I'd be happy with Sims 5 coming out next year and Sims 4 going on with kits for those who don't want to go on to Sims 5. I don't like games' series coming to an end. I get lots of enjoyment out of building and playing rotationally in the current iteration.
It's probably a race between EA's new iteration and Rod Humble's new game now. Paralives won't be strong enough to cope with both without a huge cash injection.

What is Rod Humbles new game?
Nobody knows. He used to work for EA/Maxis Sims games and left to be the head of Second Life the online simulation game. He is now the general manager for the Berkeley studio of Paradox Interactive and working on something there of which nothing has leaked so far. It's rumoured to be a rival to the Sims' games but could be anything!
I hope never, especially if S5 is going to be online multiplayer and competitive. Just let S4 keep going for those of us who don’t like to share.
All games have to end sooner or later. Why would EA make a SIMS game competitive? Sims isn't a football game or a Roblox Obby Contest game-it's a simulator game.And I doubt EA would be stupid enough to risk losing thousands of dollars repeating the SimCity 2013 fiasco
If EA wants to end Sims 4 by next year,let them end Sims 4. Let them put out Sims 5. We'll never know how good Sims 5 might be if people keep wanting Sims 4 to keep going forever and ever.
Before TS5, TS4 needs to be remastered graphically for release to PS5.
That won't happen.
TS5 is scheduled to be on PS5. Not TS4. If the devs haven't improved TS4's game engine or fixed its other core issues and mountain of bugs, what makes you think they will graphically remaster it for PS5?
I'm sure it will happen after they fix all bugs in TS4.
So... never?
Honestly, not soon enough for me. TS4 kinda killed any love I had for this game, I rarely play any of them any more. I have my eye on Paralives but I’m not holding my breath.
Life is short, and I’m not getting any younger. EA/Maxis and the devs had more than enough chances to pull their fingers out; they didn’t. At least not for me. And now they want me to pay a fiver for dust. Lmao. The cheek.
Think about it. They would no introduce a new pack type if they are planning to end it to soon.
Or it could be that they will continue with "kits" after TS4 ends because they have such little content it would be much easier to continue to update TS4 for smaller type packs

That wired article is just a "my favourite packs" kind of article. For instance, vampires was the best ever in any iteration of the game. It's super well done, but the author classifies it as "you don't need this pack". It seems that the author doesn't like the idea of sims fearing the vampires ( problably refering to the break ins..? Or the fact that a vampire drinks human blood...?).

@texxx78, I never quoted an article from Wired.com, that was from @Sk8rblaze commenting on my comment
Oh i know, and i havent quoted you, at least on purpose... i think that when we quote someone that quoted someone before, everyone is getting notifications... i don't know why the forum is working that way...
I think EA is going to keep creating 4 content until the money well dries up, which might be soon based on all the new job listings they've posted. They might also just keep pumping out Kits until the end of time. It's anyone's guess really
I currently have a suspicion that Sims 5, whatever it may be, is being made with a mind to keeping Sims 4 running and popping out material AT THE SAME TIME.
Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.
Believe it was said back in early 2019 that they had about 20 more packs planned and it was implied that those 20 packs would be released over a 3 year period. It was unclear though if that was just for Sims 4 or both Sims 4 and Sims Mobile. ALSO... the Sim Guru who made the comment is no longer on the "main" Sims 4 team though he is still employed by them. (it was SimGuruGrant for anyone interested.)
That said, I suspect that their plans have changed a bit in light of last year. And regardless of if the "20 more pack" was a concrete number or even legit, I think they have probably altered their plans a bit.

Have a look at the Sims Wiki article about him!

This seems pretty likely to me, but boy, is it disappointing, especially if you're a TS4 fan. The expansions of TS4 have mostly been unmemorable and the lowest tier of quality since the series began, IMO. In fact, a Wired.com article suggested only 2 of 10 expansion are essential, both being expansion pack concepts introduced nearly decade+ ago. The Sims 4 lacked innovation and often fell flat while attempting to do so at nearly every turn, and if it ends up doing what you're suggesting, it's going to exit just as weak as it came.

This was my first thought exactly.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionSo, my new guess is around 2025 to 2028.
That said, I suspect that their plans have changed a bit in light of last year. And regardless of if the "20 more pack" was a concrete number or even legit, I think they have probably altered their plans a bit.

It was 20 "content drops" until the 20th anniversary of The Sims franchise.
