How do you feel about a potential Sims 5 announcement?

I honestly don't give a damn about Sims 5.

I've experienced 3 generation changes. From 1 to 2, 2 to 3, and 3 to 4. I'm mentally ready for the next one.

I’m interested, but afraid that if it’s too much like Sims 4, I won’t enjoy it. I miss the open world and it just seems I can’t play Sims 4 very long without getting bored. Some elements of Sims 2 and 3 would be nice, and there are some things from 4 that I like. A combo of the good things of all the previous games might be nice.

It may sound heretical, but to me it sounds more like "we want more money". Whenever a game is doing too well, when most players have bought all the add-on components, you throw out a new version, which then has to buy all the add-on components again. I don't like the idea.

I am fine with my current game. There is not much information about the new game. I need to see and hear a lot more to get excited.

I'm So Excited.... I hope they announce or show things more periodically than they have with Sims 4. I've never been disappointed with a Sim game. Even though I get bored more often with Sims 4, I still enjoy playing the game when I want to play it. I also think that they have heard the players and are doing what they can to make it the best version of the Sims.

I'm happy that they announced Project Rene, but I'm also content with waiting.
I wish the sims 4 ran better.

Looks like the initial hype has died down already. Until we get more official information there's not much to discuss that hasn't been discussed over the last few years.

@simgirl1010 Yeah I thought the same thing. I know my personal excitement has wanned a lot, simply because I know myself too well, and I can't be hyper-focused on it and constantly thinking/dreaming of what I would like to have in the game because it will just make the wait seem that much longer.

Plus that's also a possible breeding ground for extreme disappointment if all I do for the next few years was obsessing over TS5 and having this pre-conceived idea in my head for years of what it's going to be only to learn it's nothing like I visioned.

I am happy we have a place out in the open that we can talk about it and I do check in daily to see if there's any new leaks and stuff.

But I'm mostly just focusing on TS4 right now.

Tbf though it's not just that. TS4 came out 7 years ago on an already brittle engine. But even if it hadn't, even if the core had been much more solid, 7 years is half an eternity in video game land. So it honestly does make sense to build a newer game. That I personally don't have issues with. What does bother me though is that the franchise as a whole is decreasing rather than increasing in quality with each new generation. I want TS5 to be what TS2 was to TS1 - actual improvement in deep gameplay. So far all we have seen from project Rene is just more about building and sharing. I wonder at what point EA will realise that while building is important and things like more flexibility and a color wheel are 100% needed, if there are no deep, new and improved gameplay mechanics complementing those build improvements, TS5 will suffer from all the same problems TS4 suffers from today.

Only time will tell I guess.
