Do you think 2020 could be TS4's last year?
or do you think it will continue another couple years? Do you want TS4 to continue onwards? https://i.redd.it/pgz1jukoam821.png I am personally waiting for TS5, even with the speculation of it...

While I personally feel like moving on, considering my personnal appreciation of TS4, I can totally understand and relate to those who don't want to move on just yet.
When Appartment life came, and thus, TS2 came to its twilight, I felt utterly good about the series, and how could I not, after such 5 years being spoiled by one great pack after another, memorable sims, countless hours of genuine fun. I was ready to move on, optimistic.
And then came TS3 which marked a significant downgrade in my eyes. The open neighbourhood was naught but a giant stalker-fest, where they would relentlessly send sims to where the one you control was headed, to 'simulate a lively place', I felt as though sims were more and more alike to one another, almost every expansion messed with the neighbourhoods (artists townies after showtime, pets spawning randomly, randomly selected sims became supernaturals, the zombies... those damn zombies!), the relations between two sims remained mutual to the very end, the astrological characters were gone...
They took things away, never gave them back, and don't even get me started on the disrespect TS3 had towards the sim lore...
Now we are at TS4 and well I don't care much for it. But that just shows that change isn't always a good thing, and well it may seem contradictory, but I really understand TS4 afficionados feeling like not changing a formula they like (as much as I'm so ready to put it behind me). After all, had I known what the future looked like, I would've voiced my will to stay on TS2 for the next decade, back on TheSims2.com...
