To add to what others have said in this thread, it definitely seems other simulation games are taking centre stage, likely to fill the gap that the sims 4 left open. Now while I have watched streamers play older iterations of the sims games, one common theme they often mention is the detail coded into the game. One example I remember clearly - the parents were fighting with one another, whilst it was happening an adult sim was shushing the child of the parents to comfort them while they were bawling. This small detail stuck out to me.
