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.

    So you get a barely working framework and pay for every gameplay feature that should be in by default…

      So the only thing that has changed is that you don’t have to pay for the “barely working” framework

      Yep. And then when you want more content and are willing to pay, you have to look through the equivalent of the Sears Catalogue of MTX trying to figure out what you want.

      It’s going to kill what remains of The Sims.
