Is The Sims 4 Endgame?

Sorry they did not create it and I see no love in sims 4(others may) but fixing bugs,good exp and a good base is loving the game.

Change my vote to NO - definitely not the end.....

EA isn't the smartest, but I'm going with a NO here. WHY Cut off a solid financial supply? People love this game. WHY end it? But then I also couldn't figure out why on earth they ended the sims 3. could of just kept releasing packs. Yes the sims 4 is a bit more stable. but still...

Time to make like a politician and flip flop, my vote says yes, but my mind says NO.

If you dont know why, see my thread called "You can relax, its not over"

I dont see not having a sims 5/6 as a bad thing at all. I do not see a need for Sims part 5/6/7/8 . Sims doesnt need that many different new versions.

I agree. But we need a better end-version than TS4 which clearly isn’t the best way to make a Sims game.

I believe that we will get TS5 too - and likely sooner than most simmers expect. But I also expect things to change in the future. EA will likely try to change the game into a real life service which most likely will mean an online game with a longer life and partly based on subscriptions. In an ever farther away future this could likely also become a game which can be played on all platforms. But most likely EA will keep experimenting with other types of Sims games too.

I would talk about things that have been done better in sims 4, but its not my job to prove anything.

Sims 4 has too simplified babies, too tall teens, too tiny worlds, too much focus on multitasking and too much focus on happy partying. Not much of this can ever be changed in updates. But it was all done just to let TS4 become as different from TS2 and TS3 as possible such that especially TS3 and its packs still could sell well too to new simmers.

If EA really wanted a Sims game to have a much longer life than this would be planned differently and beside that the game would likely need a much better online part.

But I don’t want to discuss TS4. It is what it is and TS2 and TS3 had flaws too. So I am not saying that TS4 is bad either. Just that I don’t believe at all that it was planned to become the last big Sims game or that it will become that either.

I feel like there was more an emphasis on creativity and worlds on S3 than on S4, so much that it came to the detriment of family time-my families could no longer enjoy meals for more than 5 seconds together without a mod-whereas in S4 my sims could have family time together again-and even more family gameplay thanks to the Parenthood GP and the addition of toddlers-on the other hand creativity took a big step back and contents that have been staples of the franchise since day 1 are still missing but there has been many big improvements such as toddlers or more in-depth vampires or the simplified CAS and build modes and the aging system while still not perfect works greatly in my game. I love all Sims games for different reasons, I don't think it's a competition on which is best, I would like a game that pleases all types of simmers while knowing it would be near impossible to do so considering how large the fanbase is.

In my opinion, if EA's determined to make another game of sims 4 quality in the year of 2019 or later, might as well end the series for good.
You can easily tell from the releasing pattern of the DLCs for the past few years and come up with a conclusion that they're solely motivated by the desire of earning money, not making improvements.
It's sad to witness the death of a game that I used to love so much.

i agree.
it really shows how its lost its magic.

i can play 2 and 3 for hours and the time goes so fast, i just get lost in them.
with 4 its boredom after an hour :'(

there just cheaply done with less of everything. just to make some cash, like they don't care 4 the game anymore, only the dollars :#

they cant even bring out good premium content anymore or good venues or worlds.

I'm saying yes, because I know how much EA wants to compete in the mobile market and how much Maxis has changed since it's early days of pc gaming and the direction they want to go in the gaming world. Not saying you won't see a Sim game on some other format etc. with plenty of hooks and crooks for online/multi play and more mobile but just like Sim City replaced with Sim City Build It, I'm sticking to what I believe and think TS4 is the end of the line for The Sims PC gaming market.

It’s quite common on a forum, when you state something, that you add arguments. Pages have been written here with very thorough explanations why Sims 4 lacks in comparison to its predecessors. “I can’t play Sims 2 for more than 30 minutes now” isn’t an argument, it’s a description of your personal experience. There are times I don’t even manage 30 minutes with Sims 4 myself (that’s no joke, that’s a sad fact, yet, also, not an argument). But apart from the quality of different versions, there is another problem with the statement the franchise not needing a new version: computers and systems are changing, times are changing, technology is developing. Every franchise comes with new versions. I don’t quite see why it would be any different for Sims.
