The next instalment of EA’s life-sim madness is on it’s way, and it looks set to be the best one yet.
It’s been a while since we’ve had a new Sims game, and with seven years worth of The Sims 4 expansion packs, we are well overdue for the next instalment in the franchise.
The Sims 4 really stepped up the game in pretty much all avenues, including graphics and more character and house building options than ever before.
Which leads to the question, how will The Sims 5 play out? And does EA have any tricks up their sleeve to top the previous game?

EA has kept us busy during the wait for The Sims 5, with numerous updates and expansion packs for The Sims 4, such as the latest one Discover University, which adds a novel twist to the game.
At this time it seems like EA is keeping tight-lipped on details about the next instalment of The Sims, although information has been slowly trickling out recently about what the game will entail.
Plot details
As anyone familiar with The Sims franchise already knows, The Sims is at its core a life simulator that allows you to play God and control your characters’ lives, with increasing detail as the franchise has aged.
EA has hinted that the new instalment is made with a new generation in mind. What this means though, remains mainly a mystery.

Will this mean increased social media integration into The Sims? Vegan diet options perhaps? Only time will tell with this one.
However, we do know some details.
The Sims 5 will be kitted out with better graphics than ever, with much more customisation options to boot.

Alongside this will be a bucket load of new features, which has been rumoured to include better vehicles and full neighbourhood customisation.
But perhaps the most exciting new feature of all is the new online features, which EA has confirmed.
Online Features
That’s right, the feature fans have been waiting for all these years is going to be finally available on The Sims 5.
You will now be able to visit your friends’ creations for the very first time and hang out together in a similar way to Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
It could also mean that you can visit other players’ creations and meet new people which will add an interesting dynamic to the game and could also lead to some sabotage similarly to Minecraft if EA allows for it.
Release Date
Unfortunately, there is no talk of a release date any time soon, so it’s very unlikely we will be seeing The Sims 5 released this year.
The most likely course of action for EA will be to release it early 2021, but there is no fixed release date as of yet.
For now, you’ll have to stick to playing The Sims 4 – check out every cheat on the game to keep yourself entertained!
