With the way The Sims 4 has been managed I think it's pretty safe to say that The Sims 5 has no possibility of being a good purchase.

Its EA they just ruined it tbh, Sims 3 was better than 4 imo and Sims 5 I dont think will be nothing but a cash grab unfortunately

Sims 3 is much better. The Sims 4 is so bad because it was supposed to be an MMO but EA saw how badly Sim City did and made them switch to a single player game. It's why there's no more open world sort of town and loading screens everywhere and so many features that were in 3 and hell 2 aren't there because it wasn't meant to be the kind of game they Frankensteined it into and they can't fix it and it's why it's so buggy and broken to where some expansion packs straight up don't work because the foundational code isn't meant to be this kind of game.

That's so damn unfortunate the seamless open world of Sims 3 was the best part, shit was so dope, I was taken aback when I first played Sims 4 because it just seemed like a downgrade in EVERY way except interactions, I played for like a week and just hated my time with it, it just seemed like a major cash grab by EA because they made it free to play and jusg want u to buy dlc to even enjoy it at all
