The Sims 4: “5 years in and we’re just warming up”

I think this strengthens the argument of those job applications not being for The Sims 5, and more likely a spin off.

I do think they’ll start working on the Sims 5 soon though. But they’ll probably keep it hush hush and won’t publicly advertise in the way they do now.

We didn’t know anything about The Sims 4’s hiring process because they used code words and didn’t mention the Sims at all.

It doesn’t. Just because they’d be working on a Sims 5 doesn’t mean they stop working on Sims 4. Why would that be any different than in the past. Why oh why is this such an issue for you. Just enjoy Sims 4 and look forward to new stuff they keep releasing for it. And let people who believe chances are a successor is in the making after all embrace that idea. Both hypothesises are NOT in each other’s way.

(I don’t know what it’s like in America by the way, but in my country - though it is possible to recruit internal - job offers are publicly. Especially when you want new and fresh faces in your team)

To be fair, this means nothing for a sims 5. This just means that the voice actors are making content for the sims 4. That shouldn’t be a surprise as the devs are still working on the sims 4. I agree with @JoAnne65

There has been zero advertisements for any new Sims game, what we know we know from job listings which are not advertisements. We knew Sims 4 was in-dev in 2008 when one of the character moddelers tweeted about it. This is just a show which takes a look behind the scenes of things. It offers no reason to speculate what you are speculating, you’re grasping for straws for the sake of it.

Since Sims 4 is sounds it will be taking longer, I hope that stuff like more occults, lounge chairs, swimming oceans, and improved babies, etc, are going to be worked on and put into it within those years.

This is getting dumb. Why do people hate the idea of sims 5 being created? Its not going to be released for another five years. So course there going to realesed more stuff? Besides they do this with the previous games?Why do people expec this to be any different?

The OP is speculating using exactly the same quantity of information that the pro-Sims 5 crowd is. I'm not certain he deserves to be eviscerated and flogged over the matter.

I like to see how things are done in these games so thanks for the info. But the statement it's been five years and they are just getting warmed up...I don't know, it sure has taken quite awhile for them to get warmed up. Because as I said in my feedback discussing most games are ending in this series after the four year mark rolls around...and full games by that point, TS4 is going to need three more? Because they are just now getting warmed up? ;) I know that's not what they meant, but still it gets food to someone like me to pick at it, lol, and to point out yeah, The other three were so full by then they had to end them before it caused computer melt downs.

I don't think anyone is giving her any more flogging and evisceration than she's given other simmers, though. ;)

She makes some good points. Others make good counterpoints.

I'd ask everyone stop eviscerating and flogging everyone else in any thread, please. Let's just be respectful and courteous to one and other - we all have different opinions and take different meaning from comments. :smile:
