Re: ❄️Snowy Escape❄️ Official Live Stream - Let's Watch Together!

I like the idea of the school uniform in the game it’s finally something I can actually relate to as I find it so odd sending my sims to school in normal clothes. In the uk it’s usually the norm to wear a school uniform and when I left school I found it hard at college (not university, it’s a bit like the last 2 years of USA high school) wearing normal clothes and got more stressed at deciding what to wear. At least with uniform it takes that out of the equation.

@Erpe It’s really literally been said, that the life span of Sims 4 will be different (longer) than for its predecessors. I believe it was GuruDrake who said it, on these forums. It isn’t speculation, it’s based on a statement (it left me quite hopeless I must confess, because it even sounded like they were aiming for a ten year anniversary).

The only thing I have seen is a statement where they said (and I believe that it was Graham who said it) that we shouldn’t expect the same schedule for the packs as we have been used to. I understood that statement as we shouldn’t expect 2 EPs a year anymore but instead a GP and some SPs. They later then began to make two GPs each year instead of only one and I thought that the reason was that EA’s top had been very satisfied with the sales numbers for the first GPs and therefore had told the developers to increase the number of GPs. I also saw signs that EA’s top weren’t very satisfied with the sales numbers for EPs and therefore feared that they would tell the developers not to make any more EPs at all. But instead it seems that EA’s top decided to still make about one EP each year but only reduced the budget for that EP such that EPs now have less content than the EPs for TS2 and TS3 used to have. This make me still fear that EA’s top will decide not to make EPs at all for TS5 though.

I have been surprised that so many in the forum instead understood their statement about the changed schedule for packs as they would release packs for TS4 in several more years and it for me looked like many in the forum understood it that way just because they thought that EPs now must have become more difficult to make such that it would take more years to make all the usual EPs for TS4 too. But I just never have believed at all that EA’s top reduced the number of EPs for such a reason and I am sure that EPs for TS4 instead have been even easier and cheaper for EA to make because of their reduced content. So I am sure that the problem instead has been that EA can make 2 GPs for the same money as EA earlier used to make an EP. But 2 GPs likely give EA bigger income from their sales than just one EP does. Therefore I also don’t at all believe that EA again will increase the number of yearly EPs.

@ebuchala I don’t think that EA just stops making EPs when they aren’t profitable anymore because EA has never done that. Instead EA has always stopped already after 5 years even though EA easily could have sold many more EPs. Also EA could have made more EPs for the previous basegame even after EA had released the next basegame. But EA hasn’t done that either. So if we want to understand how EA plans things then we have to ask why not?

So I have conseidered this and I think that EA looks at things much more broadly instead of just considering possible profit for each pack. The problem for EA here must be that EA knows that if they release too many packs within too short time then many simmers will just stop buying everything and the packs will just steal customers from eachother. Therefore EA has decided not to release packs for more than a certain amount of money each year. But EA likely just add the prices for all packs and doesn’t count just EPs like so many in the forum seem to do.

So again I think that EA’s decision about when to release the next basegame is based just on the same considerations as earlier and the problem here mainly is that after 5 years it has become difficult for EA to attract new customers to the current game. Therefore EA has always planned to release a new basegame after almost exactly 5 years and I just don’t see why EA should have made different considerations now. Of course it is possible (at least theoretically) that EA considered to not release TS5 at all or not in the next many years or that EA has postponed the release of TS5 because the development of TS5 has given EA unexpected problems. I just don’t find that very likely.


Ah, @JoAnne65 I seem to recall the same thing from Drake but didn't remember well enough so didn't mention it. I really have had the impression from the start they're trying to extend this version as long as possible.

I believe profitability is a major, if not the major defining factor in deciding when to stop producing something for any company. But I would also assume that functionality fits into that--meaning by the time we had all EPs and SPs for TS3 released, Maxis was stating in the launch box that we shouldn't have all of them installed or we could expect a degradation in performance. I'm fairly sure the engine design for this base game as well as the way the packs are being produced and released is a very large tell regarding their life expectancy for TS4. Between both profitability and performance with the addition of each new pack, I'm sure you would find the equation for when that decision is made. And, really, based on what's been stated, this entire version run is supposed to be different than previous ones so I'm not sure why you're clinging to the idea that they're going to handle it the same as past versions. Plus, it all boils down to the fact that we simply don't know what all they use to determine when it's time to make that move so it's all just grand speculation anyway.

But you ignore the fact that a new basegame with a completely new game engine always has taken them at least about 4 years to finish. So EA’s top has taken that decision back in most likely 2015 after seeing that the sales numbers also for TS4 were high enough to start making TS5.

Your statement about EA not wanting to release too many packs in too short of a time seems to speak more to my point, as well. It shows that they're trying to extend the lifetime of the game, in my opinion. I actually did a quick tally in another thread about prices for TS4 to show how profitable this game is in it's current iteration versus starting a whole new version. They currently have a functioning (for the most part) engine in place with a base game that's past it's initial premium cost and is now sold at a heavily discounted price but, still sold. At this point, you estimate (US currency) $40 per EP each year (anywhere from 1/2 to 2/3 of a full AAA title), 2-$20 GPs each year, and at least 3-4 $10 SPs each year. For a single game with a lot less work than it costs to produce a whole new AAA title, they're making between $40 and $110, easily per Simmer almost guaranteed (not to even mention new customers or old customers who come back and buy later like what happened when Toddlers were released). Compared to an unguaranteed $80 per person for a new game that might flop. At some point the new game makes sense but don't fool yourself into thinking it doesn't all boil down to money/profit in the end.

Just compare the price for buying all the packs for TS4 in a year with the price for buying all the packs in a year for TS2 or TS3 and you will see that buying all the packs is still the same each year. So EA hasn’t changed anything in that area. The change only is that EA now releases more but smaller packs compared with the earlier games. Therefore I still think it most likely that EA will announce TS5 this summer and to be released in the second half of 2019.

EA has made several experiments though. For TS3 EA experimented with objects in the Sims 3 store and in both 2012 and 2013 by releasing even 3 EPs each year. But it now seems clear that EA has decided that stuff is best sold in SPs. Also it seems that EA then decided that 3 EPs were way too many and that it would be much better to only release 1 EP each year but then compensate by releasing 2 or 3 half sized EPs too (and to call them something else like gamepacks instead).

That EA then also decided to make the EPs smaller (and most likely by reducing their budgets) just shows that EA now thinks that EPs are much less important than SPs and GPs are. So I even think that EA is considering to stop making EPs completely. But why should EA then decide that TS4 need 20 more SPs and a few more GPs just to give new simmers more to choose from before EA releases a Sims 5 game which most likely has been under development since about 2015?","body@stripHtml({\"removeProcessingText\":false,\"removeSpoilerMarkup\":false,\"removeTocMarkup\":false,\"truncateLength\":200})@stringLength":"203","kudosSumWeight":1,"postTime":"2018-03-21T10:22:02.000-07:00","lastPublishTime":"2018-03-21T10:22:02.000-07:00","metrics":{"__typename":"MessageMetrics","views":0},"visibilityScope":"PUBLIC","placeholder":false,"originalMessageForPlaceholder":null,"isEscalated":null,"solution":false,"entityType":"FORUM_REPLY","eventPath":"category:the-sims-4-en/category:the-sims-en/category:ea-forums-en/community:tghpe58374board:the-sims-4-general-discussion-en/message:2294168/message:2294289","repliesCount":0,"customFields":[],"readOnly":false,"editFrozen":false,"body@stringLength":"8499","rawBody":"

I wouldn't worry about it being TS5 yet. I think some people who really dislike this version have their wishful-thinking caps on, is all. Maxis has been pretty clear that they're following a different release schedule/pattern for dlc with TS4 and, even more recently, that they'll be offering plenty more content for this game. I really do think they plan on continuing with this version for awhile yet to come.

There is no doubt that TS4 will get another EP, a GP and at least 4 more SPs which is quite a lot. But this doesn’t prevent EA from announcing TS5 in a couple of months and then release it about 15 months later in the second half of 2019. So I think that the wishful thinking is mostly done by the dreamers who want TS4 to continue to 2022 or even later ;)

Graham said the they follow a different schedule with the packs for TS4. But we already know that because we have seen that at least half of the usual EPs now are replaced by both the new GPs and by many more SPs. Again the wishful dreamers instead overinterpretate the statement to mean a guarantee that TS4 will continue forever until TS4 even has more EPs than TS3 got ;)

But, this is the speculation section so, like everyone else, I'm just speculating. Either way, I'm interested to see what they're planning next for the Sims.

I have followed this debate closely and I am not especially interested in TS5 even though I don’t play TS4 anymore. The reason is that I don’t think that the release of TS5 will stop the changed schedule with many smaller packs instead of a lot of big EPs. Actually I fear that TS5 won’t get even a single EP but only GPs and even more SPs than TS4 got.


It's not wishful thinking. It was already stated they will keep making packs for sims 4 until it no longer makes sense. What that means exactly is speculation, but I believe it means either until the game gets too clogged up, it stops making money, or they have a new idea they can only add with a new sims because the engine limits them.

Even Grant on the First page says Sims 4 isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I wouldn't worry about it being TS5 yet. I think some people who really dislike this version have their wishful-thinking caps on, is all. Maxis has been pretty clear that they're following a different release schedule/pattern for dlc with TS4 and, even more recently, that they'll be offering plenty more content for this game. I really do think they plan on continuing with this version for awhile yet to come.

There is no doubt that TS4 will get another EP, a GP and at least 4 more SPs which is quite a lot. But this doesn’t prevent EA from announcing TS5 in a couple of months and then release it about 15 months later in the second half of 2019. So I think that the wishful thinking is mostly done by the dreamers who want TS4 to continue to 2022 or even later ;)

Graham said the they follow a different schedule with the packs for TS4. But we already know that because we have seen that at least half of the usual EPs now are replaced by both the new GPs and by many more SPs. Again the wishful dreamers instead overinterpretate the statement to mean a guarantee that TS4 will continue forever until TS4 even has more EPs than TS3 got ;)

But, this is the speculation section so, like everyone else, I'm just speculating. Either way, I'm interested to see what they're planning next for the Sims.

I have followed this debate closely and I am not especially interested in TS5 even though I don’t play TS4 anymore. The reason is that I don’t think that the release of TS5 will stop the changed schedule with many smaller packs instead of a lot of big EPs. Actually I fear that TS5 won’t get even a single EP but only GPs and even more SPs than TS4 got.


It's not wishful thinking. It was already stated they will keep making packs for sims 4 until it no longer makes sense. What that means exactly is speculation, but I believe it means either until the game gets too clogged up, it stops making money, or they have a new idea they can only add with a new sims because the engine limits them.

I actually think that I read that statement a long time ago. But I only read it as one of those meaningless statements that people often say when they don’t have a real answer. Also I didn’t put more meaning into it because I know that it isn’t the devs but instead EA’s top who make such decisions and it is unlikely that EA’s top already had made a more accurate statement to the devs at the time. So “until it no longer makes sense” likely just meant “until EA has told us to release TS5 instead” or “until TS5 is so close to be released that more packs for TS4 won’t make sense anymore”

Even Grant on the First page says Sims 4 isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Wasn’t that a long time ago? But anyway: That is obviously true because they still will release packs for TS4 at least a year more. Most likely until late in the spring of 2019. And besides even TS3 hasn’t gone anywhere yet and its packs are still sold by EA for high prices ;)

Maybe not. But I think that many simmers overinterpretate those statements because they forget that the developers only are making the games.

I'd settle for open neighborhoods with loading screens going between neighborhoods/worlds. I don't want to go back to being stuck in the same world for entire generations, or moving to another world but losing all your existing family/friend relationships like in Sims 3.

Not to speak ill of the departed, but it feels like the game did take a turn for the better with the change in management, meaning when Rachel Franklin left and we got Lyndsey Pearson who is a Sim veteran. The Sims is a unique game -- unlike games where you have a definitive end, the Sims are endless. Even if your original Sim dies, you can pick up and go one with any other Sim in the game. Barring save corruption, you can play the same save for years; I'm sure there are players who have been playing the same save since September 2014 when the game released. (not me, I've got too short an attention sp...oh look, shiny!). I think that takes a certain perspective and attitude that can't be easily found in the game industry.

Actually even in Sims 3 you don’t have to with mods (and cheats, nothing easier than repairing a friendship in the game), I can repair family trees just fine now with Mastercontroller. I’m convinced they are capable of creating a world way bigger than a TS4 neighborhood and connect them. Not in the least because a moderator even managed to do it with the TS3 worlds. It’s possible so I won’t settle for much less (the worlds don’t need to be as big as Sims 3’s, but they’ll have to be as open and immersive for me).


Even with mods, when my Sim and his alien half-brother moved from Sunlit Tides to Isla Paradiso using the in-game system, they still arrived as just Good Friends and totally lost the family relationship which basically ruined my planned storyline. And they were totally cut off from their family back home. In Sims 4 I can move my YAs to San Myshuno and still able to call the parents in Newcrest to meet at the Diving Pelican in Windenburg to have dinner. Can't do that in Sims 3. And what about the players who don't want to use mods?

I wouldn't mind seeing a bit better time management -- there should be at least some sort of passage of time when traveling between neighborhoods and worlds, but I don't want to be sitting and watching a taxi driving down the road taking up gameplay time.","body@stripHtml({\"removeProcessingText\":false,\"removeSpoilerMarkup\":false,\"removeTocMarkup\":false,\"truncateLength\":200})@stringLength":"203","kudosSumWeight":1,"postTime":"2018-03-22T13:07:18.000-07:00","lastPublishTime":"2018-03-22T13:07:18.000-07:00","metrics":{"__typename":"MessageMetrics","views":0},"visibilityScope":"PUBLIC","placeholder":false,"originalMessageForPlaceholder":null,"isEscalated":null,"solution":false,"entityType":"FORUM_REPLY","eventPath":"category:the-sims-4-en/category:the-sims-en/category:ea-forums-en/community:tghpe58374board:the-sims-4-general-discussion-en/message:2294168/message:2294292","repliesCount":0,"customFields":[],"attachments":{"__typename":"AttachmentConnection","edges":[],"pageInfo":{"__typename":"PageInfo","hasNextPage":false,"endCursor":null,"hasPreviousPage":false,"startCursor":null}}},"ModerationData:moderation_data:2294293":{"__typename":"ModerationData","id":"moderation_data:2294293","status":"APPROVED","rejectReason":null,"isReportedAbuse":false,"rejectUser":null,"rejectTime":null,"rejectActorType":null},"ForumReplyMessage:message:2294293":{"__typename":"ForumReplyMessage","author":{"__ref":"User:user:93503"},"id":"message:2294293","revisionNum":1,"uid":2294293,"depth":1,"hasGivenKudo":false,"subscribed":false,"board":{"__ref":"Forum:board:the-sims-4-general-discussion-en"},"parent":{"__ref":"ForumTopicMessage:message:2294168"},"conversation":{"__ref":"Conversation:conversation:2294168"},"subject":"Re: If something new is shown at EA Play regarding The Sims Franchise, what do you think it will be?","moderationData":{"__ref":"ModerationData:moderation_data:2294293"},"body":"

@Erpe It’s really literally been said, that the life span of Sims 4 will be different (longer) than for its predecessors. I believe it was GuruDrake who said it, on these forums. It isn’t speculation, it’s based on a statement (it left me quite hopeless I must confess, because it even sounded like they were aiming for a ten year anniversary).

The only thing I have seen is a statement where they said (and I believe that it was Graham who said it) that we shouldn’t expect the same schedule for the packs as we have been used to. I understood that statement as we shouldn’t expect 2 EPs a year anymore but instead a GP and some SPs. They later then began to make two GPs each year instead of only one and I thought that the reason was that EA’s top had been very satisfied with the sales numbers for the first GPs and therefore had told the developers to increase the number of GPs. I also saw signs that EA’s top weren’t very satisfied with the sales numbers for EPs and therefore feared that they would tell the developers not to make any more EPs at all. But instead it seems that EA’s top decided to still make about one EP each year but only reduced the budget for that EP such that EPs now have less content than the EPs for TS2 and TS3 used to have. This make me still fear that EA’s top will decide not to make EPs at all for TS5 though.

I have been surprised that so many in the forum instead understood their statement about the changed schedule for packs as they would release packs for TS4 in several more years and it for me looked like many in the forum understood it that way just because they thought that EPs now must have become more difficult to make such that it would take more years to make all the usual EPs for TS4 too. But I just never have believed at all that EA’s top reduced the number of EPs for such a reason and I am sure that EPs for TS4 instead have been even easier and cheaper for EA to make because of their reduced content. So I am sure that the problem instead has been that EA can make 2 GPs for the same money as EA earlier used to make an EP. But 2 GPs likely give EA bigger income from their sales than just one EP does. Therefore I also don’t at all believe that EA again will increase the number of yearly EPs.

@ebuchala I don’t think that EA just stops making EPs when they aren’t profitable anymore because EA has never done that. Instead EA has always stopped already after 5 years even though EA easily could have sold many more EPs. Also EA could have made more EPs for the previous basegame even after EA had released the next basegame. But EA hasn’t done that either. So if we want to understand how EA plans things then we have to ask why not?

So I have conseidered this and I think that EA looks at things much more broadly instead of just considering possible profit for each pack. The problem for EA here must be that EA knows that if they release too many packs within too short time then many simmers will just stop buying everything and the packs will just steal customers from eachother. Therefore EA has decided not to release packs for more than a certain amount of money each year. But EA likely just add the prices for all packs and doesn’t count just EPs like so many in the forum seem to do.

So again I think that EA’s decision about when to release the next basegame is based just on the same considerations as earlier and the problem here mainly is that after 5 years it has become difficult for EA to attract new customers to the current game. Therefore EA has always planned to release a new basegame after almost exactly 5 years and I just don’t see why EA should have made different considerations now. Of course it is possible (at least theoretically) that EA considered to not release TS5 at all or not in the next many years or that EA has postponed the release of TS5 because the development of TS5 has given EA unexpected problems. I just don’t find that very likely.


Eventually, every game engine reaches its limit where it can't handle any more content. If you're a completionist and want all the content that's released, it's going to start to bog down your computer especially if you're trying to get by with a less powerful computer (especially if you're low on RAM). That's what happened to a lot of players in Sims 3, especially those who bought a lot of stuff from the Store as well as the EPs and SPs. With only one EP a year, supplemented by smaller GPs and SPs and with no store content to clutter things up, maybe they stretch out Sims 4 for an extra year or two. If there is a Sims 5, my theory is that we might see it in 2020 coinciding with the 20th anniversary of The Sims series. That would mean that the game engine is currently in development or possibly close to completion to give the game developers plenty of time to create the actual game -- and considering all that was missing in the Sims 4 base game, I'm willing to give the devs as much time as they need to get things right.","body@stripHtml({\"removeProcessingText\":false,\"removeSpoilerMarkup\":false,\"removeTocMarkup\":false,\"truncateLength\":200})@stringLength":"203","kudosSumWeight":0,"postTime":"2018-03-22T13:19:46.000-07:00","lastPublishTime":"2018-03-22T13:19:46.000-07:00","metrics":{"__typename":"MessageMetrics","views":0},"visibilityScope":"PUBLIC","placeholder":false,"originalMessageForPlaceholder":null,"isEscalated":null,"solution":false,"entityType":"FORUM_REPLY","eventPath":"category:the-sims-4-en/category:the-sims-en/category:ea-forums-en/community:tghpe58374board:the-sims-4-general-discussion-en/message:2294168/message:2294293","repliesCount":0,"readOnly":false,"editFrozen":false,"body@stringLength":"5163","rawBody":"

They haven't even released Seasons yet.

I think there are three things to be discussed - Sims Mobile release, and whatever game pack is out this quarter, while also fielding questions about this year's EP.

You see, while some people clamour for Sims 5, EA knows that it can appeal to many more new customers than Sims 5 would get for their money, by employing porting teams. You see, the younger audience IS on the phone apps.

There's a good reason the Devs would want Sims 4 to last. You see, Triple-A Devs are in a pretty lousy position when it comes to job stability. As soon as a game is complete, their jobs are pretty much over. Bye-bye, don't let the door hit your plum on the way out. A sequel with an identical engine is their only chance, and not much of a chance at that. When Sims 4 was made, a whole new team was brought in for a whole new engine, and then the Sims 3 staff got laid off.

No way is it just EA who treats devs that way. So Devs are not going to turn to their employers and say \"We're out of ideas, I guess you've got to pay us to make Sims 5 now\" cuz for sure they won't be on the team making it. And I'm not knocking at the Devs for it either. That's what happens when you don't have a union.


I think standard game developer rules don't really apply to the Sims. Look at how many of the SimGurus have been around since Sims 2 and even the original Sims game. Much of the current functions remain the same, even if the game engines change; you still have the programming for interactions between Sims, or between Sims and objects, character design and such. And it costs a lot of money to dismiss employees and bring in new ones; depending on the company, you'll have vacation/sick time to cash out, 401(k)s that have to be transferred which could mean stock options being held in an 401(k) have to be converted, etc. It's like the old song \"Cheaper to keep her\" -- if you've got a good employee it's cheaper to hang onto that person rather than replace with someone who might turn out to be a lousy worker who spends most of his/her time surfing the Web.

As for who will continue to buy Sims 4 packs? I will, and probably many others, in case Sims 5 is beyond our current computer specs and we're not sure if we can afford an upgrade right away when Sims 5 is released. I bought Into the Future even though I knew Sims 4 was coming in a few months. And I might even wait to get a Sims 5 base game anyway if it's missing key features like toddlers.

I wouldn't worry about it being TS5 yet. I think some people who really dislike this version have their wishful-thinking caps on, is all. Maxis has been pretty clear that they're following a different release schedule/pattern for dlc with TS4 and, even more recently, that they'll be offering plenty more content for this game. I really do think they plan on continuing with this version for awhile yet to come.

There is no doubt that TS4 will get another EP, a GP and at least 4 more SPs which is quite a lot. But this doesn’t prevent EA from announcing TS5 in a couple of months and then release it about 15 months later in the second half of 2019. So I think that the wishful thinking is mostly done by the dreamers who want TS4 to continue to 2022 or even later ;)

Graham said the they follow a different schedule with the packs for TS4. But we already know that because we have seen that at least half of the usual EPs now are replaced by both the new GPs and by many more SPs. Again the wishful dreamers instead overinterpretate the statement to mean a guarantee that TS4 will continue forever until TS4 even has more EPs than TS3 got ;)

But, this is the speculation section so, like everyone else, I'm just speculating. Either way, I'm interested to see what they're planning next for the Sims.

I have followed this debate closely and I am not especially interested in TS5 even though I don’t play TS4 anymore. The reason is that I don’t think that the release of TS5 will stop the changed schedule with many smaller packs instead of a lot of big EPs. Actually I fear that TS5 won’t get even a single EP but only GPs and even more SPs than TS4 got.


It's not wishful thinking. It was already stated they will keep making packs for sims 4 until it no longer makes sense. What that means exactly is speculation, but I believe it means either until the game gets too clogged up, it stops making money, or they have a new idea they can only add with a new sims because the engine limits them.

I actually think that I read that statement a long time ago. But I only read it as one of those meaningless statements that people often say when they don’t have a real answer. Also I didn’t put more meaning into it because I know that it isn’t the devs but instead EA’s top who make such decisions and it is unlikely that EA’s top already had made a more accurate statement to the devs at the time. So “until it no longer makes sense” likely just meant “until EA has told us to release TS5 instead” or “until TS5 is so close to be released that more packs for TS4 won’t make sense anymore”

Even Grant on the First page says Sims 4 isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Wasn’t that a long time ago? But anyway: That is obviously true because they still will release packs for TS4 at least a year more. Most likely until late in the spring of 2019. And besides even TS3 hasn’t gone anywhere yet and its packs are still sold by EA for high prices ;)

The Graham quote you are mentioning and this quote are TWO different quotes. Nobody is confusing them for each other.

Maybe not. But I think that many simmers overinterpretate those statements because they forget that the developers only are making the games. They aren’t the top managers in EA who decide which games to make and when they are released. So statements from the devs about such thing are usually vague and based on their own private guesses which they avoid to state too explicitly though.


I think the teams have a bit more input in what gets made than is implied. Basically, they get the budget for a pack (EP, GP or SP) from upstairs then they discuss ideas and choose a theme, working within budget limits to produce content. The Community SP project really gave a great look at the process of producing a pack, just a bit more stretched out because of the need to get community input instead of yelling at each other over a white board.

But, this is the speculation section so, like everyone else, I'm just speculating. Either way, I'm interested to see what they're planning next for the Sims.

I have followed this debate closely and I am not especially interested in TS5 even though I don’t play TS4 anymore. The reason is that I don’t think that the release of TS5 will stop the changed schedule with many smaller packs instead of a lot of big EPs. Actually I fear that TS5 won’t get even a single EP but only GPs and even more SPs than TS4 got.


It's not wishful thinking. It was already stated they will keep making packs for sims 4 until it no longer makes sense. What that means exactly is speculation, but I believe it means either until the game gets too clogged up, it stops making money, or they have a new idea they can only add with a new sims because the engine limits them.

I actually think that I read that statement a long time ago. But I only read it as one of those meaningless statements that people often say when they don’t have a real answer. Also I didn’t put more meaning into it because I know that it isn’t the devs but instead EA’s top who make such decisions and it is unlikely that EA’s top already had made a more accurate statement to the devs at the time. So “until it no longer makes sense” likely just meant “until EA has told us to release TS5 instead” or “until TS5 is so close to be released that more packs for TS4 won’t make sense anymore”

Even Grant on the First page says Sims 4 isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Wasn’t that a long time ago? But anyway: That is obviously true because they still will release packs for TS4 at least a year more. Most likely until late in the spring of 2019. And besides even TS3 hasn’t gone anywhere yet and its packs are still sold by EA for high prices ;)

The Graham quote you are mentioning and this quote are TWO different quotes. Nobody is confusing them for each other.

Maybe not. But I think that many simmers overinterpretate those statements because they forget that the developers only are making the games. They aren’t the top managers in EA who decide which games to make and when they are released. So statements from the devs about such thing are usually vague and based on their own private guesses which they avoid to state too explicitly though.

They even state the end of pets the start of the second wave. So I’d say another few years to go.


I remember Grant saying before TS4 was released that it would have 50 Packs. Now I'm starting to believe it.
