This and the fact it's gonna be for mobile as well makes me have very little hope it will be the sims game we all want.

Biggest thing I want out of the sims 5 is to be able to play multiplayer. Been using S4MP and it works surprisingly well, to the point where if the sims 5 does not have multiplayer it's gonna seriously turn me off from it and probably just stick with sims 4.

Hopefully I'm wrong and it's the best sims game ever made.

Very sad, guess Sims 4 was really it. I'm not going to be surprised if they just call it, The Sims. Another dead Maxis game

Not a good sign.

Free base game with in-game store? I'm guessing freemium all the way with a shit ton of micro-transactions on launch.

I also remember hearing in the past that TS5 would require a continous internet connection. If that's so it'll likely be used to verify content to prevent pirating, and possible to serve ads...
