    If they are, I hope they are listening to the players this time.

    I'd like to think they'd never omit a basic life stage in a base game at launch ever again, but knowing EA....

    I doubt it. All snippets from developer comments over the years seems to indicate that The Sims 4 will have a longer development and support cycle than its predecessors.

    I highly doubt it but I will say that from what I observed they've been porting existing packs to console lately

    I think planning has probably already taken place, but they're most likely still in the very early stages of the game. I don't think they'd be very far into development.

    I hope they do.
    Sims 4 felt unfinished when they released it so they should take their time on The Sims 5

    That's so lame. I wish they had done that with a better game like The Sims 2 or The Sims 3, instead. The Sims 3 could have used a lot more polish.

    Oh well, at the end of the day, the longer they focus on The Sims 4, the more time I get to have a break from spending money on the franchise. The Sims 4 is perhaps a much needed break from the franchise for me, given how much money it (the franchise) costs. Just can't maintain that forever.

    I honestly don't know, but I hope so. I would think that they're at least discussing it.

    I don't think so. It doesn't even feel like sims 4 is half way finished. There's a lot more that can be done with it.

    I'm pretty sure they are. I remember reading somewhere that it takes about 4 years to make a game which would mean that they start making a new sims game or at least planning it about a year after they launch the current game. I believe they have probably been working on it for a while. You don't make games overnight and they usually start announcing/promoting the game about a year and a half before it releases and it's usually in some of the final fazes of completion. They usually have people testing it and getting rid of bug and things like that. Let's say that it is coming in 2020 then it would be halfway through development by now.

    Just saying if they are, a fully optimised open world or semi open world would be fab ;)

    I don't think they will be. They have just released a new game pack (i think it's like a jungle themed one) and they have shown no signs of stopping working on TS4, maybe in the distant future.

    If they do come out with the sims 5, I would like to see traits like "determined," "strong-willed,"

    I don't know, but I saw a video by JamesTurnerYT where he made up the release of SIMS 5. Very exciting for a moment...then not!

    I honestly think that they might be throwing ideas around the table about the Fifth Installment, but mostly focusing on creating more content for The Sims 4 that we've been waiting long and hard for. But if they do make a fifth one, I feel the best way to make it is to make some kind of 20th Anniversary version or something where it includes our favorite features from all 4 games, while also including some new features as well. I would be happy with this the most. This would probably mean that it would have to be released around 2020, even though it might take longer. We just need to be patient :3

    But I think the better question is: What do you think we will get for the 20th Anniversary of The Sims? We might get a giant update for The Sims 4 with amazing features, or we'll get an "Anniversary Edition" for the Sims 5, like I mentioned. I just hope that we will get something amazing.

    Nah, sis. Every little hope we had for SIMS 5 has died. Sims 4 itself is dead already. Have you seen what's been going on with MAXIS lately? MAXIS/ SIMS are starting to stink like a rotting corpse. Sad but true...

    It is sad... but I still have hope and patience for the next *possible* Sims game. Same with GTA 6. The patience is ridiculous...

    Oh, we will definitely have GTA 6, there is no doubt. The only thing is that we will have to wait longer than we usually do.

    That's true. But I watched a YT video and realized that the reason why The Sims 4 doesn't always live up to how it could be is because of EA not handling games right. Have you noticed since The Sims partnered with EA, things started going bad here and there. Now I don't mean to throw shade at anyone/anything, but I feel that's true.
