I'm very confused. The graphics don't even look like Sims 4? And why are the videos called The Sims Life: rather than The Sims 4. It makes it sound like they're talking about another game? There's even a whole new webpage dedicated to "The Sims Life"

Is this their rebranding or the "Sims 4.5" thing they were talking about? Instead of Sims 5 they'll just rebrand the Sims 4 as "The Sims Life"?

^ this is what i thought, but also sounds like some kind of spin off
under the "how would you like to play?" says *Requires The Sims 4 (sold separately) and all game updates. For PC, see minimum system requirements for the pack. requires? so it's not the sims 4 but an add on?

this is the 2013 gamescom video i think it's when they announced ts4. they were mixing rl and the sims too in a way that doesn't even look like the actual game at all, though the trailer looks nice
