Yesss! And for Sims to be individual as even with different traits Sims still act the same way. I want each Sim to feel entirely unique and different from another Sim.
I want “open world” but I don’t want a full open world. I think it should be open neighborhood. For example, I should be able to go to a neighbors house without a loading screen.
This. 100%. I do love The Sims 3 and I understand why they took two steps back and brought these loading screens because of how laggy and empty The Sims 3 was. But they could've easily met in the middle with this by making neighborhoods you're in all open world and loading screens only when you're switching to a different town. This would easily bring cars and other vehicles back.
I've been wanting this since sims 3.5 to 10 lot neighborhood would be perfect.I also would like to see the sims jumping on a car/bus or walk down a metro station before seeing the loading screen.
I'm just worried that "online" means tons of micro transactions in game and getting nickel and dimes for clothes and hair pieces and the disallowing of CC and mods, basicaly what happened between Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, I Dont trust EA not to make it a cash grab.
yup, that's what i think it will be. it will be a way to get rid of mods and instead sell content in a 'store' like an online mmo where you have to buy each individual piece of extra content you want. i love the sims and bioware but i can never trust EA. though i will say if it's a separate thing like sims online updated and sims 5 is just their own thing i wouldn't complain. it;'s just the fact that they could potentially merge them is big yikes.
@@nightfrost1891 They already had store connection in Sims 3, but you could opt out of that and you didn't have to buy stuff for your game. Mods were still possible, too.
I want an open world. I want to see the world as living, alive with sims and pets running around. I want to see my neighbors walk into their house, have a BBQs, parties etc.
I really hope for some sims 2 esque depth. Where the townies had relationships outside of their households, bios, interests, and memories. It added so much, like also the old chemistry system where they sometimes just wont find eachother attractive and match. Also little things like getting your kid into private school cause it makes the game just a little harder. More challenging, make it harder to accrue wealth and also just more fun but random things
Adri Void yessss exactly, I want more challenge in the game! Everyone gets along unless you purposely have them say rude things to each other. And romantically, they almost always find each other attractive. It’s just so easy and it gets boring after a while. It’d be nice like you said to have a chemistry system
Yes, it be nice for sims to have turn-offs and turn-ons. again, like Like like blonde hair and makeup. but maybe they aren't into skinny sims. or maybe like like hulked out, red-heads but it breaks the deal if they wear cologne/perfume. How about they actually make sexuality a thing in the base game like actually having Gay, Bi and such sims instead of blank slate default bi-sexual sims. Also, have it so you can make custom hairstyles. like you can custom size the style rather than just picking one by clicking on it. Pets in Base game University and seasons in the base game COLOR WHEEL!
I think the sims 4 is WAY more expensive than the previous sims games, and that IS a downside to the sims 5 coming. And while I love all of the game changers I watch, I do think (even if you paid for sims packs in the past) you guys have a skewed view of how much people spend on the game. And with such a wide reaching online community, the expectation is you have to have all of the packs if you want to get involved in building for the gallery/simblr/sims Twitter etc. I know EA does have to make money and packs have a lot of work in them, but some of the stuff we've paid for in the sims 4 has been kinda thin in content for the money you pay for it, and I think gamechangers aren't gonna have the same view of that
Technically Sims 3 was the most expensive if you count all the store content. But I still rather play the sims 3 with all its bugs than the sims 4, it's just bland and lifeless af.
@@francisdolarhydeisafurry1532 I think it's easy to factor out the store content from the sims 3 because it wasn't seen as *necessary* like packs were (from an online community perspective) . Furthermore we had an easier time with custom content textures matching in game textures and create a style meaning customisation of existing objects and cas items was easier too (so in general we sought less new content in the store). With that factored in, the sims 4 is much more expensive to your average player (as opposed to gamechangers) who wants to get involved with the community
I was looking for this comment! Especially with the gallery, you feel like you need the packs because otherwise everything seems incomplete - and YES, thank you for saying that we pay the same amount of money for less content (stuff packs, I‘m looking at you)!
@@janedhoe5872 yeah tbh I know we need to be realistic about the restrictions higher ups put on the developers/sim gurus but the sims 4 has felt thin and I have spent loads of money on it for it to still feel incomplete after almost 6 years?
If weather is a effing dlc again I think I will just skip the Sims 5, there are practically no games without weather nowadays. Also if it has optional multiplayer fine, but an online game won't be something I'd get.
Good point. I'm not saying they should make all Seasons expansion features BG, but a basic weather cycle with sun and rain should really not be a DLC. As well as a calendar. There can still be expansions with stuff like snow and skiing or seasonal festivals, but buying an expansion just to see rain in a game world in 2020? That's some nerve.
Karolína H. Exactly what I meant! I think adding weather from the get go would make it easier to add tie in features in future dlcs and actually expand on things in the expansion packs. I'm on the fence about pets being dlc only, but I think my first pet's stuff is an example of why it would be better to have them in some form in base game, maybe as an update, because now it's much harder to add items to them afterwards without people going crazy.
The weather has always been a dlc. The other games didn't feel incomplete at launch just because there wasn't weather. I'd be much more concerned if they shipped the "life simulator" with no toddlers, teens and elders indistinguishable for adults, and practically no careers again.
vanyadolly I don’t agree that it ”didn’t feel incomplete” when weather is added it feels real, I wouldn’t want to play without toddlers either, but weather is a lighting thing that any tripple a game have now, it’s stupid to expect people to pay, and if it was in basegame we could get a whole summer or winter themed expansion with much more in depth hobbies and activities.
An online sims game worries me. EA made more than $2.5 billion in the last finical year on micro transactions alone. It makes up two thirds of their total revenue. If they can get away with putting the Sims online and monetise the crap out of it, they will. They’ve said in the past that single player games are dead and the only way forward is multiplayer, which isn’t true. But always online and multiplayer equals monetisation and that is always EA’s goal. Edit to add: all the DLC, when not on special, totals up to more than $900 USD. That is far, far too much to ask for DLC. It is not in the same price range of other AAA games. It’s greed, pure and simple.
Yeah, I would never trust EA when it comes to milking every penny out of their games. This far luckily Sims has been spared from the worst cash grabs (not counting expensive DLCs), but if there's a way to get more money, EA will always take it with the minimum amount of actual addition for the player.
This argument holds little sway. If you bought it all together at once. Yes its alot. If you take something like WoW or FF14. If you paid to play that game for 7 years (the same length Sims) is out it cost almost 1200 dollars. That's not including any DLC. So spending 900$ over 7 years (that's only IF you buy everything) doesnt sound as ridiculous.
@@lucaleone4331 True, but I also feel that just because other games charge more in a different way shouldn't give right to other franchises to do so. Ideally all games should shy away from this instead of encourage it.
Luca Leone except it is a ridiculous amount of money to ask anyone to spend on any one game. It’s a ridiculous ask to spend $1200 on WoW or FF14 too. Don’t give publishers a pass just because you like their games. They can still have great and wonderful games but be greedy at the same time. Because it is greed. The sheer amount of money that these publishers make is mind boggling and most of it ends up in the pockets of executives and not the developers who actually make the games. Like I said, it is ok to love these games, but that does not excuse bad practices that rip off both consumer and developer.
@@lucaleone4331 But FFXIV base and its DLC content is actually worth it and far more interesting than The Sims 4 right now. The Sims 3 had Store Content as well but everyone was always hyped about new expansion packs because they had so much gameplay and substance.
It also sounds like a kind of crazy concept to create a slightly better base game every 5 years and then release the same themed packs. Like they are basically making the same game, but improving it every 5 years to catch up with technology. I’ve only played TS4, but I can’t imagine just handing over money to ea for the same thing every 5 years.
I don't know how it was on the computer but I know that on the console on Playstation mostly so I played on Growing Up it actually changed a lot more than just technology. The whole storyline changed and then it's Sims 3 you no longer have to go through a storyline and follow certain goals we still had all these other cool things going on while at the same time having the choice how much do in control your Sims behaviors. Then Sims 4 arrived. I don't know what happened with Sims 4 all I know is that from what I've seen and from the little I've been able to play it kind of just erased most of their personality, erased most of the actual like storyline type of play, and it kind of put this weird polish on everything, where it felt like they're very much trying to make it more La feeling than your average Joe. It gave up gameplay for aesthetics and mods and expansion packs. That's just how I felt with the game.
If you ever want to try Sims 3, you can get it very cheaply from Steam during sales (expacs for $5!); they have some packs with base game and a couple of expacs for around $12 during those sales. You can use the code to unlock on your Origin account (although I recommend buying one thing at a time as my first try with that had major difficulty; after that got sorted out it's been fine for everything I've bought since). The Sims 3 has a lot more items and a lot more depth to the game play; sure, it may not be as polished, but it's a great game and probably my favorite installment in the series. Sims 4 can be pretty boring sometimes by comparison. I will say, there's been less stuff in each iteration in some ways; I remember one expac in Sims 1 brought this enormous scuba tank you could put in your house, and Sims 2 having a ballet barre, things like that. But in Sims 3 you teach your toddlers to walk and talk, can teach teens to drive, teens get proms, etc.
But the bad thing is that they technically aren’t just recreating the base game but better. Look at the sims 2. They’ve honestly watered it down depth wise. I think the tech gets more expensive but the budget remains the same so it becomes beautiful but shallow
The only way I see online multiplayer working is a separate online world that sims can visit like a community lot but not live on. I would find it interesting to interact with actual sims controlled by players, since NPC reactions are so predictable. To actually have a sim be randomly mean or do something funny would be a nice change!
But that's the issue you see, Sims weren't that uninteresting and predictable and similar in their reactions in previous sims, It's the big fault of sims 4 they completely broke sims personalities and instead of fixing it by keeping the good of sims 4 and adding back the good of sims 2 and 3 interests, personality traits, likes and dislikes and behaviors plus adding some new interesting elements to make them even better they'll simply hand us a sort of dollhouse and let us be the puppeteers of the sims to make them interesting. Also if there is an online mode the whole game even the offline version would still be a single program meaning that any technical or gameplay restriction they would have to follow during the development to make the online work would apply to the offline too as it's not possible to maintain two separate versions with two different coding but who should have the same functionalities and patches etc. That's a sure way to fail because it's too expensive, time consuming and horrendous to maintain at every update or bug fix. Also what about mods and CC ? To play online everyone has to have the same game so mods and CC cannot be used in online if all the people connected in the same server don't use the exact same content. Imagine the difficulty for people to connect together if they have to compare a list of hundreds or thousands of CC to be sure they can play together ? Meaning no mods or CC online and the only content would be the official one, good way to make you buy items in an online store. And then the best outcome is that mods and CC have to be disabled before going online but there could even be restrictions on what mods and CC could be allowed at all because the game would be restricted in it's code by the online version, technical restrictions if you wish that would prevent mods from working. It's simply a bad idea in my opinion and if they want a sims online they should make a separate game, not sims 5
That is why I was thinking. Before I bought the sims 4 I used to play online and it had a separate world we’re you can play with your friends families. If they could adjust it so not only it’s a separate world but it would allow online players to connect and get together. Kinda like the online NBA 2K where online players can play basketball together but in the sims they can chat and interact.
I agree I also like the idea of the single player aspect but having a community world with no houses and you can't live there. so if you want to you can chat with REAL people in Real time and ask game play questions. share ideas on play and build. but to be able to leave that option and single play. I am just worried about EA and their micro-transations they have been doing.
The “don’t want sims 5 because paid so much for sims 4” is a totally valid point tbh. It’s not an opinion I share, but I completely understand it. It’s not that people don’t want sims 5 to come out ever, just that they don’t want it to come it YET because that means those who can’t afford to jump to the sims 5 are stuck with sims 4 without the team working to improve the game when there’s still so much that could be improved.
I want it to have things like seasons in base game because it makes the games so much more interesting and if it doesnt have toddlers in base game i will get do mad ngl
Weren't they going to do Seasons in the bg for Sims 2? I just remember hearing someone say something about it. But yes, of course it takes time to work on, but that's like the base of any life simulator, pretty much life itself.
They didn’t have toddlers in base game because the game got rushed out the door too fast, you can’t blame the team for that. As always, EA is an asshole company lmao.
I was like 12 when The Sims Online came out and I got it. I hated it. There were no money cheats or jobs, so you had to craft to make money and spend all your time online doing that to be able to do anything. And it was NOT teen friendly to say the least. Lots of sim sex parties and predatory behavior. They'd have a lot of work on their hands to keep it clean if they tried that again.
I liked it dirty though lol. I was still extremely young when Sims first came out. I didn't get to play on a computer version until Sims3 pets. The version I remember was 1,000% more raunchy than anything I've seen watching vids of Sims4, except for Kevin's gaming channel. I miss the old school vibes of it, not the cleaner more L.A type attitudes they have now in the game.
@@Megramia288 I miss how raunchy the GAME was back in the day, too. It was much funnier and on the nose. I may not have been clear, but I meant the other people online. There was no separation of adults and kids on the online game, and people were constantly cybersexxing in the group chat, and grown, old adults being way too creepy and friendly with young tweens, knowing their ages. And that's most of all that it was. It was hard to find something fun to do in the sims online because every room/lot was filled with thirsty old people looking to cyber, lol.
Just ban woohoo from sims multiplayer or make an 18+ "room" /Server. If they REALLY wanted a kid friendly area, they could take a club penguin type approach and have preset greetings. So you'd end up with a kid friendly area, a normal heavily moderated area and a 18+ area, but honestly I thi K banning woohoo and killing would just be the ideal solution
I don't want The Sims 5 yet. I know it'll be a few years until it's released but there is so much lacking in The Sims 4. It's not about having more focus on ts5 because they have completely different teams but I think that most of us just aren't satisfied enough with ts4.
we all have to agree that sims 4 just isn't that good as a whole. even if you have all of the Dlcs(which there are a LOT), this game has no substance at all.
The prices in the gaming world has gone up, yes, but very few big games (if any) have that many DLCs. Sims 4 live of off the DLC prices on top of a quite pricey base game and the base game of Sims 4 is almost useless. Thats the big differece and the way they make alot of their DLCs are incomplete to make people buy more, to get a more complete game.
Zazel Taye DLCs are expansion/game/stuff packs, I think it stands for downloaded content; in the wider gaming community it refers to every optional addition to a game (paid for or free in some cases), meaning micro transactions like buying currency in-game with real money aren’t included as they don’t expand on the original content, but the free holidays pack in TS4 is a DLC because even though you don’t pay for it, it expands upon the gameplay in a small way.
I agree. If you play Sims 4 now with just the base game and ONE expansion pack, it's still very lacking in depth, making it difficult for the gamer to buy more if you're a fan of the franchise or just not play much at all because you're not that into it and see all the missing pieces.
Having a cloud system in base game is actually a really good idea. the constant sunny days can get tedious when you have to wait a few years for seasons to be released.
I feel like a lot of people jumped to IMVU-type assumptions; chatting with random people, people in my world.... I imagined Multiplayer to be a more offline experience, where myself and a friend can sit down and play together and that friend can interact with my save when I approve. I owned EVERYTHING for TS Original and TS2. (My graphics card couldn’t handle TS3 after about a year.) I could care less about the money I’ve spent. I just want the best versions of TS1-4 to be mixed together...and that should make the best thing.
Thank you, thank you so much for trying to clarify the multiplayer concept! I agree and would love to play with my sisters and friends. Idk why they would allow you to join a like chat room with like 30 people and run loose. People should look up Simsync and sims multiplayer mod which are mods already made for sims 4 multiplayer the right way!
I wouldn't mind seasons still being an expansion, but I'd like to atleast have rain in the base game, then add a bunch of weather types in a pack (hurricane, thunderstorm, hail, snow, blizzards, etc)
What I hope for TS4 (and if not TS5): Improved babies More things for elders more relationship options in CAS Pre-teen More animals A firefighter career A meterologist career Vehicles More activities for children ..... what things do you guys want to see that I didn't list?
Ngl though, I’ve spent probably $300 on packs in the last 6 months. It would kind of suck if the sims 5 came out very soon and I had to start all over.
Honestly, I wish they’d just stop releasing new sims games. Finish the Sims 4 first. It’s still missing so much. Like actually fix the game you’ve already released instead of basically scrapping it and starting fresh again
Im getting kinda bored of sims 4 after playing it for 5 years, and i really want sims 5 to be more like sims 3. An open world and cars. Im really exited what ea has to bring:))
correct me if i'm wrong but i believe in sims 3 there was a "multi-player" feature where you could send gifts to your friends that you added online. I personally think that was a nice feature and would like to see it again in future sims games. It would be a way to add a multi-player feature that you can enjoy with friends without disrupting a player's individual single-player experience. But that's just my opinion c:
IDK about the computer version on that but I know on Sims 2 I think Bustin Out I'm not sure don't quote me there was a virgin on the PlayStation where you could go to multiplayer and you and your friend could sit together and they could play your non storyline character and your storyline character can meet or something like that but you had to go to a different Sim house and Sim neighborhood to do that
I've played another online game for about 10 years. I have run into the issue with inappropriate behavior directed towards me. What that game did was to put in a /ignore command (in the case of The Sims, it could be a 'maintenance' option on the social wheel). Later on, they added an "ignore and report" option. This one went to the moderators. The player decides which to use. I've seen discussions about mods. Mods were used massively on that online game. If they affected other players, only players that also had the mod were affected. So, for example, if an extreme violence mod was being used by some players, I would not even see those interactions if I did not have the mod. Nor would my Sims be able to participate in those activities. Another topic is in-game security. I wouldn't want anyone to come on my property if I did not give permission. Right now, Sims knock on the door, but I think the player would have to be on my 'friends' list before they could just walk up to my door or interact with anything on my lot. Imagine logging back in after work and finding your house burned down and all your sims are now vampires that have joined another household! I have played another game that was a castle raiding type game. In that, your real-life friends could join your military instead of creating their own castle. Then someone with a more powerful military comes along when you are not even logged in, devastates your military and takes prisoners. Now your friends are characters in the conquerors military. So, basically, there need to be boundaries and personal permission. Just my 2 cents (or pence). :) Edited: Just want to add something I forgot to mention, I think the best-case scenario would be to make it optional. In other words, I can create a lot and household in the online version, but I can keep my offline saves. We can 'connect' like we do with the gallery.
what i want for ts5 is that the devs play the past games, find their strengths and see what is it that has brought us to this franchise in the first place. i always get the feeling that they don't even know their own game (and probably some of them really dont).
I am not exactly the core demographic for the Sims. aka: I'm old. For me, the sims 4 was dumbed down for younger players, and it was a disappointment. Even the cartoon look of it took a long time for me to get used to. So online play is not really something I am looking for, although I do enjoy aspects of the sims community. I want the sims 5 to make me forget about all the expansion packs I own for previous versions, the way the Sims 2 and Sims 3 did when they came out. I want a richness for all age levels, including seniors. I need more aspirations and trait slots. Emotions are fine, but I don't think they make up for the depth of personality that you had with previous sim versions. My sims always have a secret favorite color, I miss that, as silly as it is.
First I played TS4, then I tried TS3 and thought it was more fun. So I tried TS2. And today I played TS1. Based on the direction things are going I rather have The Sims 0.5 than The Sims 5.
I remember everyone being upset when the Sims 4 came out too. It was "too cartoony" and everyone had already spent so much on Sims 3. People just hate change, but I'm sure once the game takes off (still in the far future) it'll get a better response
last I remembered everyone was hyped to hell and back for Sims 4 only when people realized how much things they scrapped and how much lower quality it was people started to hate it.
@@Emil-lf3no exactly what I was about to tell, the Sims 4 base game is just empty, and the original Sims 4 was very buggy and even shallower than it is now. And yes, I still dislike the Sims 4 even nowadays lmao
Here's my unpopular opinion: so everyone is going on about The Sims 5 like it's actually been confirmed. But the quotes I've seen were extremely vague, something along the lines that 'an upcoming Sims experience might have online elements'. For all we know an 'upcoming Sims experience might be another mobile game. But if the Sims 5 is coming out I'm going to let it mature a few years before I get it anyway. The past couple of Sims games have taken a few years to have all the features (expansions) I've wanted.
If it doesn't have open world in a way we can control all of our sims at once like Sims 3, they can burn Sims 5. And yeah I mean worlds as big as Sims 3 had, cars where you travel around the world and such with this.
I agree with this so much. This is 2020 and computers are advancing many games are open world such as red dead redemption 2, GTA, etc. I want Sims 5 to be advanced and a stem up from Sims 4
@dr103 yeah but they can make it optimized open world. Sims 3 was just badly coded. If you have a low end pc then try to run the game on medium settings but I understand what you're saying
I would rather see a game were the producers are making it, then seeing a game were the players decide everything. It’s so annoying seeing everyone complaining on what should be in the game and so on. I like that the players can give feedback on the game, but it’s not funny playing a game where you know what’s gonna happen next, like university. I loved when the dropped the news for get famous and tiny living, because it was so unexpected and fun to get a surprise, then knowing that university was gonna come
The only wish i have for sims 5 is that it includes a semi-open world with 4-5 preloaded lots! And also it would be nice if we could get the smal videos from sims 2 when sims got married or proposed to back. I might be the only one who wants them back but i realy loved them
It's so annoying tho because the team want to try something new but then loads of people complain that they want stuff from a previous game. They can not win
There's gonna be the Sims 5, it's just a matter of time. It would be completely crazy not to continue such a profitable franchise. I do hope it's still a few years away and that they do put more effort into the base game than in 4. I would love if the support for sims 4 also continued but that might be wishful thinking.
I think at least rain should be in the base game, the rest of the weather can be an expansion, because rain can come no matter what season it is, rather than it always being sunny.
i really, really, really, REALLY don’t want sims 5 to come out soon. there’s been a flood of dlc’s in the sims 4, i think it’s unfair and corrupt to have everyone by upgrades to one game then come out with a brand new “better” one.
I think I will really like the multiplayer feature if it works the way StarDew Valley multiplayer does.. I don’t wanna play with strangers but I’d love to play with my friends!! Also, Molly! You are so much for quality over quantity..I love you for that ❤️❤️
Finally I found one person who wants multiplayer. All the comments I read say no they don't want it. I think playing with my cousin on the same lot would be fun.
ddganics yea, lilsimsie said it should be like stardew valley where you can make a world and up to 4 friends and we can play but you can make seperate single players worlds. I like that idea
I think we should have puberty stage in sims like teen acne. I loved it in the sims 2. Also kids being able to do paper rounds and pets having jobs again
6:56 It's also good to note that the sims 4 community will definitely still be thriving once the sims 5 is out. There's plenty of people who play past sims games still. The packs won't disappear from the game once the sims 5 is out. I do admit having all packs for the sims 4 is a lot of money though.
I used to LOVE the sims online! And the fact that they're saying they want to make multiplayer optional is great because I do like single-player gameplay, as well.
6:50 I think the problem with the packs is not that it's expensive(and there's lots), but more to do with the amount of quality stuff you get, compared to previous game packs. For a stuff pack you'd get maybe 10 new items and like 10 things that either was in other stuff packs, therefore unneeded or recolours of other items, but the recolours dint match anything else..
One issue that might arise from not owning all DLCs now compared to before is the community aspect. I never played the Sims 3 so I don't know if there was a content sharing system, but in 1 and 2 it didn't bother me if I didn't have all DLCs, because I played by myself and didn't know what I missed out on! In 4 it's already rough to download builds from the Gallery if you don't have all packs, builds get weird or missing items etc. So if TS5 is even more communal, it might be even more pressuring especially for younger players to "need" to own all DLCs. This is a really good video, very thought provoking and I like the discussions in the comments!😊 (hence the spamming of my opinons😅)
I think that if they did do a planet zoo based competition system would be a cool online experience. Or maybe a stardew valley like system where you could share a neighbourhood with some friends and play and build together could be good. But micro-transactions are just a big no no. I do not mind extra packs or paying for them all again I just fear something like the Sims 3 store .
What I'm worried about is Sims 5 possibly becoming subscription based so everyone has the same thing, if it does go down the multiplayer route that'll be the most likely scenario, which I'm just not here for, I binge play for a month and then don't touch it for 4.. maybe they could have a separate world that could be multiplayer and you can choose to visit or live there if you want
There are games which definitely profit from online multiplayer. A lot of different games types do, honestly. But for me, Sims 5 as an online open world looks more like 'we're not going to give the NPC sims any more depth, we're just going to relate on other players making the world more lived-in.' I honestly didn't need the online element in Sims 3 and I certainly won't need it in Sims 5. Simulate all lives, including those of the townies, that should be plenty for Sims 5.
Being negative to the game gives the developer incentive to make it better, if you ignore the flaws they will keep giving us crap. But ive got no problem people like what they like, but giving negative criticism is what we need to to get better games.
I agree, which is why I said the community needs to do it respectfully and also with a level head. I've seen a lot of people tearing other fans and the team down whenever something they don't like is included or they feel something is missing. Being insulting doesn't get you anywhere. I've constantly given constructive feedback as a game changer and I'll continue to do so as long as I play the sims
@@EnglishSimmer thanks for replying and im thankfull that your doing that in your position as a game changer. I'm not active on the forums or within the sims community so i had no idea people were receiving hate for posting there positive experiences with the game, imo both good and bad feedback should be encouraged.
And on the whole dlc point i think EA could be alot more generous with the pricing, i have a few friends that want to get into sims but the dlc prices make them reconsider.
@@MAGICCOFFEY Unfortunately, EA and generous don't really go together when history is considered... But I do agree, adding all DLCs actually makes the Sims the most expensive mainstream game in the world.
And just to add, esp a game where the base game is honestly quite unplayable without any DLCs makes me quite sad. I wouldn't mind high prices to pay for extra content, but now it is actuslly quite necessary to purchase DLCs just to be able to play a coherent, functional game.
I know this would likely never happen because it hasn't in years but I MISS how in the Console Games like Sims 1/2, Bustin' Out and Urbz had a storyline with missions and goals. I get that was a console thing however it totally got me into Sims! I've since played the rest on my laptop but I feel the missions could really give you something to do in the game if you choose to follow it
Every time a new version of the Sims comes out it will always feel lacking in comparison to the previous fully fleshed out with multiple expansions version. If/when Sims 5 comes out I'll probably wait for a few expansions to come out before jumping over to it.
I played Sims 4 today for over 7 hours..trying to kill my sim.. My Sims house with his wife and 3 kids is in Sulani. He started a fire while washing/drying clothes.. I deliberately took the fire/smoke alarm detector out of the house because I didn't want sims to automatically try to extinguishe the fire. But they all came running with extinguishers anyway. I actually kept making my sim walk into the fire & atleast 6 times he stood in the middle of the fire during which he should have and would normally be burnt to death... Not a chance. He only had slight burnt tinge to his clothes. This is obviously a glitch which needs to be addressed but it's another reason why I am getting frustrated with this game.. People are talking about sims 5 but wouldn't it be a better idea to get Sims 4 working properly before trying to jump into the next Game?? I for 1 feel like I'm wasting my time on a game that needs fixing..but everyone now just seems to want to jump onto the next supposition...Sims 5 Maybe Sims 5 will have sims that actually are not indestructible and die in a fire or get electrocuted by machines or get abducted without the chance of things happening being decreased. It's all well to say stop the negativitu about sims 5 but if we don't voice our concerns and problems even if they are negative, then it won't ever be corrected in the future & we will carry on getting the same of what we are getting now in years to come 🤔
Actually probably not a glitch. Sulani by default has v helpful neighbourhood Sims because it's a friendly island where everyone knows everyone. So it's probably the worst place to choose to live of you actually want to kill a sim off as everyone will just constantly save you 😂
@@EnglishSimmer... Thanks for your reply Molly, I just have a hard time accepting a Sim can stand in a raging fire without burning... I'm trying so hard to kill him in my Black widow Challenge. I wonder if there's also influence of mods (slice of life/ Explore/Etxtreme violence/Wwhims etc) which might be influencing this? It would be so good if these elements can work together in the next game. 🙂
I would like multiplayer if it was more like Co-Op where friends can come to my house and play along. It would make storytelling more immersive if my friend comes over and decides to create my sims nemesis. I’ve played all versions of the Sims except the online and free play. As a kid playing 1 and 2 one of the more annoying parts was having to trade places with my siblings during our gaming time.
There will never be a better sims game than sims 3. Sims 4 is fun.. but i always go back to 3 because it rocks compared. They do a multiple gamer sims version? they're just going to kill it. Completely.
Ok but can we at least get rain? Idk about anything else just... I don’t want to live through the eternal summer stage again. The sims 4 had traumatised me enough with that😰
How can being online make it an unwelcoming environment for women? If the core audience of the game is female, then the online majority would also be women. It would make it probably the only online game were most of the players are women. BTW, I don't like the idea of it being online, I play the sims so I don't have to interact with other people lol.
Thay comment also confused me too. I think that women shouldn't be afraid of change because of harassment (which is still literally everywhere in life). We should just keep fighting for true equality in everyform as well as video games so we don't need to fear change.
Tbh, I haven't thought much about Sims 5 since we only know so little so far and also, I only got into Sims 4 fairly recently. The most controversial point seems to be the online modus. I think it depends on how exactly it'd look like. I doubt it's gonna be like "oh, I wanna see how my friend's Sims are doing, I'm sending one of mine over to their house and check", but I can't come up with an alternative either, haha. Also, I don't see much of a point in the argument "oh noes, I spent a lot of money on Sims 4 expansions". Like, yeah, you often spend money on a hobby that's important to you at that time. I had all expansion packs of The Sims 2 and kept playing it parallel to Sims 3 - and even preferred it over Sims 3. That leads me to my wishlist for a new installment of the Sims series: I like the artstyle of Sims 4 and hope we're gonna keep the comic look (to me, Sims in Sims 3 always looked... doughy, but with a plastic coat). I am certainly hoping for a game that's not glitchy and buggy as heck AND I want the depth of Sims 2 back. All in all, I'm looking forward to seeing more information about no. 5 being released, but I can also see myself playing The Sims 4 for another while.
OMG, what if there where an element to the sims 5 where you could intergreate(spelling?!) challenges such as princess legacy and so on and if you do the challenge according to the rules and collect all the points you will get something and even if you miss a rule or take some liberty in the game you can collect points or something.
That would either mean only the Sims team can do challenges (because they have to be put into the game) or they would need an import mode for putting your challenges into the game. I somewhat doubt that will be coming.
I feel like making it so child-friendly and then to suggest an online Sims 5 is really dangerous. They'll either have to dump this audience, or make it more like a Club Penguin experience, which could lose a lot of the classic Sims players.
not wanting an open world because the sims 3 lags or was sometimes empty on public lots is like not wanting fps games on consoles because golden eyes controls sucked
No sim's game need's to be open world, whatever engine's EA uses for "open world" for the sim's are clearly broken and unoptimize. There is no reason sim's 3 and 4 should perform worse then read dead 2 on pc 1440p almost full max settings, and assassin's creed odyssesy 1440p maxed. Sim's 3 and 4 have unexplainable lag and stutter, and it's just a joke now. EA also does not care for single player, if at any point they decide to actually put a multiplayer platform into a sim's game, it'll be doomed. Red dead 2 has multiplayer and guess what, because of that SP will never see a beloved DLC no matter how much ppl want it, because it cost's more, and doesn't generate an endless pocket of money for little effort. Multiplayer in sim's 5 would give EA reasons for micro's, because you cannot and will not be allowed/able to mod online. Look at mobile sim's, they are the bottom of sim's gaming for a reason,PC would be no different, it'll turn into fallout 76, or second life/imvu which are only enjoyed by ppl because of friend's, not because they offer anything decent gameplay wise.Multiplayer and single player, what? Let's just watch as EA add's load's of micros to online for clothes, hair etc plus pump out the same or more amount of the endless pit of SP DLC too? Uh no. Why are the sim's allowed to be the one game series that is worth $400+ with 20+ DLC's while beloved game's like the witcher 3 have max 2 incredible DLC's for $20 each. Most triple A title's only ever have 1-3 dlc's. I'd pay $80 for a single wonderful DLC of any other game series but i'm tired of EA and the sim's pit of dlc.
I think that some things that have been DLC expansions should be Base game for 5.If they are trying to really improve the game play experience. When I get 'Sims 5' All lot types, parenting, Seasons, Pets should already be a part of the base game. I feel like DLC and micro transactions are getting out of hand already for games in general. Has DLC made it easier for games to be put on the market incomplete, then charge for an update?...
I've played all the past sims games, and have bought loads of packs for every iteration of the game. (With the exception of the sims 1, which my parents payed for lmao), but I have by far spent the most on the Sims 4. I've spent about $500AUD in total on the sims 4, and honestly at this point I'm just not excited about starting the whole process all over again. Personally the sims 5 base game would have to be really impressive for me to want to buy it, if and when it does eventually come out. I am really interested in what the art style will look like though. Personally I'm a big fan of the cartoonish look of the sims 4. I'm not sure they could upgrade the character models/CAS in a way that wouldn't make it look too far into the uncanny valley.
Don't want online No NO NO NO NO!!!!!! Remember in Sims 3 when you hosted sims for showtime, and bugs and dodgy cc got in peoples games eeeek No just NO!!!
very true, i've been playing sims since the first one and it's always been like this lol. i did spend more money on ts4 than the others but that's because i'm an adult now so i'm the one paying for the games fldkms. i'm here for any sims content, frankly, and i agree with you that ts4 has core issues that maybe can be solved but only if working on the base game.
Going from a child to a teen is always a bit weird. Like one day you’re 10 and the next you’re like 16 lol I think the thing is that teens look to much like young adults. If the teens looked a little less adult it’d make more sense for me.
I think with the social aspect, he could be referring too the idea of implementing a bit of a "social media" type platform in to the gallery, so that you could message other Simmers about their creations, or perhaps, join little groups where you can share stories and builds etc. I think something like this would be a welcome addition.
First this is all speculation and we shouldn't jump to conclusions. Maybe it's a Sims5. Maybe it's a spin off of the Sims franchise. If it were a Sims 5 in development, there would be more than one office working on it as it takes a long time to develop just one game so it's too early to tell. With that said, I wouldn't want it to be another Second Life sort of game where players can have multiplayer function with that as the basis for gameplay, so it would be nice if it were an OPTION function and still escape to our own worlds and continue gameplay however we want. Subscriptions and paying for everything through game is very annoying and turns off a lot of people because it's the same thing as walking into Zara (or other highly price store) where you like a lot of things but become sad because you can't afford it. I wouldn't want an open world because that requires a very good computer; something a lot of people don't have the money for. Without it, the game will lag like crazy. Maybe have a slightly more open world, such as being able to travel between two close lots without a loading screen. Again, there's very little information so there's not much to say other than = let's see where this goes. Hopefully it's a spin-off they are working on. In the meantime, enjoy Sims4 / Sims Mobile / Sims Freeplay, and any other previous game. :)
Unpopular (judging from the amount of fake sims 5 videos on YT) opinion: Sims 5 should not have realistic graphics at all. Sims 4 has the best graphics (though I don’t like the gameplay hence I’m playing Sims 2) and will age so well. I don’t need gazillion polygons on my sims, just make the game fun and we are square, EA.
I think we should get season in base game (and maybe small pets) as I think season system should in the foundation as in the Sims 4 they had restructure expansions and base game to make seasons works. I don’t thinks it would be a waste of resources as we don’t know what resources the Sims has we can only speculate. Everybody has a idea of what the Sims should be like or progress doesn’t mean anybody is wrong it’s just different viewpoints so I agree that people shouldn’t take other people’s opinions to heart, but also doesn’t mean one opinion is better than the other. I also want preteen too especially for the Sims 5 because not only will it be something different but make the game more fleshed I don’t think the problem is if they can do but how long it will take them to really flesh out features like season and preteens. I can wait for the Sims 5 if they fully flesh out these features. As years go by more progress comes some I think the games should follow. 🧐😉🙂✌️
With past games other people were buying me those packs because I was a kid/teen... And also I didn't get every pack because of that. With the Sims 4 I spent my own money on almost everything. I am fine with sticking with 4 if I hate 5 though. I really hope with 5 that there's more focus on solid family game play from the start. In Planet Coaster you can download other people's parks that use DLC you don't have but it won't let you save the game or mess with those items at all. Also the DLC shows up in your game (with options to filter it out) and tells you to buy the pack if you want the item. I really don't like this method tbh... it essentially downloads each DLC to your computer but you have to pay to unlock it. I hope if Sims 5 has multiplayer features that they don't use this method.
Every pack and base game works out to be around $950 aud ($485 gbp), I’ve bought most and I’m not mad, but I don’t think it’s fair to say that’s how much ‘most games’ cost. Just an observation
The only thing I hate about the SIms 4 is that the game and all the expansion packs are still basically full price, so someone like me who hasn't played since Sims 3 can't really jump on the Sims 4 bandwagon without taking out a second mortgage. Oh well... I guess I'll just wait until the Sims 5 comes out in 2025 or whatever.
Same. I just play sims 3 and when I get bored of it I go back to sims 2. I considered buying sims 4 when it came out but everyone said it sucked so i never bothered. Now that it's (apparently) actually playable, it'll cost hundreds of dollars. Honestly, a company expecting you to sink that much money into ANY game is insane and I don't plan on doing it again, especially for sims 4.
If seasons and pets are included in base game they're both either going to be half arsed or base game is gonna be crap because they're spending time, money and working harder on those 2 different systems (which have always been included in paid for DLC). Just look at island living. The rest of that pack lacks depth because they had to focus so much on perfecting ocean swimming. I want a sturdy base game, unlike the Sims 4
@@EnglishSimmer so then spend the time and work out the bugs. Spend the time and add depth before pushing out packs. Makes no sense why they can't spend the dang time to do these things right.
I pay for packs and i dont want seasons or pets in base game. I'd rather they focus in on seasons and pets and flesh them out then get them in base game. Also she might not pay for packs but that doesnt mean you can invalidate her opinion. She's a player too and while she doesnt have to pay for the packs, she does have to wait for them to be released like everyone else so if she would rather the sims team focus on creating a better base game so we can get pets and seasons later on, which would be much more focused on for those packs then it would if they had to cram it in with the base game. If they put seasons and pets in, other aspects of the game will lack depth as a consequence.
EnglishSimmer yeah well maybe they could include like a basic weather system I think and then later release a whole dedicated pack that’s a choice to buy but it’s unfair to people who don’t want to but those packs so they get nothing ,I agree I think the base game should be a stable and good canvas for packs to build upon
I would like to see open world in the sims 5, but upgraded from sims 3. I'd like pre-teens, but done right. I would really like to see height variations, but player controlled. I want 6" tall sims, and 4"11' sims.
I honestly think that the sims 5 will be the last game because I really don’t see them improving any further after that (unless of course ts5 is a bust and they redeem themselves with a sims 6)
I think sims 5 online will not have expansion packs. It'll have like once off payment i believe and everything will be updated from time to time. Its the only thing that makes sense
IMO the only thing sims 4 did right was the graphics. The "game" is not a game, its a hamburger with just the bread and you pay up to 40dollars /euro for a slice of soggy cheese
I want it to be an open world too, and have the option of being on-line or single player (hope that is the right name for it). To me Sims 4 sucked, but so has the wait for Sims 5. I am pretty much at the point they can shove the game. I do know for a fact I will not buy it till I find out what I am buying and not be gullible and just jump when it comes out, like I did on Sims 4. I know my opinion is unpopular probably but, it is, what it is...you got yours, and I have mine.
![Why I Stopped Signing In My Videos... // FAQs [CC]](/img/n.gif)
What I want for sims 5:
Depth.
That’s it. That’s the list.
Queen Katara I just want meaningful play
Yesssss
Yesss! And for Sims to be individual as even with different traits Sims still act the same way. I want each Sim to feel entirely unique and different from another Sim.
Yes!! Character Depth! That is a thing thats missing!
3 Character Traits in Sims4 come on! I was so disappointed.
Since the reasons TS4 is the way it is, is that it started out as a multiplayer chat program, I think we have reason to be concerned.
I want “open world” but I don’t want a full open world. I think it should be open neighborhood. For example, I should be able to go to a neighbors house without a loading screen.
If not open world than at the very least this.
This. 100%. I do love The Sims 3 and I understand why they took two steps back and brought these loading screens because of how laggy and empty The Sims 3 was. But they could've easily met in the middle with this by making neighborhoods you're in all open world and loading screens only when you're switching to a different town. This would easily bring cars and other vehicles back.
I've been wanting this since sims 3.5 to 10 lot neighborhood would be perfect.I also would like to see the sims jumping on a car/bus or walk down a metro station before seeing the loading screen.
Exactly!! A neighbors house without a loading screen
This 100%
I'm just worried that "online" means tons of micro transactions in game and getting nickel and dimes for clothes and hair pieces and the disallowing of CC and mods, basicaly what happened between Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, I Dont trust EA not to make it a cash grab.
When you think about it the DLC is already enough transactions! If they top that off with micro transactions then that's it. The sims is dead.
Stuff packs game packs micro transactions already. It used to be just expansion packs.
yup, that's what i think it will be. it will be a way to get rid of mods and instead sell content in a 'store' like an online mmo where you have to buy each individual piece of extra content you want. i love the sims and bioware but i can never trust EA.
though i will say if it's a separate thing like sims online updated and sims 5 is just their own thing i wouldn't complain. it;'s just the fact that they could potentially merge them is big yikes.
I wont be playing it if they do.
@@nightfrost1891 They already had store connection in Sims 3, but you could opt out of that and you didn't have to buy stuff for your game. Mods were still possible, too.
I want an open world. I want to see the world as living, alive with sims and pets running around. I want to see my neighbors walk into their house, have a BBQs, parties etc.
And the npcs having depth so it seems like they’re actually real
Also I want to start poor and go up the ladder to rich
@@abzhassan8324 ??? You can
Madi H I know but I mean in a world where I don’t control it for example gta v have it to and u earn money through hard work
Yes and also horses. And swans and spiders and stuff.
As long as 5 doesn't make me bored after 30 minutes of playing, doesn't have microtransactions, and has an offline option I'll be happy
I really hope for some sims 2 esque depth. Where the townies had relationships outside of their households, bios, interests, and memories. It added so much, like also the old chemistry system where they sometimes just wont find eachother attractive and match. Also little things like getting your kid into private school cause it makes the game just a little harder. More challenging, make it harder to accrue wealth and also just more fun but random things
Adri Void yessss exactly, I want more challenge in the game! Everyone gets along unless you purposely have them say rude things to each other. And romantically, they almost always find each other attractive. It’s just so easy and it gets boring after a while. It’d be nice like you said to have a chemistry system
Yes, it be nice for sims to have turn-offs and turn-ons. again, like Like like blonde hair and makeup. but maybe they aren't into skinny sims. or maybe like like hulked out, red-heads but it breaks the deal if they wear cologne/perfume.
How about they actually make sexuality a thing in the base game like actually having Gay, Bi and such sims instead of blank slate default bi-sexual sims.
Also, have it so you can make custom hairstyles. like you can custom size the style rather than just picking one by clicking on it.
Pets in Base game
University and seasons in the base game
COLOR WHEEL!
I feel like the opinion of not wanting to buy the sims 5 because so much was spent on the sims 4 can be read as the sims 4 doesn’t feel finished.
It really doesnt.
I wish they had more of a community survey to ask what we want
Agreed. I hope that TS4 can improve enough so that when TS5 is release I will still want to play TS4.
I think the sims 4 is WAY more expensive than the previous sims games, and that IS a downside to the sims 5 coming. And while I love all of the game changers I watch, I do think (even if you paid for sims packs in the past) you guys have a skewed view of how much people spend on the game. And with such a wide reaching online community, the expectation is you have to have all of the packs if you want to get involved in building for the gallery/simblr/sims Twitter etc. I know EA does have to make money and packs have a lot of work in them, but some of the stuff we've paid for in the sims 4 has been kinda thin in content for the money you pay for it, and I think gamechangers aren't gonna have the same view of that
Technically Sims 3 was the most expensive if you count all the store content. But I still rather play the sims 3 with all its bugs than the sims 4, it's just bland and lifeless af.
@@francisdolarhydeisafurry1532 I think it's easy to factor out the store content from the sims 3 because it wasn't seen as *necessary* like packs were (from an online community perspective) . Furthermore we had an easier time with custom content textures matching in game textures and create a style meaning customisation of existing objects and cas items was easier too (so in general we sought less new content in the store). With that factored in, the sims 4 is much more expensive to your average player (as opposed to gamechangers) who wants to get involved with the community
I was looking for this comment! Especially with the gallery, you feel like you need the packs because otherwise everything seems incomplete - and YES, thank you for saying that we pay the same amount of money for less content (stuff packs, I‘m looking at you)!
@@janedhoe5872 yeah tbh I know we need to be realistic about the restrictions higher ups put on the developers/sim gurus but the sims 4 has felt thin and I have spent loads of money on it for it to still feel incomplete after almost 6 years?
If weather is a effing dlc again I think I will just skip the Sims 5, there are practically no games without weather nowadays. Also if it has optional multiplayer fine, but an online game won't be something I'd get.
Good point. I'm not saying they should make all Seasons expansion features BG, but a basic weather cycle with sun and rain should really not be a DLC. As well as a calendar. There can still be expansions with stuff like snow and skiing or seasonal festivals, but buying an expansion just to see rain in a game world in 2020? That's some nerve.
Karolína H. Exactly what I meant! I think adding weather from the get go would make it easier to add tie in features in future dlcs and actually expand on things in the expansion packs.
I'm on the fence about pets being dlc only, but I think my first pet's stuff is an example of why it would be better to have them in some form in base game, maybe as an update, because now it's much harder to add items to them afterwards without people going crazy.
The weather has always been a dlc. The other games didn't feel incomplete at launch just because there wasn't weather. I'd be much more concerned if they shipped the "life simulator" with no toddlers, teens and elders indistinguishable for adults, and practically no careers again.
vanyadolly I don’t agree that it ”didn’t feel incomplete” when weather is added it feels real, I wouldn’t want to play without toddlers either, but weather is a lighting thing that any tripple a game have now, it’s stupid to expect people to pay, and if it was in basegame we could get a whole summer or winter themed expansion with much more in depth hobbies and activities.
@@vanyadolly the idea of a game evolving is to unlock previously payed features and make them free. It's a franchise...
An online sims game worries me. EA made more than $2.5 billion in the last finical year on micro transactions alone. It makes up two thirds of their total revenue. If they can get away with putting the Sims online and monetise the crap out of it, they will. They’ve said in the past that single player games are dead and the only way forward is multiplayer, which isn’t true. But always online and multiplayer equals monetisation and that is always EA’s goal.
Edit to add: all the DLC, when not on special, totals up to more than $900 USD. That is far, far too much to ask for DLC. It is not in the same price range of other AAA games. It’s greed, pure and simple.
Yeah, I would never trust EA when it comes to milking every penny out of their games. This far luckily Sims has been spared from the worst cash grabs (not counting expensive DLCs), but if there's a way to get more money, EA will always take it with the minimum amount of actual addition for the player.
This argument holds little sway.
If you bought it all together at once. Yes its alot. If you take something like WoW or FF14. If you paid to play that game for 7 years (the same length Sims) is out it cost almost 1200 dollars. That's not including any DLC.
So spending 900$ over 7 years (that's only IF you buy everything) doesnt sound as ridiculous.
@@lucaleone4331 True, but I also feel that just because other games charge more in a different way shouldn't give right to other franchises to do so. Ideally all games should shy away from this instead of encourage it.
Luca Leone except it is a ridiculous amount of money to ask anyone to spend on any one game. It’s a ridiculous ask to spend $1200 on WoW or FF14 too. Don’t give publishers a pass just because you like their games. They can still have great and wonderful games but be greedy at the same time.
Because it is greed. The sheer amount of money that these publishers make is mind boggling and most of it ends up in the pockets of executives and not the developers who actually make the games. Like I said, it is ok to love these games, but that does not excuse bad practices that rip off both consumer and developer.
@@lucaleone4331 But FFXIV base and its DLC content is actually worth it and far more interesting than The Sims 4 right now. The Sims 3 had Store Content as well but everyone was always hyped about new expansion packs because they had so much gameplay and substance.
It also sounds like a kind of crazy concept to create a slightly better base game every 5 years and then release the same themed packs.
Like they are basically making the same game, but improving it every 5 years to catch up with technology.
I’ve only played TS4, but I can’t imagine just handing over money to ea for the same thing every 5 years.
True
I don't know how it was on the computer but I know that on the console on Playstation mostly so I played on Growing Up it actually changed a lot more than just technology. The whole storyline changed and then it's Sims 3 you no longer have to go through a storyline and follow certain goals we still had all these other cool things going on while at the same time having the choice how much do in control your Sims behaviors.
Then Sims 4 arrived. I don't know what happened with Sims 4 all I know is that from what I've seen and from the little I've been able to play it kind of just erased most of their personality, erased most of the actual like storyline type of play, and it kind of put this weird polish on everything, where it felt like they're very much trying to make it more La feeling than your average Joe.
It gave up gameplay for aesthetics and mods and expansion packs.
That's just how I felt with the game.
If you ever want to try Sims 3, you can get it very cheaply from Steam during sales (expacs for $5!); they have some packs with base game and a couple of expacs for around $12 during those sales. You can use the code to unlock on your Origin account (although I recommend buying one thing at a time as my first try with that had major difficulty; after that got sorted out it's been fine for everything I've bought since). The Sims 3 has a lot more items and a lot more depth to the game play; sure, it may not be as polished, but it's a great game and probably my favorite installment in the series. Sims 4 can be pretty boring sometimes by comparison. I will say, there's been less stuff in each iteration in some ways; I remember one expac in Sims 1 brought this enormous scuba tank you could put in your house, and Sims 2 having a ballet barre, things like that. But in Sims 3 you teach your toddlers to walk and talk, can teach teens to drive, teens get proms, etc.
But the bad thing is that they technically aren’t just recreating the base game but better. Look at the sims 2. They’ve honestly watered it down depth wise. I think the tech gets more expensive but the budget remains the same so it becomes beautiful but shallow
The only way I see online multiplayer working is a separate online world that sims can visit like a community lot but not live on.
I would find it interesting to interact with actual sims controlled by players, since NPC reactions are so predictable. To actually have a sim be randomly mean or do something funny would be a nice change!
But that's the issue you see, Sims weren't that uninteresting and predictable and similar in their reactions in previous sims, It's the big fault of sims 4 they completely broke sims personalities and instead of fixing it by keeping the good of sims 4 and adding back the good of sims 2 and 3 interests, personality traits, likes and dislikes and behaviors plus adding some new interesting elements to make them even better they'll simply hand us a sort of dollhouse and let us be the puppeteers of the sims to make them interesting.
Also if there is an online mode the whole game even the offline version would still be a single program meaning that any technical or gameplay restriction they would have to follow during the development to make the online work would apply to the offline too as it's not possible to maintain two separate versions with two different coding but who should have the same functionalities and patches etc. That's a sure way to fail because it's too expensive, time consuming and horrendous to maintain at every update or bug fix.
Also what about mods and CC ? To play online everyone has to have the same game so mods and CC cannot be used in online if all the people connected in the same server don't use the exact same content. Imagine the difficulty for people to connect together if they have to compare a list of hundreds or thousands of CC to be sure they can play together ? Meaning no mods or CC online and the only content would be the official one, good way to make you buy items in an online store.
And then the best outcome is that mods and CC have to be disabled before going online but there could even be restrictions on what mods and CC could be allowed at all because the game would be restricted in it's code by the online version, technical restrictions if you wish that would prevent mods from working.
It's simply a bad idea in my opinion and if they want a sims online they should make a separate game, not sims 5
That is why I was thinking. Before I bought the sims 4 I used to play online and it had a separate world we’re you can play with your friends families. If they could adjust it so not only it’s a separate world but it would allow online players to connect and get together. Kinda like the online NBA 2K where online players can play basketball together but in the sims they can chat and interact.
I agree I also like the idea of the single player aspect but having a community world with no houses and you can't live there. so if you want to you can chat with REAL people in Real time and ask game play questions. share ideas on play and build. but to be able to leave that option and single play. I am just worried about EA and their micro-transations they have been doing.
The “don’t want sims 5 because paid so much for sims 4” is a totally valid point tbh. It’s not an opinion I share, but I completely understand it. It’s not that people don’t want sims 5 to come out ever, just that they don’t want it to come it YET because that means those who can’t afford to jump to the sims 5 are stuck with sims 4 without the team working to improve the game when there’s still so much that could be improved.
I want it to have things like seasons in base game because it makes the games so much more interesting and if it doesnt have toddlers in base game i will get do mad ngl
Katharine F but with seasons in base game, it won’t be as in depth or special. It will probably just be snow, orange leaves, flowers, and sunshine
i wish they would add seasons(and even pets) in base game but they are both such well selling packs I doubt they will. They make a lot of money.
Weren't they going to do Seasons in the bg for Sims 2? I just remember hearing someone say something about it. But yes, of course it takes time to work on, but that's like the base of any life simulator, pretty much life itself.
I think colour wheel
They didn’t have toddlers in base game because the game got rushed out the door too fast, you can’t blame the team for that. As always, EA is an asshole company lmao.
I was like 12 when The Sims Online came out and I got it. I hated it. There were no money cheats or jobs, so you had to craft to make money and spend all your time online doing that to be able to do anything. And it was NOT teen friendly to say the least. Lots of sim sex parties and predatory behavior. They'd have a lot of work on their hands to keep it clean if they tried that again.
I liked it dirty though lol. I was still extremely young when Sims first came out. I didn't get to play on a computer version until Sims3 pets.
The version I remember was 1,000% more raunchy than anything I've seen watching vids of Sims4, except for Kevin's gaming channel.
I miss the old school vibes of it, not the cleaner more L.A type attitudes they have now in the game.
@@Megramia288 I miss how raunchy the GAME was back in the day, too. It was much funnier and on the nose. I may not have been clear, but I meant the other people online. There was no separation of adults and kids on the online game, and people were constantly cybersexxing in the group chat, and grown, old adults being way too creepy and friendly with young tweens, knowing their ages. And that's most of all that it was. It was hard to find something fun to do in the sims online because every room/lot was filled with thirsty old people looking to cyber, lol.
Just ban woohoo from sims multiplayer or make an 18+ "room" /Server. If they REALLY wanted a kid friendly area, they could take a club penguin type approach and have preset greetings.
So you'd end up with a kid friendly area, a normal heavily moderated area and a 18+ area, but honestly I thi K banning woohoo and killing would just be the ideal solution
I don't want The Sims 5 yet. I know it'll be a few years until it's released but there is so much lacking in The Sims 4. It's not about having more focus on ts5 because they have completely different teams but I think that most of us just aren't satisfied enough with ts4.
SuperSimly I feel like the sims 4 reached its apex honestly :(. This is as best as it gets and they’re not gonna make it any different than what it is
we all have to agree that sims 4 just isn't that good as a whole. even if you have all of the Dlcs(which there are a LOT), this game has no substance at all.
sorry for my english, not my first or 2nd language lol.
why you sad you’re good queen! We’re all on the same page
User - not true considering they’re currently working on more packs
The prices in the gaming world has gone up, yes, but very few big games (if any) have that many DLCs. Sims 4 live of off the DLC prices on top of a quite pricey base game and the base game of Sims 4 is almost useless. Thats the big differece and the way they make alot of their DLCs are incomplete to make people buy more, to get a more complete game.
I think colour wheel
lilyira haha sorry i’ve heard “DLC” so many times but i don’t know what it stands for lol can you tell me what it means?
Zazel Taye DLCs are expansion/game/stuff packs, I think it stands for downloaded content; in the wider gaming community it refers to every optional addition to a game (paid for or free in some cases), meaning micro transactions like buying currency in-game with real money aren’t included as they don’t expand on the original content, but the free holidays pack in TS4 is a DLC because even though you don’t pay for it, it expands upon the gameplay in a small way.
@@brillianna4042 you think colorwheel what?
I agree. If you play Sims 4 now with just the base game and ONE expansion pack, it's still very lacking in depth, making it difficult for the gamer to buy more if you're a fan of the franchise or just not play much at all because you're not that into it and see all the missing pieces.
I have to disagree. Weather should be in base game. At least rain I mean geez.
Tweens, colour wheel, stuff like girlfriend, boyfriend, step-????, ?????? in law, BFF, enemy ect. in cas and NO ONLINE!
Basically the Sims 3 with Tweens would be ideal!
COLOUR WHEEL YESSSSSSSS
Maybe cats and dogs with weather base game to
Having a cloud system in base game is actually a really good idea. the constant sunny days can get tedious when you have to wait a few years for seasons to be released.
I feel like a lot of people jumped to IMVU-type assumptions; chatting with random people, people in my world.... I imagined Multiplayer to be a more offline experience, where myself and a friend can sit down and play together and that friend can interact with my save when I approve. I owned EVERYTHING for TS Original and TS2. (My graphics card couldn’t handle TS3 after about a year.) I could care less about the money I’ve spent. I just want the best versions of TS1-4 to be mixed together...and that should make the best thing.
Thank you, thank you so much for trying to clarify the multiplayer concept! I agree and would love to play with my sisters and friends. Idk why they would allow you to join a like chat room with like 30 people and run loose. People should look up Simsync and sims multiplayer mod which are mods already made for sims 4 multiplayer the right way!
I am just afraid of having to pay a subscription fee and then being charged for dlc or add-on’s to the game. Otherwise, I am excited.
See, I think having a weather system in the base game just makes sense.
I wouldn't mind seasons still being an expansion, but I'd like to atleast have rain in the base game, then add a bunch of weather types in a pack (hurricane, thunderstorm, hail, snow, blizzards, etc)
When I heard multiplayer for the sims. I thought of it more as you can play it with friends, not with strangers.
What I hope for TS4 (and if not TS5):
Improved babies
More things for elders
more relationship options in CAS
Pre-teen
More animals
A firefighter career
A meterologist career
Vehicles
More activities for children
..... what things do you guys want to see that I didn't list?
Car seat for baby 😍
We can't have cars and have it make sense without open world.
A girl can dream 😂😄😂
I've never thought of pre teens before but I like the idea a lot
I think colour wheel / pattern wheel
Ngl though, I’ve spent probably $300 on packs in the last 6 months. It would kind of suck if the sims 5 came out very soon and I had to start all over.
I just want Sims 2 gameplay and lore with Sims 4 graphics 😂
Honestly, I wish they’d just stop releasing new sims games. Finish the Sims 4 first. It’s still missing so much. Like actually fix the game you’ve already released instead of basically scrapping it and starting fresh again
EA is a billion dollar company with large amounts of resources. There should be no reason they can’t add seasons and pets into a base game.
Wish list for Sims 5: Open World, Cars, and larger family tree in CAS.
(I might add more to this)
Im getting kinda bored of sims 4 after playing it for 5 years, and i really want sims 5 to be more like sims 3. An open world and cars. Im really exited what ea has to bring:))
correct me if i'm wrong but i believe in sims 3 there was a "multi-player" feature where you could send gifts to your friends that you added online. I personally think that was a nice feature and would like to see it again in future sims games. It would be a way to add a multi-player feature that you can enjoy with friends without disrupting a player's individual single-player experience. But that's just my opinion c:
IDK about the computer version on that but I know on Sims 2 I think Bustin Out I'm not sure don't quote me there was a virgin on the PlayStation where you could go to multiplayer and you and your friend could sit together and they could play your non storyline character and your storyline character can meet or something like that but you had to go to a different Sim house and Sim neighborhood to do that
I've played another online game for about 10 years. I have run into the issue with inappropriate behavior directed towards me. What that game did was to put in a /ignore command (in the case of The Sims, it could be a 'maintenance' option on the social wheel). Later on, they added an "ignore and report" option. This one went to the moderators. The player decides which to use. I've seen discussions about mods. Mods were used massively on that online game. If they affected other players, only players that also had the mod were affected. So, for example, if an extreme violence mod was being used by some players, I would not even see those interactions if I did not have the mod. Nor would my Sims be able to participate in those activities. Another topic is in-game security. I wouldn't want anyone to come on my property if I did not give permission. Right now, Sims knock on the door, but I think the player would have to be on my 'friends' list before they could just walk up to my door or interact with anything on my lot. Imagine logging back in after work and finding your house burned down and all your sims are now vampires that have joined another household! I have played another game that was a castle raiding type game. In that, your real-life friends could join your military instead of creating their own castle. Then someone with a more powerful military comes along when you are not even logged in, devastates your military and takes prisoners. Now your friends are characters in the conquerors military. So, basically, there need to be boundaries and personal permission. Just my 2 cents (or pence). :) Edited: Just want to add something I forgot to mention, I think the best-case scenario would be to make it optional. In other words, I can create a lot and household in the online version, but I can keep my offline saves. We can 'connect' like we do with the gallery.
what i want for ts5 is that the devs play the past games, find their strengths and see what is it that has brought us to this franchise in the first place. i always get the feeling that they don't even know their own game (and probably some of them really dont).
I am not exactly the core demographic for the Sims. aka: I'm old. For me, the sims 4 was dumbed down for younger players, and it was a disappointment. Even the cartoon look of it took a long time for me to get used to. So online play is not really something I am looking for, although I do enjoy aspects of the sims community. I want the sims 5 to make me forget about all the expansion packs I own for previous versions, the way the Sims 2 and Sims 3 did when they came out. I want a richness for all age levels, including seniors. I need more aspirations and trait slots. Emotions are fine, but I don't think they make up for the depth of personality that you had with previous sim versions. My sims always have a secret favorite color, I miss that, as silly as it is.
First I played TS4, then I tried TS3 and thought it was more fun. So I tried TS2. And today I played TS1. Based on the direction things are going I rather have The Sims 0.5 than The Sims 5.
I remember everyone being upset when the Sims 4 came out too. It was "too cartoony" and everyone had already spent so much on Sims 3. People just hate change, but I'm sure once the game takes off (still in the far future) it'll get a better response
Keri Quite Contrary tbh The Sims 4 look is my favorite
@@remylabeau5140 same I love it! But at the time I remember people going nuts lol
Im just scared they will remove cc and i won't be able to use it
last I remembered everyone was hyped to hell and back for Sims 4 only when people realized how much things they scrapped and how much lower quality it was people started to hate it.
@@Emil-lf3no exactly what I was about to tell, the Sims 4 base game is just empty, and the original Sims 4 was very buggy and even shallower than it is now. And yes, I still dislike the Sims 4 even nowadays lmao
Here's my unpopular opinion: so everyone is going on about The Sims 5 like it's actually been confirmed. But the quotes I've seen were extremely vague, something along the lines that 'an upcoming Sims experience might have online elements'. For all we know an 'upcoming Sims experience might be another mobile game. But if the Sims 5 is coming out I'm going to let it mature a few years before I get it anyway. The past couple of Sims games have taken a few years to have all the features (expansions) I've wanted.
If it doesn't have open world in a way we can control all of our sims at once like Sims 3, they can burn Sims 5. And yeah I mean worlds as big as Sims 3 had, cars where you travel around the world and such with this.
I agree with this so much. This is 2020 and computers are advancing many games are open world such as red dead redemption 2, GTA, etc. I want Sims 5 to be advanced and a stem up from Sims 4
@dr103 yeah but they can make it optimized open world. Sims 3 was just badly coded. If you have a low end pc then try to run the game on medium settings but I understand what you're saying
dr103 Not really. You should be able to run any sims game with a 10 year old PC.
I would rather see a game were the producers are making it, then seeing a game were the players decide everything. It’s so annoying seeing everyone complaining on what should be in the game and so on. I like that the players can give feedback on the game, but it’s not funny playing a game where you know what’s gonna happen next, like university. I loved when the dropped the news for get famous and tiny living, because it was so unexpected and fun to get a surprise, then knowing that university was gonna come
Everyone got to vote on the next pack and look how that went lmao 💀
In other genres these are called armchair devs and well, it doesn't go well for other games too.
Yeah. I really disagree
The only wish i have for sims 5 is that it includes a semi-open world with 4-5 preloaded lots! And also it would be nice if we could get the smal videos from sims 2 when sims got married or proposed to back. I might be the only one who wants them back but i realy loved them
It's so annoying tho because the team want to try something new but then loads of people complain that they want stuff from a previous game. They can not win
There's gonna be the Sims 5, it's just a matter of time. It would be completely crazy not to continue such a profitable franchise. I do hope it's still a few years away and that they do put more effort into the base game than in 4. I would love if the support for sims 4 also continued but that might be wishful thinking.
I think at least rain should be in the base game, the rest of the weather can be an expansion, because rain can come no matter what season it is, rather than it always being sunny.
i really, really, really, REALLY don’t want sims 5 to come out soon. there’s been a flood of dlc’s in the sims 4, i think it’s unfair and corrupt to have everyone by upgrades to one game then come out with a brand new “better” one.
I think I will really like the multiplayer feature if it works the way StarDew Valley multiplayer does.. I don’t wanna play with strangers but I’d love to play with my friends!!
Also, Molly! You are so much for quality over quantity..I love you for that ❤️❤️
Muhsina Khan i agree! if they do multiplayer i want it to be like stardew valley
Sucks for people who dont have friends
If theres going to be multiplayer I hope that you can make you own server so you can play with friends and not whith strangers
i want small multiplayer, like just me and my friend. and definitely have separate singleplayer worlds
Finally I found one person who wants multiplayer. All the comments I read say no they don't want it. I think playing with my cousin on the same lot would be fun.
ddganics yea, lilsimsie said it should be like stardew valley where you can make a world and up to 4 friends and we can play but you can make seperate single players worlds. I like that idea
Yeah. I’d like to play with a friend or two. I don’t want random people on my sims game.
I think we should have puberty stage in sims like teen acne. I loved it in the sims 2.
Also kids being able to do paper rounds and pets having jobs again
Open world or I’m dropping the game FOREVER!!!
Then I want cars. Sims Freeplay gets more than we do. SIMS FREEPLAY!!!
6:56 It's also good to note that the sims 4 community will definitely still be thriving once the sims 5 is out. There's plenty of people who play past sims games still. The packs won't disappear from the game once the sims 5 is out. I do admit having all packs for the sims 4 is a lot of money though.
I used to LOVE the sims online! And the fact that they're saying they want to make multiplayer optional is great because I do like single-player gameplay, as well.
6:50 I think the problem with the packs is not that it's expensive(and there's lots), but more to do with the amount of quality stuff you get, compared to previous game packs. For a stuff pack you'd get maybe 10 new items and like 10 things that either was in other stuff packs, therefore unneeded or recolours of other items, but the recolours dint match anything else..
One issue that might arise from not owning all DLCs now compared to before is the community aspect. I never played the Sims 3 so I don't know if there was a content sharing system, but in 1 and 2 it didn't bother me if I didn't have all DLCs, because I played by myself and didn't know what I missed out on! In 4 it's already rough to download builds from the Gallery if you don't have all packs, builds get weird or missing items etc. So if TS5 is even more communal, it might be even more pressuring especially for younger players to "need" to own all DLCs.
This is a really good video, very thought provoking and I like the discussions in the comments!😊 (hence the spamming of my opinons😅)
Surely if they were to have multiplayer in the sims 5, it would be an option? like Minecraft and other games, with online servers and all that
I think that if they did do a planet zoo based competition system would be a cool online experience. Or maybe a stardew valley like system where you could share a neighbourhood with some friends and play and build together could be good.
But micro-transactions are just a big no no. I do not mind extra packs or paying for them all again I just fear something like the Sims 3 store .
What I'm worried about is Sims 5 possibly becoming subscription based so everyone has the same thing, if it does go down the multiplayer route that'll be the most likely scenario, which I'm just not here for, I binge play for a month and then don't touch it for 4.. maybe they could have a separate world that could be multiplayer and you can choose to visit or live there if you want
There are games which definitely profit from online multiplayer. A lot of different games types do, honestly. But for me, Sims 5 as an online open world looks more like 'we're not going to give the NPC sims any more depth, we're just going to relate on other players making the world more lived-in.' I honestly didn't need the online element in Sims 3 and I certainly won't need it in Sims 5. Simulate all lives, including those of the townies, that should be plenty for Sims 5.
Me and my family have bought all of my sims2, Sims 3 and sims 4 packs. I still play all of them because I enjoy then and so I get my money worth
Being negative to the game gives the developer incentive to make it better, if you ignore the flaws they will keep giving us crap. But ive got no problem people like what they like, but giving negative criticism is what we need to to get better games.
I agree, which is why I said the community needs to do it respectfully and also with a level head. I've seen a lot of people tearing other fans and the team down whenever something they don't like is included or they feel something is missing. Being insulting doesn't get you anywhere. I've constantly given constructive feedback as a game changer and I'll continue to do so as long as I play the sims
@@EnglishSimmer thanks for replying and im thankfull that your doing that in your position as a game changer. I'm not active on the forums or within the sims community so i had no idea people were receiving hate for posting there positive experiences with the game, imo both good and bad feedback should be encouraged.
And on the whole dlc point i think EA could be alot more generous with the pricing, i have a few friends that want to get into sims but the dlc prices make them reconsider.
@@MAGICCOFFEY Unfortunately, EA and generous don't really go together when history is considered... But I do agree, adding all DLCs actually makes the Sims the most expensive mainstream game in the world.
And just to add, esp a game where the base game is honestly quite unplayable without any DLCs makes me quite sad. I wouldn't mind high prices to pay for extra content, but now it is actuslly quite necessary to purchase DLCs just to be able to play a coherent, functional game.
I know this would likely never happen because it hasn't in years but I MISS how in the Console Games like Sims 1/2, Bustin' Out and Urbz had a storyline with missions and goals. I get that was a console thing however it totally got me into Sims! I've since played the rest on my laptop but I feel the missions could really give you something to do in the game if you choose to follow it
Positive Comment on the The Sims 4: We have two solid years of content remaining. Probably 4 expansion packs, two feature packs in that time frame. :D
I would love you to do a video on "What I love about the Sims 4"' - let's spread the positivity ❤️
I think people forget that how sims 4 does there packs basically replaces the sims 3 exchange which was so expensive.
Every time a new version of the Sims comes out it will always feel lacking in comparison to the previous fully fleshed out with multiple expansions version. If/when Sims 5 comes out I'll probably wait for a few expansions to come out before jumping over to it.
omg LOVER in the background makes me so happy ugh my type of person
I played Sims 4 today for over 7 hours..trying to kill my sim.. My Sims house with his wife and 3 kids is in Sulani. He started a fire while washing/drying clothes.. I deliberately took the fire/smoke alarm detector out of the house because I didn't want sims to automatically try to extinguishe the fire. But they all came running with extinguishers anyway. I actually kept making my sim walk into the fire & atleast 6 times he stood in the middle of the fire during which he should have and would normally be burnt to death... Not a chance. He only had slight burnt tinge to his clothes. This is obviously a glitch which needs to be addressed but it's another reason why I am getting frustrated with this game.. People are talking about sims 5 but wouldn't it be a better idea to get Sims 4 working properly before trying to jump into the next Game?? I for 1 feel like I'm wasting my time on a game that needs fixing..but everyone now just seems to want to jump onto the next supposition...Sims 5 Maybe Sims 5 will have sims that actually are not indestructible and die in a fire or get electrocuted by machines or get abducted without the chance of things happening being decreased. It's all well to say stop the negativitu about sims 5 but if we don't voice our concerns and problems even if they are negative, then it won't ever be corrected in the future & we will carry on getting the same of what we are getting now in years to come 🤔
Actually probably not a glitch. Sulani by default has v helpful neighbourhood Sims because it's a friendly island where everyone knows everyone. So it's probably the worst place to choose to live of you actually want to kill a sim off as everyone will just constantly save you 😂
@@EnglishSimmer... Thanks for your reply Molly, I just have a hard time accepting a Sim can stand in a raging fire without burning... I'm trying so hard to kill him in my Black widow Challenge. I wonder if there's also influence of mods (slice of life/ Explore/Etxtreme violence/Wwhims etc) which might be influencing this? It would be so good if these elements can work together in the next game. 🙂
I would like multiplayer if it was more like Co-Op where friends can come to my house and play along. It would make storytelling more immersive if my friend comes over and decides to create my sims nemesis. I’ve played all versions of the Sims except the online and free play. As a kid playing 1 and 2 one of the more annoying parts was having to trade places with my siblings during our gaming time.
When it comes to The Sims and Paralives, I'll just point you back to SimCity(2013) and Cities: Skylines.
There will never be a better sims game than sims 3. Sims 4 is fun.. but i always go back to 3 because it rocks compared. They do a multiple gamer sims version? they're just going to kill it. Completely.
Ok but can we at least get rain? Idk about anything else just... I don’t want to live through the eternal summer stage again. The sims 4 had traumatised me enough with that😰
How can being online make it an unwelcoming environment for women? If the core audience of the game is female, then the online majority would also be women. It would make it probably the only online game were most of the players are women.
BTW, I don't like the idea of it being online, I play the sims so I don't have to interact with other people lol.
Thay comment also confused me too. I think that women shouldn't be afraid of change because of harassment (which is still literally everywhere in life). We should just keep fighting for true equality in everyform as well as video games so we don't need to fear change.
Tbh, I haven't thought much about Sims 5 since we only know so little so far and also, I only got into Sims 4 fairly recently. The most controversial point seems to be the online modus. I think it depends on how exactly it'd look like. I doubt it's gonna be like "oh, I wanna see how my friend's Sims are doing, I'm sending one of mine over to their house and check", but I can't come up with an alternative either, haha. Also, I don't see much of a point in the argument "oh noes, I spent a lot of money on Sims 4 expansions". Like, yeah, you often spend money on a hobby that's important to you at that time. I had all expansion packs of The Sims 2 and kept playing it parallel to Sims 3 - and even preferred it over Sims 3. That leads me to my wishlist for a new installment of the Sims series: I like the artstyle of Sims 4 and hope we're gonna keep the comic look (to me, Sims in Sims 3 always looked... doughy, but with a plastic coat). I am certainly hoping for a game that's not glitchy and buggy as heck AND I want the depth of Sims 2 back. All in all, I'm looking forward to seeing more information about no. 5 being released, but I can also see myself playing The Sims 4 for another while.
OMG, what if there where an element to the sims 5 where you could intergreate(spelling?!) challenges such as princess legacy and so on and if you do the challenge according to the rules and collect all the points you will get something and even if you miss a rule or take some liberty in the game you can collect points or something.
That would either mean only the Sims team can do challenges (because they have to be put into the game) or they would need an import mode for putting your challenges into the game. I somewhat doubt that will be coming.
@@cayreet5992 i know but one can dream :)
I love the way planet zoo handles online challenges. I think the sims could definitely implement something like that successfully.
I feel like making it so child-friendly and then to suggest an online Sims 5 is really dangerous. They'll either have to dump this audience, or make it more like a Club Penguin experience, which could lose a lot of the classic Sims players.
not wanting an open world because the sims 3 lags or was sometimes empty on public lots is like not wanting fps games on consoles because golden eyes controls sucked
No sim's game need's to be open world, whatever engine's EA uses for "open world" for the sim's are clearly broken and unoptimize. There is no reason sim's 3 and 4 should perform worse then read dead 2 on pc 1440p almost full max settings, and assassin's creed odyssesy 1440p maxed. Sim's 3 and 4 have unexplainable lag and stutter, and it's just a joke now. EA also does not care for single player, if at any point they decide to actually put a multiplayer platform into a sim's game, it'll be doomed. Red dead 2 has multiplayer and guess what, because of that SP will never see a beloved DLC no matter how much ppl want it, because it cost's more, and doesn't generate an endless pocket of money for little effort. Multiplayer in sim's 5 would give EA reasons for micro's, because you cannot and will not be allowed/able to mod online. Look at mobile sim's, they are the bottom of sim's gaming for a reason,PC would be no different, it'll turn into fallout 76, or second life/imvu which are only enjoyed by ppl because of friend's, not because they offer anything decent gameplay wise.Multiplayer and single player, what? Let's just watch as EA add's load's of micros to online for clothes, hair etc plus pump out the same or more amount of the endless pit of SP DLC too? Uh no. Why are the sim's allowed to be the one game series that is worth $400+ with 20+ DLC's while beloved game's like the witcher 3 have max 2 incredible DLC's for $20 each. Most triple A title's only ever have 1-3 dlc's. I'd pay $80 for a single wonderful DLC of any other game series but i'm tired of EA and the sim's pit of dlc.
I think that some things that have been DLC expansions should be Base game for 5.If they are trying to really improve the game play experience. When I get 'Sims 5' All lot types, parenting, Seasons, Pets should already be a part of the base game. I feel like DLC and micro transactions are getting out of hand already for games in general. Has DLC made it easier for games to be put on the market incomplete, then charge for an update?...
I've played all the past sims games, and have bought loads of packs for every iteration of the game. (With the exception of the sims 1, which my parents payed for lmao), but I have by far spent the most on the Sims 4. I've spent about $500AUD in total on the sims 4, and honestly at this point I'm just not excited about starting the whole process all over again. Personally the sims 5 base game would have to be really impressive for me to want to buy it, if and when it does eventually come out. I am really interested in what the art style will look like though. Personally I'm a big fan of the cartoonish look of the sims 4. I'm not sure they could upgrade the character models/CAS in a way that wouldn't make it look too far into the uncanny valley.
Don't want online No NO NO NO NO!!!!!! Remember in Sims 3 when you hosted sims for showtime, and bugs and dodgy cc got in peoples games eeeek No just NO!!!
very true, i've been playing sims since the first one and it's always been like this lol. i did spend more money on ts4 than the others but that's because i'm an adult now so i'm the one paying for the games fldkms. i'm here for any sims content, frankly, and i agree with you that ts4 has core issues that maybe can be solved but only if working on the base game.
I just want open neighborhoods, more in depth and fleshed out personalities, and a local multiplayer option( single player and multiplayer option.)
Going from a child to a teen is always a bit weird. Like one day you’re 10 and the next you’re like 16 lol I think the thing is that teens look to much like young adults. If the teens looked a little less adult it’d make more sense for me.
I think with the social aspect, he could be referring too the idea of implementing a bit of a "social media" type platform in to the gallery, so that you could message other Simmers about their creations, or perhaps, join little groups where you can share stories and builds etc. I think something like this would be a welcome addition.
I don't want Sims 5 because sims 4 just isn't finished. I keep giving EA a chance because the Sims is iconic and fun.
I don’t see a multiplayer game working with TS5
First this is all speculation and we shouldn't jump to conclusions. Maybe it's a Sims5. Maybe it's a spin off of the Sims franchise. If it were a Sims 5 in development, there would be more than one office working on it as it takes a long time to develop just one game so it's too early to tell. With that said, I wouldn't want it to be another Second Life sort of game where players can have multiplayer function with that as the basis for gameplay, so it would be nice if it were an OPTION function and still escape to our own worlds and continue gameplay however we want. Subscriptions and paying for everything through game is very annoying and turns off a lot of people because it's the same thing as walking into Zara (or other highly price store) where you like a lot of things but become sad because you can't afford it. I wouldn't want an open world because that requires a very good computer; something a lot of people don't have the money for. Without it, the game will lag like crazy. Maybe have a slightly more open world, such as being able to travel between two close lots without a loading screen. Again, there's very little information so there's not much to say other than = let's see where this goes. Hopefully it's a spin-off they are working on. In the meantime, enjoy Sims4 / Sims Mobile / Sims Freeplay, and any other previous game. :)
Unpopular (judging from the amount of fake sims 5 videos on YT) opinion: Sims 5 should not have realistic graphics at all. Sims 4 has the best graphics (though I don’t like the gameplay hence I’m playing Sims 2) and will age so well. I don’t need gazillion polygons on my sims, just make the game fun and we are square, EA.
I agree with this. Looks-wise, TS4 looks like a true sequel to TS2, just brighter and more updated. TS3 is... a fucking mess.
I think we should get season in base game (and maybe small pets) as I think season system should in the foundation as in the Sims 4 they had restructure expansions and base game to make seasons works.
I don’t thinks it would be a waste of resources as we don’t know what resources the Sims has we can only speculate. Everybody has a idea of what the Sims should be like or progress doesn’t mean anybody is wrong it’s just different viewpoints so I agree that people shouldn’t take other people’s opinions to heart, but also doesn’t mean one opinion is better than the other.
I also want preteen too especially for the Sims 5 because not only will it be something different but make the game more fleshed I don’t think the problem is if they can do but how long it will take them to really flesh out features like season and preteens. I can wait for the Sims 5 if they fully flesh out these features. As years go by more progress comes some I think the games should follow. 🧐😉🙂✌️
With past games other people were buying me those packs because I was a kid/teen... And also I didn't get every pack because of that. With the Sims 4 I spent my own money on almost everything. I am fine with sticking with 4 if I hate 5 though. I really hope with 5 that there's more focus on solid family game play from the start.
In Planet Coaster you can download other people's parks that use DLC you don't have but it won't let you save the game or mess with those items at all. Also the DLC shows up in your game (with options to filter it out) and tells you to buy the pack if you want the item. I really don't like this method tbh... it essentially downloads each DLC to your computer but you have to pay to unlock it. I hope if Sims 5 has multiplayer features that they don't use this method.
Every pack and base game works out to be around $950 aud ($485 gbp), I’ve bought most and I’m not mad, but I don’t think it’s fair to say that’s how much ‘most games’ cost. Just an observation
The only thing I hate about the SIms 4 is that the game and all the expansion packs are still basically full price, so someone like me who hasn't played since Sims 3 can't really jump on the Sims 4 bandwagon without taking out a second mortgage. Oh well... I guess I'll just wait until the Sims 5 comes out in 2025 or whatever.
Same. I just play sims 3 and when I get bored of it I go back to sims 2. I considered buying sims 4 when it came out but everyone said it sucked so i never bothered. Now that it's (apparently) actually playable, it'll cost hundreds of dollars. Honestly, a company expecting you to sink that much money into ANY game is insane and I don't plan on doing it again, especially for sims 4.
Your saying that seasons and pets shouldn’t be included in the base game but your not going to have to pay £70 for both of those packs so...
If seasons and pets are included in base game they're both either going to be half arsed or base game is gonna be crap because they're spending time, money and working harder on those 2 different systems (which have always been included in paid for DLC). Just look at island living. The rest of that pack lacks depth because they had to focus so much on perfecting ocean swimming. I want a sturdy base game, unlike the Sims 4
@@EnglishSimmer so then spend the time and work out the bugs. Spend the time and add depth before pushing out packs. Makes no sense why they can't spend the dang time to do these things right.
@@EnglishSimmer sims 4 was half arsed even with out this in the Base game. And they even missed toddlers and pools. :/
I pay for packs and i dont want seasons or pets in base game. I'd rather they focus in on seasons and pets and flesh them out then get them in base game. Also she might not pay for packs but that doesnt mean you can invalidate her opinion. She's a player too and while she doesnt have to pay for the packs, she does have to wait for them to be released like everyone else so if she would rather the sims team focus on creating a better base game so we can get pets and seasons later on, which would be much more focused on for those packs then it would if they had to cram it in with the base game. If they put seasons and pets in, other aspects of the game will lack depth as a consequence.
EnglishSimmer yeah well maybe they could include like a basic weather system I think and then later release a whole dedicated pack that’s a choice to buy but it’s unfair to people who don’t want to but those packs so they get nothing ,I agree I think the base game should be a stable and good canvas for packs to build upon
I would like to see open world in the sims 5, but upgraded from sims 3. I'd like pre-teens, but done right. I would really like to see height variations, but player controlled. I want 6" tall sims, and 4"11' sims.
3 months old but oh my gosh please, I'm 4 feet and 7 inches, I'd love to be able to make sims my size
I honestly think that the sims 5 will be the last game because I really don’t see them improving any further after that (unless of course ts5 is a bust and they redeem themselves with a sims 6)
O no, no no no no no..
I don't want the game to become online or multiplayer..
I play the sims to ESCAPE from people Dx IF they do this; I'm out..
I think sims 5 online will not have expansion packs. It'll have like once off payment i believe and everything will be updated from time to time. Its the only thing that makes sense
IMO the only thing sims 4 did right was the graphics. The "game" is not a game, its a hamburger with just the bread and you pay up to 40dollars /euro for a slice of soggy cheese
I want it to be an open world too, and have the option of being on-line or single player (hope that is the right name for it). To me Sims 4 sucked, but so has the wait for Sims 5. I am pretty much at the point they can shove the game. I do know for a fact I will not buy it till I find out what I am buying and not be gullible and just jump when it comes out, like I did on Sims 4. I know my opinion is unpopular probably but, it is, what it is...you got yours, and I have mine.
