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...
I think the sims 4 needs a multi-player feature.
I know you can get a mod for this but it's not exactly what I was thinking.
It would be amazing to have an add on or just a feature where you can play with friends. Unlike the downloadable mod you should be able to play as different households. So you can play in the same world and everything but as your own characters.
I actually could not disagree more. I don't want to play with friends. The best part of TS4, for me, is that it's self-contained. I can download mods and play it MY way - and there's no one to judge. I don't have to worry about scheduling to be online to play with a specific friend. I can play on my schedule. If I want interactive play, there are plenty of games for that. If I just want to be left alone and unwind away from other humans? TS4 is my go-to. I'm afraid that adding a multi-player component would ruin the sims. It has never been an interactive game. I'm not sure why they want to change that now. I'm envisioning a hellscape of bald, underwear-clad sims whose CC isn't loading.
I had a little laugh at the last part of your comment haha.
But u meant more so to have as an optional feature, so those who did want to experience it can. I love playing on my own and it's my escape from people as well, but once on a while it would be nice to play the game with another person in my opinion.
So yeah, it would definitely have to be optional.
I am not in favor of this added to Sims 4. A spinoff Sims title with multi-player is fine, but I play the Sims franchise because it is a single-player game. They did try that in the early 2000's, it was called the Sims Online. I have been playing games in the franchise since the first game in 2000. I skipped the Sims Online, because I just saw no point to it. I do not have friends that play Sims 4 and my family (my children) that also play the game also enjoys that it is a single-player experience on my profile. Creating the option also would take money away from making a better single-player experience, although Sims 4 was originally supposed to be an online game according to the research, which is why the sims in the game all feel the same and have no distinct personalities.
I had no idea the sims online was even a thing. I wasn't born then haha.
But I understand where your coming from with everything.
I play by myself all the time and don't have many people who I could play with, but I feel it would still be nice to have the option.
The spin off you mentioned is a good idea, that way it doesn't take away from the current sims 4 experience.
