With the announcement that Maxis intends to stick withThe Sims 4for the next few years at least,the studio is asking fans what they want to see in future expansions and some of the options sound fantastic. Despite being over a decade old,The Sims 4is still churning out content and it won’t be slowing down any time soon despite the game’s rapidly declining technical state. The community may have mixed feelings about the constant onslaught of DLC purchases, but Maxis still has plenty of ideas in the bank.
Over on Reddit, useriheartcupquakesshared an official Maxis survey that requests players list what they’d like to see in futureSims 4expansions,including a “modern monarchy” and a “gritty city” filled with vigilantes and criminals.
While both of those choices sound fairly reasonable forThe Sims 4,some options are particularly exciting, especially the “vibrant ocean world” themed around diving and exploring the sea. Sci-fi enthusiasts can even vote for a cyberpunk-inspired expansion that allows Sims to forge a living in a neon-soaked city that’s been corrupted by rampant technology and experimentation.
Does The Sims 4 Need More Expansions?
EA Certainly Seems To Think So
The Sims 4is already an expensive experiencefor anyone who wants to enjoy every DLC pack, but EA is intent on keeping the life-sim going. With the announcement thatThe Sims 5won’t happen any time soon, the community is beginning to question whether the fourth game should grow any larger given that each subsequent expansion seems to technically break the game. With so much additional content, it seems like a good idea to simply move forward to a sequel.
WhileThe Sims 5dream may be dead, some of the suggested expansions forThe Sims 4do sound like a great time. It’s always fun when Maxis goes beyond the norm and allows players to experiment with different worlds, mechanics, and career paths. Aside from the undersea exploration DLC,another exciting addition to the game could be the archeology-themed expansionthat would allow Sims to dig up dinosaur fossils and explore ancient civilizations.
10 Things You Still Didn’t Know You Could Do In The Sims 4
The Sims 4 has had content added to it over the span of a decade, and that’s left plenty of features hidden in the game that players might not find.
At this point,The Sims 4seems like an unstoppable force of nature that is destined to stick around longer than many fans ever expected.Maxis still has plenty of work to do when it comes to providing a stable experiencethat’s capable of supporting the wealth of DLC released over the years; a massive overhaul of the game may be what’s required. Even though potentially playing as a masked vigilante could be fun, one has to wonder if it wouldn’t beeven more enjoyable inThe Sims 5.
