>>370365I'm hoping that actual life simulation part of the game is going to be good given that it's lead developer is Rod Humble who played a crucial role in TS2 and TS3. He also worked on Second Life. Even if the game looks worse than TS3, we already know that the game is going to support custom content so it should be fixable with mods.
>>370441If EA wants a Sims branded Second Life clone, they should just fucking make it while leaving the single player main line sims games alone. I've never understood the obsession with turning the sims into a MMO. They tried it with TSO and it failed, they were going to do it with TS4 and then backed out with a year until release. The Sims is one of the best selling and most profitable games of all time, I don't get why they would risk screwing that up.

Apologies if this has been shared before, but I couldn't find any mention of this ITT, but a few months ago Grant Rodiek stepped down as Sims creative director. Grant had always been known as somewhat of a snotnosed little fag amongst many simmers (lest we forget the reasoning behind no dog houses in the sims 4: IT'S ANIMAL ABOOSE!!!), so I can imagine that this is a breath of fresh air for many simmers.
On the note of sims 5, the creative director is now Gina Herrle. I'm not trying to be misogynistic, but statistically speaking, bringing on a woman to replace a man in a higher up position within a company is usually bad news. Companies bring on a woman to take the heat for failed projects and products while the men who instigated the downfall in the first place are safe from public scrutiny having already retired or stepped down beforehand.
We all know now that the development of Olympus was an utter shitshow calamity which resulted in a game with relatively ancient-ass code being put forth as something much fresher than what it was. Then those old bones were beaten and taped and glued a trillion times over in the ten years of its active life. Sims 4 was not, and is not, a good game, gameplay wise and also technically speaking (compared to previous sims games). Something tells me Grant Rodiek has seen what is on the horizon for the franchise and it was finally enough to push him to officially dip.
I have a really bad feeling about Sims 5. It's going to be another SimCity. The sims franchise is effectively dying off as we speak.
