Sims 4 being rebranded as "The Sims Life"?

On the official EA website there is now a new unlisted page titled "The Sims Life"

The page url is listed as a game in the sims franchise, and is seemingly talking about 4 as it links to 4 at the bottom of the page. However, the weird thing is that they never call the game the Sims 4 once, it's only referred to as "The Sims Life". Through the whole page they only use the term the sims life, there's references to living the sims life throughout with the slogan "How will you live the sims life?". There's no mention of the sims 4 anywhere and it constantly references living the sims life as if that's the title of the game.

Then with this page there is 4 unlisted commercials, presumably also for the Sims 4, however again there's no mention of the Sims 4. Usually with commercials for the game the title would be "The Sims 4: -insert text-", however for these commercials the title on all of them is "The Sims Life: -insert text-"

There is absolutely no mention of 4 in any of these trailers, instead at the end of the trailers they call it the Sims life. Could The Sims 4 be rebranding?

The first of these trailers also came out on the 26th of November. Just one day before these came out SimGuruGraham talked about the future of the game and the article calls it "Less The Sims 5, more The Sims 4.5 ", they also said in this article "there needs to be more life in the life sim"...

  • The part of that website that irritates me the most is their statement:

    Forget boundaries! In fact, forget walls!
    You do you, wherever you want to!


    That's false!

    Definition of boundary

    noun, plural bound·a·ries.
    Something that indicates bounds or limits; a limiting or bounding line.


    TS4 has several boundries!

    - Lot Limitations or Restrictions (Lots have to have certain items to function correctly)
    - World Limitations or Restrictions (Can't edit our own worlds due to limitations and restrictions on the world)


  • I always thought TS5 wouldn't be named The Sims 5, but something more along the lines of The Sims Life indeed, so i think it's a very plausible possibility, but i feel like it's unlikely since they just did a rebranding. If they do another one this soon, it will feel like they are trying to put lipstick on a pig.
  • The Sims 4 is such a disgrace, they're removing it from thr official numbering. The next generation will be The Sims 4, and this iteration will die as a spinoff.

  • Lol, the thing that bothers me about this advertising is that they show someone getting food under water. In the real game, you can't even queue up eating when the Sim is in the pool.

    Edit: It's also misleading because they show a human with many cats and a Sim with eight cats, when the most you can have without mods is seven.

    Edit Edit: It looks like they also show furniture on the water, which is impossible in the game. These ads are stupid.
  • The sims team shouldnt have ever ported their PC games to consoles and kept them as original storylines! Its never as fun or comfortable as PC controls and the original stories had so much character.

    The cat one was possible actually without mods. Just put a cat hangout lot trait on your lot and you are good to go!

    Wait can we actually do that in the Sims 4 the water world? It looks awesome :D

    I begged SimGuruGraham for it. So I hope so. I'm actually one of the few I think tired of the numbers for Sims games.
