I think the sims 5 won't be in trouble or replace.

There is a lot new life simulator games bring developed .(Vivaland, Life by you, little sims world,ect)Whyy people are excited, but some thinking this could hurt the sim.I disagree , but I think it might help them.

People keep bring up sim city, but sims city was already dead.No one wanted an online system for sims city.Also sims 4 has been getting better.I think sims team is doing better job with features and stuff the player wants.

I still think the other life sims game will be successful.They offer variety and are unique enough.
Instead replacement what I think is going to happen instead.Is that EA going to put more effort to the sims.The problem with the sims franchise it was the only life simulation game.Now it won't be anymore.It forces Ea to be more competitive.Possible also giving the sims team more budget.So now project Renee is going to have to wow people.I think competition the franchise not hurt it, but instead help it.

    We already saw curved walls added around the time of High School Years; a feature that was marketed by Paralives even in its earliest development shots. Thus, I do agree fully that the upcoming competitors (except for maybe Vivaland, as it is basically the lovechild of The Sims and Second Life, in that it is online multiplayer) will influence the development and probably pack releases of TS5/Project Rene. So yes, these potential competitors are already influencing the Sims; and TS5 is still in development.

    Honestly, I plan to buy most of them once out, but time will tell which one I dump the most money into. I know that in the past 5 years, I've likely spent close to $300-400 on TS4. I've already played the Tiny Life demo (so far, the only new/upcoming "Sims" type game that has a playable form), and am eagerly awaiting Paralives and Life by You.

    Correction vivaland will have a single-player mode as well as multiplayer.
