I have been dealing with EA and Origin for 3 days trying them to return a game to me and remove my bank information from the wrong account. I have never in my life dealt with such a shady company.

Does this mean we can finally put the “Sims 4 is a failure” nonsense to rest at last?

I’d love more substantial EPs and GPs over stuff packs. Who knows if they’d change their business decisions years into development but it would make the game much richer and enjoyable. There’s plenty still to explore but I can’t imagine 1 EP a year doing a ton to alleviate that.

Agreed. Ea really needs to treat the franchise and the consumers better. The team and fans have proven that the franchise and ts4 is worth investing more. Give them whatever they need be it more resources or staff to increase production.

Actually it benefits the franchise and consumers when the bigwigs see that the game is flourishing by bringing in money. This can hopefully make them further invest in future games and give more resources to the sims team. If the game was a flop there would be no sims 5 and certainly a lot of folks out of a job. It’s a money thing for ea just like any for profit organization so good numbers makes them happy. Some of the team were players before and it’s obvious many of them are just as passionate about their work. If you choose to incorrectly think the teams don’t work hard or are/going to be “slacking” than that’s your path you choose. You may not like how everything is done but it’s not slapped together in two seconds.

It actually motivates then seeing the potential of product and how much more money they can get from it since people are buying it more and more. If it was doing bad then they’d have slacked cause there’d be no purpose investing on something that is slowly dying. In a nutshell, it’s good news that ts4 is doing good.

I agree with you. I really think that they thought that the game is going to end after it fail at launch but didn’t shut down the franchise like mass effect simplybecause they knew that dlc will give them money. Sims team looks like proves to them that they are capable of making this franchise great again. Now this was succesful, Perhaps EA can give us another EP team to get back on 2 EP a year

It’s amazing how little EA cared about Sims 4’s developement prior to and surrounding release. The series is one of their biggest properties with endless spin-offs. It’s up near the top of the largest Pc franchises ever and they still seemed surprised by how well it does, generation after generation. Maybe it’ll convince them to invest some more time and resources into improving this and feature releases.
