Uh, yes. It's the 20th Anniversary of the Sims. That is a HUGE achievement. They can't not celebrate it- that would be a disgrace to Will Wright.

They already disgraced all his work with TS4 tho. ?

Will Wright didn't even want to make a sims 2 he wanted to stop at sims 1 so I'm fine with them not doing what he would have done
also he got the idea for the sims from another guys work so it wasn't all his idea a lot of people worked on the game and helped make the sims what it is here's a video of the game that gave will the idea for the sims

oh and yes I do think they will do something for 2020 I just have no idea what it will be :)

Still with TS2 they knew what they did and did an amazing job plus they surpassed the level of TS1.

yes sims 2 is good but I wouldn't give will all the credit

I really wish for something game-changing and significant, but I try to keep my hopes low, so I won't be disappointed. It would be cool if they added a forgotten feature from The Sims 1 or The Sims 2, though.

@GalacticGal Oh, I don't think its entitlement. They aren't doing that for free, we pay for the game and we have the right to demand quality. EA isn't an indie company run by starving developers, its one of the biggest franchises in this world of ours. They should at least hear our complaints about bugs and fix them, there are packs with bugs for a long time, like Dine Out. Of course, there are those simmers that go beyond the acceptable limit, but it isn't particular to this fandom.
And, on the 20th anniversary matter, its hard not to expect something. Its a historic mark for the franchise, I would make something remarkable if it was in my power, but I'm just one of the many who have been here since the beginning of the franchise, not a dev.

Off topic: I just noticed your Star Trek related fanfic mention there... I'm happy to see writers in here, are you a SW fan too? I didn't get the chance to watch the movie yet... If you like SW and watched it, is it as bad as everyone is saying?

I'm a SW fan on a very limited basis. The first three films back in the late 70s were okay, with the second one being by far the weakest entry. (I find the overall storytelling light weight and shallow, on the whole.) I liked the first of the newer entries, but it all went quickly downhill for me from there. I was very off-put by the relationship betwixt the Princess and the soon-to-be dark one. It was gross when she mentioned she would always remember him as that ten year old boy. (Ick. Awkward, get that image out of my head!) I fear that Lucas' rather acrimonious divorce robbed him of any real sense of romance for life. So, no, I haven't gone out to see a film in quite some time, and certainly not that one. Sorry.

As for EA handing out freebies, while I do know they're not a starving indie company, they owe us fixes and that's about all I want for the anniversary. Something they should have already seen to. We do pay real money to play their games and they should remember we're the reason they're not some indie start-up company. Fix the things you broke, that were once fixed but are now broken again, please. Please make it so my Sim doesn't waste precious Sim seconds just standing there (with or without their finger up their nose) as if there isn't any activities queued up for them. Fix it so the game doesn't lock-up periodically. I've got a 64-bit system and lots of RAM. Why, EA, why?

Well, it is their 20th, so it should be something big like freeing infants.❤️

I wish.

Heresy!

Didn't they release anniversary objects during a Sims 3 expansion to celebrate the 10th? I seem to remember that tacky Livin' Large bed being redone..

(But that bed was legendary -- introduced "Playing in Bed", later known as Woohoo, to the series!)

It would definitely be nice to see something big come out of the 20th anniversary of the series.

it would be nice to see a big expansion pack for once

magic realm and island living were so underwhelming for 2019 for me. university was not great with its rabbit hole instead of more actual gameplay. felt incomplete.

i hope 2020 will be better, more than 20th anniversary to be honest

Can you elaborate?

well there was the people who talked him in to making the sims 2
the programmers and artiest producers and lots of people that came up with all the great ideas together
also the voice actors that helped make simalish what it is to day the band that plays the songs
the sound makers I could go on

any way we should find out in a month or so if we get anything

I expect we get something, but not sure if it will be something big that changes gameplay (cars perhaps) or something small like a few cas items or object recolors.
I'll just patiently wait and hope for the best.
