The Sims 4 Online
Hold up . Don't shut me down before i've begun.
I understand that there's a lot of personal opinions towards online multiplayer games. Eg. IMVU, second life etc. And a lot of hatred about these types of games, especially from Sims players (myself included). Sims is a solo player game. I love the sims, its my escape route from reality, I don't want my screen spamming with someone else's conversation.
However....
The Sims 4 Online wouldn't have to be like that.
The idea:
A completely separate functioning world. It cannot interfere with your game whatsoever. It will simply show on your screen, sort of like a vacation spot on a separate destination screen. You cannot live there.
The sole purpose of this world would be to travel to with your played family (or single sim if multiple sims would be reaching too high) to experience a unique fun world. The catch? The sims here are controlled by other players.
There would be no "chat box", its your sims communicating not the players. The interaction menu would be near enough the same as it already is, perhaps some unique interactions??
Depending on how advanced things could go:
There could be the option to own a lot and build so you could treat it as a business/home lot? This way you could invite sims you've met to your online lot. They cannot edit your lot in any way, they are guests. You have complete control over door locking and other restrictions such as getting water, food from fridge and painting etc ( basically anything that would create mess or be annoying)
Upon buying the EP you could be granted one lot for free along with the world it comes with. And then buy extras. (as this would be through servers i'm assuming)
You should however have complete control with building on your lot and be able to change it whenever you want, expect when other players are visiting of course (you can force them to leave though)
As a business: you can set restrictions, door locking and business hours. And of course option to close whenever and have the sims leave immediately.
Things like CC. I'm not sure how that would work but seeing as it'll only be visual the other players shouldn't need the files. Either that or no CC Mods allowed in the online world.
Time cannot be fast forwarded here. The whole world would run on one continuing time for everyone.
Marriage, babies etc.. All the more fun not knowing the other players agenda. Marriage would be simple enough, however kids would be complicated. I'm not sure how that would work either. Perhaps somebody else could share some ideas.
As with all ideas, things might not suit everyone's style. Please share your ideas for an EP or a spin off like this. If the idea's not for you, thats fine and understandable, it's not everyone's cup of tea. But please do remember, all packs are optional, and this is simply an idea, a very rusty one at that.
Please add your ideas :smiley:
This is my first discussion.. and a very opinionated topic, so please be kind.
