That Sims 3 Start Pack sure does cut it.

Remember that if Sims 4 fails, there will be no Sims 5.

I gave up on sims 4 two months ago and went back to sims 3. I got tired of the boring gameplay, silence on future content, silence on everything, and no real content coming out. SPs are great, but look at how long since the last game pack… that means even longer for an EP.

I don’t see sims 4 getting better any time soon. At least with Sims 3, I love the game, not forcing myself to play so I don’t waste all the money I put in to get good gameplay.

I am glad to see the high sales figures. What I think is more of a problem for EA is that the games are sold but people play a bit and then lose interest much more than was the case for 2 and 3. My guess is that they see a declining # of hours the longer the players own the game in too many cases. I never had that with 2 or 3. I played constantly from the start to the end of those versions.

And look at all those TS3 expansion packs... It makes me want to reinstall TS3

I think if they don’t give us something next week they’re going to lose more simmers. People won’t pick this game back up until the series is completed. By then EA/MAXIS will have lost so much money especially since everything will be on sale by then

Am I the only one not surprised by this though? It’s like the perfect game to play on a PC.

But it won’t be next year if they don’t get it together.

At this point there really isn’t anything more we can possibly do other than hope for the best.
Im also glad TS4 made it to the top because that shows people show interest in the game. Unfortunately this interest will fade away if everything stays stationary. Because a game like TheSims requires constant changes and updates to keep the game alive and fresh.

I too fear the future of the sims. The Sims 4 was released around end of 2014, of course many would want to buy it and want to know what’s new in the base game. And in 2015 they made it official for mac users.

But still I’m glad they made it to the top selling games. Im sure they’re trying to develop something new and exciting that will meet up to our standards. Let’s just hope and pray 🙂

Really surprising news! But I’m afraid this is not gonna last long.
We’ve been in the dark for a long time now and that’s pretty unusual.
Unless the developers are preparing something new and exciting, something that will actually be worth the wait then I think we are going to have the exact opposite results in 2016.
Lets admit it 2016 has been and probably will be (considering the latest facts *cough* no part in EA’s Play Event) a s****y year for The Sims 4.
To be honest I’m really afraid about the future of the sims at this point. I really tried to stay positive and hopeful but I think I reached my limit. And that wouldn’t worry me that much but unfortunately I’m not the only one feeling this way. And if people lose interest in the game, then the game will not exist anymore.
Show us signs that you ACTUALLY care about your OWN game. Do something. We’re here. There is still time…
