Will Sims 5 have different kind of expansions? (If Sims 5 will ever be)
I wonder if Sims 5 will even exist. But if it will... I am kinda tired of an old cycle base game - seasons - pets - uni - clubs - apartments. I m not sure I would even switch to sims 5.
The reason I went form sims 2 to sims 3 was open world and it's graphics.
The reason I went from sims 3 to sims 4 was that sims 3 was essentially broken and unplayable (30min loading screens + save errors, ugh).
But why would I go from sims 4 to sims 5? Sims 4 looks good. It runs smoothly, it doesn't give me save errors, loading screens are shortest ever, I own all the packs I need, If I don't like someting there is a free mod to fix it.
So why would I go to another game to buy the same packs over and over again? Unless the game would alredy has everything necessary and the packs will not be the same? What will the Sims 5 have to offer that is so new and shiny I'll just have to switch to a new game?
Maybe the base game could include season and pets but has a small world. And Expansion would expand the world, add new areas to live and new activities from that area. So the base game would be American suburb as usual, but the Expansion would add Africa (with safari parks), Asia, Europe, Russia, covering the whole world eventually. Sims 4 is kinda doing it already and I like it, but Sims 4 had to mix it with standart EPs.
I will not be angry at EA for repeating the cycle. It's their busyness how they do they busyness. I would not spend my time hating on Sims 5. It wouldn't be the game's fault, really, that I am 30 years old and has played sims 2&3&4 and want something fresh instead of the same game updated for younger audience. I don't think ppl over 30 are the majority of sims paying customers or that it would make sense to target that audience. I am just curious will the sims 5 be intresting for me? If it won't, I leave it be and stay with older games.
I also kinda suspect Sims 5 will be an animal crossing style game with a subscription service. You have your personal world you can do whatewher but you can visit other ppl and see how they world are and and host other players in your world. And everything that comes to the game is base game update, so every subscribed user plays the same game. And I don't know how I feel about it. I was strongly against this idea before but animal crossing is fun. If I can have a traditional sims experience in my personal world and the subscription cost is reasonable, it might work.
