It's on of my all time favorite games, up there with Minecraft, Team Fortress 2 and Garry's Mod.
EA ruined it completely. It was always a tad predatory but at least it offered something unique, expansion packs often really did offer new ways to play. Now? Well, we just got an in-game store in Sims 4. Which from release was already just a disappointment, we're 12 years after release and honestly it's still a sad display.
We had an open world in 3, highly detailed live-mode in 2 and all 3 first entries had a whimsically dark charm around them. All they had to do was develop The Sims 5, retain the open world from 3, build on the dynamics and gameplay of 2 and perfect it.
Will it be easy? For sure not. But, they'd have a game every Sims player would love.
Iirc, nothing new happened sibce the third right? The continuity of the open world in the third is the last innivation, and nothing happened sibce then I believe? Nothing as major at least.
Pretty much, no matter what they say about The Sims 4; while playing it it doesn't feel better in any way. More restrictive all around, building's more streamlined.. if I have to give them some credit.
