It‘s going to take them years. Just take a piece of paper and write down on the left side what they have so far and on the right side what they still have to do (they made a lot of promises!). Next do some easy mathematics. If the left side took 1-3 people almost a year to do then how long will it take for up to 10 people to do the right side.

I knew that as soon as Paralives becomes a real threat to The Sims that discouragement and mud slinging was going to start. This is how it is with TS3 being the superior game over TS4. People would constantly say bad things about TS3 but not mention that those things are fixable or customizable or not even true. Now it's happening with Paralives.

I think the best thing to do is go to the Paralives website and take a look at it for yourselves and not listen to anyone else. For example, the statement that a lot of people dropped their Patreon support for Paralives ISN'T true.

They lied about TS3 to discourage people from buying it instead of the inferior TS4, they will lie about Paralives too. And when Paradox Tectonic reveals their game, they are going to get attacked even more because they are the real threat against The Sims franchise.

I DON'T WANT The Sims franchise to be the only option we have because EAxis will just continue churning out poor quality work at exorbitant prices. So let's continue to support and encourage the competition to develop the best life simulation games they all (including EAxis) possibly can.

some people really do like sims 4 more then 3 some people don't 3 at all
and I don't think Paralives will ever be finished if what that artist said was true
know body cares that much about sims games to go around lieing about the older ones just so people wont play them
that would be a wast of time

I too don't think that people deliberately go round about lying about Sims games. They are just admitting to a preference and why. There is an Ignore option on here so each side could ignore the other completely if they want with two separate conversations in the one thread! Their comments have no relevance really.

I wish Paralives well and if it gives EA a bit of a kick that will be good for EA. Paralives just had a bad experience with an employee seeming to try to take over and that will probably make them better employers in future. They just need a good team who get on well together. I would give Paralives a try if they manage to pull themselves together and bring the game out.

If Sims 5 tried to put everything in the base game it will be too expensive for most Simmers here to buy anyway and they might have to join Origin Access or a Steam equivalent to pay per month to play it. I would reckon on 60 to 100 dollars plus but as the game is being aimed at what they call the 'current generation' it will be definitely on the Cloud and online too, possibly with the option to play privately. It will be on the Cloud because that way all PCs, Macs and consoles can access the same game. The game won't be made for the Simmers of 2000 or 2010.

Just my opinion though. I've had to update my computers since 1993 to catch up with games and Sims 5 will be no exception. I think I have come to the end with Sims 4.

PS: EA Access subscription on Steam that will launch to players later this summer.
