I agree. The sims 4 is 8 years old. And technology and computer systems have really advanced since 2014. I see them pushing it to the ten year mark but not further than that. I don’t think the game engine can handle a lot bigger expansions so while I think their milking it, I don’t think the next two years are going to expand much, although I do think their going to maybe have one or two more expansions but they will be lighter ones and I think they will focus more on the updates and existing issues, like maybe a lot of pack refreshes. I do suspect that another sims game is in the horizon and while I don’t really think will hear about it tell summer of 2023, I do think the summit is going to announce a big update for the sims 4. And possibly a game pack or expansion pack to look forward too that has to do with the update. I’m guessing it’s going to be the biggest update to the sims 4 yet, even more than what they have recently done. It may even be sort of a game overhaul on the personalities, emotion game play, something of that sort that they know could be way improved.
I am ready for a new sims game. We need a fresh one without all the bugs and crashes. We need a better foundation for a sims game, one that’s not based mainly on a sims emotional state. But one with more depth and personality. I think the sims 5 or a new sims game is in the making and I think it is going to have more grit and not play it so safe as the sims 4 has, I think their will be a lot more to love with the next one of its got more spice to it, such as consequences, crime, more drama mixed. I do think there’s a small possibility they might release this version of the sims before the sims 4 is done. Because a lot of people like the sims 4 due to it being very family friendly. But I would say it’s more geared to that and it’s also what people don’t like and miss from previous versions are the more mature themes and humor. So maybe to please both kind of fans, they might have both versions going at the same time.
