Tired of Sims 5?

At the outset, I do want to say that I eventually want 5 and honestly think it is an inevitability. Too much money was made from 4 and the rest for there not to be one. This being said, I realize we all have different opinions on 5. When it will versus when it should come, what it will be like, pessimism versus optimism, etc. (I dare call myself cautiously optimistic, but anything resembling the Sims Online/the Sims style MMO and I'm out.)
However, I have to say I am tired of hearing about it. 5 has been a hot topic since the disastrous (opinions here, but it was so bare at launch without pools, ghosts, etc.) release of 4. I understand, of course, but the fervor never seemed to die down. It is coming up on the 7th year of speculation for 5; wondering when 4 will end so 5 can begin; wondering if 5 will be better or worse than 4. At this point, I do not want to hear anything if it is not from the devs.
I absolutely would be game to discuss 5 had we even the slightest real information about it. I remember reading a magazine article about 4 being in development when I was in middle school and it sparking all sorts of thoughts from the "most realistic Sims ever" claim. We do not even have that much for 5, though, right? No concrete details or dev promises yet?
So what does everyone else think? Obviously do not go into forums about 5 if you do not want to hear about it, and I don't, but 4 is so linked to the possibility and shape of 5 it is hard to escape it with any topic once it goes on long enough. I am just curious if others have similar feelings to me, and if not, how aren't you burned out on 5 when we have had 7 years of speculation on bread crumbs?

Sims 5 being made doesn't necessarily mean that it will be the perfect game everyone seems to be expecting, it's good to be optimistic but also realistic. If it does turn out to be a good game then I'll be pleasantly surprised.
People on twitter saying they just want ts4 to be abandoned because of their deep hate for it and to bring out ts5. But how can they bring out a game that's not ready? And apparently the happiness of ts4 players who enjoy it means nothing? Only their selfish desires.
People are free to do a they please so I won't judge. They are free to talk about it as much as they want but I know how you feel. 😌
All games have flaws and good things about them ts5 will be no different. Some will hate it and some will love it.
- weather has to be in base game
- Height slider base game
- Curve wall for building
Many more.
They only plan three years ahead or so. They make new plans too.

Another guru has spoken on this no more than a few months ago or less. In an interview he said basically there are more years left. I can't remember the exact words forgive my bad memory 😅 but I'm sure someone here remembers!!
Plus so much stuff is missing. It would look really bad if they just abandoned it and brought out a new one before this is even complete. It definitely needs a few more years. And they planned this to last much longer than older titles. And in addition to that this game is very stable. It can definitely handle more. No reason to abandon it yet.
Im definitely not spoiled or rich 😂 I still want Sims 5 though lol;;

I don't want to start over when ts4 is finally getting to time where we could finally have some interesting packs and game starts to feel less empty
like with ts1 and 2 i was absolutely obsessed with last packs for they were iconic and never wanted those to stop releasing (and still wish they didnt cause i mean i would have really liked to see more for both)
ts3... well that is first and only time i wished for iteration to end
but that is because no amount of fixes or content would have made that game enjoyable for me (the overall art style and everything just really didn't vibe for me at all so i saw no hope for anything cool)
ts4 i have much more hope for because at times it gives me ts2 feelings and i feel like if they just added certain gameplay things and few toggles (which definitely do not require new base game) it could be so good
but obviously they won't have time to do that if they suddenly escape and go making sims 5 or whatever club penguin they were planning
+ in general if they leave ts4 when they could finally be making it worth being called sims game im leaving the chat i don't even have hope ts5 would go any better
and yes obviously all this is speculation and they may just surprise me with something completely different like "ts5 is historical occult daydream with dragons vampires and medieval content in base game and you must get it" but i highly doubt.
especially cause that would just be called Sims Medieval: the what it should have been

They might be smart though and purposefully took out open world in 4 only to reintroduce it in 5, in order to make 5 seem more revolutionary. But that's not going to fool me. If 5 remains single player they are going to have to do some SIGNIFICANT changes (aka no rabbit holes, open world, more content in the beginning and not the same EPs over and over again)
I have no idea about the validity of this tweet mind you but simmers on twitter seem to think it's valid. Personality I will only believe it if and when an official announcement is made from EA/Maxis.
(kidding)
Don't you think a mix of 2&3 is just, well, 4 again?
The only way to validate 5 is if there's a multi-player option. Otherwise we're just repeating history. The game needs to EVOLVE
Instead, it seems to have become another debate on what vision people want from 5. Ironically, one of the very things I mentioned being tired of.
I have decided to ignore any thread about 5 until there's an official announcement from ea (i'm clearly not doing it right now, but your question is different...). If im not wrong, last year the same site has made a very similar speculation about the same. Yes, speculation, cause in nowhere in the job offerings you can find a clear reference to sims 5. They may be about 5, they may not be.... Meanwhile there are lots of clicks to fuel the game...
