After two years, "The Sims 4" has already received several DLC packs. Now, it is rumored that another one might make it to the list and will be called "City Life." It also seems that fans will have to wait a bit longer for the next game in the series, "The Sims 5." It may not be coming soon.

"City Life" is said to be the title of the next DLC that will arrive for the fourth game of the highly successful life simulation series by publisher Electronic Arts. The said downloadable content will feature the hustle and bustle of the city, complete with apartments, basketball courts, city cultural events and even a political career in the metropolis. This information came through an email from a person named "Sim Nonymous," according to Sims Community.

The email also contained a rendered imaged that could possibly used for the box art. However, the quality of the image is not of high quality since it seems that it was scanned from a printed piece of paper.

The report also added that Brazil's official rating board showed a listing that contains the same title for the game several weeks ago. Though the listing has been taken down, after it has been legally escalated. EA's distributor in Brazil has requested the rating board to take down the page.

Meanwhile, it was previously rumored that the next game in the series, is in development, however, the idea was set aside by Grant Rodiek, the game producer for "The Sims 4." He said back then, "We're not working on Sims 5. We're not thinking about Sims 5. If Sims 4 isn't successful, there won't be a Sims 5," Cinema Blend reported a year ago.

But this may not be the case anymore. The game community knows that "The Sims" is the only one of its kind in the market, and there is a huge fan base for it. EA will not be creating additional DLCs and several stuff packs if the game is not making anything from it.

The "City Life" DLC has not been confirmed by EA nor by developers The Sims Studio and Maxis.
