The Sims 4 series has gotten a new Senior Producer – Michael Duke!
After previously working on The Sims Mobile, SimGuruDuke has made a significant switch as a Senior Producer for The Sims 4, the title which was previously taken by Grant Rodiek.
SimGuruLyndsay has made the announcement on Twitter saying that SimGuruGrant will still be around in Maxis, however working on other projects not related to The Sims 4.
I want to welcome @SimGuruDuke to TS4! Joining us from TSM, he’ll be our Sr Producer for TS4! Don’t worry, @SimGuruGrant is still working on a number of important and awesome Maxis things. It’s going to be a great year for The Sims and we can’t wait to show you what’s in store!

The title of The Sims 4’s senior producer was, before Grant Rodiek, previously taken by Lyndsay Pearson who is currently working as a General Manager for The Sims Franchise.
So Grant, yet again, moves onto the next-gen team, as he did after the Late Night release. With each announcement, The Sims 5 becomes more of a reality and I’m so happy to see that.
If Grant’s working on TS5 now, then all of TS4’s shortcomings are gonna follow him there. It seems that every time someone asks why a feature is missing, it’s because Grant didn’t want it in the game. He doesn’t like supernaturals, so there are only vampires; he doesn’t like family gameplay, so there’s only the Parenthood pack for that; he doesn’t like pet houses, so all pets have to sleep on are flimsy-looking mats; etc, etc.
I’m pretty sick and tired of the fact that the devs only add stuff he wants in a game that he doesn’t even play.
we can really rely on this.
