It's possible that if the game does go down an online multiplayer route as reports have suggested, we could see some more significant gameplay changes than previous releases. It will be interesting to see whether The Sims 5 adds a new dimension to the game, perhaps even being able to take direct, third-person control of your Sim as opposed to the overhead view of clicking and moving.
Sims gameplay has remained relatively unchanged through its lifetime, with some new additions and quality of life updates thrown in from time to time. You have daily needs and shifting emotions to take care of, which you complete and keep in check by doing certain actions such as eating and, of course, socializing with people as soon as they happen to pass by your home. In terms of gameplay, we can probably expect that The Sims 5 will play similarly to previous iterations, no matter what it ends up looking like. There are currently no The Sims 5 trailers right now, so we can only speculate as to what the next generation of The Sims holds for us.
