One of the best things about The Sims 3 is that it feels like your household is part of a bigger neighbourhood, and one that you can freely explore without seeing a loading screen. However, in lieu of anything Sims 5-related actually happening though, we’re here to pull together the biggest requests from the community for The Sims 5 gameplay features.
It might not mean anything for The Sims 5, but it is certainly interesting. First spotted by a user on Reddit, a number of EA Maxis vacancies revealed the studio was ramping up a 'new, unannounced title', which it referred to as its 'next big production', asking for people specifically experienced in creating 'excellent user experiences for new IP'. It's also worth mentioning that back in January 2020, Maxis went on a huge hiring spree.
Interestingly, Maxis has started dabbling with some kind of timed Sims experiences in The Sims 4, with events like The Sims Sessions, which was a bit of a strange music festival that lacked the spectacle of other in-game events.
