The Sims 4: How to Browse Intelligence

While everyone has been enjoying The Sims 4 over recent years, with plenty of expansions to stay busy, many are wondering what might be next for the popular franchise. News about the game many fans believe will be The Sims 5 first leaked under the code name Project Rene, and EA continues to use this name when discussing it.

Max has released a for the final episodes of the beloved DC superhero series. Two new episodes will debut on Thursday, October 12, followed by one new episode weekly through November 9.

The Sims 5, still officially known by the codename Project Rene, will be free-to-play. Further, the mega-popular life simulator, The Sims 4, will continue to receive new updates and peacefully cohabitate alongside it. We also got the down-low on the first new Stuff Pack in more than two-and-a-half years, if that wasn't enough.

The Sims 4's first Stuff Pack in two-and-a-half years arrives — Home Chef Hustle — has been given a release date, and will be introducing some hardcore small appliance action to all platforms from next Thursday, 28th September.

Tunes from Dan & Shay and Vic Mensa plus a genre-blending Hulu series “The Other Black Girl” set inside the world of publishing are some of the new television, movies, music and games headed to a device near you

Hometopia is an upcoming simulation game that genuinely sparks so much excitement deep within me. It blends all of my favorite House Flipper qualities with The Sims 4’s own dollhouse-esque vibes, creating an irresistible wholesome gameplay experience. Hometopia is all about what you can create, whether you choose to design your dream home or a Barbie-inspired mansion. The fun doesn’t end there, though, as the game actually supports co-op so you can build alongside your friends.

The Sims 4 is my long-standing favorite simulation game, and it has a lot to do with its constant incoming stream of new content. EA releases regular new packs for the game steadily, whether those be in the form of smaller kits or bigger expansions with new worlds and more. The latest pack revealed by EA is none other than a cooking-themed stuff pack for The Sims 4. It brings a little bit of everything to help your Sims live out their wildest chef-related dreams with it, from new kitchen decorations to recipes.

EA will make money on the game from content expansions and other microtransactions.

The next entry in The Sims series, codenamed Project Rene, will be available to play without a core game purchase or subscription at launch.

Lyndsay Pearson, VP of franchise creative for The Sims at Maxis Studios, confirmed on Tuesday that The Sims 5 (currently titled Project Rene) will be free to download across all platforms when it launches following a since removed job listing published in June that stated the title would be free-to-enter. 

EA has confirmed that The Sims 5, currently under development at Maxis as Project Rene, will be “free to download” in the newest Behind The Sims video released for the game. Essentially, this means that players will be able to jump into the game and play around without having to make any purchases or pay for any subscriptions. This confirms an earlier job listing that suggested that the game would be “free to join”.

The Sims 5, also knows as Project Rene, was announced last year, though further details on the title are pretty light so far. We've only had a few job listings and a handful gameplay features to go off of since then, with more recent rumors suggesting the title will be free-to-play when it does launch. Thankfully, publisher EA came out with some more details earlier today, confirming that the game will be "free to download" and that it will exist alongside The Sims 4.
