The CEO of EA also confirmed that Maxis wants completely update the game and release a new generation of it. Obviously, this is not about reworking the fourth part, but about creating a new full-fledged game - The Sims 5.
Multi-user mode
In the same interview, the CEO of Electronic Arts stated that the team wishes add two modes to the game at once - multiplayer and single-player. He was asked if the MMO component would become something similar to the business trips of the stars from The Sims 3, but the head assured that this would not happen.

New opportunities for character creation
The 2021 job listing has added some more interesting information to us. For example, one of the key positions in the list is senior character editor artist. This means that EA is actively working on it now. Not surprising, because without this mode there can be no game itself, since it is based on sims, their uniqueness and unusualness.
The artist must create the initial look of the characters and their clothes. Since the developers have moved on to looking for such employees, it means that the main "skeleton" of the game is already ready, and now it is being filled with content.
The character creation editor has always been a breakthrough in every part of the game. The Sims 4 was the first on the market to give players the ability to change their Sims with the mouse, as if you were sculpting them out of clay. After the Sims, many other igrodely stole this chip. So from the fifth part of the game it is worth waiting for a new breakthrough in this matter.

CC becomes canon
The same list of vacancies this year has another interesting position - a game designer. However, it is not so much she who is curious as the list of duties of this person. EA is looking for an employee who knows popular mods and CC for The Sims 4. If the developers paid attention to this, then they finally paid attention to what the fans so desire. This inspires hope that The Sims 5 will finally begin to fulfill the wishes of the gaming community of this mega-popular life simulator.
When is The Sims 5 coming out?
Maxis is constantly looking for new people to develop the fifth part. For example, just a couple of days ago they posted an ad about looking for a person who will help make the interface for their new project.
How does this relate to release date? This vacancy became the first where the accurate term has been specified. Developers need an interface designer for the next 2 years. This means that waiting for the game in 2021 is not worth it. Most likely she will appear on the screens of fans by the end of 2022, or already in 2023.
Interesting facts about Sims 5
All information about the new EA release had to be collected bit by bit from different sources. However, there is quite a lot of data, and not all of them can be officially verified. Here are some facts that are very reliable, but have not been conclusively confirmed:
- Developers are planning to add support for user-generated content. Mods can now be downloaded directly from the official Origin launcher. It is not yet clear if scenario mods will be available, i.e. new professions, interaction options, etc., but custom clothing, hairstyles, makeup, etc. will definitely appear in the game.
- The Sims 5 team has leaked a rumor that in the new game there will be only one city, however, they want to make it frameless and gradually expand it. Most likely, holiday towns will remain, but several full-fledged residences, as in the fourth part, are not planned. But the characters will be able to travel around one big city by car, bike or even on foot, as in The Sims
- Most likely, the order of release of add-ons for the game will change. Since mods will become officially available in the game, the usual catalogs from developers will lose their relevance. That's why EA plans to gradually move to the release of major DLC. These will be more expensive add-ons, but they will contain a lot more content.
