How many more years of TS4?

@jackjack_k New careers in CL actually just pertained to using a pc (again) are not my idea of new careers. Yes, I like Sims can work from home, but c'mon all the careers require a pc. TS3 part time jobs and or self employed careers do not require a pc. Everything in TS4 requires a pc. Yes, that is an exaggeration but at this point it really is overkill. Granted the flea market table (which I placed around worlds in the open spaces) were a great object, one of the best objects ever added to any game in my opinion. I wish I had it in TS2 and TS3, but that is about all CL brought to my gameplay since obsession with basketball became too annoying, and obsessive, and once you got to the festivals (especially the romance festival) no need to ever go back. Seen it, done it.

Late Night did something for TS3 it didn't have and that was giving it community lots (open ) that it was sorely lacking and from then on we were able to build 'open lots' and hangouts with any object for Sims to use, and until then they didn't have any bars or clubs to visit, so you can't say it didn't add anything. It also added TS3's attraction system which most don't actually understand like we can TS2's attraction system. TS4 still needs one three year's later. But this game is so politically correct I doubt you would ever see a Sim attracted to another based upon eye color or hair etc. That is probably too taboo for TS4 to judge other Sims own physical attributes. ETA: Apartment buildings (you never had to use shells) are a big deal to those of us who like playing and building apartment buildings, duplexes, condos etc.

I give it another six months.

Do you not use a computer when you work from home? Serious question.

Also, tell me what uses a PC in The Sims 3 that was done differently in 2 or 3. I’m thinking you’re creating a problem that doesn’t exist, honestly.

Hangouts were added with the Ambitions patch, not with Late Night.

Late Night just added NPC staff to venues we already had, that should have been in the base game.


There’s a difference between Apartment buildings that The Sims 2 had, vs the Skyscrapers The Sims 4 has.

It’s already confirmed that Sims 2 style Apartments may come later. Same way that they sort of arrived later with S3 University.


They just launched the game on PS4/Xbox and they are launching The Sims mobile in around 6 months that will use content from The Sims 4.

I’d say you’d be closer to 6 years than 6 months. EA are still exceeding sales and player stats.

This has a chance to be like Elder Scrolls where the game just doesn’t slow down, so there’s no need for a sequel.

Jack , I complained about the over use of the pc in TS4 (for every thing) to SimGuruLyndsay (before she replaced Rachel) a long time ago. It is a problem to many of us who want to see part time jobs not revolve around the pc. In TS3 you dress Sims and give them remakes without ever toughing a pc. You can dig in the junk yard and create and build things to sell without ever touching a pc. You can run a daycare and never touch a pc. There are all sorts of things self employed carers in TS3 you go to City Hall and register as self employed. As a matter of fact the Detective career never touches a pc. Or the ghost hunting one. Military or some other jobs that aren't active never touch the pc. There are so many jobs in TS3 I can't even remember or list them all, and most never have to touch a pc. I'm sure others who are currently playing can tell me and you how many never touch a pc. Whether they are standard or hands on and it makes TS4 look like it can't think of anything outside of using a pc.

On the other point I want to go over, where is the confirmation TS2 style apartments are coming later? Who said that (official) and where? I still think TS4 ends sometime in 2018. ETA: The Sims Mobile is available now for the United States and to best of my memory that is what some were waiting on in that section. Check your emails.
