I voted beyond 2025 because the thought of this forum then amuses me greatly. :D
I want it to go as long as the devs want to and are able to keep working on it. I'm sure Sims 3 players would say that game ended 'too early' for whatever arbitrary reason, and I wouldn't want Sims 4 to end just because of something arbitrary like the franchise anniversary. The gurus have said they expect it to go longer than previous versions, and not to take past release patterns as current ways to predict things, so I'm hoping for that.
I don’t think actually many Sims 3 players say that game ended too soon. It has 11 expansions with quite some substance, enough to still enjoy it years later. Same goes for Sims 2 and 1. Wanting it to go on just to be amused by those not amused is what I’d call an arbitrary reason.
I feel like The Sims 3 could have had heaps more packs, like a true Vacation EP, Business EP, Hobby EP etc. I feel like there was heaps more to do.
And The Sims 2 ending when it did was horrible, I reckon they could have squeezed one or two more EP's out. The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection feels quite small in comparison to 3 or even 4.
They could have made other choices (personally I was disappointed with the last one, science fiction and robots are not really my cup of tea, though the result turned out more enjoyable than I’d feared), but that’s a matter of personal preference. I’m not interested in running a business myself, IP for me fully meets my wishes for spending a vacation (in combination with features from other packs) and my sims have more than enough hobbies to choose from. You can’t have everything obviously, but Sims 3 doesn’t exactly lack content ;) And considering there are also still people playing and enjoying 2, the same goes for that game. Personally I think any game benefits from being truely renewed every five years. Expecially a game with a weak and limited basegame.
