VR is kind of a meme imho and would make no sense with the 3rd-person viewpoint used in the Sims series.
I'm not against have some sort of optional multiplayer features but the core game needs to remain offline single player. Trying to force an online multiplayer onto what has traditionally been a single player sandbox game tends to backfire (see: SimCity (2013). Plus, I think a lot of us who play this game do so because we are at least in part control freaks, and I doubt most of us want other people messing around in the carefully crafted and personally tuned digital ecosystems we've created for ourselves.
