    in The Sims 4 Ideas Corner
    Like my headline already ask, i want more information about the plans for the Sims 4. The current state how the Sims 4 is going i can't see any real improvements.
    Ghost, Pools, Careers and new clothing are really nice thanks for that. But this aren't just enough, can't you tell us what you are planning in your vision for the Sims 4 ?
    I can't see that toddler will come back because you guys already started with adding more content into the Game. I am not a programmer but i need to ask isn't that much more work to add more worlds and content and than adding the Toddler into the Game ?
    But this is not the only reason why i lose heart into your Sims 4 Vision, i thought i would see all this thru but i can't, this time around i really can't see fun in the Sims 4 and with the current content we have to play with.
    I love to play the Sims because its the only Life Simulation that i know, but right now the Sims 4 isn't for me a Life Simulation anymore. I never had really problems before the Sims 4 with your Sims because you improved at least for me the intention for being a Life Simulation.
    I am not asking to cut more but improve the Game and also tell us what you are really planning to do with the Sims 4.
    So please more transparency for the future. Do not just say can't tell about that, if you really care about your fans just share us more information.

      Maxis would love to share information, but EA forbids it.

      Their vision is blurry, and I too would like to know the direction their heading towards and what future things they plan: ex. toddlers.

      The silence is killer and all they basically say is "No Comment". I think they don't care about their fans anymore :(

      EA likes Bioware better if I am not mistaken.

      The thing is, all the free content so far have been mostl additions whilde toddlers would be more of a change as well as addition which is harder to do.

      EAxis will not permit giving information out, but if you make a donation they may smile next time they say no. *just joking*

      As SimGuruGrant said in a tweet, they don't say nothing because they don't know nothing. Tsk, worst than Jon Snow. :D
      Nothing to see. I don't even care about the forums.

      I know the gurus we know of don't represent everyone who works on this game but the fact that only 3 of them are mentioned to be working on gamepacks seems too few. If they hired more people we'd have a better game now and we wouldn't be compromising on features because the staff can't handle the workload. This has already been proven by comments like 'we left our x to consentrate on y'. If they hired more devs then both x & y could have been possible. EA are probably too mean to hire more devs, I imagine they have the bare minimum they possibly could. A team just big enough to create a game with huge compromises.

      I really doubt that, the Sims is the best selling Gaming Franchise and Maxis and EA are pratically partners. So the question is why are they not intending sharing informations ?

      Their silence is saying, "I don't know"

      Because Bioware failed once hard with Dragon Age 2. And they learned their leason from this Game before.
      Maxis didn't really failed in the past and thats why they still aren't ready to see their fail.

      Well they didn't failed financially i guess.
      Sim City 5 had enough sales to make a profit, also they added many DLCs and other things which brought money into it. And i believe enough people still paid for it. But they have learned online only is a no go for the Simmers :p
      TSM isn't a Main Game and stood stable financially, but i only can guess all this.
      But yes i don't really know why they are refusing to share information.
