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 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 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.
