"EA has decided to give The Sims 4 development team more time to craft the sequel. Today they announced that Sims 4 will be arriving in Fall 2014, a delay of a few months.
The company said in their earnings report last May that they would be releasing the game in "early 2014." They didn't provide a reason for delaying the game until the fall. The desire for more polish time, a holiday season launch, or both probably drove the decision. "

Yes. I'm hoping they realized that some of the features they removed made a lot of simmers worried so they are trying to find a way to incorporate those features back into the game, even if it means pushing the release date back.
This time, I'm holding onto my money until EA shows more cards.
