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 usua...

Polygon count has generally been rising in games over the years. However, with the advent of mesh shaders allowing developers to use very high-quality models with billions of polygons (as seen in the UE5 demo breakdown) and very high-resolution textures with little to no performance penalty, game install sizes may seriously start outpacing SSD price to capacity.
Current generation titles like Red Dead Redemption 2 (150GB) and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone (200GB) are already moving the needle. It will be very interesting to see what happens when developers start taking advantage of new engine capabilities.
I spotted a video testing mesh shaders (which could be levereaged to create an open world Sims). Data sizes were quite notable:
