Do you think the Sims 5 could be better than TS4?

There is always the potential to be better. If EA learns from its mistakes gives the devs the time they need to do what they must to create a great game playtest it find the bugs and problems before it goes into beta stage. Allows the Game Changers to give negative feedback and really listen to the negative feedback. Push back the release date to a later date if needed to improve and solve any issues that arrive and look at what made The Sims, Sims 2 and Sims 3 great games that were amazing without mods and CC and look at what is good in Sims 4 Building and CAS and improve CAS and Build Mode, even more, making it a step further with things like vaulted ceilings muli-heights for a single level. For an example in build mode have the entryway with a vaulted ceiling that leads to a medium level sunken living room in the centre of the first floor with an open-concept kitchen dining room with plenty of area for sims to entertain guests. Have a reasonable scale. to transfer blueprints we find online to the sims. I build a lot in the sims. In fact, it's what I do first when I start a new game. I build up each of the worlds how I want. Then look at the premades I want to keep in the game I'm going to play delete all the celebrities except for Judith Ward (I love Judith she is a word I cannot use here but that is what makes her so much fun.) I would love to be able to do things like a sunken living room with a half wall in Sims 4 but I think I am asking for too much in build mode. I would love to have platforms back to put a bed or bathtub on as we had in Sims 3. I would love to be able to build ponds as we could in Sims 3. I can build and do some sweet landscaping in Sims 3 I am horrible at terrain and landscaping in Sims 4. But I can build it just won't pop that's all. I want to be able to do nice landscaping in Sims 5. I want wall heights but be able to add texture and "paint" ceiling in sims 5 without the use of mods. We need round turrets and rounded corners/walls. We need round/oval pool options. We need colour wheels and the ability to "create" a material again. Hello, Black Pearl Granite for the countertops in a build without using CC.

The potential really is there. We can sort of do Cathedral Ceilings now and not exactly vaulted ceilings. The difference between a Cathedral Ceiling and a vaulted Ceiling is that a Cathedral Ceiling always follows the pitch of the roof, A vaulted ceiling does not. My grandma was big into architecture. She taught me a lot.

The potential is there for the devs to do these things. It really is. Whether they want to tap in and bring us an amazing game is hopefully what we'll get.

You will never learn.After Eco Living it's clear that if another version of the Sims comes out it's going to be a mess plus they may suck up to the multiplayer like they did in Fallout. If EA does proper testing and goes back to it's roots of families and story telling then there might be hope.

The thing with multi-players it allows them to create buyable downloadable content that could be for a limited time or something like the buyable loot boxes they got into trouble with a while back. It's more profitable for them that way. Unlike Rockstar that puts out GTA and does it well. Every time they (EA in the Sims) went the multi-player route in the past it really wasn't welcomed in the community if memory serves me correctly. My husband plays GTA and sometimes I play with him.

EA needs to fire their CEO give developers the time they need to develop games and listen to their fan base. Their fanbase is who essentially pays their salaries when all is said and done. We all want good storytelling. We all want substance.

The Sims 5 could be better if the designers were obliged to play sims 2 and then sims 4. I have many doubts that they actually play the game. I did not lost hope for sims 5 tho :/

Better throw three in there too. We're not willing to be tossed out in the dustpile this time around.

The Sims 5 would be better if the person holding the pursestrings allotted more money and time for gameplay mechanics, depth, and replayability, and stopped worrying so much about marketing. If the game is good, people will hear about it. The best part is that word-of-mouth is free. Simply concentrate on building the best Sims game ever that marries some of the most beloved features from the franchise and it can't lose.

Also, please stop trying to create a game that can run on an old Texas Instruments calculator.

I prefer Sims 4 & will eventually upgrade to Paralives when it's completed.

all of the above! I feel like with each new Sims that came out they left behind some of the better aspects of the game.

For me the personalities comes first, but I would also like to be rewarded and/or surprised in my game depending on how I play it. Does anyone remember Drew Carey coming by if your party was a success, the ghost at the campfire, the roaches, the clown...? I think the game has turned into a dollhouse more and more which I guess is understandable since I assume most of you started to play the Sims as kids. All the quirkiness and humor probably went over your heads :)

I still have hopes for Sims5 but family play is not my gig.

None of these answers reflect my opinion. I think it could be better if elements from TS3 and TS2 were in the game, but I don't think TS5 will actually be an improvement, considering TS2 seems to be the generally agreed upon best iteration of the series, then TS3 was arguably inferior due to apparently having less complicated personalities and relationships, not to mention stability issues. And TS4 isn't much of an improvement (gameplay wise) of either games.

To sum up, I think it could be better if it added upon and expanded on elements present in all 3 games, but I highly doubt that will happen. If I am wrong, however... I would be over the moon to take that L.

Sims 5 will only be better if the team learns from its mistakes with Sims 4. Sadly I don't see that happening as the problems are on a base game level. Clearly they messed up trying to make a multiplayer game and I see those same mistakes coming to Sims 5.

TS5 could be better if they listen to fans and put in all those features listed -- the best parts of TS2 + TS3, have pets and seasons in the base game (like Paralives is going to do), and stop making the graphics look like a shiny Disney Princess game for 6-year-olds.
