Meh...I dunno lol. I have not been here for a long while (lol I got my ninth anniversary badge when I logged in).....to be honest I was just randomly searching YouTube for like the sims 5.

I saw the jungle adventure pack, looked interesting and that lead me back here. To be honest they could have produced some more content for the sims 3 and likewise they took so long to add the missing features in the sims 4, that I lost interest midway (what are we like 5 years in now?). Anyway lol I was just passing through and peeked in out of interest. Hi to any that remember me lol.

It will just be 4 years come September. Sims 4 came out in September the second, 2014 and that was just for pc. It took another 2 years for Mac. So Sims 4 is not even 4 yet.

Open neighborhoods should be the next step IMO. I think they realized the resource mistake with sims 3, which is why sims 4 went back to basically a sims 2 "plus" model. I feel like they could've gotten away with open neighborhoods, since it's generally 4-5 plots anyway (thought I would like slightly larger neighborhoods... say like 7-9 plots) and wouldn't have been TOO resource heavy and still have the open world feel.

And now I have toddlers stuffpack thanks to some extra money I had left on my pre-made mastercard....I now own all packs. I'm happy I can run them all lol.

The Mac version was released 5 months later, in February 2015.

If a Sims 5 is ever released I am not getting it.

I honestly just wish they could stop at TS4 and simply keep upgrading it.

The Sims 5 can really be a hit-and-miss. It will either save (or improve, depending on your view) the series, or kill it completely. With EA's recent shenanigans, you can't never be sure. They might bring beloved features back, but bring in something horrible that will lead it to the trash can. They could also just make it mediocre, making not a giant improve over The Sims 4. It can be better, but not good enough.

You could be either excited for The Sims 5, or fear the possible bad things it might do. Or, like other people have said before me, just don't care about it and not buy it.

But TS4 has been running longer than any other iteration! And the weird thing about it is that it's least popular with the most restrictive gameplay of them all with the least amount of creative tools. TS1 through TS3 had more stuff in them in the shorter period of times that they were developed! Dragging on the development of this horrible iteration is PAINFUL for everyone else waiting for TS5. At least EA should start talking about developing TS5 so that the rest of us can look forward to it with some hope and excitement.

Except this is not true. It's evidently very popular, spawning videos from big Youtubers and even being in news and articles a few times. It has made allot of achievements in the series for it's ease of building, gender options, lack of restriction for clothing and adding monthly content to the game. They've been improving on slmost everything they've brought back from previous iterations and every pack has been content packed, I honestly wonder if people who say TS4 has less stuff actually used any of the EPs or GPs, even the SPs have more content at a cheaper price tag. At this point, EA should focus on their fans and giving them the content they ask for, I personally don't plan on paying for a base game and tons of add-ons for a fifth iteration.

Sims 2 was out 4 yrs and 8 months - PC, Mac, and console. Had a sims store for 2 + years

Sims 3 was out 5 yrs and 3 months -pc. Mac, and console.Had a Sims store for most of it's duration.

Sims 4 has only been out thus far 3 years and 9 months. On top of it, it's console version has only been out 1 year and it's Mac version a year and a half. It has no Sims store, but does get Free content.

(another simmer said the Mac version of Sims 4 came out sooner - I just went by what was wrote - lol as I don't run a Mac.)

Three more years, Or the Next three, years, that doesn't say the Sims 4 has three more years of it's life.

It has no limit unlike previous engines that had built in expansion limits. Sims 4's engine did not need these limits. So as long as it keeps performing so well and as the Maxis heads said in the beginning - "they'd keep building Sims 4 as long as it was feasible to do so" - it really has no limits. They have said that every since Sims 4 came out. It had always been part of their vision, and they never tried to hide that. That's the one thing they always shared. LOL.

I look forward to what we get next but right now I am really loving Seasons.
