I don't think Sims 4 is going to last forever .How things we're run this year We got two expansion packs, and two game pack this year .Also we got Occultss in two expansion packs. Mermaids in Island living, robots in University. The next years will be the same. They're going to keep making more big packs and add stuff from the previous game .Than Sims 5 will be announced.

Im mixed ,I feel like sims 4 is my least favorite version, but I do enjoy it. I feel like if they keep adding good expansion packs, and things that are still missing. Why Sims 5 is being worked on .I feel like its a bittersweet win.
I think they pushed a ton of content this year due to demand (both from execs and Simmers) and because they wanted this year to be big, what with the two anniversaries (the TS4 one in September and the upcoming franchise one in early 2020). If they go back to 1 EP per year, I personally think 3 are not unfathomable. Sure, the popular ones from previous versions are mostly done but there's still Generations and a futuristic pack and then there's space for things that weren't done before.
But yeah, it will end eventually. Just maybe not as soon as some people hope. Then again, it will maybe be too soon for others, especially those who weren't there from 2014.
EDIT : Well let me explain why I think that, Yes I KNOW there are many things to be yet introduced , so it may to you that it is not far time it is done. I mean it is over stayed it's welcome with me, and even if there are new things coming to it...I am JUST not impressed anymore and I KNOW I won't ever be, so I want this installment to just stop already and go on to the next because this installment is a utter failure in my eyes and nothing can redeem it.
For me, it's as simple as this. The game arrived fragmented beyond belief for a base game. Some of the patches (such as the toddler patch) made it a lot better, but the majority of DLC packs only hindered it from being its best. This wasn't the iteration to stretch out longer than TS3.
After TS4, I certainly have less trust in EA to create a good experience for this franchise, but I simply think more can be done with a new base game rather than continue dragging out this one.
By that time,people will have gotten so sick and tired of Sims 4 that they would of most likely moved on to other games that aren't Sims 4. Sims 1 didn't last forever....neither did Sims 2 or Sims 3. If EA has any good business sense,they'll know to end Sims 4 in 2020-2021,and to start on Sims 5. To keep Sims 4 going on until 2024 would not be a smart business move-in fact,EA could lose money and loyal customers if they kept Sims 4 going on for many more years. I think EA is smart enough to end Sims 4 soon and move on to Sims 5.
it kinda pees me off they didn't bother to stretch out the previous versions long like this one..WOULD LOVE to have new content for TS2
I don't agree. There are people still playing TS2 and TS3 and aren't in the slightest bored with it. TS3 is getting an update to be playable on Macs, this wouldn't be done if it didn't still have players. Aspyr also updated their version of TS2 to be playable on Macs' new OS. And Mac players are most definitely not the majority.
It's not always about the next shiny new thing. They know their audience and who's buying and playing what. Sure, there's a demand for TS5 but there's also still a demand for TS4, including for new content.
So even if it takes 2 years or even 3 years, I wouldn't mind. But I am happy to know that every day with the Sims 4 is a day closer to the Sims 5.
Unless it's really disappointing of course, then I may not buy it at all. I had no intention of buying sims 3 untill they fixed things up adequately enough but I still miss having sims with personality and many other features.
I hope it will be really new, perhaps have some new lifestages and/or gradual aging. I hope there will be revolutions with TS5, they need to make up for the joke that The Sims has become with TS4. And I do like the game, don't get me wrong, I do play it, but I just think it's boring while I still can play TS3 hours on end.
Sim Guru Duke spoke of how terrified employees were when he spoke of the potential for five more years- that’s very telling.
EA are never going to announce when the sims 4 is ending, they will keep repeating more years to come even if that’s not the case. I think it will probably end 2020 or 2021.
Exactly, people don't understand but EA is smart. If they tell us, TS4 gonna end in 1 year, will you guys really continue to buy it? Not sure. Simmers always say ''TS4 has its potential'' even after 5 years. This one & only sentence is the reason why they still keep saying us there's many years, cause they know you still have hope things will change, so you continue buying.
