The Sims 4 Shifts to Live Service Game, Fix for Critical Bug Delayed amidst Leaked Expansion Details
The Sims 5 is not anticipated for release in the near future. Maxis has shifted its strategy to pause numbered installments and focus on developing The Sims 4 as a fully-fledged live service game. This comes amidst a steady stream of new kits and expansions, even as the community has awaited a fix for nearly two years for a critical bug in the For Rent DLC that can corrupt older save files. Despite community concerns, Maxis reportedly assured players that a fix was in progress just days before announcing the next major The Sims 4 expansion. Simultaneously, EA inadvertently leaked not only details about upcoming paid content but also its roadmap for the coming months.
