The damage TS4 has done to the reputation of the series will almost certainly mean that unless dramatic changes are made to bring TS5 in line with traditional sims games, it will barely get off the ground.
I find TS4 to be more in line with traditional sims games than TS3. I get not eveyone likes it, but maybe getting a bit dramatic there.
Do you think it might be time for EA to bite the bullet and start putting their games back onto Steam. Sims 3 is still very active there, so if TS4 got a Steam release, as many have vowed not to use Origin, the amount of players could potentially increase.
I actually launch my TS4 game through Steam and even stream the game through the overlay, so that way my friends can watch and we chat at the same time. Unlike Origin who passes of the streaming side to Twitch - which I hate with a passion.
Yes they really should bring it over to Steam in addition to Origin. It will definitely increase increase sales and even bring in new fans
I also still hope they make a console version. The Playstation 4 is a massive success and the Nintendo Switch is also pretty trendy, hope the new Mobile game is a sign of the franchise busting out again.
Uhh console version is a bad idea, we all remember what happened with the games after 1 week of playing *shudders*

It takes far more than rotational play to make the game a Sims game.

So you know what? Maybe what makes a Sims game feel like a Sims game to me or @luimistelija isn't what makes it feel like one to you. And as for "worthless personalities" or "massively simplified relationships," that's subjective - we don't all use the same checklist for what makes a good Sims personality or desirable relationship. So is whether frequent random death is desirable.
At some point, you just might have to live with the fact that not everyone values what you value. We have different tastes and different opinions. And for some of us, our tastes and opinions align more with Sims 4 than with some other version of Sims. You don't have to like it, but it's reality.

I want what I want; you want what you want. I don't have the data to determine what things were popular, but I've seen all sorts of people who like all sorts of things and all sorts of people who don't like those very same things. I suppose EA has surveys that suggest which things are actually more popular than others; web forum posting isn't a reliable way to measure that. I know that some things that other people say they like I like too (rotational play; being able to add lots to a world); I know that some things other people say they like I don't like (time jumping backward in rotational play; story progression; commuting in an open world). I have no issue with saying that I want the game to be like I want it to be, which this one is close to (it's not my version of perfect), even if there are people who don't like what I like - just like you have no issue with saying what you want the game to be like even if there are people who don't like what you like. One of us is not more right than the other. I just got lucky this version and it's closer to what I think my ideal Sims game is than previous versions were. That's all. I'm not trying to break the Sims franchise or make it unpopular.
Regardless of my point about the lack of real (as opposed to anecdotal) data available on which things make a version popular, as far as I can tell from what the head of EA says to investors in a place in which he's legally responsible for what he says, there are enough people who think that this version is okay as Sims goes that they're playing it and buying stuff. So maybe what's it's doing is popular and it's not just me who's okay with the direction it's going. For all we know it could even be that it's you who's off the mark but don't realize it.
Either way, it's fine for you to like what you like and it's fine for me to like what I like. We don't need to attack each other with accusations of wanting to ruin things for everyone else just because we don't want to give up something we (and others) like. Maybe we can just leave it to EA to figure out what's actually popular and just voice our own personal opinions and preferences instead of attacking each other.

You know what I think makes a good Sims game? One that is on a PC!
Cool! So you can play that. And people who like mobile games can play mobile games. It's actually awesome that there've been both for many years now and it's never come down to one or the other. People who like both can even play both, as I see many people on these forums do.

I always knew that Sims 4 was doing really well, no matter the negativity spread on the forums. And I'm glad that Sims team could confirm it.
$405 million a year is a whole lot of money.
How's that for "no one buys this game, no one plays this game, boo-hoo"?
On the side note, I'm really looking forward to people understanding that treating Sims 4 like the black sheep of the family is pointless. Just because you don't like the game, it does not mean that it's worse than the previous titles. It just means you don't like the game.
Like, I didn't like Sims 3. It didn't go well with me.
But you don't see me going into the Sims 3 forums and bashing it.

Too be honest I cannot remember the last time I played a game on my phone. It must have been Borb Factory (Anyone remember that?) and of course 'Snake' which was so popular back in the day that I dare say that it got more plays than The Sims itself!
So yes, it is about time that The Sims decided to compete with the legendary snake! ;)

33% increase year-over-year in Q4 is a virtually useless statistic without context. If Q4 from last year saw a 40% decrease in play then the 33% increase is a wash disguised as a positive.

Nope. Player base refers to the number of base units they have sold/activated.
ETA: So the 2/3 increase to the base represents an increase to the pool of potential customers. There are more players who theoretically will buy additional content.
Active players refers to players actively playing the game, not overall people who own the game.
ETA: Q4 saw a monthly increase of active players month over month. Toddlers released in January, as did the Vampire GP, there was also a bowling SP. Compared to Q4 last year there was a lot more going on
