I was looking at ps5 and all the new games are going to be huge (between 50GB-100GB) and that probably means sims 5 will be too and yes I know this is console not pc but the games and updates are usually of similar size

That might be because of higher quality graphics, as everyone requests realistic characters, which means bigger files.

If the graphics were of higher quality what happens when your sim sets themselves on fire or perhaps killed by a swarm of flies

I guess it's a good thing that the sims don't have realistic graphics then. I wouldn't want to see that. :smile:

I've been debating between getting 1TB or 2TB storage. 2TB it is!

Good post!

Yeah, this is one of the reasons why I want a gaming laptop with lot of space in the SSD. My old computer from 2014 would have filled up so quickly, plus I don't think it would even meet minimum requirements of the TS5 base game, much less subsequent packs!

Glad that PS5 will be out this November. Now we just have to wait for The Sims 5. Hopefully they'll announce it after the next EP is released. I've speculated that it might be built with the Unreal Engine 4 but I'd like to know for sure soon so I can get ready to mod for it.

Do you mod for TS4 or TS3?

It a possibly but it could also be made with Unity (I prefer that Platform) The problem is if the develop with UE4 it’s advertising a competition to you business however if you use Unity you don’t have that problem as Unity don’t make game it’s just a IDE to allow people to make there own games.

A huge disappointment more like

They used to say that about Sims 4 back in 2013.
Sims 5 being huge is a pipe dream.

I hope they don't go with realistic graphics. I hate the hyper realism look of many games nowadays.
