It has been eight years since EA released <\/em>. While it seems there’s still plenty of life left yet in the game , many fans have been wondering about the future of the series. During a showcase on Tuesday, the publisher and developer Maxis announced the next entry in the franchise, and offered a sneak peek into what’s ahead.<\/p>\n

The next-gen Sims game is currently dubbed Project Rene<\/em>. Maxis opted for that working title “to be reminiscent of words like renewal, renaissance and rebirth to represent the developer’s renewed commitment for The Sims’ bright future,” EA said in a press release.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Maxis is in the very early stages of building Project Rene<\/em>, which probably won’t arrive for another few years. However, it did offer some details during the , including a look at more in-depth customization. You’ll be able to change the patterns, colors and shapes of objects, including various elements of each item. For instance, you could adjust the shape and size of a bed’s footboard or tweak the cushion layout and pattern on a couch. It seems that you’ll have more freedom over how to place objects without having to rely on the grid system that The Sims has long employed.<\/p>\n

You’ll be able to play Project Rene by yourself or with your friends (there’s the option to share furniture sets, for instance). What’s more, it will be a cross-platform game with cross-progression, so you’ll be able to continue playing when you move to a different device. That’s also a possible hint that Project Rene is being eyed as a free-to-play-title.<\/p>\n

EA said it was providing its earliest-ever look at a Sims game. As such, some of these planned features may change in the coming years, and there’s still a lot more to come. Maxis wants input from players as it develops Project Rene. As such, it’s taking a similar approach to sibling studio Full Circle, which has invited fans to <\/em> <\/em>and offer feedback to help guide its work.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the stream offered some details on updates for the current games. Maxis is working with Overwolf, which is behind mod repository CurseForge, to build a destination that The Sims 4<\/em> fans can visit to find trusted mods and player-created content for the game. More details on that will be revealed later this year.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the next wave of expansion packs is coming in 2023. The showcase included a teaser related to infants, who may no longer be confined to cribs. One was shown crawling around before an adult picked them up.<\/p>\n

Starting Tuesday, The Sims FreePlay <\/em>will allow players to use all hairstyles, earrings and glasses on Sims of any gender. Maxis is upgrading characters’ faces as well as part of a drive to . The Sims FreePlay <\/em>will also gain a superyacht that your Sims can live in early next year. as for The Sims Mobile, <\/em>balconies will be available in the build and buy catalog sometime this holiday season.<\/p>\n
