The sims 5 timeline
I would personally love if the sims 5 occurred during the same time as the sims 2. Anyone else? Also, have the same storylines as the sims 2.

@DaWaterRat Oh, but The Sims isn't the same thing. It has lore, but not "book" sized information and it leaves a lot of open doors for change. The msot information we used to get was sim description, family description, town description and memories. Besides the household/family description, there's none of the others in Sims 4 (we have memories, but not in premade sims).
Take Sunset Valley for instance... We know Bella and Mortimer where there as kids, then in Sims 1 they turned into adults and had a girl named Cassandra, which then grow up to be an adult living with her father, her younger brother who was born while she was a teen and their mother had disappeared. There's not much here that can messed up by a change of "rules". Which, by the case, happened in all games... The biggest rules and the only meaningful one we had were age lenghts, that were changed in all games, we had a lot of new life stages and all of that.
The game lore is detailed but subtle. They could've made Sims 4 as a follow up to Sims 2 with a single mother Cassandra Lothario and her kid trying to find out what happened to Don Lothario (which we know was sent back to the past by some of his many lovers... most likely Dina and Nina). Then in Sims 6 we could see a new storyline for Don and Cassandra's kid and maybe Alex and Cecilia's kid.
Its just human life with a bit of science fiction/fantasy here and there. Like, if they had introduced Journey to Batuu in Sims 2/3 they could jsut ignore its existence in later games.
The SIms franchise doesn't need reboots.
They jsut thought we would be mad if they didn't add Bella and Mortimer to the base game, but I don't need them. Nobody was mad that Bob and Betty had died and weren't playable in Sims 2. They just died of old age.
I think the only thing they have to worry is taking a premade sim out of character, like they did to the Caliente/Lothario and Dustin Broke in SIms 4. All of the others are pretty ok... maybe Lilith didn't need to me evil/mean, but meh... ok... maybe she turned into a bitter woman after her parents divorced or something.
