This might be an unpopular opinion, but 'Project Rene' should just be an update to the sims 4??‍♀️
With Project Rene, it feels like EA is just piggybacking off Paralives, which is why I think they announced it so early, knocking out the competition before it even has a chance.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm excited about Project Rene. It's just something that EA should have already incorporated into the sims.
I just hope they don't butcher this project like they did the sims 4.

I feel like EA doesn't need to reinvent the wheel with TS5, just perfect it. Fix the issues in TS4, improve the AI, and move it to a better engine with better physics. I'mm not tech savvy so what I proposed may be impossible, but it kind of explains how little they really need to do with TS5to make it good. One of my early worries when I first encountered talk about TS5 was they were going to radically change the game in ways that make it unrecognizable. I don't have that same level of worry after the summit, but it is still early. And as we saw with TS4 there is a history in this franchise of major 11th hour changes. They tried to go multiplayer and got backlash if I remember correctly. They still want multiplayer but they're going to try to lure us holdouts to the dark side with TS5, hence the either or option. The next iteration after 5, if there is one, will be where they hope they can go entirely multiplayer. Unless, like TS4 there is a last second change where they say no we are going total multiplayer now and if you don't want to play that way goodbye. That wouldn't go over well and I don't feel like the either or option is going to change many minds.

The Sims is almost of the last of its kind, a name brand game that is totally single player. Everything else is either entirely multiplayer or both. I can't think of another off the top of my head, but I haven't really played anything except The Sims since 2015 or so. I have played some little time wasters like Plants vs. Zombies but its pretty much Sims or nothing for me. I am interested in Dreamlight Valley but it won't be out for Macs for awhile yet. I've read estimates of anywhere from this December all the way to late 2023. Paralives is still early in its development so there is time for it to grow on me, but if it came out now I wouldn't have any interest in it. I think with DV its the fact that the characters look a bit like polished TS4 sims that attracts me. TS4 sims are the graphics yard stick that I judge all life sims by, unpopular as that opinion may be.
