I would say there needs to be two games. Have an online spin-off for those who are open to it. Make it the cash cow, as to not ruin the TS4 successor. Similar to how we now have Sims FreePlay and Sims Mobile as well as TS4. I don't like the concept period,as once those servers are shut down, you're out whatever it cost you. And then there's the whole issue of microtransactions and software-as-a-service/subscription model that I strongly oppose period (i.e. Microsoft software like Office).
And then, have a very good game with the features others have been asking, and take advantage of modern game engines and hardware to make an excellent successor to TS4. I don't mind online functionality, just not multiplayer. I mean, nothing more than a successor to our Gallery, and something like Steam Workshop integration to allow mods to automatically update. I have fewer mods than I really want, and don't update them as much as I should (usually, only when they break) just because they are such a PITA to keep updated. I dabble (not a big fan of, however) Garry's Mod, and I have several mods. They all usually automatically update, whether it be due to improvement by the mod's designer or in response to a patch. Only time I've had trouble is when either they conflict, or were abandoned by their creators.
