The next Sims game currently goes under the name Project Rene rather than The Sims 5, but that aside, we know a growing amount about EA Maxis' next social simulation. During today's latest Behind The Sims community update, they shared more, including the news that the next entry in the series would be free-to-play and without energy mechanics or a subscription.

If sims 5 doesnt allow my sims to exit the house without loading screen, then it isnt worth it

The loading screen is optional DLC. Definitely not a micro-transaction. Just very small DLC.

I want to actually watch them do their jobs, too. Not just enter a building and forcing me to watch time go by for the 8 hours they are there. I don't care if they're just packing boxes for Samazon; I mean, I will watch them watching TV. Watching them do boring stuff isn't that boring.

Agreed. Working is the worst part of the Sims. They make you just fucking sit there for all that time staring at the outside of a building

yeah, jobs on sims 3 is basically entering a building and waiting. With an occasional prompt about "what should your sims do?"
