Just think about this when Maxis/EA put up a job posting to the Sims4 they say Sims 4 but there are the other job postings the just say The Sims. I have been wondering why the 2 job different job post...

Pretty much the Sims 5 plan so far is making a Sims Online reboot according the CEO Andrew Wilson:

"Typically, what The Sims has done is really focus on fulfilling the motivations of inspiration, escape, creation, self-improvement, and not necessarily focus as much on social interaction and competition."
"As Maxis continues to think about The Sims for a new generation across platforms and a cloud-enabled world, you should imagine that while we will always stay true to our inspiration, escape, creation, self-improvement motivation, that this notion of social interaction and competition - like the kind of things that were actually present in The Sims Online many years ago – will start to become part of the ongoing The Sims experience in the years to come."
I really wish they'd abandon this idea that The Sims must be online to be enjoyable. It may work for other types of games, but the sims is different and so are its players. The game is an escape and I believe that most players do not want others intruding on it.
