New game (not sims 5)

Very unlikely. EA is increasingly risk-averse and they won’t greenlight those side projects. Same reason why TS4 console is simply a port of the PC version done by an external studio. They didn’t wanna spend a lot of money/resources to build a new game specifically for consoles like the previous console games were.

EA hasn’t reallly changed much about this. But I agree that EA probably won’t release a sidegame now when the Sims 4 era most likely is quite close to its end.

The reason why TS4 hasn’t got any sidegames to me seems to be quite different:
1. Sims 2 and Sims 3 got sidegames. But neither Sims 1 or Sims 2 sold well when their successor had been released.
2. EA seems to have planned to change this such that Sims 3 and its packs still could sell well after Sims 4 had been released. Therefore Sims 4 was made as it is and so different from Sims 3 as possible and the plan seems to have success. So EA still sells Sims 3 and its packs for their full prices and likely just want people to buy those packs instead of any sidegames to Sims 4.

So no. I don't believe that Sims 4 will get any sidegames at all.

EA changed a lot. Do some research of how many games EA used to release per year 10 years ago vs. how many games they release per year now (I’m talking about HD titles made by EA themselves; mobile games and EA Originals games don’t count). They’re far more selective about what games they make now than they were a decade ago.

To be completely honest, no.

Nope, there will be a sims 5... count on it, and count on it being offline this time and done right with good graphics and solid base game.

Sims 1 remake? I might like that but either that or it something unexpected.

I'd like that and with a better camera system and testingcheats like we have now.

I'd love a game or games set in various times with these sims at the center. Almost any time period would work for me also. I just want it to be immersive (no mailman.. other sims dressing in period clothes).
Opps adding... no I don't think it's coming soon though...

Yes I'm pretty sure they will!

I don't know if they're working on one right now but it's definitely something I want to see!
