MODERATORS
Look forward to it, worst comes to worst, two new options for the sims, with this and paralives is two chances to not fail like sims 3 and 4 did. And I don't mean fail in a financial sense, I'm sure they made money. But failed in a "worth playing" sense.
I remember playing lots of sims 2 as a kid. Could not play sims 3 due to not having a pc that could run it, and I found sims 4 extremely disappointing.
Been keeping an eye on Life by You and Paralives for modern takes at the genre.
I wonder if EA will try to innovate with sims 5 and if they’ll try to optimize the unbelievable loading times (talking about sims 4 here) due to the competition or if they hope to coast on reputation alone.
