What does this mean for us?
Cutting TS4 budget even more and making the team smaller means, even less quality and quantity. And for how long?
Is this the end of TS as a PC game? Or do you think is because some budget is being put towards the development of TS5? Personally I doubt, as I have been fearing for a long time I think EA wants from now on the Sims to be just a mobile game.
Maybe this opens the door for other companies to start developing a Sims like game?
What do you all think? I just woke up to this news and haven't thought about it for long. But it seems very straight forward what's happening.
My First Pet Stuff was only the beginning of the closing down process I fear.

Sadly i dont think we will get any kind of response to this any time soon. due to the upcoming "exciting news" mentioned in the past month when we didnt get a new quarterly teaser trailer. hopefully exciting news means they are building a new sims 4 team that will vastly improve the sims 4 beyond its current capabilities, or it's time to put this disappoinment of a game to rest and move onto the sims 5 (New and improved back to what worked edition).
There is a ''former SimGuru'' spilling a lot of beans.
However we cannot verify if it's a REAL guru, but the comments he made are really worrying.
According to him they haven't even started with The Sims 5 since the creative leadership is gone.
Look at the Sims reddit and for 'fashionPolice2001' comments... Again; we don't know if it IS a real guru, but it sounds legit to me. It's not the first time guru's hop on forums to talk about it anonymous.
This thread is going to be closed, no doubt.
"I get the impression that they want to milk what they have for as long as they can and then kill it off. It doesn’t fit the overall company strategy neatly and they don’t want to deal with the complication."
This statement says it all...

I'm afraid it will, but I'd like to father as much info as possible before they do
Thanks for the Reddit tip!

I also screenshotted all the comments made by the person, so may the stuff ever get mysteriously ''lost'', I got it covered.
The Sims 4 will not last for ever of course so maybe things are changing?
Need For Speed was made by EA Black Box, today it's made by Ghost Games.
The Sims will continue to be developed by other studios. Patrick Söderlund want the studios be flexible.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionThe account is most likely real. Their only previous comment on Reddit is that one of the offices in the Science Lab is decorated as a homage to X-Files. This is kind of trivia only people who have worked on the game would know.
And I’m not surprised in the slightest if no work has started on TS5. Things are changing fast, in the entire video game industry really. The people who think EA would still follow the old “new game every 5 years” have no clue what’s going on.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionMobile is not the way forward.
No way will I ever play some silly mobile game.
You guys are infuriating I have been waiting patiently as TS4 just feels so meh!. I can't play it without seeing something that is so lack lustre.
This EXCITING news better not be. You can play ts4 on ur phones now woo.... I hope you get boo'ed.

R.I.P franchise
I've since then fell back on The Sims 2 and occasionally 3 because of this content drought.
Like my girlfriend said, I'd rather see this franchise go out with a fight versus them outright axing the franchise itself so abruptly.
