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

I'd like to see them finally release a big expansion focused on supernatural or fantastical elements instead of keep trying to cram that in a game pack.

Best would be a big supernatural expansion that also expands on vampires and magic at the same time.

Or a science fiction expansion with all kinds of future tech that also includes more star wars things.

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

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

I don't have much hope for the sims next year.Last year they said the same thing .This year was pretty abysmal.

Please o lord no don't do this ea
i really dont need more scifi machiney packs and no more tm

other than that occult and fantasy is very much appreciated though

dragons, werewolves,fairies, updated plantsims, updated ghosty beings.. + some cute evil beings of choice i did not mention but i'll love them all

and some occulty activities like fortune telling rituals seances ouija boards magic shows and such cause idk i feel there is not enough things to do that are occult but not exactly tied to specific lifestate

perhaps graveyards and winged llamas of death and bonehilda and grimmy stuffs would be cool too

Nice. EA didn't give us the exact numbers, but they did say Apex Legends is on track for more than $500 million revenue in FY2021. Let's conservatively say Apex Legends' bar represents exactly $500 million in FY2021, we can estimate TS4's revenues from the chart as follows:

FY2017: $127 million
FY2018: $220 million
FY2019: $277 million
FY2020: $359 million
FY2021: $456 million (this is EA's own estimate since FY2021 is not over yet).

Finally we have some concrete numbers on how much money TS4 has made. The clear upward trend is exactly why TS4 won't end anytime soon - the game is making more money the ever, and ending it while it's still growing is the dumbest decision EA can make.

It wouldn't make any sense profitwise for EA to just end one of their cash cows like that. So TS4 is not going anywhere any time soon as long as it's being in the profits for EA.

“Another Strong year” 2020 was hardly anything like that.
Nonetheless I can only hope for the best, but they’ve disappointed us time and time again ?‍♂️

TS4 made over $350 million in fiscal year 2020 and it was TS4's strongest year since the game launched.

When they say "strong" they mean how it performs financially. It has nothing to do with content release.

Remember that those quotes are always from EA's earnings calls. They're making the statements to their investors/shareholders, not players.

I'm surprised that apex legend still going strong eventhough i havent heard the game ever being mentioned in the gaming news for the past year. I thought the hype is already died down

Yes correct, forgot.

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.

Sentiments could be the first step in a romance system, with preferences or turn-ons/turn-offs. Since the system is being patched into the base game (unlike Lifestyles which will be unique to SE) they're likely going to expand it with future pack content.
