Roy Lee is among the producers of the feature project based on the beloved 2000s computer game.

Full length trailer for Sims 5?

Or last ditch attempt to make Sims 4 look more appealing?

I don’t see them going back further, and as someone who never moved past Sims 3 (and who generally hates this lazy genre of movie, but especially when it’s based on a game that has such open and individually adaptable play), this has very little appeal to me personally.

Thoughts from fellow simmers?

    I’m not interested in giving EA any more money or in their 2 hour long commercial. However, what I AM interested in is all creative talents who may create their own versions of what the Sims movie should be based on Sims 4 is actually like:

    • No plot since it’s up to you to think up the story in your head!
    • Dining out for hours but the Sims can’t sit down and actually eat a meal.
    • Sims getting married when they’ve known each other for less than a day.
    • A wedding with guests doing things like pushups or using their cellphones during the ceremony.
    • A sim drops trash and now can’t walk around it doing their ‘hey you - help here - hand wave’.
    • A crying baby needing food with two parents who desperately need to pee. The parents pass the baby back and forth, pee themselves, then one places the baby down on the floor in the puddle of urine.
    • Famous Sims oddly appearing in every scene despite it not making sense for them to be there and oddities like wearing swimwear in snowy areas.

      especially gave me a good chuckle Definitely agree about giving money to EA, I would never pay to watch it (or bother downloading it, likely just wait until it pops up on tv one day)

        Aww thanks for the comment. I’ll share this with my kid as they’re the one who came up with that one. :D

        I’m so looking forward to once Paralives launches (Early Access to be sometime in 2025). Out of all of the competition, that’s the one I’m looking forward to the most. I’ve been a Patreon supporter for years and love seeing their weekly updates.

          I love that your kid plays too!

          I’ve been avoiding looking at the Sims alternatives that I’ve been hearing about because my pc is old and sad and upgrading just isn’t a high priority at the minute and I don’t know that I could resist getting them all and crashing it 😂 But I’m glad they’re coming along and have solid support, If I’m ever going to pay for a game again, it’d be one/all of these alternatives that are brewing…

            Oh my kid doesn’t play – more or less just listens to me vent about EA while occasionally providing advice on how to make my Sims clothing/builds look better. :D
