I'll only have hope for Sims 4 being properly fixed on the day we see restaurants working smoothly without mods or workarounds. Maybe they'll fix it in time for the 10th anniversary?
I don't know... part of my enjoyment of Sims is that excitement for the next pack... I don't mind starting over because it means there will always be something new and shiny to experience every couple of months... which is why I kind of like the packs.
Call me a sap *shrug*
*Edit* I thought this over a bit more, I will say having the expansions, packs, whatever actually WORK when they release... would be a huge incitement to buy Sims 5 ... As it is now where they release then aren't actually fixed for a few months afterwards... yeah I agree with ya'll... fix 4 I'll hold off on 5 as well... wow, I've never been a fickle person but I guess this post changed my mind.
Do you mean fix the bugs? If so then yeah please do fix that. The game itself is in a good place, I'm enjoying it anyway. Packs can be a little lacking at times but I am enjoying The Sims 4. Keeps me occupied each day.
It has taken me years to build a world in Sims 4, creating characters, building lore and houses. To invest that much energy into a new game it will have to be spectacular
I think the Sims 4 is just beyond fixing now cuz of how broken it is. The more things they add, the more broken it gets. Getting a Sims 5 is more probable than getting a fixed Sims 4. I'm just being realistic here. Unless, fixing means a total overhaul of the game engine, then I think it's not possible.
Fix what? Everybody seems to have a different idea of whats wrong with the Sims 4 and other people are fine with it lol.
So far the only thing I noticed thats truly broken (bug wise) is the dine out gamepack.
Well, we are currently dealing with the aging up bug and the "dating" relatives bugs. There's lots of us right now who can't open our games at all, for fear of years worth of gameplay being ruined. So, yeah. There's some stuff that needs fixing.
I think folks are tired of downloading mods to patch up things that shouldn't have been broken to begin with.
If a Sims 5 means multiplayer online then don't bother even making it, just call it quits at 4 and say thanks for the memories. Massive multiplayer online gaming is the worst kind of gaming imaginable. I've been there, done that, and it brings out the worst in people. The Sims is at its best as a single player offline sandbox. If they make it both that's fine, but playing it entirely online is not the Sims.
Fix Sims 4. After buying quite a few expansions for Sims 3 and 4 I can safely say that I wouldn't do that again if Sims 5 released. Please go back and do a few refreshes of Sims 4 packs, balance out the previous dlc so it all represents value for money and more importantly functions properly. Yes I know, it probably won't ever happen.
I'm totally in agreement with others that are saying that The Sims 4 needs to have its bugs fixed. Not only that, it would be really nice if the developers could do more pack refreshes like was done with the Spa Day pack, which added a lot of needed value and features. The vast majority of Sims 4 packs have been greatly overpriced for the amount of content they contain, so I'm going to agree with others who have said that TS4 has been handled extremely poorly over the years. The Sims 5 would have to be something extremely spectacular for me to even consider purchasing it, which seems very unlikely given EA's current direction with the series.

I still wish Batuu was actually a war zone for aliens. When you say Star Wars, it usually means, get ready to become a Sith/Jedi and fight like crazy.
Fix 4. I'm not planning to get Sims 5 and would rather the game I already spent a lot of money on be fixed. I'm not sure if they will, but one can hope I guess.
I don't think I'll be buying something new. I didn't play for so long, recently when I logged back in to play some Sims I forgot how to do a heap of things. And of course some of the layout had changed lol.
@Gamer_34567544 I hope that is true about a patch next week! I really want to play my game but haven't because of all the bugs. I chose fix 4 because I enjoy Sims 4 and want to continue to play as long as possible. I miss my sims and the gameplay and want to get back to my stories. I doubt I will be interested in Sims 5, and after the recent issues with Sims 4, I don't want to put any more money into a new Sims series. I think the focus for Sims 5 is going to be on gameplay for the younger generations, so probably won't be for me. I hope to continue to enjoy Sims4, if bugs get fixed, and still enjoy my Sims 2, 3 and Medieval as well. That will be enough to keep me busy without needing to buy a new one.

It happened already... I wish they would just fix the game.
@Gamer_34567544 Ugh! So that means the patch didn't really fix much. I am still reading from the forum that people are still having alot of issues with the game. Guess I will be waiting a long time before playing again. Unless I get brave enough to try a new save.
Moving on to a new game and leaving behind the Sims 4 is the easy way out. If they can't fix the Sims 4, I have doubts that the Sims 5 will be any different. I mean, the same people working on 4 will most likely be the same on 5 and if they can't handle the current game, how will they handle a new one?

I might as well stay with this current mess. Unless they release Sims 5: Forgotten Realms, with no modern stuff, all medieval and fantasy.
We want: Faeries, with a good ability tree, hopefully before summer 2024.
What do we want to get rid of: The holiday bug, the constant showering and the weed glitch.

Yes, fix the bugs is what I mean.
Race Against the Clock: Can your elder sim turn back the clock before their time runs out?

I would love to see more compatibility so you could take at least furniture and clothes from TS4 to TS5.
Even the ability saving patterns or colours would be good.
I’ve moved house twice, I still have a table, lamp and bookcase from 1999.
It wouldn’t feel you were starting from scratch every time.
It happened already...
This exactly!
