I found a mention of Sims 5

Let's all focus on what's really important here: AC Valhalla & PS5 are coming holiday 2020 <3

And yeah, at some point in the distant future, so will TS5.

been thinking the same thing also have my doubts will wait until an official annoucement is made @ClarionOfJoy

good morning everyone,

i just found some new info on the sims5 via this link https://levelskip.com/simulation/Its-Confirmed-The-Sims-5-Is-In-Production

I am often criticizing CEOs for "Not having a single clue about their company, their customers, or their products. Seems Andrew Wilson is Exhibit A in that discussion. "Social interaction and competition", "cloud-enabled world", and "subscription-based". What does he think the Sims franchise is--some kind of freemium mobile game? I think he might have it mixed up with Freeplay! That being said, if all these rumors turn out to be true, I feel the competition in development may be very successful; as they seem to know what went wrong (and has always been missing) in The Sims franchise, and cater to that.

Subscription-based services. No way, Jose. I like to pay for a game and have it permanently, not having to pay every month. I don't need online-always connectivity. Didn't they learn when Sim City 2013 flopped? I don't want to invest any money in a game that may become useless in five years. Not counting the forums here, I don't really care at all for "social interaction" in my game. The only "people" my Sim interacts with are other Sims. While quite a few of my Sims are based on models from online retailers, people from stock photos, characters from TV, books, and film (nearly all Gallery Sims). I don't know any of the people my Sims are based on personally, and for the most part, don't even know who they are.

I feel The Sims should never been turned into some competitive game. It's why we moan when we see so many who enjoy other genres come to The Sims and expect it to work like any other online mmo or competitive game. They have thousands of those, let Sims be Sims and not venture out into the competitive world of those who actually prefer rpgs and want all those things in The Sims.

very well said @Cinebar i fully agree 200% with your post

With things as they are - EA's beloved FIFA may have problems when all football is cancelled - I just don't see EA spending money dragging together a new Sims game right now when they can continue safely making a bundle from Sims 4 Packs.

This is all speculation - like IF we get a Sims 5 they'll make it multi-player (and use that as an excuse to have it Online).

In my opinion, 'Multiplayer' will probably mean "visiting another character's town as long as they're playing. Also, an Online Store with a disgustingly high number of items, the usable ones being expensive and the CAS being released on a level of CC".

I too am not a fan of this type of content, but wouldn't this system work as the Store did for TS3? I seem to recall a bunch of complaints regarding that system, but it also seemed plenty of people enjoyed it too. And was there a reason TS4 didn't follow TS3's model (too many complaints about it?). Not being snarky here, I genuinely am interested in what people think about this given the history of similar systems. Thanks!

me will need more info and will the sims5 truly be online i have my doubts on that as a player so will be watching out for more info i apolige for the french word here but as they say in my language (*c'est a suivre) since i do not know the excat english term for the word i use
