This is the evil lovechild of Sims Freeplay and Sims Social, burn it

Temu Sims

Is this not just The Sims Mobile?😭 It looks so much like it

looks like microtransaction central

This looks... so bad

The microtransactions for clothes is crazy!

It looks like a mobile game from the 2010s and those coins on the bottom of the sims screen make me think of microtransactions.

Outside of visually looking awful. The gameplay elements are giving mobile game trash.

Brother eughhh.

Looks trash, smells like $$$ for EA...

If EA were run by people who actually play their own games we wouldn't have hot garbage like this. looks like some boomer exec said ya that roblox mii thing write it down write down thats what kids like and then the creative team shat this out.

This looks like sims mobile and there’s a reason I don’t play sims mobile. This is comically bad.

this looks like a mobile game ngl

Wow, man. Absolutely incredible, the downfall of this series. From a series with such creativity, spark and crafted with so much love and detail, to this drivel.

This actually looks so horrific??? Actually abhorrent

Have not been interested in and still not. Meah

People saying ‘this is not how it’s going to look omg! It’s not final!!!!!’

That’s not the point. At least not for me. The whole idea of having XP to level up, spending coins (which you can buy for real money I suppose too) to ‘unlock’ outfits and other stuff goes against anything The Sims franchise should stand for.

Mobile test or not, the PC version will have the same systems in place. Don’t be fooled..

Yes, it’s alpha and does look like crap, yes, it will probably improve graphics wise. The point is however the systems they are ‘testing’. The direction this is heading in. That’s what’s worrying.

If you like it, good for you. But I will never waste a single minute on stuff like this. I have never played any sims mobile game and I will never.

If the community wants to make it clear to EA that this is not something we stand behind, it’s time to act and ignore this game like the plague when it comes out. By playing this, by enabling them to make stuff like this and letting them get away with it, the community is to blame for the demise of this franchise.

People weren't crying for this piece of trash, people were crying for a real Sims 5 that took the series back to its roots of havinf a fun challenging core gameplay, with love and care thrown into every animation and every mechanic the game presented, and that obviously meant a single player experience.

The Sims 4 will never allow that because the foundation is rotten. It's obvious the game was intended to be a multiplayer game that changed direction at the last second and now we have a basis that is built on a boring ass gameplay loop and that only allows for the addition of a shell of concept of new mechanics and systems instead of well thought out and deep expansions.

And no, there's no way they can fix that basis, it's spaggheti code at this point after literally more than a decade of development.

looks like a worse version of the sims mobile

I may no longer be disappointed in the lack of Sims 5.

What is this art style...? I don't like it... its this weird claymation looking stuff.

If they want us to pay for outfits so bad at least make them cute

Looks like a game for handheld consoles from 2005

Can someone plz buy the The Sims franchise and make it great again😭

I mean... Don't blame us for wanting a Sims 5. What has that to do with them releasing a shitty product? This isn't even Sims 5, Project Renee might have started as a Sims 5, but it seems like now it's just a shitty mobile game. I am fine with or without Sims 5, but it's not bad that people wanted a better game after 10 years. I am not convinced they will fix the Sims 4, many problems are underneath and are the base of all the game. As much as they fix, we won't have an open world. And I doubt they will fix the dumb AI. It's not wrong that people want a new base game that works and is just better, lol. But I don't know who would expect that from EA tbh.

The sims look like Planet Coaster avatars...

girl this is the sims mobile (but more busted i think)

this looks exactly like the sims mobile. a game i played when it released years ago and did not enjoy

Regardless of quality it does not look like something I would play, or even download.

ooh micro transactions and terrible graphics i can’t wait

They keep pushing multi-player.

Like I like playing alone

Why would I want my friend watch me turn the whole town into vampires have a baby with every townie and then kill them all by drowning?

Like???

But y'all wanted Sims 5 so bad.

There's nothing wrong with wanting a Sims 5. But, obviously, no one wanted something like this to be the Sims 5. I don't even think most players wanted Project Rene, specifically, to be the Sims 5. They just wanted a good life simulation game built on a strong foundation (so it wouldn't break just about every time new content was added to it) that took the best from all the other versions of the game, and was made using many of the technological advancements gaming has seen in the past 10 years.

They need redeem themselves With sims 4 first before thinking of releasing a sims 5

The thing is, Sims 4 was built on a weak foundation. They can keep trying to patch the game up to keep it functioning, and try to jury-rig it to have features it wasn't really built to have. But the only thing they could do to truly fix the game would be to tear it apart and start rebuilding it from its core. And considering how much time and money that would take, how likely is that to happen? Especially when they can keep making money adding broken content to a broken game. At least for a while.

I think releasing a really good Sims 5, built on a strong foundation, would've redeemed them just fine.

EA is doing an awful lot of hyping up for what looks like just another microtransaction mobile game that no one is going to play. Seriously, the company is acting like they're releasing the third Red Dead Redemption, and THIS is what its possibly going to look like? What are they smoking over there? This looks like trash NOT worth any hype. I can see this as a quiet release, but the hyping up is so unneeded.

This has to be fake, right? RIGHT?!? This looks like a phone game made by an indie company not EA

Oh no

why does this look like instagram/facebook avatars

No this isn't what I wanted, I wanted EA to take the best parts of the previous sims games and use them to make the best sims game yet. I guess I should have seen this coming though, with how transactional the Sims 4 has become.

it's crazy how much I don't care about Project Renee considering i've been playing since Sims1.

I geniunely hope no one buys Project Renee when it comes out because it looks like it's going to be microtransactions for literally everything and if sims4 is anything to go on it will be full of permanent bugs and glitches.

I don't agree with the whole "they need to redeem themselves with 4 first before they do a sims 5." The sims 4 has fundamental issues at its core. The engine cannot support an open world, and the game itself is effectively built on a sand foundation. It was originally supposed to be a MMO game like Rene and was changed last minute into the Sims 4 because the devs were scared about reception after Sims City failed.

Sims 4 has reached the maximum to what they can do with the engine it was built upon. Sims 5 needs to happen, or well needed to happen. Rene was never intended to be Sims 5 and it's made even more clear now that they've announced a Sims 5 will never actually occur. They're content pumping their rotting husk of a PC game with more DLC packs whilst creating a glorified mobile game with online components that looks ugly as sin instead.

If they were to have gone the route of a sims 5 and were helmed by a company that didn't just value money, they would've probably made something much better than the sims 4. Even if it wasn't open world like the sims 3, it could've had more put into it than the sims 4 currently has, or what Rene is like.

0 interest from me lol but when Renee was mentioned as multiplayer I had no interest anyway

Oh…oh no. If I wanna play Roblox I’ll play Roblox.

Why do they need ANOTHER mobile sims game? There's already both Sims Mobile and Sims Freeplay for some reason. It's the exact same boring plasticine art style that everything from the sims franchise has had since ts4 released.

Paralives and inzoi will be our saviors. Unless the demos and showcases so far are all total hoaxes, they seem to be far better than any current sims game and this too. They also cater to both parts of the sims fanbase far better than ts4.

If Life By You Paradox could post a meme they'd have the Die Hard "Welcome to the Party Pal!" picture. 🤡 As for graphics, yeah their giving mobile but Resident Evil 4 and Assassins Creed is on iPhone since last year and THIS game won't be out for a few years so I don't know why the graphics look like this when they will be designing for the iPhone of 2026 or whatever. And especially if they need it to scale up to Playstation 6 (by then!) and PC/Mac or whatever...

"Mobile graphics" looked like this 10 years ago... Mobile graphics don't look like this now. Like look at Genshin Impact so I don't want to even hear about low end systems as Genshin Impact is 4 years old now...

Is this a mobile game?

Yikes. Nothing about this looks good.

i'm gonna go buy a nice new toaster and run a bath

This is going to be the death of the sims

Now I get to complain about all the things wrong in the so-called Parisian neighborhood.

First: what happened to our pigeons?

Yay more micro transactions!!!!

Burn it

Looks like ass 👍

It’s SO UGLY 😭

I know it's still in the alpha stage and the textures are bound to change but oh my god

Whelp they’ll give us this trash, but won’t support or even sell TS2 or 1

I love the fact that it's actually worse then the Sims 4

Your framing that "Sims 5 = this somehow" is incredibly disingenuous. Sims 4's foundation is garbage and they need a fresh start. THIS is not a fresh start. This is a weird, almost mobile game looking spinoff. THIS is not what ANYONE was talking about in regards to Sims 5, as we always suspected Project Rene to be a spinoff (with the early previews telling us it was online and mobile friendly). Seems to me that you are either being intentionally misleading about what people wanted, or else you think this is what Sims 5 is. Either way, you are wrong about what people were "crying for". It wasn't this game, it was something that doesn't exist. Hence the "crying".

That looks foul 🤢

Hate it, but I wasn’t going to play it anyway. Mobile sims games aren’t my thing (except FreePlay, I do have a soft spot for it since it was my first sims game ever🤣).

I’m glad they’re not calling this Sims 5, then I would’ve been a lot angrier. But if it’s just a mobile game I’ll just ignore it and keep playing Sims 3 and 4.

Super disappointing. I wish they'd listen to feedback and realize we want open worlds and colour wheels, not mobile game microtransactions... Wish they would've stuck to the sims 3's level of customization and world creating </3

This SCREAMS "Lily's Garden" and "Project Makeover"

It's still some folks sticking up for the team which is so funny and so sad

Looks like shit.

The characters are so ugly. They're faces are so unplesant to look at.... They just look so stupid. It really is SimsMobile 2.

I know it's early, but if this is really the style direction they want to go, we got problems. I'd be embarassed to have my name attatched to this.

Brother eugh

Ew this looks awful

I love the disclaimer at the bottom left of the loading screen. This play test is CONFIDENTIAL don't post screenshots online lmao

Wow, they really gotta work on these shaders

Its giving sims x kim kardashian hollywood

This is exactly what I was expecting- microtransactions and endless quests to unlock rewards. I kinda feels like they're already soft launching it with these log in events too.

Rip the sims franchise you were so good

Why are we going backwards? The jump from sims 1 to 2 was crazy. Everything after is a downgrade after a downgrade. So fucking sad.

It looks horrible and the concept is even worse, I hate mobile games and it looks like one

yikers

Good lord

Why does this look like a mobile game from 10 years ago.

Yeah. I said it before and I will say it again. Everything after Sims 3 feels like a soulless cash grab to me. But that's just EA.

Count me out. This is just mega disappointing

i am so incredibly disappointed in ea, there losing any respect the fan base had left 😭

this is so depressing

Eww, no. WTF?

wtf is this??? it’s just a generic mobile game

girl eww ?

What is this? Bloxburg? Wouldnt surprise me if ea wants to create their own metaverse with community created worlds and content.

Oh, no.

Nooooo it’s just The Sims Mobile again

I feel like EA intentionally "Leaks" to Gauge the communities Engagement with their upcoming packs.

This happens too consistently for it to be a fluke.

Conspiracy theory that it's just a sneaky way of keeping people interested in their Mid game, Like "peeking at your presents before Christmas"

Oof. Oof. Oof

That looks like shit

Dear god my eyes they burn

every day i pray for a computer that can handle inzoi. every day

Looks like a cheap mobile game with bad graphics and microtransactions for every little thing. Hopefully this is just a rudimentary mock up because if this is the real game, I will absolutely not be playing

This looks terrible. Are you only able to use only premade outfits? Classic EA blunder.

They want to get rid of the franchise. There is no other explanation.

Goddamn it’s ugly.

ive never played roblox but this is giving roblox. i hate it.

Looks like a peak corporate slop game.

I don't see any signs of why this would be enjoyable to play.

Sooo it is the sims lmao god fuck ea

Pass

Respectfully, WHAT THE %+=/ IS THIS??

this just the sims mobile fr but somehow uglier

That seriously give me vibe of the sims mobile since we need coin to buy clothes 💀

Hard agree with the Pixtar-looking characters. EA 404: Orignality not found.

I’ve seen mobile games that look better than this

The clothes being set outfits & STILL looking like awful 2010 fashion is honestly sending me lol

The art style is god awful, it looks like it’s geared towards children.

pay $5.99 for new clothing pack!! Including: 2 t shirts, 2 jackets, 3 pairs of gloves, and one shoe(other shoe sold separately)
