Electronic Arts popular free-to-play life-simulation video game franchise The Sims is breaking from tradition, with the gaming company confirming Tuesday that there are no plans for a The Sims 5 game as the successor to the current edition, The Sims 4.
Instead, The Sims 4, now a 10-year-old title and the longest-running installment in the franchises 25-year history, will continue to receive updates and paid expansions, most notably a multiplayer mode and partnering with some Sims players who develop their own custom content for the game to sell it through the EA store as Creator Kits.
