Is The Sims 4 Endgame?

I also would have said no until yesterday, now I'm not so sure.

Yes its coming to an end. This is it they're pushing mobile.

I don't think The Sims 4 is going away that fast, they may still do some packs because they're profitable. But I'm not that sure we'll get a TS5 in the usual timeframe. They may take a break and reboot it many years from now or not to it at all... I'm uncertain because the ad for The Sims Mobile on the main screen of The Sims 4 with extra content to unlock if you have both looks really similar to what happened with The Sims 3 when 4 launched. You got an ad for The Sims 4 on 3's main screen and bonus content if you had both.

I honestly do not know. With the recent events my sense of perception with this franchise has been very cloudy.

Daniel was my homeboy, and hearing about that news broke me in a way I shouldn't have been broken when it comes down to my love for The Sims.

I voted no because The Sims is too much of a cash cow for EA.

I love the Sims 4 but I feel there's a whole lot more to improve upon that could be done in a 5th installment to The Sims series rather than in this current iteration of the game, and if it's popular enough it'll make a bunch of money and EA is all about the profits it seems.

I also think if they were going to call it quits on the Sims franchise they would have done so a long time ago. I actually completely expected that Sims 2 was the final installment to the series at the time to be honest and was taken by surprise when Sims 3 came out.

So yeah I entirely expect there to be a 5th installment, maybe even more than that.
They'll either stop when they can't improve on the game anymore, or when it becomes old news and nobody plays it anymore.

Considering how much effort they've poured into The Sims Mobile, I think it is. I think they just realized Sims 4 was failing and decided to attempt to save it with a mobile game. I tried The Sims Mobile and deleted it after 3 days. It was just too restrictive.

Anyways, they're not even anywhere near ready for a Sims 5 and I don't think they'll ever be.

They phoned it in on Sims 4 now it's probably literally going there

yep based on current rumours reddit it :P .. going mobile because it makes more money. which is a shame but expected of EA.
Leave us with a half baked sims game and not give us a good game. There goes my hopes and dreams for a solid Sims game. TS4 was almost salvaged from the horrid engine that it had. now theres no hope for a new game with proper features. sigh*

Like others, before yesterday I would have insisted TS5 is coming, but no more.

No, and the reason can be seen on http://simscommunity.info/2018/01/31/ea-talks-about-player-growth-with-the-sims-4-cats-dogs-console-release/

TS4 is still giving EA a huge amount of money and TS3 is still selling too which of course was EA’s main reason to make TS4 as it is.

But SPs and GPs seem to sell much better than the expensive EPs when they are sold as digital downloads. This is the change from earlier where EPs sold best on discs in the physical stores. Therefore TS5 likely only will get SPs and GPs which are cheaper to make and need less developers. Also EA has expanded Maxis to Finland where the Sims Mobile and TS4 for consoles mainly are made. So EA just need fewer devs in the main building for Maxis in Redwood.
