Is The Sims 4 Endgame?

If The Sims Mobile is so successful, why the need to promote it in TS4 with that family portrait frame ?

EA is always trying to push online/multiplayer/microtransactions everywhere but forgets to make actual games in the process.
The online version of early dev days TS4 was scrapped, TS Freeplay scratched the mobile game itch better, I fear they might keep trying until they find a model working for their expectations.

Theirs being nothing like ours, unfortunately.

Not if they own it and the rights. I hope they don't call it the Sims 5 though when it's made.

Coming in 2019: The Sim5. o-o

Naw that won't happen anywhere near that soon. I'm just saying it's not the end of future sims stuff.

It was a joke---the "The Sim5" thing. XD I don't really expect that it'll come that soon.

I'm hoping the next one is a full on official reboot, personally. Just 'Sims' or 'The Sims' or 'Sims 2020' or whatever. Just so long as it's clearly marketed as a full on reboot. Cut the ties and keep the basics. A refresh would do this franchise good.

I highly doubt it... The Sims is literally one of EA's biggest selling game franchises (since it appeals to nearly every demographic of gamers, especially the casual ones, which is A LOT bigger than many may think). I'm sure there will be a Sims 5... however, whether or not it'll be an improvement from Sims 4 is another story.

I remember when Sims 4 was nothing but a rumor... many people thought Sims 3 would be the end, but here we are now... I don't think EA will suddenly give up on The Sims. Especially not when Sims 4 is doing much better than it did at launch.

Yes no maybe? I think it may be an indicator of a beginning of an end on the PC platform but I don't think we're there yet. There's been a lot of new staff on forum support, but forums don't get much traffic from mobile players. Still, it suggests some kind of transition happening. Maybe it means they've ruled out a Sims 5?

I would have said NO - then heard Daniel got the axe - been there since the beginning - which tells me it may well be the end - seeing Daniels handled a lot of things including worlds, terrains - all the parts of the games playable foundations in the base games, never mind the things he does in all the other packs - especially eps - without Daniel there is no game if you ask me - as he makes the game come together and happen. So now I say yes - and it makes me beyond sad. (also he was the Dev that said he would have to make a swimmable ocean terrain if we expected sims to swim in the ocean. )

For multiple reasons I say yes, I would say this will be last Sims game. However, I believe that when it ends someone will make a game of a similar concept. I wouldn't be surprised if it was better. Also if there is a Sims 5 it will have a lootbox system, probably.
