As someone who has been playing The Sims franchise since the year 2000 I am extremely excited by the thought of a brand new version of the game. We have officially run the course of The Sims 4 for maybe players, and honestly, The Sims 5 would be welcomed with open arms at this point.

- Sims 3 looks incredibly outdated because of the graphics and if 4 had realistic graphics when it came out it would also look outdated by now. I think they should stick with the more 'cartoony' feel and then add more realistic touches to that, things like body hair and more facial features would be the best bet in my opinion.
- Sims 5 on Steam? Many Sims players have complained over the years due to having to use Origin to play the game. In recent news, however, The Sims 4 has made its way to Steam, which means The Sims 5.
The only problem? We are still unaware of the official release date for The Sims 5 at this time and just have some speculation, job listings, and random tidbits to work on. This article will be updated any time something new comes out about The Sims 5, and we are excited to think about the prospect of this new simulation game.
They have never said that the sims 5 isn't in development. They have only said that the sims 4 has a lot of life left and at least 3 more years. This does not rule out the sims 5 being in development as it takes years to create a game. So with that in mind, the sims 5 is very likely in some sort of development. Origin, EA Games’ PC gaming subscription and associated download manager, doesn’t have a great reputation. That’s primarily because people love to hate EA, the birthplace of classics like Dead Space, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Army of Two, Titanfall, and The Sims and reputed source of many anti-consumerist woes.
The Sims 5 Release Date
Since there is no official release date announced as of now, it is extremely unlikely that we are going to see the newest game in The Sims franchise in 2021. The earliest I could imagine we will get The Sims 5 is sometime in fall of 2022 but even that is wishful thinking.
The Sims 5 Recent News and Updates
New Job Listings for Concept Artists
In Fall of 2018, there were new job postings put on the official EA Careers page for a senior concept artist (character) and a senior concept artist (environment) which would be working on The Sims 5 and its initial creation.
There were also listings for other jobs as well including a gameplay software engineer, a software engineer, a character modeler, and an executive producer.
Sim Guru Grant Leaving The Sims 4 Team
In Spring of 2019, Sim Guru Lyndsay had made an announcement that Sim Guru Grant (Grant Rodiek) was no longer going to be working on The Sims 4 but would be “working on a number of important and awesome Maxis things.”
This was the first moment when players realized that The Sims 5 may be starting to be developed, because Senior Producers on previous titles often leave the current title to work on the next iteration.
Grant was also one of the first producers to move from The Sims 3 team to The Sims 4 team showing a pattern in Grant’s work at EA. It only makes sense that Grant Rodiek was moving from The Sims 4 team to The Sims 5 team!
PS5 Magazine Leak
In the exciting lead up to the release of the Playstation 5, there was a playstation magazine article about some upcoming games that would be available for PS5 and one of which caught simmers attention.
The article said that The Sims 5, developed by Maxis had a to be determined release date and the red filled in circle meant it would be at least 12 months before the new game was released, but at least we learned it WILL be released on console.
EA CEO Third Quarter Earnings Call
In a 2020 earnings call for EA, the CEO Andrew Wilson was asked a question about the future of The Sims and if there would be a remake of the popular The Sims Online title allowing players to play together instead of only alone like we are now used to.
In this call Wilson made it obvious that thinking about The Sims as an online experience is definitely in the books and they will be adding some aspect of online play to the game at some point.
Unreal Engine
There were more interesting job listings posted, with information about how EA is looking for employees who can bring the new sims game into the world using C++, Python and Unreal Engine to help create the game.
The Sims 5 Official Trailer
Unfortunately, at this time there has not been an official trailer released for The Sims 5 but there have been many fake trailers released on Youtube over the years since The Sims 4 was released. Below I’ve embedded a few trailers that have gotten people excited, even though they are not released by EA or The Sims in any way.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Sims 5
Will it be on Steam?
At some point in 2020, EA released ALL of The Sims 4 on steam a very popular gaming store that a ton of games are on for purchase. This makes it seem as if The Sims 5 will also be available on steam in addition to origin, but we don’t know this for sure at this time.
Will The Sims 5 Have an Open World?
One huge gripe a lot of simmers have about The Sims 4 is the lack of open world that we had gotten very used to in The Sims 3. This makes it hard for your sims to feel real because you are constantly sitting through loading screens instead of them easily moving with cars or walking to another location.
Because of this an open world is one of the most important wish list items for The Sims 5 but at this point we don’t know if The Sims 5 will have an open world, but we can hope that it will.
How Much Will The Sims 5 Cost?
As of writing this article we do not yet have a confirmed price for The Sims 5, however, we can base a good guess off the price of The Sims 4 when it was released in 2014. There were two versions of The Sims 4 at release, the deluxe edition for 69.99 or the regular edition for 59.99 so we can expect The Sims 5 to probably be around this price range if the game is the same concept as the previous titles.
Will The Sims 5 Have DLC?
One of the biggest ways that EA makes money from The Sims is through expansion packs for the game that add new gameplay. This makes it seem that they would definitely have different types of DLC for The Sims 5, although, we don’t yet have information on future packs for The Sims 5.
Will The Sims 5 Be Available on Console?
It should be! There was a leak about The Sims 5 being available on the PS5 in the Playstation Magazine, so it is likely that it will be available for purchase on both Xbox and Playstation.
Final Thoughts
Although we don’t yet know much information about The Sims 5, we can always speculate based on interesting information released on EA Careers and interviews with the CEO. There is definitely another version of the sims coming at some point in the next few years, we just don’t fully know what that will look like. It may be online, it may be multiplayer, we may not know for a while. Happy playing!
Sims 4 Origin Key
Origin, EA Games’ PC gaming subscription and associated download manager, doesn’t have a great reputation. That’s primarily because people love to hate EA, the birthplace of classics like Dead Space, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Army of Two, Titanfall, and The Sims and reputed source of many anti-consumerist woes. Is Origin really as bad as people say, or are they letting their opinion of its parent company bring a good app down?
An acceptable download manager for EA’s vast game vault
A download manager that’s inseparable from your opinion of the games on offer
Origin is the name of a PC gaming service from game developers Electronic Arts and the name of the download manager you use to get those PC games onto your computer. It’s a subscription-based service, which means you’ll need to sign up to download and use the manager. Origin currently offers a 7-day trial, after which you’ll need to make a decision.
Currently, available subscription options are Origin Access Basic and Origin Access Premier. Both give you free access to a catalog of around 70 - 100 games, called The Vault. It’s worth bearing in mind that the games available in the Vault depend on your geographic location. Depending on the level of subscription you purchase, you will also have access to other benefits, like a premium tier of high-ticket games, early access to newly released games, discounts on new game purchases, and access to micro-transactions called MTX bonuses.
The download manager itself is very acceptable. Since you can only use it to download the games you’ll be accessing via your subscription, it’s hard to look at in isolation - how good you think it is will be inextricably linked to how good you think the related games are. The manager interface is perfectly fine, although not particularly cool. If you’ve used any other game hub or manager, you’ll get to grips with it quickly. There’s a library, store, space to connect with your friends, and space to modify or change your subscription.
Downloads from Origin are fast and you can play before a game is entirely downloaded. There’s also an offline mode, perfect for traveling, and you’ll be able to import any PC games you have and view them via the manager, which makes for more central management. Even though games are downloaded to your computer (and not stored in the cloud), you will be able to save some games to the cloud, which makes them accessible from different computers (but you can only run one copy of Origin on any computer at the one time).
The platform is also pretty good for multiplayer and online gaming. Building out your friends groups is pretty intuitive, and there are built-in voice and text chat options, for communicating with them. Once you’ve paid for your Origin subscription, you’ll have access to pro customer support and there’s also online and social media help. It’s probably best not to turn to Google in times of troubleshooting, though, as there’s an awful lot of Origin and EA hate out there.
Where can you run this program?
You can download the Origin client to Mac and Windows.
Is there a better alternative?
To play EA games? No, not really. You can still buy the games on offer and play them on your PC, but if you want a centralized hub or the free access to the Vault games, this download manager is the only option. In terms of other PC game hubs, however, Steam probably pips it to the post. There are other alternatives, of course, but each one is generally limited to games from the same manufacturer as the hub itself, and that’s ultimately what’s going to influence your choice.
Our take
It’s hard to talk about Origin without talking about EA games, and that’s something that you’ll see echoed all over the internet. In itself, the download manager is... ok. It stores the games centrally, gives you access to new ones and your friends and it does it all fairly competently, if not impressively. Somehow, using it just doesn’t feel as nice as Steam, but it’s a perfectly acceptable user experience regardless.
When you look at the manager in the context of the games, however, your opinions are likely to change significantly. Looking through the Vault it should be immediately obvious if you’re interested in the games or not and, if you’re thinking of a Premier Access subscription, you’ll assess the premium games that are likely to be on offer. If the results of both please you, or if you’re a die-hard EA games fan, there’s not much in it - this is the platform for you.
If you’re not terribly interested in EA games, however, there’s not much to recommend it. And, again looking at the premium tier, users have been commenting that if you’re not much into sports games, there isn’t a lot for you. Since the manager is attached to a subscription, and the subscription is attached to a fee, if you’re not feeling the games catalog, there’s really nothing special you need to stick around to see.
Should you download it?
Yes, sure, if you’re a fan of EA Games and willing to pay a monthly subscription fee, download the manager. It’s a perfectly acceptable app that will connect you to the world of EA without issue.
