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

I'm kind of torn. On the one hand, Sims 4's inherit flaws are so baked in and at the core, it's very limited. But at this point, there's no going back and fixing the framework to improve The Sims 4 and help it catch up to older games. The game is growing increasingly unstable and it's clear that we're not going to be getting a lot of the things we need. But at the same time, I live in fear of whatever online, stripped-down monstrosity that might come from Sims 5, and even if it ends up being good, I don't want to wait 5+ years to get essentials like witches and dragons.

Yeah I enjoy sims 4 but I really don't think certain things will ever come to the game just because of how it was built from the start. I think with the sims 5 there is a lot of potential with a new engine. I think there will probably be an online element. Though a lot of people seem to be against on the forums I see a lot of people requesting it online and there is also the huge percentage of players that are not on the forums, twitter or elsewhere. I do hope that they make it separate because I just don't see how an exclusively online life simulator could not turn into a train wreck. Sure there is a few out there but they are completely different from the sims series and wouldn't make sense for them to turn the series into a game like that.

I think they would be smart enough to not lose a lot of players that way. But if the feature is separate and doesn't interfere with the rest of the game I think a lot of people will like it. I probably wouldnt use it that much but that's just me.
