I still don't see Sims 5 coming for years yet. I've looked up news and it's all hearsay at best.
It's all "I heard this" and "Sims games were released about every 4 years in the past so it's sure to be coming out soon." I've searched and there's nothing - NOTHING - even remotely official apart from the vague comments that they haven't written off Sims 5 happening eventually.
Personally I don't think EA will make a Sims 5. Games take about 4 years to make and are expensive - and lately they've been focusing on porting Sims 4 to every other console, so they wouldn't have the inclination to hire a team to work on a whole new Sims 5 when these ports are making them money hand-over-fist. Why rush? EA doesn't NEED to make a Sims 5 game to milk it.
Some people make the argument that Sims 5 could take advantage of stronger computers. Well it's weird, but that's actually what Cats&Dogs just did - up the specs significantly so that you need a more powerful computer. MID-GAME. So future packs are already suddenly capable of taking advantage of higher specs.
They'll probably promote a new port and tell us which EP/GP we'll get next with teaser pictures.
