Next for TS4?

If all this hype is really over Kits or micro transactions. No wonder EA thinks they can sell a game that’s broken. Talk about us as players settling for bread crumbs. Really, I hope most of you wouldn’t be happy if that’s truly what all the fuss is about with this summit?

If you are then no wonder they won’t deliver a better game with better game mechanics and richer deeper game play, if that’s all it takes to make the majority of fans happy, we really have no one to blame but ourselves as players to expect anything more from the creators.

All I know for as a big of a deal their making this summit out to be, me personally it better be bigger than expansions of the game. (Kits, micro transactions of any kind, game pack, stuff pack, even expansion pack) because they didn’t need to create so much hype if that’s all it really is.

That’s just mocking our intelligence as customers if their doing that and bad attempt at crying wolf to see how much they can get away with while maintaining their fan base.

I choose to believe they care more about their fans and new customers at this point and this summit really is about improving what they have done and continuing to build and improve upon it. Whether that’s the sims 5 or another sims game or continuing the sims 4.

But I will not be okay with all this build up if it is just really about expansions of what is already very broken and I don’t think you should be either if that’s the case and if you are then maybe we should stop complaining when they give us more broken gameplay with all these buggy packs.

I think the problem is actually that they have no competition, if there were other games as good as the sims the players could just choose, but since we have only one option we will buy whatever they sell probably, at least most of us.

I think your totally right about that. That is the problem. But they will have competition at some point. I know of one right now being made that is definitely trying to compete with them. That will probably be out in a couple years.

And while I don’t like the look at much as the current sims game. I think the game play mechanics sound much better from what I know so far. So if they really care about this franchise EA should step up. Because there’s more independent game creators all the time and mod creators that could help create a game people really want from a game like this.

Fans of this type of game will actually pay money to game designers to create their dream game now and I truly think that’s the future of gaming and if big gaming studios like EA don’t step up and decide to put their all into it, someone else will that will be fully capable of it without them.

So if leaving bread crumbs is EAs plan with the sims, they will only get away for it for so long, in fact I actually know of another game that’s in the very early stages of being designed that I believe is going to be a sims game but it is untitled and the rumor I heard is it might be picked up by a major gaming studio and it’s not P L

I’m not able to say more about it, given I don’t know much about it yet, but simulation games are becoming more popular than ever, so EA is fooling itself if they think they can keep being lazy with this franchise.

Well, I don’t see this so much as hype about the packs, but rather speculation on them. I don’t use CC and I have enjoyed most of the kits that they have brought out. I also care about basegame updates. I would love to see real babies, with a lot of content for them, more stuff for children and toddlers, something for elders. More romance options, hotels and Casino’s, more small pets, cars and amusement parks, shopping malls, and a medieval expansion, So, I would love to see more packs, and bug fixes as well. I doubt they are ever going to make the sims 4 into and entirely different sims game, with a lot of depth.

Should at least not take very long to build that world ;)

I hope that we get more pack refreshes. The Sims 4 going free to play means that EA will have to rely on DLC sales to make money, so they now have monetary incentive to make the DLC more appealing.

This is why I am afraid TS5 is true ...

Stuff pack 19 - Arcade or self care
Expansion pack 13 - Singers and bands

Any proof?

It seems a DLC is indeed coming for TS4

No offense but I don’t get it, why does that suggest a new DLC?

I saw that 2 kits have been leaked. One YouTuber said that they might be two game play kits. One with a new coffee machine, and one with a new smoothie maker.

Wait, what, that was a leak? I briefly saw those two icons on a reddit post, along with the headline "next two kits leaked", but didn't open it, because I assumed the poster was making fun of kits. I also thought that the joke wasn't too funny, because I'd probably buy a morning coffee kit. (It would have to offer than just a new mesh, but two new coffee types would already make the deal.)

Haha, joke's on me, I guess :D

strawberry - blender gameplay kit
mug & letter - home office build/buy kit

Home office sounds good, too. It's something I could use in many households across several saves.

The strawberry one could be a CAS kit with fruit and polka dot patterned items.
