EA Says 2021 will be another big year for The Sims 4

They say this every year.. and look what we got. (Star Wars for example). It's all just marketing Spiel and PR blablabla.

We are 6 years into The Sims 4 and still to this day there is so much stuff missing. If they only started delivering what people have been asking for for 6 years already.

For example the Skin Tones update where they FINALLY add a slider and also for the Make-Up.. they only did this because of the enormous backlash, not because they thought it would be great to add. If this was the plan all along, it would have been base game.

Hopefully we'll start getting stuff from the surveys now starting with Snowy Escape.

Didn't they said the same thing back in late 2019?

hmm, i think this has been one of the worst years for the franchise. it only got a bit better after the announcement of the skintones update & the newest ep (although it has had it's controversies as well)

I think the latest EP isn't that good and mind blowing either. It looks good, but that is not the problem this game has. It's all about depth and gameplay. Still to this day depth and gameplay falls flat on so many levels.

When looking at the Snowy Escape EP: It looks good, sure. But when I look for substance in terms of gameplay and longevity of the content in the pack.. it again falls extremely flat.

Compare the EP's we got for Sims 2 and 3 to what they bring us in The Sims 4 and you can notice the trend.
And I seriously doubt that is ever going to change because it's just their model with The Sims 4. (unfortunately).

Especially when it comes to their animation budget. It must be very small this time around.

Time to speculate. I am hopeful we'll finally get cars and sims we're not playing asking our sims to marry them in 2021

Cars would be nice. I know for a fact that cars can work in a closed world environment because Sims 2 had cars and Sims 3 Xbox 360 version and Sims 3 Pets Xbox 360 version had them also. And all three Sims games were in fact closed worlds.

I'm hoping for growing pains from the survey with updated babies/kids/teens/elders. I also wouldn't mind a school game pack that adds daycare and schools for kids and teens. A romance pack that adds things around an attraction system. A couple of stuff packs like teen stuff or mansion and gardens.

EA needs to focus on core game features in 2021. Life stages, life states, personalities, and base game improvements.

Another thing that would be nice is that they would focus more on game performance. Such as try compressing some of the larger files so that the game can run much smoother.

I'm hype for 2021. Zombies here we come!! Dungeons and dragons, wearwolves and highschool!! Generations, babies and cars! Happy haunts, fear emotion, apocalyptic world. Underwater mermaid lots, a true alien space pack, a hobbies/ sports pack with tons of interactions between sims. Romance with bed cuddling.Hey a girl can dream ????
