During the latest Behind The Sims livestream , there were three main highlights : a Modern Sims 4 Stuff Pack , a Sims Mobile event , and details on Project Rene . Project Rene , muse in the community to be The Sims 5 , presently has very little uncommitted information , but that changed in this stream . We bring the princely confirmation thatProject Rene will be free to spiel .
As highlighted in the stream and the officialBehind The Sims feature , Project Rene will be free to download , allowing fans to play without pay up a one - time fee or subscription . It also wo n’t have “ DOE mechanic ” , allow you to play as much or as little as you ’d care without being hale to wait . It will also live alongside The Sims 4 , so the latter wo n’t be abandoned once Project Rene is expel .
While the Project Rene base game will be devoid to download and play , it will still have bear DLC , much like past Sims game . However , it ’ll operate slightly differently from Sims 4 , as the clause account below :
Beyond regular updates to the kernel plot , we will sell subject and mob , but we design to change this up a turn . For representative , basic weather may be added to the inwardness biz for free , for everybody . And in the future , a pack for leverage may be focused on winter sport with activities like ice dance or a snowman building rival . It ’s of import that with Project Rene we depressed barrier to make for and give all players the broadest shared system because that feel like the strongest understructure for us to grow from .
While there is no update on a exit date for Project Rene , the page does support that it is still in the early stages of development . With that in creative thinker , we can expect a 2024 liberation at the earlier , with 2025 or after being a more naturalistic clock time . mightily now , though , Project Rene ’s spillage date is exclusively up to speculation .
