How do you feel about a potential Sims 5 announcement?

I'm not planning to buy Sims 5 as I'm still enjoying Sims 4. I also don't feel that Sims 4 is complete.

However, if there is going to be a new game, I am curious about it. It would have to be an extra special base game before I would be willing to switch.

I'm not ready for Sims 5. They may learn from their diversity issues but I don't expect for Sims 5 to be bug free. They don't animate a lot of things in Sims 4, it's just nice set dressing, so why would I expect Sims 5 to be different. Our sims can't run track or kick a field goal in Copperdale for football practice. I would like more world's for the Sims 4 based on African, Middle Eastern, Australian and South American cultures. I just feel like more could be done with this game.

I've also been thinking what if we could be getting a major base game overhaul. I know they were saying something about the coding for non-binary Sims, when they released the sexual orientation update. They might have to give everyone a new Sims 4 base game free. I could be wrong.

Hey @EA_Cade , are we now allowing threads in the Sims 4 Speculation and Rumor forum that talk about Sims 5 as long as there is a caveat that the Sims 5 is speculation and has not been officially announced?

Same. TS4 is the end of the simming road for me.

I'm excited to hear any news of TS5. I want it to finally be officially announced, so we have a definitive timeline of when to expect something new.

Doesn't mean I'm going to jump ship and immediately open my wallet though. It all depends on what type of "sims" game it is.

If it's just gonna be a glorified TS4.5 with updated graphics and online play and more mini-transactions, I'll pass. All the limitations of TS4 (even after 8 years) is what prevents me from loving it (and sometimes even liking it when I can't customize things the way I want).

And, I can honestly say for me, TS4 has never held my attention and made me want to jump into the game and play every single day like the older versions did.

Part of it was the art style they went with, it was just so Fisher Price/Disney looking to me in the beginning.

But it's improved over the years, so I've gotten more used to it and have actually transitioned over to using only MM CC with the exception of body hair and eyelashes, those are a must (but to this day, I STILL hate the smeary painted looking grass texture).

The other part that I hated from the beginning (and still do, and often cringe at sometimes) is the overly exaggerated facial expressions. I don't know a single person in RL that constantly wears a joker grin and looks up to the sky every 30 seconds, I don't know a single person who raises their eyebrows up to their hairline constantly (TS2 was also bad about this I thought).

So yeah I'm excited to hear what it "could" be, but I'm also100% sure that I will never, ever move to or buy TS5 if there's not some type of world customization and if we are forced to have loading screens again to visit a lot right next to my played sim's house. Not happening for me. If I want those limitations again, I can stick with TS4 and keep my wallet closed.

its good to know but as i mention in a previous post i will need more info so curently on stand by about the sims5 until i see more info on the game and if confirm it will not be multiplayer and offline

I'm not ready to move onto Sims 5. The Sims 4 is still very much incomplete and needs a lot more content before I'm satisfied with it. It'd feel like a waste of time and money. Sure, I had fun playing. But I was expecting to have a better product by the end. So if we get Sims 5, I hope it's after Sims 4 gets all the things it needs for me to feel satisfied with it.

That, and I won't be buying Sims 5 right away. I'll get Sims 5 a few years after it releases, when I've gotten my must-have packs and have seen how the game has progressed. For all we know, the game could be a disaster. While it could be better than Sims 4, it could just as easily be worse. I'd rather stick with the devil I know.

Truth be told, I'm not concerned about TS5. I enjoy TS3 and TS4 (and TS2 if I could get my hands on it again). I'm holding off on Sims 5 for a good long while based on how Sims 4 was handled. I'm not going to get excited about a half-baked rushed game that's missing a huge amount of key base game features again. TS4 may be more fleshed out now, but I have a long memory. Burn me once, shame on you-burn me twice, shame on me.

I like evolution so I'm excited. I'll receive an eventual new game as I did with The Sims 4: with an open mind. We'll see what happens next, but really want a change, TS4 is just a disappointment for me at this point.

I’m interested & worried what EA are adding in the sims 5. I just hope EA will gives the sim teams move time to develop the sims 5 base game & not rushing them to releasing it unfinished like what happen with the sims 4.
