There's been a whole lot of talk lately about the future of this beloved game. There's been layoffs! Crappy packs released! No information at all! Too, too quiet! WTF is going on!?!?!?!?
I have no answers. If I did I'd probably be getting free stuff and the Sim Gurus would know me. But I digress.
Yes, things have been quiet. There has been some house cleaning so to speak. And that last pack...well, the less said the better. But right now they don't have a community manager to relay information and they did just put up a bunch of job listings for The Sims 4 and other projects so this franchise is not dead yet. I still have hopes things will be released in a timely manner. There is still quite a bit to go with this version. Like Seasons and University, which I'm sure will come.
Now about Sims 5...I don't think there will be one anytime soon. I think many long time simmers (like me) are slightly burnt out on the series and who knows about new players. But ya know I have no information about any of this and it's just my random musings.
What I would like to see is a stand alone Sims title on PC. Sims 2 had the Stories games and Sims 3 had Medieval. It probably wouldn't be well received by the public but personally I like having a title that doesn't fit the typical Sims playing mold. Some of my favorite titles were on the PS2, The Urbz and Sims Castaway. And I did like Medieval. They were nice distractions that were familiar but just different enough to be new.
I think what I would really like to see is a full on World Adventures/Jungle Adventure type game. Which I suppose would be like Castaway. Something more mission based but you can ignore it if you want. I love what they added with the jobs the objectives. I tend to sometimes just watch my game and direct them if they need something. But I do find myself paying more attention when they have stuff to do.
But my big wish is to see a relaunch of Sim Copter. There is definitely a hole in the simming market for one. I just keep throwing it out into the universe and hopefully it get heard.
"Sim Copter 1, reporting heavy traffic!"
I mean there's already a helicopter in Sims 4. I'd love to be able to fly around all those parts of the worlds we can't actually play. Traffic jams! Protesters! People falling into the water! Fun, fun, fun! All that with the graphics of Sims 4. Winner, winner chicken dinner!
And with that I sign off. Always keep on dreaming!
Go 4th and Sim!
