It's difficult to say what I might do in the future. My game preferences are varied, but The Sims franchise was, at one time, my favorite. My battle with Sims4 has left me wondering if EA is capable of creating another iteration without altering it into something I don't recognize, or might want to play at all. We know basically nothing about Sims5 except it might be an MMO, filled with micro transactions. And given the amount of glitches and bugs we've seen in Sims4, my faith in the EA teams has dwindled significantly in the last three years. Paralives looks interesting, and I have helped support his efforts, but I'm a bit reticent about blindly buying anything new no matter how good it looks in short teasers. I am hoping Paralives gives EA a lot to think about, and drives home the point that ignoring the fact it's game has problems yet refuses to give the teams the resources to fix those problems, has given some of us long-time Simmers a glimpse into the future of the franchise. And I don't like what I am seeing. So, my answer to the question is simple. I'll wait to see how good these two base games are before I commit to purchasing either one.
