Time for The Sims franchise to get some "friendly" competition.

Don't get me wrong, I love playing the Sims. HOWEVER, by not interacting with fans and dishing out shortcoming SPs, GPs, EPs is NOT OK. This is our hard earned cash that we are giving to them. Only to have our requests not be acknowledged in the way they should. Questions keep getting unanswered. Smh. The foolery is getting a bit much. I thought when you advance, you're aiming to become greater than before?
This is a small thought of how I really feel since we continue to not have our request not be taken for positive growth. So if they had some competition from someone who understands their fans and goes above and beyond to make them happy; iont think the Sims would stand a chance.
Sorry not sorry

That's going to take a lot of patience. And also the acknowledgement that Colton is full of every word that will be replaced by (plum).
But, to contribute to the actual topic, I've seen some videos from alphas and betas of new Life Simulation games. I think even the studio behind Cities: Skylines indicated they'd like to try it themselves as well. That got a real cheer from people upset with SimCity.

inb4 that idea becomes a nightmare
It would be great to have what we've been asking for since TS4 launch, like paradox did with Cities Skylines, and now nobody remembers SimCity 2013.
Are you serious? I want to watch them! you have gave me a little hope
what others companies just need to do is actually put all the things maxis take out from base game and put in base game, have less pack and more content in base then boom, end of maxis and sims because for ea add more "base game" will be too "difficult and expensive".
bethesda in E3 showed for mobile a "litte fallout sims" game this show they can be actually interesting in try a life simulator even the new fallout 4 have a lot of life simulator game, you gonna have to "rebuild cities" hiring and find npcs to live in your town and help protect it, the game will gonna have a economy they are trying to add a lot of "life simualtor aspects" but will be in a after apocalypse world.
for single player from a strong and very know company bethesda is the only i know so far with interesting on that.
for multiplayer or you can find a lot a one very good which strong promise if you don't care multiplayer is identity(will be like a mmo where you can "host the game and choose be public or private) where the game already a lot of content in dev a really lot of things and the game focus will be life simulator but in multiplayer will be something like what second life was supposed to be but which high quality graphics and engineer.
I'm not wishing for anything, but Maxis does leave the door wide open for someone else to come in and deliver where they can't seem too.
yeah prety much did, with sims 4 they did exactly the same chance to others companies as simcity to "easy release a bette game" and stolen the costumers from them.
I agree. Maxis hasn't released a quality product in years. They really only had 2 successful video game franchises and they destroyed SimCity themselves. There is no blaming it on time or resources, they flat out shipped a bad game and then couldn't even be honest with players when reactions to the game were overly negative. The Sims could go either way; Maxis executives could get their head out of the clouds and deliver something with quality, or they could release more EP's that don't address anything players want.
They need a good kick up the rear end. They choose to ignore long time loyal family players, so be it. I choose to hold onto my money and give it to another dev whenever they enter into the life simulator game. if they loose money from a new competitor in the market, so be it. They brought it on themselves.
It'd be interesting to see how a new company interprets such a game. However, Paradox stated that they're not looking towards a LifeSim somewhere recently on their Twitter. While I do like Sims being the head honcho of LifeSims and I do love the Sims 4 and the changes they're making to improve it, it'd be a wake up call and it would be rather entertaining to see Maxis kick into overdrive and deliver swift and finishing justice to put any competition to shame by releasing content and patches to make the Sims 4 a formidable continuation of the series. Basically, "We run this show and we'll show you how it's actually done."

Up until that Gamescom presentation, I had hope that The Sims 4 was going to get better. I still have hope that The Sims 4 is going to get better. However, that tiny slither of hope took a massive hit when they opened with a trailer that I hate, and I personally think completely mis-represents the series. Then, almost all of that remaining hope was destroyed when Rachael took a SELFIE, and DANCED ON STAGE.
Seriously, EA needs to start caring about their work, and stop pumping out plum.
I wonder when will people realize all of the free stuff and expansion/ stuff packs game packs were just stuff that they had planned to release in the first place with the base game. Only reason toddlers are on the survey now is because they have ran out of the content. So they figured to let you guys pay for it. For " new" content.
So yeah, I really hope another company that tries.
LOL! Classic
I agree, this isn't for the fans, but yeah, some healthy competition would be nice. I would kill for Will Wright to snatch this baby back and be all like: THIS IS THE SIMS (in his best Spartan yell of course).
An amazing game like the Sims shouldn't be limited by the developers, we want more freedom and power to create!
You are absolutely right! What's "wrong" with The Sims 4 runs way deeper than toddlers. I could not agree more with everything you said.
The developers have limited so much and they act as if it's no big deal that their game doesn't compare to the other games.
> I hope any company who challenges Maxis in life simulation fails. >:)
Maxis no longer has anything to do with the game. EA runs the show. Sorry :(
Umm... Maxis is a division of EA. EA publishes The Sims, but the Maxis division of EA makes it. That's the way it always has been, since The original Sims.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
The Sims 4 is the very definition of a travesty. It's time for the torch to be passed.
