The Sims 4 is the most troubled iteration of the series yet, and though it's come a long way, it's still far from being a legacy title. From the sounds of it, though, that's exactly what I think EA intends it to be.
A recent blog post from EA has confirmed that not only is there no Sims 5 in the pipeline, but Project Rene has been confirmed as a multiplayer Sims project that will exist in tandem with The Sims 4, set to exist in perpetuity as an ongoing project. Honestly? It's sounding a lot like what Fortnite is doing, offering various linked gaming permutations governed under one umbrella. It's also the complete antithesis of how The Sims has always operated as a single player, episodic experience that players enjoy watching evolve over time.
