According to an insider source, hackers have been able to crack the newest Sims game, before it's even gotten a chance to leave the beta stage. Right now, EA is playtesting "Project Rene", an early version of what will likely become The Sims 5, giving a small handful of players the chance to try out the next generation Sims entry. One of those players with access to the playtest has done some digging around in the files and has managed to "crack" this build of the game. The user who made this claim is staying anonymous in order to protect themselves from any ramifications of cracking the playtest, but reached out to Insider-Gaming, reporting that they used a Denuvo DRM token generator to allow access to the game, even when offline, which isn't available normally.

The hacker says that cracking the game was an easy process, due in part to the fact that The Sims 5 beta runs on Unreal Engine and has zero encryption. It's not known if the pirated version of the playtest will be made available online.

I hope we'll see some footage and also that it'll be better than The Sims 4.
Seriously 4 was such a downgrade compared to 3. The removal of the open world alone was such a backwards move.

hmm a token generator... would that work on other games as well?

what id like to see is a mix between ts3 and ts4
open world big like ts3 (or even bigger if possible) but to make it also possible to travel to other maps like ts4

I would dare to say Sims 2 is still better than 4 in some aspects (specificly, the small details in actions and animations)

But he showed no footage, nothing...how do we know that this is even real ??

The irony of a game being cracked open because it's utilizing Denuvo is not lost on me.

What I would really love, is if you can control the micro like Sims games have traditionally done, but also if you could then zoom out and do intricate macro city management, essentially merging The Sims with Sim City. Perhaps that isn't on the cards with Sims 5, but I do think that eventually this will be an inevitability.

 

[Something whatever]

I want to see it in action

Honesty why not just make the game online only like GTA Online? 4 is basically pay to win already.

They certainly could, it is EA after all, though they're already nickle and diming everyone with an absurd amount of 'expansion packs' that from my understanding, mostly just add objects and features from previous Sims games that weren't in Sims 4 at launch.

Also, how do you 'win' in The Sims? I've played very little of 4, did they add some sort of end game goal or something to the experience?

Denuvo: A hassle for who brought the game, an annoyance for who developed the game, a cost for who produced the game, a fun challenge for hackers and, in the end, yet another free game for the pirates.

there's no "winning"
the only "win" i see in sims is accomplishing a sim life-aspiration, i guess?

Unfortunately the last part isn't true. Recent Denuvo games haven't been cracked and released. Not sure of the reasoning, but as far as I'm aware only Empress does it and won't do it free of charge.

Already confirmed that this is going to be a live service title. Which already seems like a downgrade.

That was early on when everyone Internet was crap, nowadays it would be a different story.
