The Sims 4 will continue into 2018!

Whatever it was all that matters is Sims 4 sells decently so we can get a better experience with Sims 5...that is unless they remove more stuff. But who knows, for all we know emotions won't be in the next game and the click and drag create a Sim will be gone as well. Seeing how they weren't enthused on bringing back many things from previous Sim games to Sims 4 who knows how lacking Sims 5 will be. I just hope they work things out, have better coders (so there's no major lag this was the problem; bad coding), and take many things from Sims 3 to bring back such as create a style, open world, and sandbox non-linear gameplay. Sims 4 is too linear and goal oriented. No more you need to cook chicken and take an angry poo at your party to have a successful one. Sims 3 just had you throw a party and if people enjoyed it they would say so or not and complain. You could see if they were having fun without goals. Linear and lacking gameplay is hurting Sims 4, not to mention the shallow $40 Expansion Packs. You can only patch so much skin onto a skeleton but it doesn't help how dull it is inside. If the foundation isn't strong things will only get worse over time. Sims 4 is somewhat fun yet missing features and gameplay hurts it.

Alas I am sure that EA also will want TS5 to focus on a huge number of smaller and cheaper expansions. (Probably because EA's experience is that small cheap expansions just sell better.) But at least I don't think that EA will dare to make the Sims 5 basegame even smaller than the Sims 4 basegame was. So hopefully the Sims 5 basegame will be better.

Besides that EA will also want TS5 to be different from TS4 which gives it a good chance to become a better game. But who knows? ;)
