I think the above requirements is a balance between mid end to mid-high end computer. I hope the official requirement is more or less similar to what I made.
Let's not forget that the crummy spec requirements for TS4 weren't because they wanted to be "friendly to old machines." It was because they wanted it to be a more shallow online game, which have lower reqs than regular games, that they had to make offline in just two years. If they had spent the time fixing the engine or reworking it we may have gotten a 2015-2016 release date and an overall much better game.

I agree, offering multiple graphics options offers a balance between accessibility and quality
But if they make it mid range and above, they will miss out on a lot of sales. I bought a potato laptop to play the sims 4, and It worked just fine for the first couple of years. I had everything that came before city living on it, and it did fine till toddlers come out.
After, I did invest in a good asus laptop with air vents on the side, a 1070 graphics card and I think 16gb memory. And it was not cheap, I’m hoping it will work fine for the sims 5 for the first few years. But like I said.... they will lose money if they make the requirements too high to start. And I just can’t see EA passing up money like that....
Why is this logic only applied to the sims games? Tons of other games have high requirements and dont lose money. Besides sims isnt their only revenue anyway.
Just it's streaming, you need a good internet connection, nothing else.
That's the issue right there. Not everyone wants to depend on the internet for gaming. I know that I don't. When my internet goes out, I'm still capable of playing games if I want to.

Exactly! Sometimes we have bad storms and lose net for hours, I like to be able to still play without an internet connection.
