Eight years in the market and endless expansions weigh on the shoulders of The Sims 4 and naturally fans wonder if The Sims 5 approaches. Unconventionally, developer Maxis has revealed that the game is in development as ‘Project Rene’ (or Renée), which will eventually come out. The Sims 5.
During the transmisión Behind The Sims SummitLyndsay Pearson, Franchise Creative Vice President The Sims, shared some of the company’s future plans. Among these is the next main title of The Simswhich will allow solo or collaborative play across multiple devices.
As will be The Sims 5
An improved construction and customization system will allow you to decorate even the smallest detail of home furniture, including its location angles. Looks different from the menu The Sims 4. Players, for example, will be able to choose the texture of the sheets on a bed, the order of the cushions on a sofa and their design patterns. Homes can be more lopsided than gridded, just like in real life.
Multiplayer can bring many together when building or decorating a home with the cross-platform feature. Thanks to this, through a synchronized mobile device we can outline details in the PC version. Although we did not see anything about the design of the new Sims.
According to Pearson, EA and Maxis had never shared work-in-progress on their next game at such an early stage of development. Over the next few years we will see new information and material, so it will be a considerable wait to be able to play The Sims 5.
How to play for free The Sims 4
As previously announced, since last October 18 you can play the base game for free The Sims 4 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC/Mac (Steam/Origin). You simply have to go to the store of each platform to free download The Sims 4. In the case of PC or Mac too you can go to the official site to download the executable from EA (PC) or Origin (Mac).
Maxis will continue to support The Sims 4 for the next few years. In 2023 two new expansions will arrive and the babies of the franchise will receive the stage of infants, thus expanding the life of the Sims.
Now that a larger user base will join the free-to-play game, we can look forward to plans from EA to collaborate with the CurseForge mod platform. Thus supporting a huge community of ‘modders’ around the franchise.
