Sims 4 online or multiplayer should be an expansion pack where you can play with your friends live on the Sims 4. Basically, in a household, you can both go into create a sim and be able to create one household together. Also, you should be able to do the same but with building house. Both have access to the same lot on one world and be able to build together and play live together. Another option could be you can both play on the same exact world/game but build different houses and different households that can visit each other. I just think the game would be way more enjoyable if you could be able to play live with your friends. Thank you.

@emilyxxxlol Me and my brother were just talking about how if there was multiplayer it would be cool to play together maybe split screen or on different consoles same game type of thing uk

@Atyfu-YT In The Sims 3 there was an option to seemingly interact with other players and their creation through 'the Sim Port'. In this EP of the Sims 3 your artist Sims could be exchanged and you could ask friends and Sims 3 gamers to lent one of their artist. You could also gain point by completing tasks on the other side of the Sim Port. Unfortunately i was never able to fulfil this book.As far as I know this could not be seen as a succes because the developers closed this game option not long after they had opened it. It was slow and buggy and sometimes players lost their Sims in the transition between worlds Or the artist Sims got stuck somewhere. If I remember it right, I ended up with someone else's Sim. Some of my Sims even found their demise. But it could have been that they died on the other side. There was also an issue with gamers that used CC and mods. So all in all, not an exercise to be repeated. As @SheriGR stated, she wouldn't let other players interfere with her saves or Sims neither would I. I wonder if the option you mention will be available in other Sims games, like the development of Sims 5. If it would be feasible, I think it would become some sort of hybrid solution like in the Sims 3 where you can pick one or more of your own Sims to play in a world that has to be managed by EA or Maxis. I have seen the problems of this type of games in Second life. I would not be going to play such a game. There are enough options to enhance The Sims 4 as it is so i will just wait and see what is coming. In the mean time,Have fun playing. 😉

I love this idea. I believe being able to play online with your friends would make the game much more enjoyable. I have always wanted to play online with my friends but cannot, if it is possible to do this it would be great.

@SW211246 It definitely would be a nifty feature for consoles. I remember back then for The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 console versions, they always made it different than the PC version. I'm really unsure why they wouldn't continue that trend. It was pretty awesome.

@Stacey389 @FireyLuna EA made a Sims Online for PC, a game that was active between 2002 and 2008. It was shutdown, as the game failed to generate revenues and the number of players dropped yearly. Other attempts were made, but they tanked as well. The Sims Mobile (a mobile game, which requires a powerful smartphone or tablet - the list for the supported phones is available in The Sims boards) is the closest that you get to the now defunct Sims Online.

This idea is great! Even an option just to visit like on animal crossing would be awesome!

I think that a sims massively multiplayer online would be a great edition to the sims. I would love to play online with my friends and feel that this is what the sims need to make it perfect. I hope this can one day happen!

@melissamckee27 Oh god no! PLEASE NO!

The last thing we need is another mmorpg. I love my Sims just the way it is, blissfully single-player.

@melissamckee27, I have to agree with @Psychotps on this . However, there was an online version of the Sims called Sims Online! 🤨 It was released in 2002 and ended in 2008. While many others recently have expressed interest in playing an online version of The Sims, I don't know how likely it would be that EA would try this again since the Sims Online wasn't that successful. 🤔 But maybe they will surprise us! 😃

@melissamckee27, you can try your best to do that, but there is no actual way you can single handedly do that unless you know millions of people and can get them buy the game and then play it! 😞
And even if you could get that many people to buy and play it, you would still have to convince EA that it would be a good idea. 🤭
