The world is changing. Do you think TS5 will reflect that?

Just wondering.
No gatherings larger than 10 people? Masks and gloves? All social interaction is online. Social distant sims? 6 feet apart.
I mean they can't really do this game like it used to be. We don't want to be reminded of how the world used to be, when we are stuck at home for who knows how long. Too scared to go out.
TS5 new death, gather with 20 sims or more.
I think the Sims games will change with the times ... we are about to suffer.
No jobs going out unless its essential. No restaurants. No movies. No parties. No holidays. No black Friday....
If the world changes, then The Sims have to change with the world. Make it so, EA.

2. For all who purchased Dine Out we offer a new update called Take Out.
3. The highest ranking thread in the feedback forums is a post were people describe the designs they want on their surgical masks.
4. Based upon the rise of owning household pets due to the quarantine, Congress accuses Maxis of orchestrating the entire event in order to rise sales of My First Pet.
5. The Landgraabs keep trying to talk your sim into getting microchiped.
6. Every channel on television is named "FEAR".
7. If your sim ever coughs or sneezes all other sims in the area run around as if something is on fire.
8. While you can still own as many outside BBQ's as you want, if you ever actually use one and a neighbor sees you, they will call the authorities who will arrive in full SWAT gear to shut that down.
9. Level 10 of the politician career will unlock the ability to once again attend social events where you can eat, drink, dance, and laugh with other politicians. Mostly laughing about the rest of the citizens.
10. Because of the world-wide economic crash, the international bankers now legally own everything. Every sim is stacked and packed in studio apartments which all look alike. There is no room for individuality, creativeness, or free thinking. You will do what you're told, think what you're told, and say what you're told. Remember; happiness is mandatory. Failure to meet these goals will mean you are obviously mentally ill and you will be taken away.
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
Sure but they have to knock first to get into the house.
I see, but they could visit business lots, maybe even go in a group. Also, can they not steal stuff that is left outside like lawn furniture, bikes, gnomes, the money tree?
This is the world for now. It's not forever. So no, I don't think the Sims 5 should reflect any of this. These are not permanent world changes.
This isn't the first time the world has had to deal with a pandemic like this and it's likely not the last. If 100 years ago they did this social distance thing and isolation and got back around to the world we grew up in with gatherings, concerts etc, then absolutely we will get back to that again after this is over.
If I want to play this kind of story in my sims game (and I have with apocalypse type challenges) then I already can. The game does not need to make it the only way to play it.
Sure they can do all of that too. My kleptos can only take one thing at a time though. Burglars of the past could take items until they were caught basically.
Anyways, I was just making a joke because it amused me that they have to have "permission" to steal basically. Sorry.
LMAO
That may be, but it won't (hopefully) when/if TS5 releases. The sims reflecting my reality would be a pretty horrendous game that nobody in their right mind would play and certainly not pay for.
I'm sure there are other games you can play if you want pandemics/epidemics, dystopia and disasters.

Agreed.
100 years ago they really couldn't social distance. They had no way of letting everyone know that is what to do. Newspapers, that is all they had. Now that we are all connected on this web, I really don't see how we are going to go back like it was just last year. Everyone is going to have PTSD from this.
In TS1 there were no cell phones at all. In TS2 you could buy cell phones, but there were still pay phones and land lines. I think in TS3, that's when it went all cell phones but you still had land lines, no pay phones. In TS4, I don't think there's anything but cell phones. The game changes with real life.
Cell phones are a mundane convenience. Also:
No, you're too scared go out. Not everyone lets fear rule their life.
I certainly do want my game to reflect how the world use to be (and will be again). I certainly don't want my sims game to reflect how things are now. Having to mask up to go in public, staying 6 ft apart from other sims, no gatherings more than 10 sims. Ugh, how utterly boring would that be?? Why would I even play that?
I mean, certainly, if people want their game to reflect that, they can incorporate that into their own games right now - on their own. With the choices they make during game play and Custom content (to get masks and such). If they changed my game or (heaven forbid) made Sims 5 a coronavirus version of the game, I'd walk away without hesitation. I seriously doubt that would every happen (like never happen), but still.
