However, given the money focus, a lot of fans of the franchise think that new careers are likely to be added to the game. The upcoming anniversary showcase will stream on a variety of different media, including YouTube and Twitch.
The celebrations also come as "The Sims 4", which just has a new main menu screen, which is seen as a major change from the past.
