How much longer can you tolerate Sims 4's lifespan?

I've never been on the 5 hype train and won't be until it is announced, so I am more than content to sit here and watch what 4 does. I was the exact same with 1, 2, and 3.

I love the sims 4 but I think there is a lot of things that would never happen in this game so I look forward to a new game and a new engine and new possibilities.

I haven't had the chance yet to play with and explore all of the expansion packs and stuff packs so I'm quite happily ticking by with the Sims 4 for now.

I can't even begin to pin a time frame to something that's yet unknown. I currently have no interest in Sims 5. Whether it's a matter of days, weeks, months, or years all I can say is that I'll play Sims 4 as long as it holds my interest. The end.

I bought the game in 2014 and I have played it back and forth for 7 years.

Keeping a game alive with content and updates will keep you playing until you start to get tired of it... and when the updates are not great and the content feels lacking, then I start to lose interest in playing the sims 4. Everything feels the same for me now.

I need larger changes and more game development to keep me interested. Some new clothes and chairs are not enough, even new worlds are starting to feel the same.

I've done this 4 times already and have no desire to start from scratch.

I chose an average answer cause i'm fine playing 3. I will be curious about 5 when/if it's out, but i don't think i'ld buy it. It'ld need to be devoped by a completelly different team for me to believe in it. I don't believe in this team's criativity and ability to make a game I would be interested in.

I don't particularily look forward to ts5 cause i have no reason to assume its any better than ts4

and also because id rather not start the waiting game over when all I want in ts4 could be added in like 4 well made packs and few bigger updates and it could be such a good game

i could have picked the last option too but i don't like thinking that far ahead cause they could still add something that butchers the whole game as well...or turn it into unsolveable buggy mess like they did with ts3

Same. Actually whenever a new game came out, I lamented that I wanted more content/fixes. I was never quite ready to start over, so my gameplay overlapped a lot. I was still playing Sims 3 until two years ago, and Sims 2 until just a few months ago.

Edit: I've actually gone back to alternating between 2&4. So I'm set for awhile.

"Tolerate"...?

I don't "tolerate" the Sims 4. I play it.

People "tolerate" things in life they have no control over. Last time I checked, playing the Sims 4 game is a choice, something we each have control over... Not an enforced thing one must "tolerate" due to a lack of any other options.
