Sims 5 is dead. Now what? The Sims 4: 10 Years of Meh

Rambling about the current state of The Sims 4 after having just passed the ten year anniversary of the game's release. Also the future of the series now that The Sims 5 is confirmed as no longer happening. Eh. Meh. Bleh. Whatever.

I can imagine EA eventually rebranding the game from "The Sims 4" to just "The Sims".

I find it hilarious that EA is saying that they're going to keep Sims 4 running so players don't have to "start over again" or whatever, but then they'll quite happily re-release the same football game every year with minor changes and a different roster for full price + microtransactions... Really just boils down to minimizing the amount of work and maximising the profits.

I just wish EA would re-release The Sims 3 (remastered if you will) and made it so it’s 64 bit instead of 32. TS3 was so ambitious for its time, but now technology has caught up to the demand of that game. It would be amazing if we could play a better optimized version

Goddammit, really sorry to hear about the damage to your house following the hurricane. 😞
This will likely be the last LGR video for quite a while but at least you and your family are safe. Things can be replaced, homes rebuilt but still you're definitely one of the good ones out there and it just super sucks this happened, and so close to the holidays too.
Take care dude and stay safe!

You know what's funny? In the past, developers who worked on the game played previous entries growing up. Now developers of Sims 4 potentially played Sims 4 growing up

[NopWorks]

I'm sure EA deliberately ignored Sims 4's 10 years anniversary precisely to avoid reminding people that they've been taking the whole franchise for a nosedive, as they plan to make this last longer than Sims 1, 2, and 3 combined.

[mikaschumacher]

honestly comparing your Sims 3 videos to your Sims 4 you can see the enthusiasm for the series slowly die out and be replaced with just boredom and almost a contempt. And like when they lose someone so dedicated to the series it’s a huge warning sign they’re ignoring.

[NONOOBZEVR]

I'm glad you and your family are safe. Really sorry to hear about the house and the collection.

Watch EA losing the entire Sims market to another upstart publisher/developer, like they did with sim city. I already see the first signs of this happening.

[nedify]

The fact that the game launched without toddlers is baffling.

Sims 4: 10 years of meh

Sims 2: 20 years of being awesome

[COOLFRIEND]

Sorry to hear about your home and community. Absolutely heartbreaking loss. Stay safe, friend. Brighter days will come.

[onlywithbuts]

"Sims 4 Ever " is absolutely genius and true.

[schemax]

"Resetting progress" is part of the fun. Starting fresh, especially if there is a whole new game to explore is one the best things about playing games.

[meinalteregon]

Not me thinking "Alright, this game sucks, I'll just sit this one out and wait for the next one" 10 YEARS AGO NOW.... It just feels like such a slap in the face. But honestly I can't even blame EA, I just don't understand how so many people invest soooo much money in this meh game.

[JurassicDavidy]

You took the words out of my mouth when you mentioned The Sims 2 having heart and soul. It's not just blind nostalgia, even today when I go back to that game it just makes me feel so immersed and happy.

[scincidae]

"Endless band-aids" sums up sims 4 pretty well tbh. They're just gonna keep adding to it and charging money until it collapses under its' own spaghetti code lmao.

[jackaryyy]

The palette in Sims 3 was the best feature they didnt bring back.

"Cool fridge, I just wish the metal trim was brass not chrome"
You can just do that

[ayasekaru]

Calling it now: They're going to make it a subscription service. All that company speech sounds to me like it's headed towards that.

[capitalj]

Sorry to hear about your home wishing you the best bud
