A new, brief update about The Sims Franchise direction has been shared by a reliable insider.
A new report has just been published by a reliable insider, just a few days after talking about Project X development direction with AI and other insider knowledge. This insider already predicted The Sims 4 Marketplace and revealed new talks of The Sims Project X – a new Sims Single Player experience in development by Maxis.
The latest short but not-so-sweet report contains insider knowledge about the current success of The Sims 4 Marketplace. According to the insider, it has already exceeded EA’s expectations.
When it comes to The Sims Project X, the insider claims that “EA is aware of Project X leaking“; which seems to have already changed the direction of development plans for this game. The insider claims that the community feedback on Project X leaks have already shifted discussions about necessary changes to the game. Including map and monetisation.
Read more in the report summary below:
Just got word from someone in the team on a couple of things;
- Marketplace has so far exceeded EA’s expectations, we don’t know what they were though.
- EA is aware of Project X leaking, and are overall not too happy with the communities response, they’re holding discussions on whether some direction changes are necessary. Things like how maps and monetisation will work. “Who knows though” was said by someone on the team if that gives you an idea of how often things are said and forgotten or not forgotten etc.
- They’re also working out ‘The Sims’ online presence as more communication seems to be making things worse at the moment, not better. Example;Players playing the For Rent pack and using the Residential Rentals has massively increased over the last 6 months, yet no real increase of anyone reporting save issues to match. Therefore EA have lowered the priority of communication on the issue when there’s no updates as it seems to make the general audience think it’s a larger scale issue than it is.
- Quite a few people at Maxis have concerns over job safety over the next few months. They’re concerned the need for as many developers won’t be necessary due to things like Gen AI and the lack of work in the industry has them worried.
That’s all I have for now.
