Sims 4 Multiplayer or Online
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 on...

@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. 🤭
@PugLove888 i will try my very best and i believe i will be successful, 2002 was a different time !! they’ll believe me eventually
@melissamckee27 while you should always do your best, you also need to have realistic expectations. Otherwise you are setting yourself up for a massive letdown. 😢
Yes, 2002 was a "different time" but if the first didn't sell well, realistically EA would be very hesitant to do something again that they have proof didn't work in the first place. 🤨
- @PugLove888 stop crushing my dreams ☹️
@melissamckee27, I'm not trying to crush your dreams, but I am trying to soften the blow 😇 since there have been some other people in the past several years who have also said they wanted the Sims to be online. It would be wrong of me to lie to you!
That stated, there is still a chance that EA might consider doing an online version of the Sims again. But while your input would help make that happen, you can not single-handedly cause that to happen (unless you bought the company! 😃).
Some people say that The Sims 4 was supposed to be an online version but that it didn't work out. Others say it was supposed to be mobile version. I don't know if any of these are true or not. If TS4 was supposed to be an online version and it didn't work out, then that might make EA less likely to try it again -- but it does mean that they might still be considering it. So, just continue to support an online Sims game, but also realize that it might not happen! 😇
@melissamckee27, I just talked to someone I know who played The Sims Online. They said it didn't work because it ended up being more of a chat room than an actual game. 🤒 Also, even when there was a little bit of gameplay, it was harmed by the fact that you can't fast-forward the boring parts like you can do with any other Sims game. It became very tedious! 😞
So, this is probably one of those things that are great in theory, but not so good in reality. 😢
Update: I also forgot about the online feature that TS3 had with one of its EPs. Showtime allowed you to send one of your preforming Sims to a Friends town for a show, where your friend could watch them. Your Sim could tour, or have other visit your Sims' town as well for you to watch their performance. Sadly, the system didn't work well. A lot of people were upset with it since it was very difficult to get it working right. I also seem to remember not many Sims would show up to watch these shows, which didn't help matters. 🤭
However, The Sims Mobile lets you host a party and invite other players to your house. So @melissamckee27 , that might be more to your likening! 🥳
- @PugLove888 i wouldn’t mind it being a chat room! thanks i’ll download the sims online to see
- @PugLove888 highly unlikely for them to have a Sims Online game again it was between The Sims 2 and 3 and the servers are very expensive to maintain, and would cost a lot to rent out. The stupid lots where nothing but dumb grinds of making pizza or other stupid stuff.
@Sid1701d9, you should tell @melissamckee27 that information, not me.😉 I have no desire to play an online version of The Sims! 😃
- @Sid1701d9 That's why I don't want it. Since there's a lot of cost involved, companies want to make up the expenses, service fees, subscriptions, microtransactions, loot boxes, it becomes riddled with charges and fees that we all end up paying.
Single-player games are a dying breed.
