As reported by CVG on Monday, September 8, Grant Rodiek, the producer of The Sims developer Maxis, let slip in the official Sims 4 forums over the weekend that if the recently released Sims 4 doesn’t sell well, there won’t be Sims 5 to follow it.
“We’re not working on Sims 5 . We’re not thinking about Sims 5 . If Sims 4 isn’t successful, there won’t be a Sims 5 , ” Rodiek said in the forums, adding to a discussion about possible improvements to the next game after Sims 4 . ” It’s not all or nothing, per se, but something has to pay for 5 , ” he then reportedly added.
According to CVG, the forum post Rodiek made has since been removed.
Before The Sims 4 released on Tuesday, September 2, no review copies of the game were handed out prior to the game’s launch . In amongst other things, Sims 4 is missing both pools and toddlers as part of its base game.
Even though pool building won’t be available, there is a new Fountain Tool that’ll allow for you to create sophisticated landscapes. Further more, toddlers won’t be an age in The Sims 4 , like it has been in previous Sims titles.
We’ll bring you more news on The Sims 4 should further information reach our ears. The Sims 4 is now available for PC.
