You can milk a cow in this paid expansion while EA keeps milking Sims fans

The Sims could be so much more

I thought the thread title just said "cottaging"

I mean, they are becoming so much more with each DLC, so Idk what the hell you're talking about.

Do I think they're milking the franchise? Yeah, absolutely.

But they've been supporting this game for how many years now? I'd say I'd actually commend them for supporting this game for as long as they did because there are legitimately people out there who play nothing but the Sims, and actively play through almost every DLC.

To Hell with some of the prices though, but I guess that's a matter of personal decision on what you think is worth buying.

Has there been any indication of The Sims 5? It's been nearly 7 years since Sims 4 came out.

2000 - The Sims
2004 - The Sims 2
2009 - The Sims 3
2014 - The Sims 4

I’m not sure what more it could ever be. All the games are fun for about a week, then you get sick of how retarded Sims are and start to make your own fun by killing them in creative ways. Sims games are almost like those old IQ tests, the longer you play it for, the dumber you are. The gameplay loop wears itself out in about a week or 2.

It's easier to print money with the new expansions... and take away their content when Sims 5 launches.

Really need an Indy to come along and shake up this franchise. Sims 4 was built in the era of everything is going to be a mobile game and is way too long in the tooth.

but sims has been doing expansions since 2000. so it's not exactly new what they're doing. we all know they make a lot off expansions but the question is why isn't there sims 5.

sims 4 is on expansion #11 (with cottage living) which puts it on par with sims 3 which also had 11 expansions. it seems weird we've not heard anything about sims 5 when there is usually 4-5 years between major releases and it's now been 7 years of sims 4 and if it gets just one more expansion it'll be the sims game with most expansions.
