When Do You Think Sims 4 Will End?

I think 2020. I hope as early as possible, because I'm ready for a better base game to be honest. They'll never be able to bring in everything in TS4 what we are asking for in 10 years with how slow everything goes and the weak foundation. But I also want them to take their time with TS5, if that is even going to happen.

My prediction/hopes for the rest of Sims 4 are:
2018: Seasons
2019: University
2020: Generations
2021: The Sims 5?
If there's no Sims 5 though, it'll probably go on for longer, maybe until 2025.

I think 2020 or 2021 are pretty safe bets. One of the gurus said that ts4 was at the half way point when C&Ds released, so that's gonna leave around 2 or 3 more expansion. We'll probably get at least double the sps and gps we already have too. I have no idea if we'll get ts5 though. Ts4 is doing pretty good in my opinion, but when the time comes we'll know.

I hope it goes longer but the wait between releases and the lack of content in recent packs compared to past TS games leaves me little hope for the future. I'm getting tired of one EP a year. They take longer to bring reboots that are missing big parts of game play. We are missing too much for it to be a complete game in two years. The focus seems to be on packs that need other packs to play.

Well we could get a decade out of TS4 with this game plan. I don't know whether I will be buying more packs or complete my TS3 and be happy getting off the ferris wheel of spending money.

With the layoffs and moving some of the other gurus to the mobile division, I'm thinking early 2019 will be the end of the PC version of the Sims 4. I wouldn't be surprised if more and more of the budget is put into the mobile version instead, which is a pity.

I'm saying 2019 although I think it may go into 2020. If there are plans to dissolve Sims 4, then they will probably just finish wrapping up what they have on the shelf and one or two concept designs but no more

I agree. Even if it carries on longer than 2019, I suspect we will just get SPs and no longer get any gameplay enhancements in the form of GPs or EPs. The fact that they've made many of the people involved with bigger packs and more complex aspects of the game redundant isn't a good sign, and to me that means we won't be getting any more EPs. We might see one more this year maybe but that'll be it.

I guess sometime between 2021-2023 so I chose 2022. u wu

Old thread but I can't believe how wrong I was by voting for 2021. With the recent "many, many more years" from Gurus, I'd say 2024 is the earliest they would end TS4.

Apparently TS4 had a leadership change this year. We knew SimGuruDuke left Maxis at the end of last year. What we didn't know is that SimGuruLyndsay also left her position on TS4 around the same time. According to Courtyard Oasis's credits, there is now both a new Executive Producer and a new Senior Producer in charge of the game. This may very well signal a new chapter in TS4's lifespan.
