What excites me most is that the team is still exploring updates to enhance our gameplay.

My prediction is that Sims 5 will be released after Windows changes so much that the old way of playing Sims will be impossible. I think Sims 4 will last until that change in Windows. I think we will only accept the changes that I expect in Sims 5 when it is all that is possible on Windows. I don't think even EA knows when they will release Sims 5. I think everything is dependent on Windows.

I think Sims 4 has many more updates coming.

Windows is always backwards compatible and I've read on these forums that there are some people still playing TS4 on Windows 7. It will have to be some pretty big changes for Sims 4 to not run on next iteration of Windows whenever that will be.

Yes, it has been, but I don't think versions will be the real issue. I think Windows will follow a path similar to Flash that will be done against our will for "security" reasons. Flash was shutdown overnight, no matter what version of Windows you were using. I think Windows will eventually be some type of a subscription only option, maybe something like Office 365. Or maybe something similar to Chromebooks. Something "secure" that Microsoft can force updates more easily.

I think Sims 5 is going to be something very different from Sims 4. And I think both Sims 3 and Sims 4 might become unplayable at the same time, except for people with Sims 3 disks that can play on a computer that is offline.

But I don't want to get too offtopic. My only reasons to discuss this is an explanation for when I expect Sims 4 updated to end. The OP discussed Sims 4 still having major updates planned. I expect ongoing major exciting updates for quite a while yet. For as long as I don't see any warnings for a major change in Windows. When we start hearing about changes in Windows is when I expect to start hearing more chatter about Sims 5 instead of updates and expansions to Sims 4.
