Here's an article by the way. I know they are saying it won't replace 4, but I think that's kinda just PR talk just like how Nintendo will say the next-gen console won't replace the Switch so they can get make sure they aren't saying "don't buy the Switch."

Bet the next game all the individual furnishings cost real money to unlock but OMG all the expansions will be "free"
$2 for every kitchen chair, $5 for a table

Would not be surprised since it is Free 2 Play. Probably will give you a limit on how many items you can have in vanilla and charge you to have items beyond that limit.

It's probably not a good sign that one of the positions EA is looking to hire is titled "Head of monetization and marketplace." I mean, it's not a good sign that modern EA is behind the game in general, but that is definitely not a good sign, haha! I think it could be a very fun game hidden by the annoyances of microtransactions unfortunately.
