@berkgulener Actually, as with so many things, there’s a mod for that! If you and your friends play on computers, look up the Sims Multiplayer mod.
It was actually entertaining. The ability to block out pretty much the whole world was a nice touch for control.
However, there was a lot of griefing available in the early days.
Like having a roommate who removed the whole house and left ☹️
Always a plus and minus to online games... human choices and creativity in griefing tend to be always changing.. ☹️
My only personal gripe was when it came to the child account interactions. I never felt good about kicking them from my homes simply because they were non interactable. They had to hate a room full of people they could not communicate to also :-/
@ErykaNeko , I am guessing the inability to communicate with child accounts was for their safety (though I can see how it could lead to hurt feelings, even though it was for the best!)
As for griefing, there always will be some trolls out there! 😖
I've only seen some YouTube videos of Sims Online. I'm glad you enjoyed playing it! 🥳
Popping back to this... I ve been thinking on the good ol' days of SIMS online.
Man, I bet the story of it's life would be a lot different if it were released now.
The sheer options and expanded things for SIMS to do and get into, school, etc is like 200% more than the S.O. had.
RIP SIMS Online. ☹️
@ErykaNeko , yes I think you are probably right! The Sims Online was ahead of its time! 🤨
While I don't really want online play in the Sims, I think it was nice to have a separate game for those who do!🥳 Or at least have the option of playing either single or online. I am more open to playing online with a small group of people you know, though. But I still want the ability to retreat into my own little world ! 😅
