Online-only SimCity suffered major issues and backlash following its launch in 2013, while the infamous The Sims Online was shut down in 2008 (just six years after release) following poor sales and criticism. EA Maxis hasn't had a great history with Sims online. According to a report by SimsVIP, The Sims 4 reportedly began as an online, multiplayer game (codenamed 'The Sims Olympus'), before development shifted to make the title a single-player game. It's something EA Maxis may have initially planned for The Sims 4. What it does sound like The Sims 5 will focus on, though, is social interaction and competition. Sure, a lot of this wouldn't necessarily be in The Sims 5 but it's the possibility that makes a next-gen The Sims so exciting for Simmers like me. Imagine more realistic-looking Sims, with more defined details, faster loading times as you travel between lots, a larger and more limitless world to enjoy - maybe even an entire open-world to explore? How about the ability to actually drive yourself to locations? Or to create your own recipes? Or to follow your Sim children to school? All without mods.

I remember the day when the Sims 4 was released, I dragged my mother's computer up to my bedroom and set it up on my vanity table, where I was ultimately glued for days on end.īut it's not even the boredom of The Sims 4 that has me clamoring for The Sims 5: it's the sheer possibilities.
WHEN IS THE SIMS 4 VAMPIRE PACK GOING TO BE RELEASED SERIES
I want a new The Sims game that takes advantage of the latest gaming hardware (while still being a game that pretty much everyone can run), pushes the series to its limits and has me awestruck. Released seven years ago, The Sims 4 is currently the longest-running game in The Sims series and, as the years have gone on, I've grown increasingly bored of it, despite the release of new content. While I appreciate EA Maxis' continued effort to keep The Sims 4 thriving, I still just want to get my grubby mitts on The Sims 5. So, it makes sense then that EA Maxis is continuing to maintain The Sims 4 in the meantime and wants to continue to improve the game for those who have already spent their hard-earned cash on the base game, kits, game packs and expansions - especially given how important The Sims community is to the game. Unfortunately, it means it's still early days for The Sims 5 and we would be lucky to get our hands on it before 2023 - after all, The Sims 4 was in development for over three years (though when development started exactly isn't clear). But, since then, EA has remained tight-lipped about this next-gen Sims and it seems that - at the time when Wilson revealed this - The Sims 5 was still pretty much in the conceptual phase. It sounds like this next The Sims entry will have a focus on social and online experiences, potentially even working in some elements from The Sims Online (RIP). It's enough to get excited about, even if it doesn't reveal a whole lot. "As Maxis continues to think about The Sims for a new generation – cross-platforms and a cloud of a neighborhood world, you should imagine while we will always stay true to our inspiration, escape, creation, self-improvement, motivations – that this notion of social interactions and competition like the kind of things that were actually present in The Sims Online many many years ago – that they will start to become a part of The Sims experience in the years to come."
