it's literally that simple but they constantly want to reinvent the wheel. the sims 2 and sims 3 were widely beloved for a reason. if they would build off of those games they would have a best seller. no clue who in upper management is making the decision to not do this but they should get fired.
@@Kasiarzynka Literally the EA job ad for "testers" said, "You won't get paid and you have to already own the game". I'm like, so this is why there are so many bugs....
man, couldn't sims 5 just be lore and charme/detail of sims 2, open world, gameplay and lore from sims 3 and graphics, cas and build/buy from sims 4 ? like they know what we want
Exactly. That’s what I said. We literally just want what we had already BACK and expanded upon. But like to take away features we had is a step backwards in the game and makes 0 sense. Like why am I paying for bs kits with things I’ll never use when 10 years later we STILL don’t have fairies? Like a very simple fix…
@@OLALALA1019 It's easier to comprehend when you think what makes a good mobile game. Too much in any mobile game is bad for players, both new and old alike... and the lack of core coding makes it harder for them to code gameplay that functions well, even if they weren't primarily aesthetic coders.
@@tabaxykitten7482 i mean no matter what, theyre going to make you pay for DLC. it doesnt matter if the game is remastered or completely new, if you want to have any fun with the game, youll have to spend money. Id rather they just go back and return to form with sims 3. it was the best iteration of the game with arguably the best DLC. plus, i really miss that open world, with all those lot possibilities. if i remember right, you could create completely new lot spaces in build mode in sims 3. now were stuck with maybe 8 lots in total with these new packs, no ability to add any more, and i cant see it getting any better if they continue down this road
@@autumnwhipps5262 But with a remastered sims 3 you are gone pay again for the same dlc. I don't remember how many dlc the sims 3 has, but its gone cost a lot of money for, what is probebaly a lazy remaster. If they just fix the sims 4 and all the dlc for the game, and maybe give the old dlc a little bit more content once in a while i am happy. I loved the open world but it didn't work that good.
@tabaxykitten7482 never heard of a remaster selling dlc separately. Even EA wouldn't stoop that low. Edit: only game they remastered so far was command and conquer with all dlc included.
Exactly and honestly, i'm fine with the sims 4. I spent way too many hours on it, got too involved with my own storytelling, spent too much time CC shopping and rebuilding every world to my liking just to throw it all away for a brand new game. Maybe it's just me
@@vendyi I'm attached to TS4 too but after the release of Lovestruck and how it broke the game, I just want to move on to a new Sims game with an actual running engine.
I just wish they'd stop with the Project Renee, Dolores, etc, and just confirm whether we're getting TS5 already. It's been like 2 years or something. EA's so determined to milk TS4 and prove that Live Service 10-Year models "work," that they're ruining The Sims' legacy as a franchise. So aggravating.
😂 I look on the plus side though, I've actually done productive things since the Sims is crap now. Meaningful additions to the series are deeply missed though...
I don't mind it being unconfirmed so long as it's actually being designed primarily as a solo PC. Not being worked on as a cross-platform iteration before the main version is done should be the norm for companies - it's not like it's already released and they're adding an installment lol But imo, despite TS4 as a game being a disgrace to the franchise, it's a type of learning curve for EA. The entire fail that is TS4 is from its original intent to be a mobile game. That means weaker/lacking engine, minimal lore, and holding the Simmer's hands. Both Modders who focus on gameplay supplements and Simmers in general are aware this is the cause of why mods can't do much - the game's core coding was never designed for it. And it's lack of gameplay is the main reason for the increase in torrents despite having no competition atm (there's 2 reliable/trustworthy *enough* companies, but they're both too new to expect them to be solid competition on their first round).
Expansion sales take a dive when sequels get announced. Known trend in all of gaming. Paradox Interactive has had this happen quite a few times with games that aren't even sequels, refer to Emperor DLC for EU4 when CK3 was about to release. Call of Duty got around this by selling season passes up front so you get all map packs, even the one that released near the next CoD. And hell it even affects non-DLCs too, with Assassin's Creed Rogue being a rather underplayed mainline game in the AC franchise because it came out with Unity, with Ubisoft underestimating how many people would play a lower end game just because they didn't have a higher end console yet. If Sims 5 was announced, Sims 4 would immediately become less profitable. So they have to use project names and lead you on, otherwise you won't buy Lovestruck.
@@affinityxs I hate the pop ups about packs, that's why I play offline most of the time. And I'm a builder and enjoy creating my own sims, that's why I dont use the gallery that much
Satch the Sims 4 does work offline. You can't use the gallery, but you can play the game completely fine. TONS of people play offline when the game gets buggy and are waiting for an update.
Yeah true and for people playing it « à la Jack Sparrow » 🏴☠️in the versio. I can even have the online feature normally (but I don’t do it, I tried but failed lol and I prefer not to in fact)
3:50 A lay-off is like being fired. But being fired implies that the employee did something to lose their job, while lay-offs happen when a company can't afford/doesn't need an employee and has to let them go. Sort of like the difference between breaking up on bad terms and breaking up on good terms.
its easier to milk a clunky game for 10 years rather than improve the iconic game titles. it drives me crazy everytime i see something new about gta and sims series. what a corrupted and greedy times to be alive amk.
I just want them to at least fix 4 first before trying anything stupid. If they are making The Sims 5, it better be made fresh and not the spaghetti code that is The Sims 4.
I don’t think it’s possible to fix the game at this point… every expansion pack adds more bugs and it’s running on an old base game which was broken and severely lacking on release.
To fix The Sims 4, you'd have to rebuild the whole core engine. Which is to say, make The Sims 5. That's really the only thing that's going to "fix" it.
I honestly feel like the sims 4 is too far gone, every time they try fixing something it just opens up so many more problems and although I won’t be thrilled about giving ea even more of my money with the inevitable packs and content they’ll release, at the same time maybe a new game will be the clean slate they need, assuming that they don’t completely butcher it.
@@StocMontana Aye, that's what I'm afraid of. There's not really much reason to believe that the same EA/Maxis will do any better with a Sims 5. Time will tell, I guess.
They can't even fix TS4's issues, werewolves are bugged to be in constant wolf form, mermaids don't even mermaid, the spa barely functions, the restaurants still don't work.
Did they announce Rene too soon back in 2022? It starts to feel like they made a blunder when they announced it in the first place. Not many studios announce big titles early like this.
Maybe they did it for damage control? Such as, if TS4 disappointed you, just know we *ARE* working on the next version that'll surpass it! (but please play TS4 in the meantime so you help fund it)
@@DeBlauweOlifant Paralives is going to suck even they know it. the trailer even looked more boring then the sims 4 and i didn't know that was possible
I think its going to be that we have The Sims 4 until literally even cas doesnt work anymore. Then Project Renee will be just Sims Metaverse/Online, which it will be the Sims 4 but somehow worse and restricted to living in apartments with other simmers. And it will run alongside The Sims 4 until Project Dolores comes. Then Project Dolores will be The Sims 5 which again will be worse then The Sims 4. I think they're working on Project Dolores/Sims 5 and getting it ready for when The Sims 4 and Project Renee/Sims Online both break past the point where you can even use cas or open them. That's my theory anyways.
Thank you. I had this convo with some friends yesterday. Selective reading is why there is so much gossip and misinformation spread in this world. It quite literally says PS5, why would that impact PC? Love your channel
here’s my theory: sims 4 was intended to be some kind of sims online 2, but because sims city 2013 online features flopped so hard they canceled so2 and turned it into the 4th sims game. (this isn’t anything new, the whole community basically knows sims 4 is project olympus) i feel like there’s 2 ways this could go: project rene IS the sims 5, but they’re gonna have animal crossing/minecraft realms like multiplayer features, with roblox’s robux and player made “cc”. (if you remember them being very interested in capitalizing on cc) i also think they’re gonna do the dlc very differently but honestly in a better way. i.e. they’d have base packs like restaurants base game so other dlc could use it instead of 50 damn food stalls. OR: project rene is them continuing the idea of a sims online 2 (hense why sims 4 is gonna run alongside it) and project dolores will be the sims 5 but MANY MANY MANY years down the line. i’m more inclined to believe the first one but this is just throwing out ideas for conversation
Bring back The Sims 1 and The Sims 2, make it that available for all computer systems, available to download, buy and play them as is it possible with The Sims 3 and 4 currently. Perhaps, The Sims 5 is gonna or could be what most players of The Sims like from all the games and previous expansions. Who knows. But at least, it should be available the options of playing The Sims 5 multiplayer on a on/off option. So, if someone wants to play multiplayer, they can, but those who don't then don't. Or changing between playing multiplayer at times and not at another times. Same for players creations and game use. Give options to use individual Sims, houses etc to on/off play with them on multiplayer option.
We wont ever get sims 2 again, from what i remember the actual like build of the game (so you get unreal right ill use that to make it easier) that “unreal” shut down meaning sims doesnt have access to that software to be able to bring it back in proper ports
@@LianeCarina true its a niche for older simmers i rarely rarely ever see younger ppl playing 1/2 i mean there def is some but no where near the numbers of the ones who actually grew up with it
That's the 3rd game I've considered because everyone seems to make a big deal of it. Actually you just reminded me to go see if my parents have any CD's of the previous games so I can see what it's like. Thanks
When the most popular mods for your games are bug fixes, it tells a lot about the quality of it lol. On a different note: i would be 2000% on board for Spore 2 !!
We want the details of S2, freedom of S3, and CAS of S4. I wish they'd learn that quality over quantity really is a lot better. Skyrim, Minecraft, Mario Kart, RuneScape, Super Mario there's so many examples of long-term payoff when you make a GOOD game rather than whatever tf they're doing.
I'm not sure I'd pick the CAS from 4 over 3's I remember in some ways being excited, but as soon as I actually opened it for myself the first time, I was severely disappointed. Maybe the distinction is to be made between the clothes in 4 and the CAS
It's crazy to think that if EA continued with the 4-5 year gap between games that The Sims 5 would have been released in 2018/2019 and The Sims 6 in 2022/2023, so we literally should be on The Sims 6 now.
@@bonbonvegabon there absolutely is a need for The Sims 5 at the very least - but only so long as they create a game that aligns with what the community wants, which I just don’t feel confident they will do. The Sims 4 has disappointed lifelong fans time and time again from the moment it launched, but I can appreciate that some people do enjoy and love it
Not to be a conspiracy nut on main but I believe they’re desperate to make the sims 5 multiplayer so they can stop mods and consider that hacking so we all have no choice but to pay for doc not just console
@DGTelevsionNetwork GTA didn't start out as mod friendly, The Sims series has always been mod and CC friendly. The Sims 1 had mods and CC. Part of the reason The Sims series has been successful, is because of the friendliness towards both.
Spore used to give me so much joy back in the day... I remember creating different species with my uncle and my cousin in the Creature Creator released ahead of the game itself. They both died since, so I have this random, sweet memory of them both. Will Wright really ate with this one.
You said that you "Can't do mods in online games" in a previous video. But that's wrong. In Farming Sim 22 and American Truck Sim, and Project Zomboid, you can have mods in online servers. Everyone has to download the mod pack before joining the server, however.
I have a theory that Project Rene is going to be 'Sims Forever', a metaverse/online sort of thing (hence, running alongside Sims 4 and not being confirmed at Sims 5) Think about it, in Sims 2, you could play The Sims 3 on a computer, in Sims 3 you could play SimCity, in Sims 4, one of the first games you can play is 'The Sims Forever' On a sidenote, if Project Deloris was something similar to The Sims Stories or The Sims Medieval, that might be cool too
when games are created by true gamers who understand what a player wants, they tend to end better than some company that has been extremely stuck in a 20yo recipe which is the sims 4 issue they are stuck in a redundant recipe.
Maybe get a simtuber over here, or even a modder! These guys just know what we want. I've been wanting to see pre-teens BOOM ItzKatato or whatever their name was, they got hired my Maxis, and now Adeepindigo takes care of that mod. I've also been wanting mental things (specifically neutrodiversity (I can't spell lol)) which MANY modders have already done, but I want the REAL deal!!
in New Zealand, the expansion packs started off at 60 dollars, but after getting a lot of backlash, they changed it to 50. but only for PC, on console, its still at 60 dollars for about half an hour of game play. even on sale the packs are just too expensive for us.
considering how early in development it is, this also could mean they won't make it before the new console generation comes out and they might aswell release it on next gen, though a game like The Sims doesn't strike me as a software that needs a really powerful machine, especially at the beginning, but maybe they're futureproofing it to avoid having to always adapt each new pack (and the game itself) to the current gen systems, especially considering they'd of course have to adapt it to Series S which is about as powerful as a high end PS4/Xbox One and it's the reason why so few games this generation have failed to deliver on the promise of 60FPS as an industry standard.
It’s simply not true that the Series S is simply a high end PS4/Xbox One. In terms of GPU power sure the Series S is roughly equivalent to a PS4 Pro. But in terms of CPU power, which is definitely a more important factor especially in a game like The Sims, the Series S runs rings around them and is basically as power as a Series X in that area but it’s slightly bottlenecked by having less RAM. GPU only really matters for having high resolutions, frame rates and prettier graphics. The actual core game mechanics are relying on the CPU and The Sims has always been a CPU-heavy franchise. Not to say Series S isn’t holding back gaming at all- the weakest machine will always be the weakest link. But it’s really not as massive as people think. Most games that could run on a Series X could also run on Series S, albeit with lower graphics settings and resolution and occasionally lower frame rates- just look at the upcoming GTA6 as an example. If GTA6 can run on a Series S, The Sims 5 can. And if this generation has taught us anything it’s that last gen consoles will continue to get support until halfway through their successors lifecycle so I don’t think they’d hesitate to release The Sims 5 on this gen if it releases before 2028. What’s more likely is that they’re indefinitely pushing back the console release in order to release on PC in the best state.
Honestly I’ve been playing sims since it came out it has encompassed my gaming experience since high school and is a core part of me that said I can’t wait to see it have some competition. I’ve been following paralives since it was just a whisper and I’m excited to get a chance to play it.
after all the money and time ive spent on the sims 4 over the last decade, i cant see myself ever making the move from sims 4 to 5. i dont care for online multiplayer and dont think there's anything else that's big enough to make me want to move. i just hope they dont completely abandon the sims 4 and carry on making better, cheaper and FUNCTIONAL packs as well as doing MAJOR updates on the basegame and existing packs to make the game just a LITTLE bit closer to being worth the $100s that i and many others have paid for it.
I can't be the only one saying this... they need to scrap Project Rene and pump everything they've got into TS4. Fixing bugs and providing more content for the price of packs is the only way they'll keep their fan base longterm.
From a money hungry standpoint sure. In the long term a TS5 game will be done whether you like it or not. TS4 came out unfinished and buggy with trash code. TS5 will hopefully learn through TS4 mistakes and include more things that were in the previous games. TS4 recent expansions help stall for things while they work on TS5. EA will take advantage of TS5 multiplayer and cross play. They’ll probably add some sort of micro-transactions and a new store area to buy expansions and stuff packs.
The only way to truly fix the Sims 4 would be to start over and rebuild. The game was very rushed after they scrapped the multiplayer idea and the base game is broken at its core. There’s only so much they could do, even if they were actually going to try
When I was 10 years old, I really wanted the Sims 4 and I asked my dad whether I could have it. My dad said that maybe I should wait a bit until the Sims 5 came out. But I tried to convince him to get me it and he did. Im glad we didn't wait because im 18 now and its still not out.
I think it could be both. Project Renee was supposed to give us the option of whether or not we want multi-player, maybe one game is multiplayer and the other is for single player.
How it should be is people can still have their own worlds,build their own places and homes but then you can either visit other sims worlds and you know they're your online friends through a special app on the sim phone or just have one big special area for all sims to mingle and you can chose what members in your household will attend. Like events in the city living pack.
@@1uiz idk about "anymore" but it doesn't work well. from my experience the framerate can crap out, the whole client can crash and there's no cool community shite anymore. basically typical old game jank.
@@1uiz I have the disk with no scratches and everything but like it only let's me get about halfway through the creature stage (before they start building civilization) and it just crashes or lags into oblivion. Idk if it's my disk or what but I got to civilization twice and it closed out of the whole program I was so sad.
0:01 I was hoping you'd cover this. I saw another video a few days ago, but that video chalked it up to rumors from third parties or speculation from ex employees.
Honestly, I’ve notice that recently lots of ‘game changers’ have been talking about the spin off sims games (cast away, sims 2 for DS etc.), I wouldn’t be surprised if it was something similar to that…
As much as I have hope for the game, I seriously doubt that it won't just be another EA title. All of them are pay to play cash grabs... They are still a corporation about maximizing profits or you might be replaced as CEO Edit: As a programmer EA has some terrible programmers too, Also PUBG was a mod for DayZ that allowed br like how DayZ was a mod for Arma2
I wish all the dlc could be free. Just something as simple as "I want my sims to go for a summer vacation and stay in a nice home" requires a pack. Like if you want the money fine,but putting prices on the essentials is just bs.
No amount of DLC will ever fix the core game. The whole programm has to be rewritten from scratch, but that is far too costly, so why not make Sims 5 instead?
@@nsbm159the only issue with this is they neglected the sims 3 on fixes or because it couldn’t be fixed and moved on to the sims 4 and the same thing has happened. So why do we think the sims 5 would be any different? Doing the same thing just produces the same results. No?
@@Sayitaintso223 That's not really true the sims 4 is more polished and optimized than the sims 3. The sims 4s problem is you can't make a game that runs on millions of Pcs and not expect to run into any problems. There is a reason why most other game companies focus medium-high end PCs you can't prioritize the lowest common denominator and expect it to run well. This why the sims 4 gets problems with every update because they spend so much time optimizing the update game for people with potato PCs, instead of fixing the bugs.
If they turn Sims into a live service, it WILL fail. Sims 4 and SimCity 2013 was originally meant to be an MMO. Luckily, SimCity was first and flopped completely when it was released so Maxis quickly changed their mind and reverted sims 4 to single player, which is why the game is so bare bones. This happened to the same company that said ‘Single player games are dead’ (EA not Maxis) and it satisfyingly bit the in the ass. I hope Project Renee is live service so the same happens again.
for anyone wondering sims 5 / renee isnt cancelled theres employees on linkedin that still say there working on project renee and also new ones are still getting hired (thats what ive seen from multiple posts with links and proof)
Wouldn't be surprised if they figured out a console version would perform badly. The console version of Cities Skylines 2 just got cancelled for that reason.
They literally just need to remake Sims 2 in a modern light with the cool features from ts3 and graphics from ts4 and they'd be all set. Would that be a challenge? Yeah, no doubt. But after the disaster that is ts4, they need to make a huge leap in a positive direction and listen to what their players actually want. Sims 2 is the favorite for most of us, and a game like that is really all we want 😭
i’d buy a deluxe type remastered game of the sims 2 or 3. All the packs that would be able to run smoothly on modern pcs with improved graphics + art style. A sims 5 though? Probably not as I have no hope after 10 years of never improving the sims 4
I enjoy Spore but man it was such a huge freaking let down. They promised us all of this stuff and dumbed it down sooo much. I waited in line on release day for 4hrs to get Spore. That was my first lesson in not getting hyped for or bothering to pre-order a video game.
I’m super worried about sims 5, online and multiplayer and pay to play would be very disappointing. It’s hard to imagine such a money hungry company would scrap project Renee after sinking multiple years of funding into it.
I play the Sims 4 offline and it works perfectly fine however I will not be buying Sims 5 because of it being online.... Us here in the developing world cannot afford WiFi and data is very expensive so I don't see how we are going to play the Sims 5 and honestly it's sad that people will be left behind because EA only cares about online
If you guys buy aaaall the Add Ons of Sims 4 you will spend about 900-1000!!!! euros. Tells how they Operate. I once loved the sims😢... But i hate that EVERY!! ADD ON COSTS 40!!!!! EUROS. ITS A SHAME. SHAME ON THEM
yes very true its dang criminal to still lock all EP"s behind a paywall since sims 2, but they should have instead removed it and made them all FREE TO DOWNLOAD for everyone. dang disgusting charging insane prices for content. they could have at least reduced price to 5-10 $/€. there are no reason for them to not doing it EA is billion dollar company worst and most greedy scumbag publisher ever. and Take 2 on second place.
I just need a game that's a mix of TS2 and TS3, no online bs nor cheap emotions. Or at least an update for the games so they can work better on newer systems (tho that's only TS3)
Fun Theory: Either Project Rene could be a build mode only app. It would run on your PC and Mobile. And it would work similar to the Spore Creature Creator game, where you build stuff or make sims and then can port them into your Sims 4 game. Thus vastly expanding the things you could do in build mode/CAS and allowing EA to make more money (via a store, battle-pass, etc.). Which I'm sure would be controversial in the fan base, but from a programing standpoint makes a lot of sense. Separating out mechanics make them work better and be more viable. Trying to cram everything into one game, makes for more glitches and higher limitations for comparability reasons.
Sims needs to have a Switch version. If not this gen then at least for Switch 2. I’ve always wanted and I’m sure many players want a sims game on portable that is of the original game and not something that’s another story based on dumbed down version of the game as we’ve seen on the DS Systems.
My theory: Project renee was intended to eventually replace TS4 as an online multiplayer version of the game. But between backlash and logistical issues of how it was running (the fact they’re scrapping it for the ps5 makes me think it’s incredibly broken and making it work on a different engine is not worth the money it’s gunna take) means they’re scaling back. Who knows if project Dolores is the next TS5, but here’s hoping they’ve learned from their mistakes.
While sims 4 is yes playable on the PS5 there isn’t actually a PS5 version available yet so we are still stuck playing a a PS4 version when we could be playing a much beefier version with faster load times.
The sims 5 probably does have an exclusive contract with Microsoft/XBOX, because Microsoft has a really good Gaming Cloud that you can host your games on. So most probably the PC version of The Sims 5 will run on this cloud, such that the game is also available on PC AND phones, and in return EA will only publish the sims 5 only on XBOX.
How about they keep the Sims 4 and just update the sliders, the overall customization and just keep adding more options and packs? Eventually they can update the graphics and style gradually and add better animations in updates over time. They really got to stop shelving and recreating every time.
I truly wish they do a better work on The Sims 5 than they did on The Sims 4. I mean, I LOVE THE SIMS 4, but mostly because of the nostalgics i have with the game. Anyway, I won't put all my expectations into it, cause we are talking about EA Games. I am rooting for the best ;)
Woah, Dragon Age mention jumpscare 😅 I would personally love Dolores to be 5 instead of Renee and the latter be a spin off, and to see Sims get back to its roots. There has been a lack of spin offs for a while now where they used to have so many. EA had a realization recently that single player games DO have a place still, and with the mention of DA- the new game Veilguard in itself won't have ANY online features, after the OG plan was the same as Renee to be completely multiplayer online. So maybe there is a bit of a chance that (gasp) they MIGHT listen for once? 🤞🏻
@@ReaganGGaming0 I would love that, I used the preteen mod for 4 quite a bit, since I prefer to do family households. If nothing else I guarantee modders would have it sorted soon enough 😂
Sick of being forced online for most games, more so single player games. When it comes to sims 5 I don't want forced multiplayer and it better be mod friendly
I've always loved the Sims 3, but hated the store because it was so expensive however those de-crapped store files mayy or may not be easy to find nowadays 🤭
Putting it online feels like an excuse to suppress the custom content community which makes sense bc they should be embarrassed the players of the game made it more playable than they ever could :/
I just wished they would remake Sims 2 with all the new features we have from Sims 3 under 4 and make the artstyle more prettier
yes!!

Yeah no, we all know EA is not gonna cancel development on their next cash cow lol
@@vendyi I'm attached to TS4 too but after the release of Lovestruck and how it broke the game, I just want to move on to a new Sims game with an actual running engine.
I just wish they'd stop with the Project Renee, Dolores, etc, and just confirm whether we're getting TS5 already. It's been like 2 years or something. EA's so determined to milk TS4 and prove that Live Service 10-Year models "work," that they're ruining The Sims' legacy as a franchise. So aggravating.
😂 I look on the plus side though, I've actually done productive things since the Sims is crap now. Meaningful additions to the series are deeply missed though...
I feel like it could work, if EA did it right and patched bugs as they come so they don't snowball and end up making new stuff not work ughh
I don't mind it being unconfirmed so long as it's actually being designed primarily as a solo PC. Not being worked on as a cross-platform iteration before the main version is done should be the norm for companies - it's not like it's already released and they're adding an installment lol
But imo, despite TS4 as a game being a disgrace to the franchise, it's a type of learning curve for EA. The entire fail that is TS4 is from its original intent to be a mobile game. That means weaker/lacking engine, minimal lore, and holding the Simmer's hands. Both Modders who focus on gameplay supplements and Simmers in general are aware this is the cause of why mods can't do much - the game's core coding was never designed for it. And it's lack of gameplay is the main reason for the increase in torrents despite having no competition atm (there's 2 reliable/trustworthy *enough* companies, but they're both too new to expect them to be solid competition on their first round).
Expansion sales take a dive when sequels get announced. Known trend in all of gaming.
Paradox Interactive has had this happen quite a few times with games that aren't even sequels, refer to Emperor DLC for EU4 when CK3 was about to release.
Call of Duty got around this by selling season passes up front so you get all map packs, even the one that released near the next CoD.
And hell it even affects non-DLCs too, with Assassin's Creed Rogue being a rather underplayed mainline game in the AC franchise because it came out with Unity, with Ubisoft underestimating how many people would play a lower end game just because they didn't have a higher end console yet.
If Sims 5 was announced, Sims 4 would immediately become less profitable.
So they have to use project names and lead you on, otherwise you won't buy Lovestruck.
I'm glad we are getting more lifesim games because the sims dominating that genre too long really did hurt it.

I really wanna play offline too but I rely on the gallery too much
@@affinityxs I hate the pop ups about packs, that's why I play offline most of the time. And I'm a builder and enjoy creating my own sims, that's why I dont use the gallery that much

my sims 4 needs the ea app to start up now and the ea app won’t start up without wifi🥲
How do you do thay? I've never been able to launch it without internet.
I think the Lovestruck dating app connected with the gallery is part of a test to know how many players will use new online features...
Satch the Sims 4 does work offline. You can't use the gallery, but you can play the game completely fine. TONS of people play offline when the game gets buggy and are waiting for an update.
Yeah true and for people playing it « à la Jack Sparrow » 🏴☠️in the versio. I can even have the online feature normally (but I don’t do it, I tried but failed lol and I prefer not to in fact)
3:50 A lay-off is like being fired. But being fired implies that the employee did something to lose their job, while lay-offs happen when a company can't afford/doesn't need an employee and has to let them go. Sort of like the difference between breaking up on bad terms and breaking up on good terms.
its easier to milk a clunky game for 10 years rather than improve the iconic game titles.
it drives me crazy everytime i see something new about gta and sims series.
what a corrupted and greedy times to be alive amk.
Hey, don't ever compare the two, GTA is atleast good AND functional, and can still be fun without DLC 😂.
Yeah, Sims is way more like modern CoD. Cause the developers don't wanna make it even
@@moonstone4832 rockstar has milked GTA V completely dry though. same with how EA treats sims instead of just giving fans something new
I just want them to at least fix 4 first before trying anything stupid. If they are making The Sims 5, it better be made fresh and not the spaghetti code that is The Sims 4.
I don’t think it’s possible to fix the game at this point… every expansion pack adds more bugs and it’s running on an old base game which was broken and severely lacking on release.
To fix The Sims 4, you'd have to rebuild the whole core engine. Which is to say, make The Sims 5. That's really the only thing that's going to "fix" it.
I honestly feel like the sims 4 is too far gone, every time they try fixing something it just opens up so many more problems and although I won’t be thrilled about giving ea even more of my money with the inevitable packs and content they’ll release, at the same time maybe a new game will be the clean slate they need, assuming that they don’t completely butcher it.
They won't fix sims 4 they rather keep bringing out packs with bugs and glitches sims 4 is destroyed and Sims 5 will probably be the same way broken
@@StocMontana Aye, that's what I'm afraid of. There's not really much reason to believe that the same EA/Maxis will do any better with a Sims 5. Time will tell, I guess.
They can't even fix TS4's issues, werewolves are bugged to be in constant wolf form, mermaids don't even mermaid, the spa barely functions, the restaurants still don't work.
Did they announce Rene too soon back in 2022? It starts to feel like they made a blunder when they announced it in the first place. Not many studios announce big titles early like this.
Maybe they did it for damage control?
Such as, if TS4 disappointed you, just know we *ARE* working on the next version that'll surpass it! (but please play TS4 in the meantime so you help fund it)
They saw Paralives and got nervous
@@DeBlauweOlifant Paralives is going to suck even they know it. the trailer even looked more boring then the sims 4 and i didn't know that was possible
I think its going to be that we have The Sims 4 until literally even cas doesnt work anymore. Then Project Renee will be just Sims Metaverse/Online, which it will be the Sims 4 but somehow worse and restricted to living in apartments with other simmers. And it will run alongside The Sims 4 until Project Dolores comes. Then Project Dolores will be The Sims 5 which again will be worse then The Sims 4. I think they're working on Project Dolores/Sims 5 and getting it ready for when The Sims 4 and Project Renee/Sims Online both break past the point where you can even use cas or open them. That's my theory anyways.
Thank you. I had this convo with some friends yesterday. Selective reading is why there is so much gossip and misinformation spread in this world. It quite literally says PS5, why would that impact PC? Love your channel
here’s my theory:
sims 4 was intended to be some kind of sims online 2, but because sims city 2013 online features flopped so hard they canceled so2 and turned it into the 4th sims game. (this isn’t anything new, the whole community basically knows sims 4 is project olympus)
i feel like there’s 2 ways this could go:
project rene IS the sims 5, but they’re gonna have animal crossing/minecraft realms like multiplayer features, with roblox’s robux and player made “cc”. (if you remember them being very interested in capitalizing on cc) i also think they’re gonna do the dlc very differently but honestly in a better way. i.e. they’d have base packs like restaurants base game so other dlc could use it instead of 50 damn food stalls.
OR:
project rene is them continuing the idea of a sims online 2 (hense why sims 4 is gonna run alongside it) and project dolores will be the sims 5 but MANY MANY MANY years down the line.
i’m more inclined to believe the first one but this is just throwing out ideas for conversation
Bring back The Sims 1 and The Sims 2, make it that available for all computer systems, available to download, buy and play them as is it possible with The Sims 3 and 4 currently. Perhaps, The Sims 5 is gonna or could be what most players of The Sims like from all the games and previous expansions. Who knows. But at least, it should be available the options of playing The Sims 5 multiplayer on a on/off option. So, if someone wants to play multiplayer, they can, but those who don't then don't. Or changing between playing multiplayer at times and not at another times. Same for players creations and game use. Give options to use individual Sims, houses etc to on/off play with them on multiplayer option.
We wont ever get sims 2 again, from what i remember the actual like build of the game (so you get unreal right ill use that to make it easier) that “unreal” shut down meaning sims doesnt have access to that software to be able to bring it back in proper ports

The Sims 4 team really need a strong competitor.
Maybe they will start developing full games instead of "10% features 90% marketing" EPs.
When the most popular mods for your games are bug fixes, it tells a lot about the quality of it lol.
On a different note: i would be 2000% on board for Spore 2 !!
We want the details of S2, freedom of S3, and CAS of S4. I wish they'd learn that quality over quantity really is a lot better. Skyrim, Minecraft, Mario Kart, RuneScape, Super Mario there's so many examples of long-term payoff when you make a GOOD game rather than whatever tf they're doing.
I'm not sure I'd pick the CAS from 4 over 3's I remember in some ways being excited, but as soon as I actually opened it for myself the first time, I was severely disappointed.
Maybe the distinction is to be made between the clothes in 4 and the CAS
It's crazy to think that if EA continued with the 4-5 year gap between games that The Sims 5 would have been released in 2018/2019 and The Sims 6 in 2022/2023, so we literally should be on The Sims 6 now.
Theres no need for Sims 5 and 6. There's so much to do in sims 4 and Im not done with it yet
@@bonbonvegabon SIMS 4 is garbage :(
@@bonbonvegabon there absolutely is a need for The Sims 5 at the very least - but only so long as they create a game that aligns with what the community wants, which I just don’t feel confident they will do. The Sims 4 has disappointed lifelong fans time and time again from the moment it launched, but I can appreciate that some people do enjoy and love it
I don't mind if it is. This game series has gone from sandbox to authoritarian.
Not to be a conspiracy nut on main but I believe they’re desperate to make the sims 5 multiplayer so they can stop mods and consider that hacking so we all have no choice but to pay for doc not just console
Lots of other online, multiplayer games have mods though.
Mods and CC have been a thing since The Sims 1. Killing them, would be like the Titanic hitting the iceberg.
@@thesimslover82884If rockstar had the stupidity to do it with their GTA franchise, what makes you think that EA would not also do the same?
@DGTelevsionNetwork GTA didn't start out as mod friendly, The Sims series has always been mod and CC friendly. The Sims 1 had mods and CC. Part of the reason The Sims series has been successful, is because of the friendliness towards both.
Spore used to give me so much joy back in the day... I remember creating different species with my uncle and my cousin in the Creature Creator released ahead of the game itself. They both died since, so I have this random, sweet memory of them both. Will Wright really ate with this one.
How sweet! This comment somehow touched me so much. May they rest in peace.
You said that you "Can't do mods in online games" in a previous video. But that's wrong. In Farming Sim 22 and American Truck Sim, and Project Zomboid, you can have mods in online servers. Everyone has to download the mod pack before joining the server, however.
Same with Stardew Valley for the co-op farm!
Notice how those games don't have greedy EA share holders breathing down their necks.
in paradox games like EU4 you can as well but it's clunky
Minecraft is probably the biggest example of that, too.
Conan Exiles, 7 Days to Die. There's lots of multiplayer games with mods and various mod systems (steam workshop, etc)
I have a theory that Project Rene is going to be 'Sims Forever', a metaverse/online sort of thing (hence, running alongside Sims 4 and not being confirmed at Sims 5) Think about it, in Sims 2, you could play The Sims 3 on a computer, in Sims 3 you could play SimCity, in Sims 4, one of the first games you can play is 'The Sims Forever'
On a sidenote, if Project Deloris was something similar to The Sims Stories or The Sims Medieval, that might be cool too
when games are created by true gamers who understand what a player wants, they tend to end better than some company that has been extremely stuck in a 20yo recipe which is the sims 4 issue they are stuck in a redundant recipe.
Maybe get a simtuber over here, or even a modder! These guys just know what we want. I've been wanting to see pre-teens BOOM ItzKatato or whatever their name was, they got hired my Maxis, and now Adeepindigo takes care of that mod. I've also been wanting mental things (specifically neutrodiversity (I can't spell lol)) which MANY modders have already done, but I want the REAL deal!!
People want a Sims 2 remake, but you KNOW for a fact that EA WILL fuck it up with their greed
in New Zealand, the expansion packs started off at 60 dollars, but after getting a lot of backlash, they changed it to 50. but only for PC, on console, its still at 60 dollars for about half an hour of game play. even on sale the packs are just too expensive for us.
6:32 this hasn’t been my experience. usually if i’m not connected, i just can’t access the gallery.
considering how early in development it is, this also could mean they won't make it before the new console generation comes out and they might aswell release it on next gen, though a game like The Sims doesn't strike me as a software that needs a really powerful machine, especially at the beginning, but maybe they're futureproofing it to avoid having to always adapt each new pack (and the game itself) to the current gen systems, especially considering they'd of course have to adapt it to Series S which is about as powerful as a high end PS4/Xbox One and it's the reason why so few games this generation have failed to deliver on the promise of 60FPS as an industry standard.
It’s simply not true that the Series S is simply a high end PS4/Xbox One. In terms of GPU power sure the Series S is roughly equivalent to a PS4 Pro. But in terms of CPU power, which is definitely a more important factor especially in a game like The Sims, the Series S runs rings around them and is basically as power as a Series X in that area but it’s slightly bottlenecked by having less RAM. GPU only really matters for having high resolutions, frame rates and prettier graphics. The actual core game mechanics are relying on the CPU and The Sims has always been a CPU-heavy franchise.
Not to say Series S isn’t holding back gaming at all- the weakest machine will always be the weakest link. But it’s really not as massive as people think. Most games that could run on a Series X could also run on Series S, albeit with lower graphics settings and resolution and occasionally lower frame rates- just look at the upcoming GTA6 as an example. If GTA6 can run on a Series S, The Sims 5 can. And if this generation has taught us anything it’s that last gen consoles will continue to get support until halfway through their successors lifecycle so I don’t think they’d hesitate to release The Sims 5 on this gen if it releases before 2028. What’s more likely is that they’re indefinitely pushing back the console release in order to release on PC in the best state.
Honestly I’ve been playing sims since it came out it has encompassed my gaming experience since high school and is a core part of me that said I can’t wait to see it have some competition. I’ve been following paralives since it was just a whisper and I’m excited to get a chance to play it.
after all the money and time ive spent on the sims 4 over the last decade, i cant see myself ever making the move from sims 4 to 5. i dont care for online multiplayer and dont think there's anything else that's big enough to make me want to move. i just hope they dont completely abandon the sims 4 and carry on making better, cheaper and FUNCTIONAL packs as well as doing MAJOR updates on the basegame and existing packs to make the game just a LITTLE bit closer to being worth the $100s that i and many others have paid for it.
I can't be the only one saying this... they need to scrap Project Rene and pump everything they've got into TS4. Fixing bugs and providing more content for the price of packs is the only way they'll keep their fan base longterm.
From a money hungry standpoint sure. In the long term a TS5 game will be done whether you like it or not. TS4 came out unfinished and buggy with trash code. TS5 will hopefully learn through TS4 mistakes and include more things that were in the previous games. TS4 recent expansions help stall for things while they work on TS5.
EA will take advantage of TS5 multiplayer and cross play. They’ll probably add some sort of micro-transactions and a new store area to buy expansions and stuff packs.
The only way to truly fix the Sims 4 would be to start over and rebuild. The game was very rushed after they scrapped the multiplayer idea and the base game is broken at its core. There’s only so much they could do, even if they were actually going to try
When I was 10 years old, I really wanted the Sims 4 and I asked my dad whether I could have it. My dad said that maybe I should wait a bit until the Sims 5 came out. But I tried to convince him to get me it and he did. Im glad we didn't wait because im 18 now and its still not out.
I think it could be both. Project Renee was supposed to give us the option of whether or not we want multi-player, maybe one game is multiplayer and the other is for single player.
How it should be is people can still have their own worlds,build their own places and homes but then you can either visit other sims worlds and you know they're your online friends through a special app on the sim phone or just have one big special area for all sims to mingle and you can chose what members in your household will attend. Like events in the city living pack.

@@Sayitaintso223 That's not really true the sims 4 is more polished and optimized than the sims 3. The sims 4s problem is you can't make a game that runs on millions of Pcs and not expect to run into any problems. There is a reason why most other game companies focus medium-high end PCs you can't prioritize the lowest common denominator and expect it to run well. This why the sims 4 gets problems with every update because they spend so much time optimizing the update game for people with potato PCs, instead of fixing the bugs.
The show must go on
Here's to hoping that Project Delores is a new Spore game 😭
If they turn Sims into a live service, it WILL fail. Sims 4 and SimCity 2013 was originally meant to be an MMO. Luckily, SimCity was first and flopped completely when it was released so Maxis quickly changed their mind and reverted sims 4 to single player, which is why the game is so bare bones. This happened to the same company that said ‘Single player games are dead’ (EA not Maxis) and it satisfyingly bit the in the ass. I hope Project Renee is live service so the same happens again.

I am insisting on demanding for a Sims 2 remake
After buying every sims game for my entire life, i am definitely going to buy Paralives next.
I want an updated version of sims 3 or add more sims 3 features to sims 4 🤷🏻♀️
Wouldn't be surprised if they figured out a console version would perform badly. The console version of Cities Skylines 2 just got cancelled for that reason.
These projects releasing “alongside” the sims 4 gives me a bad feeling
They literally just need to remake Sims 2 in a modern light with the cool features from ts3 and graphics from ts4 and they'd be all set. Would that be a challenge? Yeah, no doubt. But after the disaster that is ts4, they need to make a huge leap in a positive direction and listen to what their players actually want. Sims 2 is the favorite for most of us, and a game like that is really all we want 😭
I had no faith in Sims 5. They need actual game designers like Will Wright back on the job.
i’d buy a deluxe type remastered game of the sims 2 or 3. All the packs that would be able to run smoothly on modern pcs with improved graphics + art style. A sims 5 though? Probably not as I have no hope after 10 years of never improving the sims 4
I enjoy Spore but man it was such a huge freaking let down. They promised us all of this stuff and dumbed it down sooo much. I waited in line on release day for 4hrs to get Spore. That was my first lesson in not getting hyped for or bothering to pre-order a video game.
With all the modders and CC creators, they’re basically doing the work for maxis and EA at this point if they do cancel sims 5 😂

I just need a game that's a mix of TS2 and TS3, no online bs nor cheap emotions. Or at least an update for the games so they can work better on newer systems (tho that's only TS3)
Fun Theory: Either Project Rene could be a build mode only app. It would run on your PC and Mobile. And it would work similar to the Spore Creature Creator game, where you build stuff or make sims and then can port them into your Sims 4 game. Thus vastly expanding the things you could do in build mode/CAS and allowing EA to make more money (via a store, battle-pass, etc.). Which I'm sure would be controversial in the fan base, but from a programing standpoint makes a lot of sense. Separating out mechanics make them work better and be more viable. Trying to cram everything into one game, makes for more glitches and higher limitations for comparability reasons.
I hope they're scraping everything, to remaster Sims 3.
That other life sim you were mentioning, is Life By You, and was unfortunately cancelled right before early access. :((((
Sims needs to have a Switch version. If not this gen then at least for Switch 2. I’ve always wanted and I’m sure many players want a sims game on portable that is of the original game and not something that’s another story based on dumbed down version of the game as we’ve seen on the DS Systems.
My theory: Project renee was intended to eventually replace TS4 as an online multiplayer version of the game. But between backlash and logistical issues of how it was running (the fact they’re scrapping it for the ps5 makes me think it’s incredibly broken and making it work on a different engine is not worth the money it’s gunna take) means they’re scaling back. Who knows if project Dolores is the next TS5, but here’s hoping they’ve learned from their mistakes.

Idk who can't play sims 4 offline, but I do it every time there's an update I'm not ready for and it works fine. And I have tons of mods and cc.
The Sims 5 coming out is no longer important to me. I just want The Sims 4 to die.
Well, EA is known as a low pay high stress environment, and I'm sure the Maxis division is no exception. That causes high turnover rates.
The sims 5 probably does have an exclusive contract with Microsoft/XBOX, because Microsoft has a really good Gaming Cloud that you can host your games on. So most probably the PC version of The Sims 5 will run on this cloud, such that the game is also available on PC AND phones, and in return EA will only publish the sims 5 only on XBOX.
GTA 5 Not only will come out before Sims 5, it came out before Sims 4 on September 17, 2013. Misspeak!

How about they keep the Sims 4 and just update the sliders, the overall customization and just keep adding more options and packs? Eventually they can update the graphics and style gradually and add better animations in updates over time. They really got to stop shelving and recreating every time.
For the amount of time we’ve been waiting, sims 5 better have the same graphics as gta 5
I truly wish they do a better work on The Sims 5 than they did on The Sims 4. I mean, I LOVE THE SIMS 4, but mostly because of the nostalgics i have with the game. Anyway, I won't put all my expectations into it, cause we are talking about EA Games. I am rooting for the best ;)
Woah, Dragon Age mention jumpscare 😅 I would personally love Dolores to be 5 instead of Renee and the latter be a spin off, and to see Sims get back to its roots. There has been a lack of spin offs for a while now where they used to have so many. EA had a realization recently that single player games DO have a place still, and with the mention of DA- the new game Veilguard in itself won't have ANY online features, after the OG plan was the same as Renee to be completely multiplayer online. So maybe there is a bit of a chance that (gasp) they MIGHT listen for once? 🤞🏻
If so, we need pre-teens, popular opinion, I don't see why people WOULDN'T want it
@@ReaganGGaming0 I would love that, I used the preteen mod for 4 quite a bit, since I prefer to do family households. If nothing else I guarantee modders would have it sorted soon enough 😂
Sick of being forced online for most games, more so single player games. When it comes to sims 5 I don't want forced multiplayer and it better be mod friendly
I've always loved the Sims 3, but hated the store because it was so expensive
however those de-crapped store files mayy or may not be easy to find nowadays 🤭
Putting it online feels like an excuse to suppress the custom content community which makes sense bc they should be embarrassed the players of the game made it more playable than they ever could :/
