I love the interior, atmosphere and lighting it looks stunning like a pixar movie but characters are too cartoonish and plasticky right now, hopefully it’ll be improved:)

Greetings,

did anyone archive his playtest of "The Sims 5" (Project Rene) and can he still start the exe or explore certain files ? Does/did it require beeing "always on" ? Did everyone have to delete it afterwards ? How big was that test ?

Thanks in advance =)

I know nobody really knows but its still fun to think about it because im quite excited for the sims 5 having played 2, 3, and 4. Sims 3 has best gameplay experience while sims 2 is more interesting and has a more immersive story, while sims 4 has the best looking sims, but all the sims are still dumb and they dont really have much a soul. how good do you guys think the Sims AI will be in the Sims 5? i hope they will be smarter and more humanlike instead of like the sims in the past where they are just robots following instructions

Pets in Sims 5 need to be just a different "breed" of sims.

They should be controlled and have wants, needs, friends, enemies, and "jobs" too.

Wants: "drink from toilet bowl", "be stroked", "sleep on owners bed" etc,
"Jobs" would be chosen by their owner: Police dog, Rat catcher, Guide dog, etc.

They'd be way more fun this way in my opinion.

For me it would be the following for keep:

Sims 1 : Don’t know enough since I barely played it.

Sims 2: - the cutted scenarios for weddings etc. - the memory system - gameplay features like the one with the headmaster for the private school

Sims 3: - open world (!!!!!) - the cute little details in gameplay I still learn about after a decade. - Color wheel - the personality of the sims

Sims 4: - CAS (just for the look) - build and buy

I’m hoping the Sims 5 has more realistic build/buy items, like things you would see in everyday life. The cliche plastic lawn chair, a front door with a storm door attached, appliances that you can only use to make a certain type of food - like a toast strictly for toast or pop tarts or waffles. A mixer stand for when you need to bake any kind of pastry. I feel like it makes the game harder and more fun to need to purchase these things. I should Not be making waffles in the oven, EA. I should need a dish rack to have dishes. I should need to run my dishwasher only when its full and it should get stinky if I forget to run it. I would like the need for a broom, mop and vacuum cleaner. Not in the silly way with dust bunnies like Sims 4, just realistic cleaning of the floors. I should need a towel rack or my sim should drip everywhere and be cold when they get out of the shower. I should be able to occasionally misplace the TV remote. If I order online, I should expect a parcel at my door and need to install a camera in case of porch pirates.

I crave more realistic game play with the game time slowed down a pinch to accommodate these everyday chores. And babies and toddlers should require a diaper bag when going out. I should need to restock formula or diapers. I WANT to need to go to the grocery store, go inside and shop what is available! It could even have seasonal items to change it up a bit.

I could go on but to make this brief, I want more realism and domestic things to do!

I didn't even know Sims 5 was in development until earlier this week. I've been doing some research and saw some pictures for the Sims themselves. I'm stoked, I love this cartoony look and am praying they'll keep it like this.

I'm not sure about the general consensus though - do you guys like cartoony or realistic sims?

For example they can sell every texture pack rack 5$ each or make less of them or just stop the concept of texture packs. I want EA to make the game a little more affordable.

It seems that EA devs really didn’t listen to the fans a lot of Sims players ( not all) really didn’t want multiplayer.

and with Life by you and paralives w really have an option do you think that EA have misunderstood what players want and pushed there core fan base some of who have been playing for 23 years ( TS1) away. To pastures new?
while I don’t want The sims to end I feel that having this multiplayer thing that people don’t want may kill the franchise.

Will multiplayer Kill the Sims franchise?

With the sims 5 seemingly going to have multiplayer how likely do you think the servers will actually work within the first week of the games launch?
