Could it be that EA has actually decided not to make a 5th edition of this game? Perhaps they see that the major difference would be tech specs, and not the content?
I like TS4 and I think the way it's structured allows for endless additions, because we never load more than a limited amount of the game content. The critical issue in my case - and I'm on an old low-end computer, is that I must avoid to fill up my harddrive because that is the biggest reason for game lagging. I'm still happily surprised when finding that adding a new pack doesn't impact much negatively on game performance (drop of fps I learned to accept years ago, but it's hardly got worse over the past 4 years and 10 added packs + loads of CC.
Of course, it all depends on what direction the team chooses. If they also improve on what we already got, I'll be glad. This was actually a major section in one of the past surveys. I'm eager to see both improved personalities and AI/awareness. And of course a new world, but I don't need a new world and 10 new dining chairs in every pack.
Funny you mentioned this. I kinda think the same thing. I remember a "leaked source" that said one of the devs (I think) said there won't be a sims 5.
Rather or not it's true i don't know. But i wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't.
It's 2021 almost. People demand and expect sims 3+sims 2 combined with 2021 style realistic graphics and sims 2 detailed animations, open world, base game pets and seasons, color wheel and a ton of other stuff. It would probably fry everyone's pc. And if they can't or don't deliver the angry demanding mob combined with the over sensitive cancel culture will come for their necks and riot online.
Not saying people's complaints aren't genuine but I haven't had a single issue performance wise and neither does a friend I know. I still believe it comes down to the "brand" of pc. I think companies lie about true specs.
And I honestly believe this game could pack on much more without major issues and I'm looking foward to it. Hence why they give us small worlds
