SIMS 5 TIMELINE

What timeline would you want to see in Sims 5?

So far in time order we have:

- Sims 3
- Sims 1
- Sims 4
- Sims 2

In Sims 5, I hope the timeline is 10-25 years after Sims 2, Bella Goth has returned to share her story & we find out the result of the Pleasantview love saga. The iconic Sims storylines / family trees like Goths, Landgraabs, Caliente, Wolff are expanded Upon and we see some of our favourites return like Thornton & Morgana, Nancy & Malcolm Landgraab Etc

More than anything, I want the sims to feel like an actual community. I want them to have interesting connections and juicy storylines between the families
  • Maybe it will be set a few generations later and Bella and Morty are no longer around. So it would be all about the grandchildren. Hard to say after the Sims 4 mixed it up and brought in an alternative timeline.

    I would like the sims 5 to take place during the sims 2 timeline, or some years after sims 2.

    I want to see disabilities. I'm not saying that it's not a touchy subject but come on, the game's supposed to be a simulation and some people stop being able to climb stairs, or need wheelchairs, and there's mental illnesses that inhibit learning.
  • There are SOOOO many things I want to see. Starting with story lines like there was in the sims 2. I would like to see them pick up after the sims 2 and lose the sims 4 alternate timeline, unless they can bring back the aspect of the characters already in the game having their own story. I would really like to see some of the towns from the sims 2 generations later. I want to see how they have changed and expended.

    And hopefully babies are not objects. I need more for my younger sims then there is in the sims 4.
  • @Cinebar I've made some calculations to understand how many simdays/simweeks are the 25 years between Sunset Valley and Sims 1, and the 25 years between Sims 1 and Sims 2, and if you ignored everyone else besides the Pleasant Twins, Dustin Broke and Dirk Dreamer it would fit almost perfectly as being 25 years after Pleasantview. The only thing you'll have to consider is that they would be a week to 5 days away from becoming adults/graduating from college. Also, Sims 3 Barnacle Bay would fit this too IF the Caliente sisters took the youth potion (cuz its supposed to happen after Sims 2, and we even have Goopy Gilscarbos wife and daughter in that town).
    Anyway, I kinda understand why the devs didn't consider excluding Bella and Mortimer from the game/adding them as deceased... They are iconic and all, but they don't actually need to be in the game for me. They could be added to the gallery, as the "prompt" sims from CAS and used on trailers/renders of all packs. Also, they could be living with Alexander Goth and Cecilia Goth as ghosts in their mansion. I would love Bella and Mortimer as ghosts helping Alex raise his kids haha.
    I WISH so badly the world builder devs would overhaul the worlds at some point. Like, remove the Caliente/Lothario, Goths and Landgraabs as they are (add them to the gallery for those who still want to play with them). And replace them with Barnacle Bay Dina, Nina and Luisa Libros, Alexander married to a pregnant Cecilia living with his ghost parents and an older Malcolm Landgraab IV (or the Malcolm that married Mom and had Dudley and Mimi... but still linking Johnny Zest to them... Johnny could even be the Bustin Out protagonist and Mom be his Mom Zest or something haha). They could also fix other issues like the BFF household not having the supposed drama going on, adding Iggy Pancakes to the Pancakes household... Adding affairs, enemies, etc
    IDK... It sounds like an useless thing to do, but it would be a game changer to me.
    I can make a post later explaning my calculation to figure out the 25 years things and how other SIms 2 characters could show up in new Sims 4 worlds if you're interested. I didn't do it already cuz I've felt like Sims 4 players usually ignore me when I talk about premade sims cuz they don't care about them.
  • Also, If they want to keep Bella alive and YA in all sims games ,I have another idea. She returned to the town after being abducted, but the alien experiments stoped her from aging completely like a "vampire". Then she could appear in SIms 5 alive living with YA Alexander, but still as his mother (and ghost Mortimer). I wouldn't mind her dying, but if they are so reluctant to remove her from SIms... We have better solutions than disprespecting the whole timeline.
