I'm sorry simmers! 💔
Simmers... I don't know what to say, but... I'm sorry! This is extremely heartbroken to me and my fellow Caribbean simmers who are part of The Sims community. Starting 2019 after the developers recently added hip-hop station to The Sims 4 back in 2018, I began manifesting Caribbean representation for The Sims 4. When I speculate the summer expansion pack of 2019, I wanted it to be centered around Caribbean cultures. But no, instead, it is now titled "Island Living" and centers around Hawaiian/Polynesian cultures and features a Hawaiian-themed island radio station. Years later after R&B came to the base game back in 2023, I started manifesting Caribbean representation again when Poolside Splash Kit was announced. In 2024, I tried again before the release of Lovestruck expansion pack. In 2025 where the celebration of The Sims' 25th anniversary and TwitchCon's 10th anniversary, I tried again and again before the release Businesses & Hobbies, Enchanted by Nature, and Adventure Awaits expansion packs, but before the release of Adventure Awaits, these simmers powerfully kept spamming "fix your game" too many times. And when Adventure Awaits was leaked before the announcement, this expansion pack was not centered around Caribbean cultures which instead centers around New Zealand culture. Ever since Caribbean cultures was lacked, I skipped TwitchCon trip. In 2026 which is the year we're currently in, Royalty & Legacy was claimed to be the last expansion pack, and then no Caribbean representation happened for this pack. As Royalty & Legacy features a West African-inspired kingdom Dambele, it features an Afrobeats station which is a West African music station rather than Caribbean. After the EPs were stopped, more bug fixes are happening until EA went private. I'm sorry to announce this to y'all simmers, but... during the final time, I decided not to continue fighting for Caribbean representation for The Sims 4. My manifestation for my vibrant island-themed wish has come to an end for me, and I also decided to skip TwitchCon trip again before the end of 2026. So if 2027 comes, will the next generation of The Sims come? RIP Caribbean representation for The Sims 4 2019-2026 💔😭
What mysteries in The Sims series are your favorite?
And what are your headcanons surrounding all or any of them? I don't know all the mysteries of the Sims Series but I do like the Villareal Family Mystery and what happened to Bella Goth. Also, I feel like the Mysteries page on Fandom is incomplete if anyone could let me know of other mysteries it doesn't include? It would be nice to fill that out a bit more. ---- My headcanon on the Villareal Family is that Mrs. Villareal was bitten by Vladislaus Straud, a vampire and quickly realized she felt the urge to drain her children and husband dry so she left to protect them. She changed her name and became Miss H*ll (Marybell Smith) as a partial reference to feeling bad about being away from her family but knowing she had the responsibility to never see them again. She sired Hugo and Max Villareal. Luna Villareal came around when Bella Goth disappeared and lost her memory. Between the time she was abducted and arrived in Strangetown, aliens combined Jacques' DNA after abducting him for a few nights and driving him insane, with Bella's and created Luna who was left on Jacques' doorstep but the aliens always watched out for her to document anomalies for their experiment as well as to protect her from danger. This is intended as a continuance of Jacques Villareal's Wife
Is it time for Sims 5?
They've been teasing it on and off but seems like it'll never come to pass. Sims 4 is 9 years old now and looking very dated graphically, even when you factor in that they are aiming for lower-spec PCs. They stripped out some key features from previous games like the unified worlds, 3D map, collections feature (where players can make their own item groupings), rabbit holes for jobs vs just vanishing. It's an old game built on top of a cancelled MMO game. Playing House Flipper 2, it feels visually like what Sims 5 could be though first person and minus the sims themselves. Of course, there's the issue always that EA is greedy and makes countless incredibly expensive DLC to basically sell you the game a piece at a time like a jigsaw with the pieces split between boxes they combined cost of which is eye-watering.
Sims Busting Out
Hello fellow simmers and EA management! I am almost 30 years old and have been a Simmer since I could handle a controller. I have acquired all of the Sims games on my PC, but my favorite is the Sims Bustin Out. I would Love Love Love if EA released the Sims Bustin Out for PC. This would make my whole gaming life!Sims 2 & 3
Hey everyone, I spent some time trying to figure out where to upload my message, I found out my best hope was posting on a forum. I know all of you won’t agree with me and that’s absolutely valid, we all don’t agree on the same things.. but I wanted to find out if there is a way I can suggest sims 2 and 3 being released on the ps5? I have played sims for years, I do play sims 4. I used to play the others too. I just thought since it was released on PC (I don’t have one & I’m not able to have one) I thought for the console players, it would be considered for it to be available on there. this really is a long shot and probably pointless to even ask and the chance of someone who needs to see this, seeing this is very low. If you don’t ask you don’t get anywhere & I thought I would shoot my shot. Ha! thanks, Paris :)EA Killed The Sims Mobile and Left Players With Nothing
This decision makes no sense and deserves to be called out. The Sims Mobile was the only Sims game on mobile that respected players’ time, creativity, and emotional investment. Instead of expanding it with more careers, hobbies, and worlds — which players repeatedly asked for — EA chose to completely shut it down. This was not because the game was bad. This was not because there was no demand. This was because EA decided it was easier and more profitable to abandon it. Pushing players toward The Sims FreePlay is not a solution. FreePlay is a fundamentally different game: excessive timers, limited Create-a-Sim, restricted building, outdated mechanics, and aggressive monetization. It does not replace Sims Mobile in any meaningful way. For iPad and mobile-only players, EA effectively removed The Sims entirely. There is no alternative, no successor, and no acknowledgment that a large part of the community preferred story-driven, fast, creative gameplay over timer-based grinding. This shutdown shows a complete disregard for player feedback. Many of us would have continued supporting Sims Mobile if EA had invested in meaningful content instead of abandoning it. EA didn’t just shut down a game — it broke trust with its players. At the very least, the Sims Mobile community deserves: • a clear and honest explanation • acknowledgment of what was lost • and reassurance that future Sims mobile projects will not repeat this mistake Silence and forced migration to a worse product is not acceptable.SIMS BUSTIN OUT
there should be a release of sims busting out for Xbox or the switch only or ps5 I would love this game I loved it so much on PlayStation 2 and I heard they can play on Xbox the first gen I was wondering if they can make it compatible for the Xbox one i would love to replay this time .So not fair
hello simmers , iris Ramsay here I've never done this before, but I'm seeing all this news and chatter about EA remastering the sims .and I'm sort of bothered about it..I'm 57 years young, and I've been playing the Sims since day one ..really big on it in my household.. So after 24 years and thousands of dollars I have spent on the Sims ..you mean to tell that they are going make it better and make simmers pay for it..that's not right nor is it fair..I mean after all the issues and list of problems that we let slip by because we love the Sims.. Why can't they remaster it for all of us..
