Do you think 2020 could be TS4's last year?

no. EA put up job postings early last year indicating a new game, at this point i'm assuming concept art phase is done and they've begun creating the engine and all the intricate backend, getting started on what the sims will be like. that will probably take another year. another year for finishing up backend, modeling the sims, starting on all the usual base game additions, clothes, hairs, music, etc. another year for finishing it up, playtesting, bugs, and getting ready for release.

we'll probably see it in 2023, and they're gonna need income to help support the employee's salaries until sims 5 can make a profit itself so nope. we're gonna have a couple more years. which im happy about cause im not ready to go back to a boring ole base game, even if there is open world.

I agree with the sentiment about returning to the base game. I'm not dogmatic in determining what his ideologically pure, but the concept of returning to a base game without pets, weather and vampires is not appealing to me. Clearly this will be the way forward because the DLC partition has been so lucrative. They will make us pay for dogs, snow and bats. Regardless, I don't think I would purchase a hypothetical Sims 5 until the features I want are present.
