In all honesty, I think they're addressing the lore now because they realized how much many simmers want lore. I don't think TS4 was ever meant to be a part of the original timeline and when they realized many people wanted lore, they said it was an alternate timeline.
With this new "alternate timeline," that is TS4, where will that leave Project Rene/Sims 5? Will they double down on this lore, or will they completely forget TS4's timeline, and make TS5 continue the original? And also, why now after nearly a decade? Is it a hint at a lore overhaul? So many questions and very few answers.
I do hope they understand how lore is important to many people. I used to be really interested in Sims 2 and Sims 3 lore (mainly 2 cause it was much deeper) but in Sims 4 I barely follow cause the stories are very shallow in comparison.
I'm relatively new to The Sims in general, only started with TS3 (around a year before Supernatural came out). It wasn't until TS4 came out, that I discovered Mortimer and Bella were married.
When TS2 was offered for free years ago, I got it and discovered all of the games kind had a timeline and lore. Once I learned that, I was intrigued and began watching theories of Bella's disappearance, the timeline, etc.
As a sucker for an origin story, I was fascinated by the lore, only to discover TS4 doesn't really have any relation to the original timeline. It may seem a bit too late now but I would gladly welcome a lore overhaul. And I hope they stick to the original timeline for Project Rene/TS5, but I have a feeling it's going to get even farther from it.
I'm trying reserve judgment for TS5 because it's so early but I don't have high hopes that it will focus on the original lore of the previous games. Please EA, prove me wrong. Make me eat my words, I'll gladly do so....with salt. ?
