Default EA Play: "The Sims" is particating this (2018) early summer
Let's speculate what it could be. Seasons? New Spin-off? TS5?

They'll most likely announce Seasons, considering the recent mini-leaks, the answered Seasons-related question by a Guru and the item description for one of the new hidden unused wallpapers that was present in the most recent patch. A Spin-Off is highly improbable, they just launched that (horrible) Sims Mobile game, I doubt any more spin-off type Sims games are in the cards. (at least not any time soon) As for the Sims 5...eh I don't think so, maybe next year honestly...

TS4 on Nintendo switch would be fucking sweet (at a reasonable price).

I wonder what The Sims 4 Season will bring out. Spooky Stuff Pack was released so what the autumn will be like? Will rolling skate and snowboard make a return or will they only be reserved for stuff packs? Will there be a new world? Hmmmm...

I'd rank it, from most to least probable:

Sims 4 Seasons
Some other Sims 4 EP - possibly University? But the Big 2 EPs in any incarnations of Sims are Seasons and Pets, and we've already had Pets.
Sims 5

Perhaps some new online features from the scrapped Olympus Project? Something like TS3 Simport?

It's definitely it seasons. I'm highly speculating that TS5 will be at E3

I really hope there is info. soon about and if regarding 5. And if 5 comes out I hope they look forward instead of backwards next time. Figure out a good mix of the best features of 2 and 3 and I would be a happy camper. Not cater to the 12s and the lowest end computers. I have made it to all the jungle locations and am bored with 4 again and back working in CAW again. I want a game that holds my interest again.

I am not expecting a TS5, or at least not without a gap of some years before they come back to it.

It's specifically Sims 4. I dont expect news of sims 5 in about 2 years minimum.



If it were about sims 5 I think they would not specify it being the 4th installment but would mention it like the name of the franchise. "The Sims" only.

So yeah, either seasons, or some kind of... apology? I would never, EVER expect the latter tho.
But at least some form of communication improvement? Meh. It was too long since anything changed, and only progressively got worse, so my hopes are low. Still existent tho.

Season most likely going to be the next Expansion and probably going to talk about at the EA Play in June. There's hits and speculation about it.

It is specified (according to from what I gather from sims VIP) that they're bringing new experience to TS4, so the next sequel game is out of the question.

It doesn't really matter anyway in the end, they haven't managed to make a good sequel to Sims 2 until now, so why would Sims 5 be any different?

What I'm really wondering is why they say it's a "new experience" if people are speculating another Seasons/Weather themed expansion. I genuinely hope they do announce Seasons, but why would they call it a "new experience" if we've had Seasons/Weather in the past? Unless they plan to put a twist on this kind of expansion or something. Could it be an entirely new theme for a new expansion all together? I just hope they don't disappoint with whatever they do bring out, considering they're hyping it up so much.

New experience as in TS4 only.

New TS4 experience?

Improved sims?

Open world?

CAST?

Or just plain 'new' half assed EP?

I think a lot of us would be incredibly happy if it became open world but I think that'd be too much work for the development team. But who knows?

TBH I place CaSt as a priority slightly above open world, but maybe that's just me. It's mildly game breaking especially since this team seems to not understand how colours work :\

If I want something to come in green that neither means lime, nor babyshit. Just like burgundy is not red, turquoise is not blue, and if I have to look at bright magenta instead of a pale lavender one more time I'm going to stab my fucking eyes out.

I bet it's nothing groundbreaking....that's for sure. Just what other consoles people can play the game on and have access to the exchange and shit like that. OH yeah and that this version of the Sims is never going to end and we are all screwed.

Que Dream music:
***Dear Paradox, Colossal Order, and Frontier Gods of gaming, Please please please make all our dreams come true and bless us all with a Sandbox Sims Like Life Simulator game that will have a Finished Fully Loaded base game with pets, weather, supernaturals, tons and tons of building, landscaping and color tools to choose from. Please give us a main menu to check off the features we want and don't want in our game playing experience along with it being graphically fantastical and work with new OS systems. We promise to be good boys and girls, we will pre-order and jump for joy when EA get's kicked to the curb along with their half assed game development team and scummy business practices.... We love you... Peace out!******

Oh shit... Did I say that out loud??? I must be drunk.

I agree with everything in your dream except supernaturals. As much as I love them I understand other people not wanting to pay for something that significant they're never going to use. It something that should -- understandably so -- come in it's own DLC

Also I think it's asking a bit much from a base game

Then again, it is called a "dream" and not a "reasonable compromise" for a reason. Carry on.

That's why I was thinking of a menu that peeps could just check off what they did and didn't want... kinda like what TS3 did after that supernatural EP came out. That was kinda a nice touch. But yes... it's a dream... it was out loud...but yes a dream.

The game looks soooooo coool in my dream.

From statements by gurus, I get the impression that open world is flatly impossible for Sims 4, because of the overall design of the game.
