The Sims 5 Has to Give Closure to the Series' Shakespearean Star-Crossed Lovers
The Sims 5 should have what it takes to finally bring closure to a forbidden romance that some Simmers have waited years to be resolved.
One of the most endearing themes in storytelling is romance, and none more compelling than forbidden romance between star-crossed lovers. The Sims has such a romance in its rival families of the Capps and the Montys from The Sims 2, which mirrors one of the greatest romances ever told by one of the greatest writers in the English canon: Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Neither their romance nor the rivalry between their families was ever resolved in The Sims 2, leaving players with an open ending throughout The Sims 3 or 4. The Sims 5 has the opportunity to set the fate star-crossed lovers right and put players' hearts to rest.

The Sims 5 Needs to Reopen the Case of the Caliente Sisters
The Sims 5 could solve the biggest mystery in the series by investigating two sisters with dodgy connections and worse intentions.
One of the most enduring mysteries of The Sims is the disappearance of Bella Goth. This happens in The Sims 2, and the controversy has been discussed on fan forums for nearly two decades. So far, players are still no closer to solving the mystery now than when The Sims 2 was released. One of the issues that make the mystery so hard to unravel is the number of moving parts, one of which is the Caliente sisters.
