I’ve been playing since the original The Sims and there was a very apparent lack of improvement between the 3rd and 4th iteration. I’m still enjoying TS4 but I think a lot of simmers that have been around since the beginning won’t hesitatate to drop the entire series unless the next version is a significant stepping stone in the series. It needs to actually compete with other games on the market, especially considering some RPG games are taking aspects of life simulation and doing a better job at it than The Sims 4. It’s my favorite game series, but I’ll drop it in a heartbeat if there are not significant changes to its development.
