I just don't think I'll be investing in The Sims for a fifth time, The Sims 4 has given me almost everything I've asked for in a Sims game and I likely won't be enticed to buy everything all over again for a fifth time. I honestly hope that they just continue The Sims 4 for many years and make it one of the biggest and best games of the franchise and in the entirety of EA's history. TS5 will come out and people will just be asking for everything we had in previous games again and frankly, I'm over waiting on doing laundry in a life simulator again.

At the risk of unintentionally getting this thread move to Off Topic section, I would invest in TS5, because i like to think outside the box, and there is one trillion more things they can do with Sims and the animations that we have never seen yet. :) (jumping a low level fence to cross a yard, just as important to me as was sitting down by the pool's edge)

I'm truly hoping they wont work on 5 until they can make it VR capable. Just imagine for a second. Virtual. Reality. Sims.
I would just die for this.

I hope they make it optional as not everyone can play VR even if like me they have a pc fully capable of it. I get motion sickness badly in VR use I discovered while testing some VR (HTC Vive) for another company last year. I mean real bad. Never felt that bad ever. So definitely need that optional.

One other thing is keep in mind VR wants a stellar pc system that not all Simmers have either. I am definitely running the system - the problem was me, not the pc. LOL. I know it was awesome though as I couldn't handle it but on the other hand hubby took over and I had to practically fight to get my pc back. He loved it.

I don't get motion sick from it (so far) but I did have my headset on a little crooked one time and felt queasy immediately.
Having a VR headset has made me think about playing The Sims in VR. It would be cool to have a VR mode where you can inject yourself into the game to observe and interact with your sims. It would love if I could play mini games with my sims like bowling, ping pong, miniature golf, etc.

If would be cool if EA could use the Ansel system from Nvidia for The Sims 4.
This allows you to take a 360 degree stereoscopic image in the game space so you can view it in VR. It's a static image, but it does a good job of putting you in the space.

I did try playing The Sims 4 on a virtual desktop inside VR. It was cool having a virtual monitor as a large as a wall, but my mouse movement was highly sensitive and I didn't bother with adjusting things to make it playable. I did hang up a few TS4 pictures in my virtual space though.
