The next Sims game currently goes under the name Project Rene rather than The Sims 5, but that aside, we know a growing amount about EA Maxis’ next social simulation. During today’s latest Behind The Sims community update, they shared more, including the news that the next entry in the series would be free-to-play and without energy mechanics or a subscription.

      I want to actually watch them do their jobs, too. Not just enter a building and forcing me to watch time go by for the 8 hours they are there. I don’t care if they’re just packing boxes for Samazon; I mean, I will watch them watching TV. Watching them do boring stuff isn’t that boring.

    Pretty sure they already had decent free to play Sims games on mobile a long time ago. Not sure how good the current one is.

    The current base game is free to play as well with paid DLC. So they are taking the form that works for them.

    People will by DLC if they want to and others get to enjoy a the base game for free.

    The Sims has been pretty shit since the Sims 3.

      Sims 4 base game is actually already free on steam. I hear from a good friend, not me personally, that it has some great porn mods on the lovers lab site. Some bad mods, too.
