I hope it doesn’t come out within the next three years at least, but for ulterior reasons.
First, hardware.
This one is straightforward, DX12 Ultimate capable GPUs are going to proliferate over the next 3 years. If industry murmurings are correct, GPU manufacturers will be moving to an annual release cadence, meaning “minimum specification” in two or three years’ time might actually deliver a palatable experience relative to what we have today.
Second, software.
There are very important and revolutionary technologies coming out currently with next-gen consoles. Concerning Microsoft at least, it has been their goal since 2015 (based on a DirectX 12 Ultimate presentation I watched), to unify PC and Xbox from a software standpoint. Giving developers the opportunity to develop code for both at the same time. If they get better at developing for Xbox, they are simultaneously ready for deployment on PC.
Overall, it’s going to take time for them to get used to the features DX12 Ultimate brings and to optimise for them, to deliver a truly next gen Sims experience.
Case in point: GTA IV and GTA V were developed for the same generation, but behold what Rockstar Games was able to accomplish by the time they released GTA V due to familiarity with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360's hardware.
