Don't add back the missing content to Sims4.
I don't want the developers to add back the missing content from the previous games, you know why? Because there is so much content that needs to be added to this game to make it good, and some of it can't even be added back I just don't think it is worth it. I want the developers to stop working on Sims 4 and begin working on Sims 5. There is too much time and money that needs to be put into Sims 4 to make it on par with Sims 2 and 3 that it isn't worth it, I would rather they use that money to develop Sims 5.

Which basically if they stopped working on 4, The Sims 5 budget would still be the same.
The developers of The Sims 5 won't be the same developers of The Sims 4.
People who invested in The Sims 4 already, would get angry at EA ditching The Sims 4 so soon, they probably wouldn't invest in 5 so soon, with fear of it getting the same fete.
Lastly, apart from Open World, they can potentially add everything else back in some form.

Not to mention, apart from Open World, everything else CAN be put back into the game.
Also, this is the perfect opportunity to explore different areas of the Sims, that are advantage to The Sims 4 engine which previously weren't.

TS5 can either be really good or really bad. I have high expectations though, as I hope they learned what not to do.
I'm almost positive it is the same developers as they have said they have some of the devs who were around from Sims 1 days. And they may be upset, but Sims 4 has been a huge disappointment to numerous other fans and they would much rather see Sims 4 end early and them begin working on Sims 5. Or at least move most of the developers to Sims 5 and leave a few to work on Sims 4 content.
While this is true, I guarantee we will have to pay for that content that we had in the other base games. And why should we have to pay for that?
There will won't be a Sims 5 if TS4 end prematurely, think a bit before posting plum like this in the forums, and you will have to wait until 2020 to get your Sims 5 anyway, and i don't wanna stay that long without a proper sims game.
Developers are different from Content Creators.
The developers will work on The Sims 5, with some developers staying back on The Sims 4. Most people from now on will be content creators, creating new content for The Sims 4, but the game's engine etc. has already been developed so only a few devs need to stay back to properly implement new features.
The Sims 5 has rumoured to start development in November. As devs who have worked on The Sims franchise, have listed that Maxis has started working on a new game which includes Sims developers.
I doubt that the Sims Studio is working on a non-Sims game for Maxis.

Last time I checked, have we YET to pay for any base game content, or has it been patched in for free?
Why make assumptions that don't match up with whats been happening the last 6 months?

And do you really think that everyone who bought this game, had in mind that they hoped there would be no extra content?
People invested $60 - $80 in this game. They don't want that flushed down the drain, to buy another $60 game instead.
Every feature except Open World has the potential to return. So instead of having no content until 2019 (it takes 5 years to develop a new Sims game) why not just let people enjoy the content that comes, and if you aren't interested, you can still wait the same exact time for The Sims 5.
You act like The Sims 5 would come out in 2016 if they started working on it now. Reality is The Sims 3 took 5 years to make. The Sims 4 had leaked info in 2010. They work on these games for 5 years. Stopping work on The Sims 4 just puts people out of jobs, and The Sims 5 team has more reason to rush.
We don't need a rushed game. We need a good one.

The only reason they have given the base game content we have got for free was because they knew people would have rioted if they had to pay for it. That IS the only reason it was free, but I bet you the other base game content will not be free. I would love to be proven wrong, but I doubt I will be.
And when I said the developers I just meant the people at Maxis in general. As long as the majority are working on Sims 5 I am happy, and then they can have a few of their people add content for the people who play Sims 4.
I think some people here don't want to Sims 4 to fail and defend Sims 4 so much just to justify their purchase of it even though they know it was a rip off, not saying you are one of them though, that is just the impression I get.
And we wouldn't have to wait a full 5 years because most of the developers would be on Sims 5, whereas usually they have the developers split into groups to work on EPs and such. I don't want a rushed game either, but that is what we got with Sims 4 and because of this I think it is too much work to fix and thus not worth it when they could work on Sims 5 and make it great!
Yep that s what Grant Said.
I'm just saying it, but Grant was talking out of his 🐸🐸🐸🐸 there and was trying to get people to buy the game. I also remember people saying he went back and deleted that and apologized for saying it. There will be a Sims 5 the Sims makes too much money for them not to make one.
Sure but they aren't stopping, gladly, you people seem to forget that there are people who actually enjoy the game regardless of it's lack of content.
I'm not sure he was saying that just so that people buy the game.... either way, GTW seems to be making a ton of success as an Expansion and it's something we strongly asked for them to do and they did it even if they don't use the register xD which btw I'm kind of over it, I don't mind the employes to use the tablet
Dont give up on s4 yet a game like sims needs at least a year or 2 to fully give the game a chance and once more ep, gp or patches come out people might start to love it like the others.
Okay im not angel and have my own complaints, wishes and wants for s4 but I know another year down the line I will PROBABLY be congratulating the team for giving the majority what they want from s4. Obviously this is all speculation but I have my hopes and from experience of many different games (da being a biggy) I hope im right :#
People keep throwing the word potential around for Sims 4. People didn't pay $60-$80 for potential, they paid for a complete base game that was good enough to be fun. Sims 4 did not do this. Now if they had priced this game at like $30 or less then sure, but for the price they charged it was a rip off, and people were paying for "potential".
none of the sims games came out perfect it took eps and extras to make it better then what it started out like.
And come on when have you know any game company to give a new game cheap good or bad. Its a money making business.
I personally do not want them to get the idea that they can just drop the current installment, move on to the next one. I don't want that precedent set. If they do it to Sims4, how are you going to feel if Sims5 is released, you do enjoy it. But sorry, it is done after one EP, to focus on Sims6?
If they do it once, they can do it again.

I completely agree
I don't have the exact post where Grant had stated that in an interview but if you google "Sims 5 Won't Happen If Sims 4 Fails" you'll get numerous pages talking about it back in September.
