Key Takeaways

  • EA announced last week that it has no plans for The Sims 5 and will focus efforts on building TS4.
  • Fans were not happy with the decision, declaring The Sims series “dead” while looking at new and upcoming contestants.



Last week, EA announced that The Sims 5 would not be happening. Instead, it would continue to support the decade-old Sims 4 with more expansions and updates, something the community didn't take well. whatever.

“Rest in peace, Sims franchise,” read the top post on the subreddit, announcing the series' death after 24 years. Many of the comments were quick to agree, with one fan suggesting they might look elsewhere to build their life simulator.

“I'll probably be on InZoi and Paralives at one point more than the series I've devoted more than half my life to,” one commenter replied. “They probably won't be too disappointed.”

The Sims franchise is truly dead.


The main reason EA decided not to move forward with The Sims 5 was to avoid a complete reboot, believing that fans would be upset to lose all the progress made in the last decade with all the expansion and stuff, not to mention the money sunk into it. buy them all.

It's a sentiment that some in the community agree with, as seen in another top post, “I'm fine with no Sims 5,” where the poster says “shame on us for getting barebones game” instead of having to “wait for them to rebuild”, but not everyone agrees with that sentiment.


Some fans want to start from a new base

“You don't have to start over, you don't have to buy the new game and no one will come from the old one,” said one answer. “I really don't understand why we can't have both – a new game that people will enjoy [if] they want people who don't want to 'reset' to be able to continue playing Sims 4.”

Another commenter added: “You don't need a restart, you can always play TS4. I played TS3. So if they made TS5 it wouldn't change. It was ten years ago and the game is worse than ever.”

I feel like many players who haven't played other Sims games share this opinion.

Wherever you are, one thing is clear – putting all the attention on The Sims 4 is a controversial activity, which is not surprising if The Sims 4 is one of the more controversial entries. But hey, we can always go back and continue playing TS3, eh?
