direction of Sims5 and how dlc and updates are handled.

I still play a heavily modded Skyrim (2011 release). Two days back, I fired up Bayonetta (2009). Heck, I still jump into WoW (2004). I'm betting I'll still fire up TS4 every now and then in 2024. Hell, with the insane amount of packs and content the devs keep throwing out, I'd be reluctant to jump to a potentially anemic TS5. Having to wait for supernaturals, pets, seasons and the like all over again sounds tiring at this point.

New game in the sense of Sims 5?
Quote me. 2024 or 2025 are reasonable years for it. We are still far away from sims 5. They just started to develope it in 2019 or the end of 2018.
They shall take their time because:

1.It shall be polished when it comes out
2.What do I want from a base game. I would wait 3 years of pack and patches releases to get a descent game. Before that I will play sims 4. So actually it will take longer for me to buy the game...but i will buy it- cuz i love that money grabing franchise.

I would buy sims 5 straight on release if the multiplayer rumors are true. So many of us waited for this. Also to all of those who dont want it. Dont use it. Its an option (CEO said)

I couldnt wait to play with my mate

I enjoy TS4 and would rather them work on it more and keep adding things (I mean terrain tools were late 2018 and we just got modular stairs 2019) then starting all over. I wouldn't even buy TS5 anyways until it was fleshed out more. Also I still play TS2 (and so many other old games) so a 'ten year old game' isn't an issue?

@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?

While TS3 really isn't my favorite... lord please? If they are going to keep it in their store at full price they could at least figure out a way for it to use RAM properly.

How would you feel if by 2024 we still had no new game and just more half hearted packs.I mean I get it’s a good seller but are you really going to play a 10 year old game? When there a competition out there in the form of para lives

Well, I'll play any game I enjoy, and given that they seem to be looking at how to make the sims themselves more interesting, maybe by then it would be a fun game.

Meanwhile, there are a bunch of games I'm looking forward to. Well, at least one at this point, but I'm sure they'll be more by 2024.

What I'm looking forward to is Sims 2 and 3 coming to android. I mean, if we're going to dream, we may as well dream big. I'd buy an expensive phone for that. Maybe they'll even include mod support or at least not fight someone else creating it.

Really, they'll have at least a MP spinoff out by then. I won't be playing it, but maybe it will be their next cash cow.

I love The Sims. From the very first game up until now. I’ve played them all through and through and definitely got a lot of life out of them. And more to come. I’m super excited for the future though. More expansions, or maybe the sims 5. Whatever that may bring. I would still play the sims 1 if it would run on my computer. Sadly my sims 2 games are long gone. And right now I don’t financially have the means to get them all back (BUT I do want to do they some day). I still have my sims 3 games but when computer got a facelift I lost all my game’s. I was in such disparate that I just looked to the future and moved on to the sims 4. And this was only 3 months ago that I actually ever played the 4th installment. So I played the sims 3 5+ years past it’s successor. So I definitely see the sims carrying on for years for me.

TS4 can be here as long as it takes TS5 to be an awesome game. I don't want them to rush the game because of Paralives competition. I don't want them to release a half baked game again because they think they ran out of time.
