How Do You Feel About An Online Sims Game?

Gods no.
Once again, it's my sandbox, my world, and you're not invited.
(universal "you", not directing that at anyone specifically ?)

If I want an online game, I would play second life.

I just hope they don't make this online feature with only young adults.

Doubt I will use the online feature and rather play it offline.

it would really depend on how it's done, maybe if they made like one "shared world" while all other worlds remain offline only.
Or if you could visit other peoples worlds only by invite, kinda like Animal Crossing and the host can set rules for visitors.

But I wouldn't want an online only game, where everyone shares the same space/world all the time, I too feel that goes against the sandbox idea and creating your own worlds and stories and so on, cause people could mess it up for one another.
If they ever made such a game, I think it should be a standalone game in addition to Sims5 not instead of, like TES online is for the TES series, same Universe and all but seperate from the original series/games.

The first post had many questions in it. :smile: I answered to this one:
Considering the previous online Sims games have failed (and that Sims 4 was originally supposed to be online), do you think the same will happen to Sims 5
I really don't have much faith in any future online sims game. If you only look at Twitch streamers and they hardly do any playing because most of the time they just chat.

Anything that puts more than the gallery online would be a solid NO from me.

The only reason I don’t feel like playing atm is cause it feels lonely.
It doesn’t have to be like multiplayer more like maybe 2-player or maximum 5.

But it would probably require more servers or even servers hosted by players themselves (like minecraft or rust)

No! All that will do is dummy down the AI again (think Sims 4.5) and limit the worlds again (because TS4 for was supposed to be online).

I play to destress from RL, I don't want RL intruding on my time, I don't want to be social when I'm creating something or telling my story.

There's already Second Life and IMVU for people who need to be in a virtual world with other players.

How would families work? Who would be controlling children and toddlers? How would aging work?

No! No! and NO!

There should be options to play online or alone. Even if there’s an option to play online, there need to be controls so you can play with certain people only.

They'd also have to either severely limit what we can do in the game or let it be be overrun by twelve-year-olds causing as much mayhem as possible all the time because they think it's funny.

(I'd have edited this onto my original post, but I'm still too "new" apparently and the forum won't let me do that.)

No. If Sims 5 is online,then we'll have to put up with online daters,scammers,spammers,hackers,trolls,cyber-bullies,griefers,exploiters,people begging for Simoleons, lag,crashing,and other problems of online game play.

I hope Sims 5 is kept as an offline game.
