with The Sims 4 Providing the “basic” experience of a franchise, Project Rene This appears to be the first of EA's experiments in expansion The Sims Game, rather than being The Sims 5 The sequel is what some predicted it would be. However, right now, the only information that EA has released Project Rene It's that it offers a multiplayer experience, and little else.
