THE JIST FOR EVERYONE: A new Sims Title is in development, 'Project Rene'. Sims Freeplay is getting a sims makeover, smoothing out the appearance. Sims Mobile is getting balconies. Sims 4 is expecting a baby update sometime next year, as well as two packs, which were not mentioned much. Also a new platform for custom content and mod sharing.👀
It’s great to see that after 8 years, and reiterating multiple times that this is years out, the sims team is proud to announce a color wheel… Something that was in the sims 3 at launch…
@@vanessaafrika7659 If Sims 5 has similar features as Paralives but doesn't have the amateur art-project look I'll probably be sticking with Sims, I know that for sure lol Guess we'll see how the gameplay is
Any other simmers here that miss the vibes of the earlier Sims games? The quirkiness of the Sims 1 is what I really miss along with the open-world concept of 3. Id love to see them so a collab with Will Wright on the development of this game. Also, they should be including weather in the base game at this point.
I agree. Today it just feels so "Gen-Z, pronouns, LGBTQ+". I miss how edgy the game was in the past, even just a few years ago, maybe until 2017 but IDK if there is something that can be done about it, probably not :(. So disappointing.
@@connor_1x1x1x1 The sims game have always allowed you to make LGBT+ sims, and the sims games have always had pronouns in text bubbles and such? I agree, I wish the game was edgier, but 'Gen-z, pronouns, and LGBTQ+' isn't the issue.
That announcement at the end of the stream looked like paralives. Like a lot, thankfully after the last let down I didn’t get my hopes up and yet I’m still disappointed that sims could so obviously copy paralives.
@@User-dd3pu who knows, maybe they’ll surprise us and flat out buy the creators of paralives out so they have no competition. i hope they don’t fall for EAs tricks if that happens.
And the fact that it’s early in development after 8 years. It literally looks like they cobbled it together as a direct response for Paralives. Did they even have any plans beyond ts4 prior to this?
@@michasmith3591 it’s not copying to have two games in the same genre. Paralives looks entirely different and has lots more features that the sims never had, or never had until recently. They asked the community what they wanted to see in their game. That’s not a rip off. That’s fresh ideas based on your target audience’s interest. Besides, the Sims did not create the life simulation genre. By that logic, the sims copied all the games before it.
@@hiimjai6064 But still, there's other life sim games that makes their own features and style. While paralives is making a rip-off anime version of Sims.
@@hiimjai6064 Pretty much everything Paralives has done is something the sims already has, or is so generic/common they can't really claim it as a 'unique' feature.
far as I can tell (I didn't watch the entire video) the literal last 20 seconds of the summit are of a "baby" crawling on the floor. It's hard for me to tell because it looks like a toddler (like teens look like young adults.)
Their both great games with many different ideals while one is um more about 💸 I think paralives is going to be more about how you tell their story I just hope the sims franchise is catching on to this trend
@@ThetaSigma-vu1sk personally i think that TS4 is one of the only major 3D games in the life sim genre. a lot of their mechanics are just mechanics any game in the genre would use. its like saying every new fps game is copying halo because they both use joysticks to move around. EA, a multi-billion dollar company, puts in the bare minimum of effort until it looks like they might lose money. they should be the innovators, but this game has been out 8 years and is still ripping ideas from indie developers because they're finally being challenged and have industry competition.
waited 30 minutes for them to announce overpriced paralives and to see a video of a baby having rights after eight years asking for it. totally worth it, not disappointed at all.
@@arielborbavieira I saw that part, that looked like the Sims mobile from 2013, but everyone was so excited I hoped they’d actually give us something factual. I’m so disappointed 😔
Im pissed because they literally hyped this stream up a month before it was aired just to have a bunch of fake puns, unsynchronized dancing and random people throughout the whole stream and barely even gave us any content update in regards to the sims 4. For a stream that was so hyped you would've thought they would've took notes and gave the fans more, the stream wasn't even 30 minutes and it was played from a video that could've just been released.
@@orangesodabliss Don't get your hopes up so much. This is EA we're talking about, and maxis have little to no creative control over the game anymore. Odds are, the sims 5 will be slightly worse than what the sims 4 brought us at launch
@@guitarmaniac004 Also seeing that much progress on the game and them saying they still need years to until it's released. I bet it'll somehow still be an unfinished glitchy mess when it releases.
@@orangesodabliss The teams who made She Sims 1, 2, and 3 are certainly not the same teams working on the Sims 4 and the Sims 5. I'm sure EA has bought into the diversity scandal, as you can tell from the Horse Ranch expansion pack website. Expect the game to represent the low standard that EA requires for its minority employees.
@@msSweeTae no, but they still wasted our time by hyping this crap and making us think it was worth the time. Glad I got to after it aired so I wasn't having to sit through all that crap to get the 2 minutes of actual content
This whole situation is just embarrassing. EA hyped up this stream as if it was going to have any new or fun content, giving the impression that the content would be BIG, or at least bigger than a regular pack or kit release. This was less than that, and could’ve been summed up in a Newsletter seeing as most Simmers are playing the ACTUAL Sims game and not the mobile ports. So you could’ve advertised this as just a small game update and said the sims is now free to play, but instead we get all this spectacle and hype for nothing. I think the most frustrating thing about this is that I wasn’t even expecting a Sims 5; in fact, I was gonna be upset if it was the Sims 5 because Sims 4 is an $870 game (with all dlc) that DOESNT WORK!? I was genuinely hoping this was gonna be a huge update or fix for the Sims 4 with quality of life changes and bug fixes, but no, just more of the same broken game but now with more broken content 🤕
lol they literally talked the next game and people are still whining and complaining. I'm out with this community, mentally ill people will never be happy about anything. Just don't play the game, do everyone a favor and exit stage left.
They Are so freaking scared of paralives. It gives us, at this moment alone, everything we've been asking for in the sims for YEARS. If the sims team is unable to release "project rene" before paralives hits the market, then they Are screwed
I've been a Patreon supporter of paralives from near the beginning, been saying this exact thing for months now. They actually care about the game though.
This was so incredibly underwhelming 😭 I knew this was gonna happen, so glad I didn’t get my hopes up. It doesn’t make me wanna invest in TS5 knowing how much money i’ve invested in TS4. Also, they literally stole Paralives’ entire look
But that’s not gonna be the final look from what i was seeing. It’s still in early stages. The look could change but I def saw some paralives influence in there😂
Project Rene is just what it’s called. It just doesn’t have a title yet which will most likely be sims 5. They definitely copied paralives and yes that’s annoying. they realized they gotta step their game up bc they know paralives is gonna be amazing
I am a sims4 player from Japan. I have enjoyed playing sims4 on consoles for years. I was looking forward to the Desert Luxe Kit that will be given to players who have been paying for sims4 as a free gift to thank them for enjoying the free version of sims4. However, the Desert Luxe Kit has not yet been distributed to console players in Japan. I saw an answer on ea's question board that said "Due to Japanese law, Desert Luxe Kit cannot be distributed to Japanese console players". There is no detailed explanation that would convince me. There are no solid announcements by official reports. I am angry and saddened by this response, as I have been enjoying playing sims4 by purchasing the full game and dlc for a fee, even though I have had to put up with many unresolved bugs. It seems that Japanese console players are being disrespected. I hope that Desert Luxe Kit will be distributed to Japanese console players as well. If this is not possible, please provide a satisfactory explanation and announcement.
I looked it up. "Players in Japan cannot redeem the Desert Luxe kit for free as part of the loyalty offer due to local laws against such offers." Japan has laws against loyalty offers as marketing? My mind is blown.
If an indie team of Paralives of 20 people can be making a game with a lot of base game things included, you know EA is mismanaging the Sims team. They have a TON of competition now in simulation games. They'll lose players if they don't keep up. I mean even modders do better mods for the game than EA. At least they're trying to catch up I guess??
As someone who abandoned this series shortly after the launch of the Sims 4, this little look at Rene gives me a lot of hope. The simple feature of retexturing an object is such a powerful feature in Sims 3 that its absence in Sims 4 was sorely felt. As long as this new title includes all life stages at its launch, I think it's a safe bet I'll be there on day one.
I've reverted back to playing Sims 3 lately for the "Create a Style" feature. Seeing a team dedicated to "Project Renee" to bring patterns and a color wheel brightened my morning. 😄 Tho can we get more testers for these changes so they don't break my game while running multiple packs? That would be awesome.
Everyone cry about "I want this and this" in the game, which is impossible for them to listen to everyone, so suporting the modding community (who is larger and more close to the players) is great to give what player want
From what I could see, Sims 5 currently includes: - Platforms - Clutter (free placement) - Colour wheel - Patterns - Free move and tilt for objects - Customizable parts for furniture - Toilets have slots - Doors with customizable hooks and racks - Apartments - Multi-platform synching updated in real time, can be used between multiple users - Gallery for sharing and downloading rooms They’re starting off strong with this one! Please feel free to add to the list if you caught something I didn’t
theres also apartments! if you look in the shot where theyre showing off the mobile gameplay, if you look in the left corner it says “apartment selection”!!!!
So your big reveal is that you’re watching what Paralives is doing and replicating it? Awesome glad I wasted 30 minutes. I will still be supporting and playing paralives, the life sims genre needs more.
I'm not trying to defend ea but they also mentioned -free base game -2 new expansion packs -baby update -mod and cc manager And had both a celebration of the sims as a series and those who make up our community They weren't just making announcements today, it was a celebration of the sims 4 being free, you definitely just had way to high of expectations
@@deadmeme9031 -free base game - most simmers already bought it -2 new expansion packs - not gonna save the game at this point -baby update - after 8 years? right about time lol -mod and cc manager - as if mods were impossible before
@@mrmr4622 -People who couldn't afford the base game exsist, also new players come with making your game free, that's just marketing -Also obviously it won't, I don't even play ts4 for anything other than cas lmao, I just think that we gotta realize this was never FOR announcements, it was for celebration -again obviously, but isn't the saying rather late than never? -younger Sims fans or people who aren't good with computers might struggle to install mods and cc, and compiling cc into one place will make it easier on those people, not everything is for you
this could have been an email... would love to see the amount of money that went into production and advertising for this event go toward improving the sims 4
It was never supposed to be just announcements though, it was always advertised as a celebration of the sims 4 becoming free, unlike a normal Sims Livestream which is usually for updates and gameplay
30:20 WOOOW, she just announced a feature Sims 3 already had decades ago. So this was the plan on removing the style maker in Sims 4, so you can put it back in and sell it as a brand new feature. And it only took years to implement it again. That's a huge step forward and a technical milestone. WOOOOW
TLDR EA saw how much hype was behind the indie game Paralives made by French developers (more on that in a bit). So they throw together a (very) short demo where they show resizing, pattern changing, and color changing of objects (hint, all shown to be IN Paralives). So now they announce Project Rene, Rene is a proper name of French ^ origin meaning reborn.
Whats funny is that they made the game look better then it is, not a single clip was from the base game of sims 4. You would have to spend $200+ to get your game looking that custom and beautiful. sad
Yeah, most of the sims 4 clips were specifically from cinematic trailers that are 100% not actual gameplay. they always have to fake ts4 looking fun...sigh 😭
Imagine being so scared by an indie developer who started showing you up that you need to steal their ideas and look...Rene looks JUST like Paralives. No freaking shame.
Be prepared for them to split babies, seasons, professions, night life, vacations, etc all into separate 60 dollar expansion packs, and then nickel and dime you further for furniture packs, neighborhoods, etc at 20 bucks a pop
If I were Paralives, I would sue EA. no inspiration, direct labor theft. just the interface is different. I expected better from EA. Also, it's ridiculous that babies come years later. Even if you just design a sims2 and sims3 mix and release it as a new game, it will sell more. sims4 has always been a buggy and soulless game. designing houses and people is great! but when it comes to gameplay it's a disgrace. It's still on my sims2 computer to enjoy the game I'm playing. I hope you don't disappoint us in your new sims game. Otherwise, I will not look at the sims series again.
I can guarantee y'all that EA is gonna release The Sims 5 earlier than Paralives (because Paralives got EA's boot's quivering lol) and it's gonna be like The Sims 4 release all over again... A incomplete game filled with bugs and missing content lmaoooo
I'm just saying both have been in development for about the same amount of time (this is shown through licensing and copyright stuff) Also Paralives hasn't shown any gameplay of livemode as far as I've seen (correct me if I'm wrong) so for all we know at this current moment it could be just as shallow as ts4 (I hope it isn't but again we don't know)
Tanked? Out of touch? We still love the Sims and I'm pretty sure that the players base is growing, which is very impressive for an 8 year old game. Also if you watched any reaction video/stream you know that the players loved the summit.
@@ΙάσοναςΑλιφέρης-χ7ξ I think the OP was insinuating that the game has tanked in overall quality, which it honestly has. It isn't quite as fun to play as TS2 and TS3, even all these years later. EA being out of touch with the players is a complaint that has been around for most of the life of Sims 4, profound concerns about missing elements and ignored issues. It's nothing remotely new. *"...if you watched any reaction video/stream you know that the players loved the summit."* If I watched the reaction video of streamers whose livelihoods revolve around Sims 4? Whose followers expect positivity and hopefulness? The ones who have professed (for years) unconditional love for the game? Those streamers? Lol I'm not surprised that they 'loved' it, most of them usually find something to love even in the worst packs/updates. It isn't all sunshine & rainbows 100% of the time, but anyone who actually streams their gameplay or lot builds or reactions is more than likely a big fan, someone who will probably react positively to most things Sims related, regardless. The announcement of the next generation of Sims is going to garner positive reactions from hardcore fans almost no matter what. If you go into comment sections of articles, or in forum threads or reddit or other platforms where players can express their feelings across a wide spectrum, THEN you'll see the real-world complaints and concerns. Not sure if you're working-age, but it's like how corporate is often out of touch with the workers, the people on the ground who actually deal with the disgruntled customers or outdated/useless systems. As far as corporate is, concerned, everything is great! But ask the people who actually have to DEAL with the mess every day. You'll get the truth lol.
My facial expressions through the entire summit:🤔🙄😮😑 I must be an ungrateful simmer cause I'm over it😂 the visuals were cute tho. The "new project" looks like sims 4, sims mobile and paralives had a baby🤔😂
its not complete and is set for a few years more in dev. Every time I see a comment comparing it to paralives tells me that paralives is very basic and shouldn't be a thing yet.
It reminded me so much of paralives. I guess EA is getting nervous, haha. I also have the feeling that the Sims 5 is gonna be what the Sims 4 supposed to be.
@@ThetaSigma-vu1sk the difference is that the Paralives team has stated from the beginning they were making a game based on The Sims and couldn't even use many features because EA patented them. EA - a big company - doesn't even have the decency to acknowledge they're ripping off something the Paralives team - a team made of indie game developers - have made. This is like a worldwide famous singer copying a fan's song inspired by them and claiming as their own just because the fan's song is better.
@@ThetaSigma-vu1sk o.0 No they're not.... Nobody said the sims had a monopoly on life simulation (especially since they hardly do anything life simulating), but here they are copying what paralives does with their game when it comes to style, aesthetic, and function....
@@ThetaSigma-vu1sk Paralives introduced many new features to the genre because of their audience’s feedback. Sims stole the ideas from them after realizing the fans were migrating away
I only really liked the baby reveal tbh, the project rene looks more like a building focused mobile app - reminds me of AR home design apps mixed with paralives mechanics which personally is not what I had hoped in regards to their next game I wanted it to be more gameplay focused but hey this is extremely early so who knows
I really enjoy building in the sims 4 but even i didn’t like the look of it. I like building in the sims 4, not what that is. There’s a reason I play the sims 4 and not house design apps or whatever.
Please I just want to say thank you so so much for bringing back the color wheel for Project Rene. You have no idea how happy that made me and my partner. Along with the patterns and sizes. Super excited
I just want to say Thank You … Thank You for giving me the last push that I needed to finally close this chapter of my life and uninstall the sims 4 for good. See you guys when Paralives releases!
They spent a chunk of our EP money to tell us about things that should’ve been in the game ages ago. 😂 This game has been out for 8 years and it’s been nothing but a cash grab mostly using content we’ve seen before. 😭
Yes but also this wasn't supposed to be an announcement stream, it's been advertised as a celebration about ts4 becoming free WITH announcements, there is a difference
Love how passionate she was describing the foundations of the sims games. Meanwhile, all I could think of was when id boot up the ps2 and wall off the bathroom with a sim on the inside 🤣🤣🤣
Y'all should add Plumbella, Fake Gamer Girl and Call Me Kevin next time. They deserve recognition too. Also to new simmers don't buy a pack just because it looks cool and fun make sure you research into it first. Learned that first hand.
Okay, for the people saying that they haven´t announced The Sims 5. EVERY game goes by a codename while in early development stages. Project Rene is a codename that will later be changed to 5 or something else. GTA VI is also currently called Project Americas, the 3 new upcoming Assasins Creed games also have codenames. Codename Red, Codename Jade and Codename Hexe. They're prototype names. So relax, lol. They just revealed the game extremely early, hence the current name.
@@Bluehoshiflower To be honest I was also expecting it to be at least a bit more advanced by now. My guess is that they literally just started development hence why they just showed like 2/3 new mechanics for build mode. But I was kinda expecting this as Jeff Grubb stated that the new game would be announced this month but that it was still really far away. This pretty much matches what he said. But this is ¨Sims 5¨ nonetheless. So they did announce it, even if it didn't quite match what people were waiting for.
Really not sure about this whole thing where they host mods and custom content instead of it being external. It seems like a way to get out of fixing their game themselves, and reminds me of Skyrim Anniversary's creator thing, that just made my game even buggier than before
My weirdest story took place in Sims 3. A family adopted a robot (Plumbot) for household chores. The robot was sick of it and rode away on the family's unicorn, moved to a new town and put the town square on fire 😂😂😂
That "Project Rene" is a proof that EA got all sweaty after Paralives videos xD so basically they are trying desperately to keep up with an indie game, how hilarious xD
I really missed the open world that was the Sims 3 where you can move everywhere in the map with real time simulation (almost) and with zero loading screens (also almost) I hope Project Rene will have this.
@@FloraInWonderland that's true. I can play full Sims 4 in ultra mode but I cab barely play full Sims 3 in medium mode. And sims 3 graphics sucks if they're not at least some high resolution...
I think the Sims 5 should have open neighborhoods instead. Sometimes I just wanna focus on one sim. Constantly focusing on multiple sims while one sim travels out of the house can be stressful af to me 💀
absolutely getting some inspiration from Paralives! But I think that's great - Paralives is going to be awesome, and hopefully this pushes the sims team to listen to the players and give us these great customization features
paralives is literally a copy of the sims... tbh they probly started the rene project before paralives even thought about it. I mean come on... look at it... it's literally a copy of the sims but with the typical knock off hipster indie look to it.
That's the problem with this game. Instead of focusing on fixing the issues they already have, they release broken packs, and move on to other things that don't matter. Fix. The. Broken. Packs. FIX THE WEDDINGS! FIX DINE OUT! STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE THINGS YOU CAN DO NEXT! WORRY ABOUT FIXING THE PROBLEMS YOU ALREADY HAVE!
Why does Paralives literally have everything they just announced? You can literally pull things to the size /length you want them to not just but em down and have a colorwheel (aka paralives and sims 3 just woohoed in the bush.)
Hey 2 things 1) paralives stated they don't wanna be compared to the sims like this on multiple occasions 2) Paralives and Sims 5 have probably been in development for a very similar time, the difference is EA doesn't talk about what they are doing behind the scenes while paralives has been open
I hope the baby update will have several Life Stages like Newborn, Supported Sitter, Sitter, and Finally Crawler. And at the end of the Crawler Stage, you can teach your baby to Walk, and then it becomes and Toddler.
That's overkill. I'm ok with just 2 stages before toddler (the original babies (newborn), then the crawling one). The other stuff you mentioned can be the levels of a skill in the second stage
Am not kidding, The Sims helped me through the pandemic. I needed an outlet outside work to get my creativity or something to “go outside”. I’ve been flipping through The Sims 1,2, 3 and 4. Thank you Maxis! I know the game is not perfect but none the less it helped me through a rough patch. ❤ here’s to hoping for a good future for The Sims
To everyone making fun of the sims being forced to innovate because of paralives, please understand that this is how innovation works. If you have a monopoly on the genre, that’s how you end up with the original sims 4 base game. When you have competition, you have to innovate to keep ahead. It only benefits us players.
@@shmebulocck True, but this is just an early look. I wouldn’t be surprised if by the time the game came out it looked completely different. Most games early look looks way different than the final product. Same goes for the gameplay and whatnot.
But there comes a point where you cross the line of inspiration and copying and this looks like copying from the interface to the art style and functionality
Well, aside from all the negative comments below... One good thing about the next Sims game is that they are giving us a choice of playing alone or with other friends which is great. Also, it seems that EVERYTHING is going to be highly customizable as well, which is really great if you like to get super creative with your homes, etc. 5 top things I am personally hoping for in the future are... 1. Way better updated graphics(what they showed off looked similar to graphical fidelity in the Sims 4 but again they said it's VERY early development and graphics usually get finished towards the release of a video game). 2. Way smarter and next-gen AI, from physics to more life-like and realistic/smart Sim interactions, especially with NPC's. 3. A whole Sims economy in the game, with the ability to work numerous jobs, run businesses, and be able to actually make money or go and support a friends business in the game to help them make money. For example I can get a job as a barista and other people can come to the store and tip me money if they like my drinks, giving me the option to make more than the standard paycheck, etc. 4. All different weather types and conditions, from rain to snow or even hurricanes, etc. Or again at the very least, different moderate weather and seasons. 5. Actual driveable cars, or bring back cars to the game even if it's AI driven like the Sims 3. *Bonus* - I would also love the gameplay to expand. For example, if I am at home cooking, there should be a mini-game where when you cook, there's certain meters you have to time and hit and if done successfully you'll get a boost in food quality so that maybe your Sim stays fuller longer, or if you do terribly the quality goes down and your Sim gets sick or gets hungry again quick. Things like that would elevate gameplay instead of just clicking and waiting to see what happens all the time. What about you guys? What do you think?
Dear EA. This is the worst stream that I have ever seen. You mentioned new content for the sims freeplay and the sims mobile, but you barely mentioned anything for Sims 4. Also, the cringe-worthy dance number and the embarassing on-location segment just proves that you would rather spend money promoting the game rather than fixing it, and it's such a shame that over the past 20 years, you've been exploiting and taking advantage of us all by releasing everything behind paywalls. What a shame. The Sims Freeplay's presentation looks awful, as the aging game engine already makes it obvious that it's on its way out. The Sims Mobile on the other hand, looks like it's only going to get worse with the ruthless monetization already made. As for Project Renee, it just looks like you guys copied various features from Paralives and claimed it for yourselves. If the developers at Paralives found out you guys did this, prepare to get sued to hell. It also looks like it's just a mobile game running on PC. And that teaser at the end where you improved the babies? Looks like that will be extremely buggy. What will happen to existing babies? Are you going to replace them or will these new babies will be a horrible glitchy mess that could potentially corrupt existing players' saves? Hopefully you guys will take the time to resolve these bugs and hopefully release them in a good state. What a shame. This stream could have been good. But it wasn't. You have just played yourself with this event. Hopefully there will be more, but unfortunately, you guys gotta start fixing The Sims if you want your playerbase to respect you again. Signed, Silverio G.
Ok, here is a little sum-up for those who don't want to waste their time: - Future two EPs for the following year. - Mods now will be available in "Overwolf"? - Anitta's behind-the-scenes is probably an early sneak peek of a Singer's career or Bands? - New updates for The Sims FreePlay (A new appearance and some Yachts and things for Christmas) and The Sims Mobile (Balconies) in 2023 - Project RENE (The Sims 5 but just an early view of the future built mode (kinda like what Paralives is developing)) - Baby Update!!!!!! That's it.
@@cappie2000 i wouldn't say kill them off but yea it really upsetting that paralives announce this type of news and sims just now start to do that sort of thing like what they are doing, i have to be honest when i think of rene it probably gonna most likely be the reboot of sims 3 and 2 (never played 2)

That announcement at the end of the stream looked like paralives. Like a lot, thankfully after the last let down I didn’t get my hopes up and yet I’m still disappointed that sims could so obviously copy paralives.
@@User-dd3pu who knows, maybe they’ll surprise us and flat out buy the creators of paralives out so they have no competition. i hope they don’t fall for EAs tricks if that happens.
And the fact that it’s early in development after 8 years. It literally looks like they cobbled it together as a direct response for Paralives. Did they even have any plans beyond ts4 prior to this?
Our faces when they randomly had a dance number: 👁 👄 👁
like... so unnecessary. also they keep hiring that youtuber that talked bad about TS3 to do those cringe interviews on the streets
I expected lots of filler, but was not expecting an entire music video.
I thought it will be "music pack" annoucment but no XDD
It was random and had no info about the kits (which I would trade at any time for a stuff pack!!!!)
Kept thinking it was pointless unless you used the dancers for motion capture.
Sims team when they saw Paralives: Write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN!!
To be fair, paralives did copy the sims,
@@michasmith3591 Well of course they're gonna be similar if they're both life simulators with a build mechanic.
@@michasmith3591 it’s not copying to have two games in the same genre. Paralives looks entirely different and has lots more features that the sims never had, or never had until recently. They asked the community what they wanted to see in their game. That’s not a rip off. That’s fresh ideas based on your target audience’s interest. Besides, the Sims did not create the life simulation genre. By that logic, the sims copied all the games before it.
@@hiimjai6064 But still, there's other life sim games that makes their own features and style. While paralives is making a rip-off anime version of Sims.
@@hiimjai6064 Pretty much everything Paralives has done is something the sims already has, or is so generic/common they can't really claim it as a 'unique' feature.
Cannot wait for this baby update we have needed this for ages!!!
Seriously because the babies are hardly ever played because they’re boring
when do they speak about the baby update?
far as I can tell (I didn't watch the entire video) the literal last 20 seconds of the summit are of a "baby" crawling on the floor. It's hard for me to tell because it looks like a toddler (like teens look like young adults.)
Over the moon over the damn moon right now!

This is what we call the Paralives Panic
this is what we call stupidity
paralives: *exists*
the sims 5 team: *slaps their game* this bad boy can fit so much plagiarism inside it
@@stonesword1844 you say that like paralives isn't just ripping off the sims
Their both great games with many different ideals while one is um more about 💸 I think paralives is going to be more about how you tell their story I just hope the sims franchise is catching on to this trend
@@ThetaSigma-vu1sk personally i think that TS4 is one of the only major 3D games in the life sim genre. a lot of their mechanics are just mechanics any game in the genre would use. its like saying every new fps game is copying halo because they both use joysticks to move around. EA, a multi-billion dollar company, puts in the bare minimum of effort until it looks like they might lose money. they should be the innovators, but this game has been out 8 years and is still ripping ideas from indie developers because they're finally being challenged and have industry competition.
64-bit Sims 3 with better graphics is EXACTLY what I wanted for sims 5!!! I'm loving what im seeing!!!
AGREE! The Sims 3 but not laggy and with The Sims 4 graphics would be enough for me.
I want them to at least implement coop.
waited 30 minutes for them to announce overpriced paralives and to see a video of a baby having rights after eight years asking for it. totally worth it, not disappointed at all.

Where is the baby part, it annoys me too much to watch everything😂
@@dianaopris It's at the very end
@@arielborbavieira I saw that part, that looked like the Sims mobile from 2013, but everyone was so excited I hoped they’d actually give us something factual. I’m so disappointed 😔
@@dianaopris I'm not getting my hopes up either because they look weird.
All the hype for a baby update?! Something that the sims 4 has needed for a long time is wild! Im speechless 😢
I'm more excited for the color wheel and patterns
I need the baby update! I'm getting tired of baby objects. 😢
Im pissed because they literally hyped this stream up a month before it was aired just to have a bunch of fake puns, unsynchronized dancing and random people throughout the whole stream and barely even gave us any content update in regards to the sims 4. For a stream that was so hyped you would've thought they would've took notes and gave the fans more, the stream wasn't even 30 minutes and it was played from a video that could've just been released.
Did you miss the part of Project Renee? 😊
And the babies look exactly like toddler too, just a little resized.
Waited 8 years to be told it will be years before sims 5 👌🏼
nah fr with all this time it better be sooolo much better than sims 4 that it makes us all forget how bad it was
@@orangesodabliss Don't get your hopes up so much. This is EA we're talking about, and maxis have little to no creative control over the game anymore. Odds are, the sims 5 will be slightly worse than what the sims 4 brought us at launch
@@guitarmaniac004 Also seeing that much progress on the game and them saying they still need years to until it's released. I bet it'll somehow still be an unfinished glitchy mess when it releases.
why are people even waiting for a Sims 5 when Sims 4 is so disappointing compared to its predecessors?
@@orangesodabliss The teams who made She Sims 1, 2, and 3 are certainly not the same teams working on the Sims 4 and the Sims 5. I'm sure EA has bought into the diversity scandal, as you can tell from the Horse Ranch expansion pack website. Expect the game to represent the low standard that EA requires for its minority employees.
I honestly didn’t expect to be this excited about babies 😂 It crawls!! There was a soft baby prison! She picked him up *like a baby* !!
Babies were already crawling in The Sims 3
@@LaburnumAnagyroides exactly. We are supposed to be excited about something we used to have?? Lol
@@KarahChristian honestly though-
@@LaburnumAnagyroides no babies were wrapped in blankets toddlers could crawl and you had to teach them how to walk talk and use the potty

A Tweet would be enough to announce all that stuff instead of a 30 minutes livestream
No one forced/forcing you to watch it and of course they'll release a written update as well for those who aren't able to watch it.
SERIOUSLY
No fr like tweets are better
@@msSweeTae no, but they still wasted our time by hyping this crap and making us think it was worth the time. Glad I got to after it aired so I wasn't having to sit through all that crap to get the 2 minutes of actual content
@@miciarokiri5182 Why do you have to be so negative?
EA, please don't forget world creators during Project Rene. We've been forgotten for all these years of The Sims 4.
AWWWWW OMG that's literally so sad OMG but it's so true.
This whole situation is just embarrassing. EA hyped up this stream as if it was going to have any new or fun content, giving the impression that the content would be BIG, or at least bigger than a regular pack or kit release. This was less than that, and could’ve been summed up in a Newsletter seeing as most Simmers are playing the ACTUAL Sims game and not the mobile ports. So you could’ve advertised this as just a small game update and said the sims is now free to play, but instead we get all this spectacle and hype for nothing.
I think the most frustrating thing about this is that I wasn’t even expecting a Sims 5; in fact, I was gonna be upset if it was the Sims 5 because Sims 4 is an $870 game (with all dlc) that DOESNT WORK!? I was genuinely hoping this was gonna be a huge update or fix for the Sims 4 with quality of life changes and bug fixes, but no, just more of the same broken game but now with more broken content 🤕
So the whole time instead of fixing the game that’s already out they were preparing for Sims 5 , 🤦🏾♀️
@@LazyIndigo2 LITERALLY! They saw Paralives and got scared so the put all their effort into copying them when we still have a beyond broken game
Factz
And after doing a spa day refresh I would think they do the same for the packs
lol they literally talked the next game and people are still whining and complaining. I'm out with this community, mentally ill people will never be happy about anything. Just don't play the game, do everyone a favor and exit stage left.
This was a WHOLE DUBB . This could of been an email , a post , a news letter…SMH
literally
Exactly
EXACTLY
Psh. I'm excited and happy it's not a new game.
What I miss?
it’s so surprising that they included the older sims games (Sims, Sims 2, Sims 3), I thought they forgot about them 😭
No one likes to talk about Medieval though. I really liked that one.
they're coming for Paralives for the next franchise. theyll be taking notes.
They Are so freaking scared of paralives. It gives us, at this moment alone, everything we've been asking for in the sims for YEARS. If the sims team is unable to release "project rene" before paralives hits the market, then they Are screwed
I've been a Patreon supporter of paralives from near the beginning, been saying this exact thing for months now. They actually care about the game though.
they really are with the pillows? really
Isn’t paralives like a scam
They've had these notes since sims 3 at least
"We're not going to be fixing game breaking bugs and glitches in The Sims 4, instead we're adding even more onto the pile! Thanks for your money! 💸"
and every dlc ever made for the sims like omg 400$ gone in one sitting and they all glitch and crash
The fact that it’s now free when I paid for it 😂 where’s my refund
You know when a meeting could’ve been an email, this is that
This was so incredibly underwhelming 😭 I knew this was gonna happen, so glad I didn’t get my hopes up. It doesn’t make me wanna invest in TS5 knowing how much money i’ve invested in TS4. Also, they literally stole Paralives’ entire look
But that’s not gonna be the final look from what i was seeing. It’s still in early stages. The look could change but I def saw some paralives influence in there😂
Project Rene is just what it’s called. It just doesn’t have a title yet which will most likely be sims 5.
They definitely copied paralives and yes that’s annoying. they realized they gotta step their game up bc they know paralives is gonna be amazing
They've been underwhelming for a long time The Sims lost its SPIRIT, heart and creativity. The franchise is over.
What the hell are you talking about? The Sims 5 has been in development LONG BEFORE paralives
@@alguienmas5098 What sims 5. Sims 5 isn't even in development.
I am a sims4 player from Japan.
I have enjoyed playing sims4 on consoles for years.
I was looking forward to the Desert Luxe Kit that will be given to players who have been paying for sims4 as a free gift to thank them for enjoying the free version of sims4.
However, the Desert Luxe Kit has not yet been distributed to console players in Japan.
I saw an answer on ea's question board that said "Due to Japanese law, Desert Luxe Kit cannot be distributed to Japanese console players".
There is no detailed explanation that would convince me. There are no solid announcements by official reports.
I am angry and saddened by this response, as I have been enjoying playing sims4 by purchasing the full game and dlc for a fee, even though I have had to put up with many unresolved bugs. It seems that Japanese console players are being disrespected.
I hope that Desert Luxe Kit will be distributed to Japanese console players as well.
If this is not possible, please provide a satisfactory explanation and announcement.
I looked it up. "Players in Japan cannot redeem the Desert Luxe kit for free as part of the loyalty offer due to local laws against such offers."
Japan has laws against loyalty offers as marketing? My mind is blown.
If an indie team of Paralives of 20 people can be making a game with a lot of base game things included, you know EA is mismanaging the Sims team. They have a TON of competition now in simulation games. They'll lose players if they don't keep up. I mean even modders do better mods for the game than EA. At least they're trying to catch up I guess??
facts
Yeah better mods and for free most of the time lol I don't want to have to pay every time I want a new hairstyle. I hate the base hairstyles.
What is a Ton? Because I only know if 1 other game; and that being Paralives
the mod platform honestly is really exciting, they're going for a Skyrim approach, which means that the sims 4 will never really die due to mods
I just ps4/5 dose not limit mods like they did for Skyrim.. that really disappointed me..
Haven't thought about that. That's cool!
Not sure how I feel about this. Are they going to allow adult oriented mods or will there be s censored selection?
@@periankalon5100 probably not..
Sims 4 has already been dead for a lot of us unfortunately :(
As someone who abandoned this series shortly after the launch of the Sims 4, this little look at Rene gives me a lot of hope. The simple feature of retexturing an object is such a powerful feature in Sims 3 that its absence in Sims 4 was sorely felt. As long as this new title includes all life stages at its launch, I think it's a safe bet I'll be there on day one.
false hope. No touch grass moment came for EA to do something different this time. It will be the same cashgrab like sims 4 with 50+dlcs.
What we really want is to be able to build walls on half tiles.

Also alt.

I've reverted back to playing Sims 3 lately for the "Create a Style" feature. Seeing a team dedicated to "Project Renee" to bring patterns and a color wheel brightened my morning. 😄 Tho can we get more testers for these changes so they don't break my game while running multiple packs? That would be awesome.
Yeah, except it looks just like Paralives. Wonder where they got their inspiration from.
@@nedrane297 Oh, you tell no lies. Paralives totally spooked them to actually move on this 😂 Bet they won't leave it out in the next game.
@@nedrane297 and paralives is inspired by EA.
@@en7252 yea but sims 5 is inspired by paralives i mean the graphics look identical you could tell me they're the same game and i would believe you
In my opinion what Sims 5 needs isn't superficial looks but solid gameplay content!
My favorite part is the fact that they encourage their customers to make mods and CC I think that is so amazing
Everyone cry about "I want this and this" in the game, which is impossible for them to listen to everyone, so suporting the modding community (who is larger and more close to the players) is great to give what player want
@@aqueleraffa2009 Yeah - their way of not doing any work but taking credit for work they don't do. Lol
@@devoutburrito Crying again? You don't like EA? Simple, don't play their game and go play something else

@@devoutburrito Who hurt YOU. I'm not the one being upset for a company not doing what I want
From what I could see, Sims 5 currently includes:
- Platforms
- Clutter (free placement)
- Colour wheel
- Patterns
- Free move and tilt for objects
- Customizable parts for furniture
- Toilets have slots
- Doors with customizable hooks and racks
- Apartments
- Multi-platform synching updated in real time, can be used between multiple users
- Gallery for sharing and downloading rooms
They’re starting off strong with this one! Please feel free to add to the list if you caught something I didn’t
I am having some trouble seeing how a game can be top quality while working both on PC and your damn phone?
theres also apartments! if you look in the shot where theyre showing off the mobile gameplay, if you look in the left corner it says “apartment selection”!!!!
@@carmenwinstead693 yes I saw! Very cool that we’ll (hopefully) be getting them in the base game 🤗
@@norryvamp Yes, this is my worry.
@@annhitchins5800 for me, phone game instantly involves microtransactions.
So your big reveal is that you’re watching what Paralives is doing and replicating it? Awesome glad I wasted 30 minutes. I will still be supporting and playing paralives, the life sims genre needs more.
I'm not trying to defend ea but they also mentioned
-free base game
-2 new expansion packs
-baby update
-mod and cc manager
And had both a celebration of the sims as a series and those who make up our community

@@deadmeme9031 -free base game - most simmers already bought it

-People who couldn't afford the base game exsist, also new players come with making your game free, that's just marketing
-Also obviously it won't, I don't even play ts4 for anything other than cas lmao, I just think that we gotta realize this was never FOR announcements, it was for celebration
-again obviously, but isn't the saying rather late than never?
-younger Sims fans or people who aren't good with computers might struggle to install mods and cc, and compiling cc into one place will make it easier on those people, not everything is for you
They finally acknowledged the custom content creators. If it wasn’t for CC I would never play the game.
I am actually so impressed they included the sims freeplay 😭😭 the update we've been waiting for like 10 years
this could have been an email... would love to see the amount of money that went into production and advertising for this event go toward improving the sims 4
and why was a dance number necessary??
It was never supposed to be just announcements though, it was always advertised as a celebration of the sims 4 becoming free, unlike a normal Sims Livestream which is usually for updates and gameplay
@@deadmeme9031 celebration of wokism and LGBT yes , celebration of sims for sure not actually.
@@krokrokrokro boy what the hell are you talking about
@@666-bpm The language of the gods probably
30:20 WOOOW, she just announced a feature Sims 3 already had decades ago. So this was the plan on removing the style maker in Sims 4, so you can put it back in and sell it as a brand new feature. And it only took years to implement it again. That's a huge step forward and a technical milestone. WOOOOW
TLDR EA saw how much hype was behind the indie game Paralives made by French developers (more on that in a bit). So they throw together a (very) short demo where they show resizing, pattern changing, and color changing of objects (hint, all shown to be IN Paralives). So now they announce Project Rene, Rene is a proper name of French ^ origin meaning reborn.
This is them being scared shitless because Paralives is going to do to The Sims what Cities Skylines did to Sim City (that is to "kill it completely")
@@cappie2000 Exactly
You’re pretending like paralives didn’t copy it’s entire concept from the sims tho...
@@jaybee4288 The simulation genre is not owned by The sims though... Its not like its copyrighted.
Whats funny is that they made the game look better then it is, not a single clip was from the base game of sims 4. You would have to spend $200+ to get your game looking that custom and beautiful. sad
a lot of those clips had custom content too xD
Yeah, most of the sims 4 clips were specifically from cinematic trailers that are 100% not actual gameplay. they always have to fake ts4 looking fun...sigh 😭
Imagine being so scared by an indie developer who started showing you up that you need to steal their ideas and look...Rene looks JUST like Paralives. No freaking shame.
I am excited for the baby update , it's about time
They look like toddlers. They didn't even try
What’s the betting it’s a pack and not a free update
Will it even work?
When’s the baby update coming out
I won't buy Paralives and I won't buy the Sims 5 either, need something new.
Be prepared for them to split babies, seasons, professions, night life, vacations, etc all into separate 60 dollar expansion packs, and then nickel and dime you further for furniture packs, neighborhoods, etc at 20 bucks a pop
*EA barely doing the minimum*
ppl: omgg i love it
EA could literally tell the community themselves that they hate us and don't care for our opinions and simmers would still thank them for it
That's basically the story of Star Citizen too lmao

If I were Paralives, I would sue EA. no inspiration, direct labor theft. just the interface is different. I expected better from EA. Also, it's ridiculous that babies come years later. Even if you just design a sims2 and sims3 mix and release it as a new game, it will sell more. sims4 has always been a buggy and soulless game. designing houses and people is great! but when it comes to gameplay it's a disgrace. It's still on my sims2 computer to enjoy the game I'm playing. I hope you don't disappoint us in your new sims game. Otherwise, I will not look at the sims series again.
I can guarantee y'all that EA is gonna release The Sims 5 earlier than Paralives (because Paralives got EA's boot's quivering lol) and it's gonna be like The Sims 4 release all over again... A incomplete game filled with bugs and missing content lmaoooo
I'm just saying both have been in development for about the same amount of time (this is shown through licensing and copyright stuff) Also Paralives hasn't shown any gameplay of livemode as far as I've seen (correct me if I'm wrong) so for all we know at this current moment it could be just as shallow as ts4 (I hope it isn't but again we don't know)
@@deadmeme9031 paralives have shown off their live mode i believe 4 times. they reveal more stuff on their discord than their youtube channel
@@ABMS721 Oh alright thank you, I wasn't aware of that lol :)
I had no expectations and somehow I'm *still* disappointed
I can actually see why The Sims has tanked over the years. These people are so out of touch with the players.
Tanked? Out of touch? We still love the Sims and I'm pretty sure that the players base is growing, which is very impressive for an 8 year old game. Also if you watched any reaction video/stream you know that the players loved the summit.
@@ΙάσοναςΑλιφέρης-χ7ξ I think the OP was insinuating that the game has tanked in overall quality, which it honestly has. It isn't quite as fun to play as TS2 and TS3, even all these years later. EA being out of touch with the players is a complaint that has been around for most of the life of Sims 4, profound concerns about missing elements and ignored issues. It's nothing remotely new.
*"...if you watched any reaction video/stream you know that the players loved the summit."* If I watched the reaction video of streamers whose livelihoods revolve around Sims 4? Whose followers expect positivity and hopefulness? The ones who have professed (for years) unconditional love for the game? Those streamers? Lol I'm not surprised that they 'loved' it, most of them usually find something to love even in the worst packs/updates. It isn't all sunshine & rainbows 100% of the time, but anyone who actually streams their gameplay or lot builds or reactions is more than likely a big fan, someone who will probably react positively to most things Sims related, regardless. The announcement of the next generation of Sims is going to garner positive reactions from hardcore fans almost no matter what.
If you go into comment sections of articles, or in forum threads or reddit or other platforms where players can express their feelings across a wide spectrum, THEN you'll see the real-world complaints and concerns. Not sure if you're working-age, but it's like how corporate is often out of touch with the workers, the people on the ground who actually deal with the disgruntled customers or outdated/useless systems. As far as corporate is, concerned, everything is great! But ask the people who actually have to DEAL with the mess every day. You'll get the truth lol.
By the end of this stream the live chat was basically the chaos fighting school scene from mean girls

My facial expressions through the entire summit:🤔🙄😮😑 I must be an ungrateful simmer cause I'm over it😂 the visuals were cute tho. The "new project" looks like sims 4, sims mobile and paralives had a baby🤔😂

what? Paralives is doing exactly that to the sims franchise!
@@ThetaSigma-vu1sk the difference is that the Paralives team has stated from the beginning they were making a game based on The Sims and couldn't even use many features because EA patented them. EA - a big company - doesn't even have the decency to acknowledge they're ripping off something the Paralives team - a team made of indie game developers - have made. This is like a worldwide famous singer copying a fan's song inspired by them and claiming as their own just because the fan's song is better.

I only really liked the baby reveal tbh, the project rene looks more like a building focused mobile app - reminds me of AR home design apps mixed with paralives mechanics which personally is not what I had hoped in regards to their next game I wanted it to be more gameplay focused but hey this is extremely early so who knows
its years away, this is what transparency looks like.
I really enjoy building in the sims 4 but even i didn’t like the look of it. I like building in the sims 4, not what that is. There’s a reason I play the sims 4 and not house design apps or whatever.

how did i know they would show off barely anything, congrats guys, pack it up
All they had to do was combine what was great in the sims 1, 2 & 3 with better graphics and make it run smoothly.

Warning to all new sims players almost all sims 4 expansions are broken no joke. I've spent so much on broken stuff from them
You didn't even need to call a grobal star just to show us A BABY CRAWLING
Y'all should add Plumbella, Fake Gamer Girl and Call Me Kevin next time. They deserve recognition too. Also to new simmers don't buy a pack just because it looks cool and fun make sure you research into it first. Learned that first hand.
Okay, for the people saying that they haven´t announced The Sims 5. EVERY game goes by a codename while in early development stages. Project Rene is a codename that will later be changed to 5 or something else. GTA VI is also currently called Project Americas, the 3 new upcoming Assasins Creed games also have codenames. Codename Red, Codename Jade and Codename Hexe. They're prototype names. So relax, lol. They just revealed the game extremely early, hence the current name.

People want this Sims 5 so bad because of how BROKEN the Sims 4 is. People are antsy about an announcement because they want to play a game that works
@@Obionthetube not to mention it’s been 8 YEARS since the last release
@@Bluehoshiflower To be honest I was also expecting it to be at least a bit more advanced by now. My guess is that they literally just started development hence why they just showed like 2/3 new mechanics for build mode. But I was kinda expecting this as Jeff Grubb stated that the new game would be announced this month but that it was still really far away. This pretty much matches what he said. But this is ¨Sims 5¨ nonetheless. So they did announce it, even if it didn't quite match what people were waiting for.
Really not sure about this whole thing where they host mods and custom content instead of it being external. It seems like a way to get out of fixing their game themselves, and reminds me of Skyrim Anniversary's creator thing, that just made my game even buggier than before
My weirdest story took place in Sims 3. A family adopted a robot (Plumbot) for household chores. The robot was sick of it and rode away on the family's unicorn, moved to a new town and put the town square on fire 😂😂😂
Tbh, idk what I was expecting but it wasn't this 😂 I think they did a nice job putting together a cute little show!
The hosts were pure cringe
Would rather they put tht money and effort into the game
Plot twist Paralives is undercover development of Sims 5 (Project Rene) 💀
I don’t get why everyone is hating 😂 I mean I get it eight years for this but I’m so EXCITED! I can’t wait for the babies update!!!!
me after waiting for days: 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
After seeing this, I REALLY hope Paralives takes the sims’ place
What if Paralives has been Project Rene this whole time? Like a covert ops group of EA developers releasing what they have so far for market research?
And we all help "test the new Sims updates" not knowing we're really helping build a entirely new game 🤔🤨🤔
@@MudderToad terrifying. never say it again.
@LifeRx because Sims is SOOO realistic? Seriously?
Could you collab with cc creators and Moders to make game packs , expansion packs and stuff packs
I haven't been this disappointed in a long time 😭😖
at least we're gonna get some kind of baby update
I hope so because for now it looks more like a todler update rather then a baby one 😭
@@jasmijnvangils2650 that is quite literally a baby lmfao
@@Alfie_clown I know but the baby here looks much older then the babys we have now
@@jasmijnvangils2650 yeah the child looked more like a toddler than a baby but the adult sim said "nooboo" which means a baby in simlish.
Honestly babies should’ve been like that from the beginning
That "Project Rene" is a proof that EA got all sweaty after Paralives videos xD so basically they are trying desperately to keep up with an indie game, how hilarious xD
I really missed the open world that was the Sims 3 where you can move everywhere in the map with real time simulation (almost) and with zero loading screens (also almost) I hope Project Rene will have this.
mmmmm it was good until 64564 expansions came out and then everything was soooooooooooooo slow because of the open world
@@FloraInWonderland that's true. I can play full Sims 4 in ultra mode but I cab barely play full Sims 3 in medium mode. And sims 3 graphics sucks if they're not at least some high resolution...
@@Pumpkin_Adam I know that was very slow. But imagine with the actual PC hardware: Sims 4 gameplay + Sims 3 open world=🤯
I definitely think Project Rene should have open world.
I think the Sims 5 should have open neighborhoods instead. Sometimes I just wanna focus on one sim. Constantly focusing on multiple sims while one sim travels out of the house can be stressful af to me 💀
absolutely getting some inspiration from Paralives! But I think that's great - Paralives is going to be awesome, and hopefully this pushes the sims team to listen to the players and give us these great customization features
It looks like they saw Paralives and said "let's copy this but change it just a little tiny bit" EA really lacks originality nowadays
paralives is literally a copy of the sims... tbh they probly started the rene project before paralives even thought about it. I mean come on... look at it... it's literally a copy of the sims but with the typical knock off hipster indie look to it.
You do realise sims 5 and Paralives have both been in development for years 😬
@@echolightning604 yes I was hoping to hear an update on Sims 5
@@audriannak.9973 The games aren't even out yet they're still developing it. But I'm sure you can do better 😊
Wow thank god I didn't watch this live... imagine waiting 30 minutes for sims 5 announcement and it still wasn't announced
That's the problem with this game. Instead of focusing on fixing the issues they already have, they release broken packs, and move on to other things that don't matter. Fix. The. Broken. Packs. FIX THE WEDDINGS! FIX DINE OUT! STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE THINGS YOU CAN DO NEXT! WORRY ABOUT FIXING THE PROBLEMS YOU ALREADY HAVE!
I’M BEGGING FOR HORSES AND FAIRIES TO COME BACK 😩😩
Yes fairies in wicked whims must be so excellent !! :D
Me and my mom are both simmers and we miss the horses. We don’t understand why they didn’t put it in the college living pack
@@They.luv.SJ101 we love the college living pack
Dear Sims team,
I want to see fairies and genies make a comeback. Ballet and stuff like that from "freeplay" would be great, too.
Thank you.
Why would you prefer that before preteens? They literally just added a new lifestage but still no news about PRETEENS.
love how even during the sims 5 announcement the live chat was saying “okay but what about sims 5”
Why does Paralives literally have everything they just announced? You can literally pull things to the size /length you want them to not just but em down and have a colorwheel (aka paralives and sims 3 just woohoed in the bush.)
Hey 2 things
1) paralives stated they don't wanna be compared to the sims like this on multiple occasions
2) Paralives and Sims 5 have probably been in development for a very similar time, the difference is EA doesn't talk about what they are doing behind the scenes while paralives has been open
I hope the baby update will have several Life Stages like Newborn, Supported Sitter, Sitter, and Finally Crawler. And at the end of the Crawler Stage, you can teach your baby to Walk, and then it becomes and Toddler.
That's overkill. I'm ok with just 2 stages before toddler (the original babies (newborn), then the crawling one). The other stuff you mentioned can be the levels of a skill in the second stage
@@moonbyulschair9533 No, I don't think so I want to have the complete experience of raising babies on the Sims 4.
Did I miss a page or something? Didn't they want to show 2 expansion pack infos? Did I miss something, like for real?
I'm wondering the same 🤔😶🌫
9:27 says "New Worlds" with two frames, implying two new expansion packs
But they didn't provide any info after that
Didn't really give too much any info about that. Just said two new worlds really
The baby just looks like a toddler...?
Am not kidding, The Sims helped me through the pandemic. I needed an outlet outside work to get my creativity or something to “go outside”. I’ve been flipping through The Sims 1,2, 3 and 4. Thank you Maxis! I know the game is not perfect but none the less it helped me through a rough patch. ❤ here’s to hoping for a good future for The Sims
Not including CallMeKevin in the simmers segment was an insult to Jim Pickens, god how much can this game be milked.....
To everyone making fun of the sims being forced to innovate because of paralives, please understand that this is how innovation works. If you have a monopoly on the genre, that’s how you end up with the original sims 4 base game. When you have competition, you have to innovate to keep ahead. It only benefits us players.
okay but at the same time at least be a little bit original??
Exactly!
@@shmebulocck any ideas?
@@shmebulocck True, but this is just an early look. I wouldn’t be surprised if by the time the game came out it looked completely different. Most games early look looks way different than the final product. Same goes for the gameplay and whatnot.
But there comes a point where you cross the line of inspiration and copying and this looks like copying from the interface to the art style and functionality
Well, aside from all the negative comments below... One good thing about the next Sims game is that they are giving us a choice of playing alone or with other friends which is great. Also, it seems that EVERYTHING is going to be highly customizable as well, which is really great if you like to get super creative with your homes, etc. 5 top things I am personally hoping for in the future are...
1. Way better updated graphics(what they showed off looked similar to graphical fidelity in the Sims 4 but again they said it's VERY early development and graphics usually get finished towards the release of a video game).
2. Way smarter and next-gen AI, from physics to more life-like and realistic/smart Sim interactions, especially with NPC's.
3. A whole Sims economy in the game, with the ability to work numerous jobs, run businesses, and be able to actually make money or go and support a friends business in the game to help them make money. For example I can get a job as a barista and other people can come to the store and tip me money if they like my drinks, giving me the option to make more than the standard paycheck, etc.
4. All different weather types and conditions, from rain to snow or even hurricanes, etc. Or again at the very least, different moderate weather and seasons.
5. Actual driveable cars, or bring back cars to the game even if it's AI driven like the Sims 3.
*Bonus* - I would also love the gameplay to expand. For example, if I am at home cooking, there should be a mini-game where when you cook, there's certain meters you have to time and hit and if done successfully you'll get a boost in food quality so that maybe your Sim stays fuller longer, or if you do terribly the quality goes down and your Sim gets sick or gets hungry again quick. Things like that would elevate gameplay instead of just clicking and waiting to see what happens all the time.
What about you guys? What do you think?
So you pulled a Paralives?
They finally got a competitor
Dear EA.
This is the worst stream that I have ever seen. You mentioned new content for the sims freeplay and the sims mobile, but you barely mentioned anything for Sims 4. Also, the cringe-worthy dance number and the embarassing on-location segment just proves that you would rather spend money promoting the game rather than fixing it, and it's such a shame that over the past 20 years, you've been exploiting and taking advantage of us all by releasing everything behind paywalls. What a shame.
The Sims Freeplay's presentation looks awful, as the aging game engine already makes it obvious that it's on its way out. The Sims Mobile on the other hand, looks like it's only going to get worse with the ruthless monetization already made.
As for Project Renee, it just looks like you guys copied various features from Paralives and claimed it for yourselves. If the developers at Paralives found out you guys did this, prepare to get sued to hell. It also looks like it's just a mobile game running on PC.
And that teaser at the end where you improved the babies? Looks like that will be extremely buggy. What will happen to existing babies? Are you going to replace them or will these new babies will be a horrible glitchy mess that could potentially corrupt existing players' saves? Hopefully you guys will take the time to resolve these bugs and hopefully release them in a good state.
What a shame. This stream could have been good. But it wasn't. You have just played yourself with this event. Hopefully there will be more, but unfortunately, you guys gotta start fixing The Sims if you want your playerbase to respect you again.
Signed,
Silverio G.
Well said.
If we want the sims that we want, we will need one computer just for this game 😂
Be patient, people
Ok, here is a little sum-up for those who don't want to waste their time:
- Future two EPs for the following year.
- Mods now will be available in "Overwolf"?
- Anitta's behind-the-scenes is probably an early sneak peek of a Singer's career or Bands?
- New updates for The Sims FreePlay (A new appearance and some Yachts and things for Christmas) and The Sims Mobile (Balconies) in 2023
- Project RENE (The Sims 5 but just an early view of the future built mode (kinda like what Paralives is developing))
- Baby Update!!!!!!
That's it.
wow sims going crazy with paralives with those now place able pillows but really this is amazing and can't wait to see future updates
its integrating the tool mod, I'm excited for the mod platform and I really hope the modders I follow are on the trusted list cause they deserve it
"Paralives" is going to do to "The Sims" what "Cities Skylines" did to "Sim City" (that is, to kill it completely)
@@cappie2000 i wouldn't say kill them off but yea it really upsetting that paralives announce this type of news and sims just now start to do that sort of thing like what they are doing, i have to be honest when i think of rene it probably gonna most likely be the reboot of sims 3 and 2 (never played 2)
Calling it now. Project Rene is just going to be a house/furniture designing game and not a "real" The Sims game.
