The sims 5 will probably happen after 2021I wonder what they will focus on in sims 5. -Sims 1 was completely new and they advertised how you can do “anything” you can do in real life(make a house, eat, sleep, have a job, make friends etc)-Sims 2 they focused on different design, different camera angles, more customization in CAS, lifetime aspirations.-Sims 3 introduced open world, more powerful customization(color wheel and create a style), personality traits.-Sims 4 emotions, quirckiness, improved CAS without sliders, small closed worlds to improve performance.What will be new in Sims 5?

They've already said that they have 3 years worth of content at LEAST for sims 4. They comment almost every month now that the sims 4 isn't going anywhere and sims 5 isn't in development yet.

Since it's a base game and because computer code can only do so much, I'm going to guess that half this stuff won't be included/possible for Sims 5. Gender Options, including gender-neutral, are most likely to be included in base game because Sims has already done that as a free patch. It would make the most sense for them to have that right away. Making Sims 5 have open worlds would make sense, but I doubt it will be lot free. Because of the gallery and the Sim communities' love for sharing their builds, they need to keep a lot system to simplify how simmers share their stuff.Build mode will definitely be improved, it always is, but I don't know about completely removing the grid system for things like walls and fences. Plus we already have the alt button to move things outside of grid, and have had that since Sims 3.I think (in order) the most likely are: Gender options, Improved Build Mode, Something unexpected, Open Worlds

Then they recently said the same thing again this month that the sims 4 isn't going anywhere, hence the new design.

People stop talking about when Sim 5 is going to released and then start complaining about it.

They have never said that the sims 5 isn't in development. they have only said that the sims 4 has a lot of life left and at least 3 more years. This does not rule out the sims 5 being in development as it takes years to create a game. So with that in mind, the sims 5 is very likely in some sort of development.

I just thin sims 5 will look slightly different with different graphics but the game play and game/expansion/stuff packs will be the same as always, nothing new..

The Sims 4 doesn't have a finish date planned. With the rebrand we can assume they have multiple years of TS4 ahead.

As for that statement, it's no longer true, and people shouldn't bring it up. And yes it's already 1 year old, so it would be two years instead of three.
