    We never say that sims 4 was. Going to disappear.We said it's unlikely they will continued after Renee

    They have stated many times this game will continue to be worked on alongside Rene, for a direct example the way they continue Freeplay and Sims Mobile at the same time with different teams, they will keep milking this game, what is there not to understand? I don't owe Simmers any explanations for my information, but everyone always seemed to ignore the fact that I knew this game would last way longer than the previous games. People keep doubting their promises that's sad but EA hasn't lied so far about stuff they hinted at recently, it feels like Maxis/The Sims learned their lesson not to hype up for something that is not ready for release, for example the horses were teased earlier this year, and boom now we have the trailer and leaked CAS and BB objects list for it, and they also hinted at the potential return of stuff packs, then they replied with the car and fairy emojis. You will see…they have way too many requests to be filled in 1-2 years, why do players think they need to do everything with the same pattern previous Sims games had…times have changed. I have no problem with them continuing this game with new packs and updates, but seems like many players here have this obsessed hate agenda against TS4 and that's very sad. Please stop telling people to be more pessimistic with this game thanks. I am way more optimistic than I have ever been with this game thanks to years of content updates and the way they kept their promise to commit to this game for a long time. Also did you all ignore them announcing future Gallery updates too? Yea no way this game is getting axed, it's a huge money maker and it will continue to be so most likely. :)

    When I watched the summit, it seemed to suggest that they meant Sims 4 will continue to get content as Project Rene is being worked on

    As in, there will be a Sims 4 team continuing during development of Sims Rene. Just as Sims 3 still had new DLC while Sims 4 was being worked on.

    Sims 4 and Sims Rene both continuing in perpetuity once Sims Rene is released would be unprecedented nor is that directly supported by official comments at this time.

    And with Sims 5 going mobile, that may well be the end of Sims Mobile and Freeplay, both or just one. Hard to say, since I haven't been watching those teams as closely.

    I have no idea how long they will be making content for the sims 4. And I’m sure there are several factors to consider whether they keep making content beyond when Sims 5 is released. One factor is that as we get more packs we also get more bugs, and many have not been able to be fixed. I’m still having problems with dine out and gardening. Another factor is the performance on computers, if performance from too many packs on a computer starts causing many people problems and people stop buying packs because of that, then I doubt they would keep making packs. As far as I know, they haven’t set a date for the release of sims 5 or a date for the end of sims 4. The two may overlap for awhile, or they may not. .I figure 5 probably won’t come out till at least the end of 2025 the way success of these last packs is going. I can see them coming out with quite a few more packs if performance is not an issue, and people keep buying them. But, of course you never know, because they will be having competition with life by you and paralives, so they may try to bring out sims 5 sooner. These are some future packs I can see them making still for sims 4

    Cars
    Bands
    Fairies
    Hotels and Casino’s
    Medieval
    Into the future

    Possibly:
    Hobbies
    Zombies
    Amusement parks
    Zoo’s
    Water parks
    Super Heroes
    Malls
    Another generational type pack as they go over so well.
    Maybe another world with beach lots, surfing, …..houseboats, etc.
    The addition of more life stages such as preteen, …….younger elder, and/or a stage between toddler and child.

    Maybe some things similar to strangerville like
    Castaways

    Probably lots of kits hopefully more stuff packs. And hopefully refresher on Get To Work, Dine Out, Outdoor retreat, and Jungle adventures ( the last two making them open to residential, or at least visiting without having to pay for a vacation rental ).

    I am sure while EA has been aware of Life By You and Paralives for a few years now, that doesn't mean they are scared of them. Just check the Life by You character designs like omg! So far looking atrocious…Sims is so much better…but hopefully everyone (LBY, Paralives & Sims) can complement each other and the ”competition” can inspire Maxis to do better with future plans with this franchise. The fact that I may seem very upset is because I can't believe how many times people on this forum have been so ”surprised” whenever content like toddlers, infants, horses etc have been confirmed or announced. It's not that impossible to believe they would announce these things as Sims 4 is a computer base game made for paid DLC, it's not a miracle from the sky or something, and yes while I may have disagreed with some here in this thread, they do have good points and concerns about this game's performance issues the more they keep adding new content to the game…I am going to stay cautiously optimistic for Sims 5 but still, they really need to play their cards right this time and not make the same mistakes they did with 4 before launch, the cross platform thing is already making me and some concerned, but we will see…

    I don't think anyone here is saying that we won't be getting more Sims 4 content because we absolutely will. We probably have 4 or more expansion packs left along with tons of more content! The point is that time is ticking and TS4 isn't gonna last forever with Rene in development.

    Cars w/ mechanic career and hobby

    More careers…. I really need more and I love the option to go into a work place, work at home, or get unpaid time off, all in the same career or job. I also like the side jobs, freelance, doing paid favors for other sims, etc. I would also like to see our sims be able take off unlimited time off to raise children and such without penalties.

    Possibly:
    Hobbies
    Zombies
    Amusement parks
    Zoo’s
    Water parks
    Super Heroes

    I agree, hopefully a little bit of competition will make each of the simulations work harder to please their customers. And you are right some of the simulations don’t look great, at least not right now, but it also depends on how much content there is at the beginning of each of them too, some are supposedly going to start with cars, pets, swimming etc. the price, and the amount and quality of free future updates will matter too, as well as whether we are going to have to pay a monthly fee to use them, rather than out right buy them. I can see a bit of cross function between mobile, pc and gaming systems. I used to love viewing the gallery on my phone, and download the lots to my library. If the cross function is pretty good I might even get myself a new I pad. I already plan on buying a new gaming laptop for the sims 5, but I may not get the sims 5 till I see what’ it’s like on the let’s play’s, I bought my last one in 2018, and of course they’ve added so much to them since then. I’m not shocked myself that they have come out with infants, toddlers, horses, and updates to personalities etc. I’m quite pleased with most of the updates, and packs, and I still see many other things I want as well, such as cars, hotels, casino’s, Medieval pack with world, , malls, and fun things for our sims to do to have fun and/or to make money, like hobbies and amusement parks, concerts, zoo’s etc. so far I have all the packs ( I don’t use mods or CC ), and I certainly want to have many more as long as performance is not an issue.

    I don't care, people can act delusional and deny every proof of truth keep ignoring SimGuru comments and everything its not my job here to make sure everyone knows what they plan to do with the game. Thank me later in case I was correct with this information.

    We're ignoring the comments your are interpreting the comments in a specific way.We are not denying they are more sims 4.Were saying it's a possibility .When Renee released they won't continued four.
