Sims 4 Console multiplayer?

The whole reason I ignored Sims4 up front was because they were making an online, multi-player game. I've played things like WoW, so I've had a taste of what that is. I also learned through feedback that the first attempt to make Sims an online game failed miserably. Thank you, no, I'll pass. I only got interested in Sims4 when they told us it was going to be a single player game like the previous iterations. I didn't like having my Sim 'gone' while on tour in Sims3, unable to play him for 12 Sim hours and was very glad to learn he could make it to the top of the singer career without going on tour. I certainly DON'T want anyone messing with my Sims. When I play my game, I'm alone. No kibitzing from another person, or even the Peanut Gallery, telling me what or how I should do thus and so. Nope, no thank you. My game, my style of play.

I don't have any sort of console, nor do I have any plans on purchasing one.

I agree 100%. If any PC iteration of The Sims goes multi-player, it will be the end of a long relationship with The Sims for me.

I agree with GalacticGal and Jaline33 when it comes to making any Sims games an on line multi-player game. There are many other multi-player games out there that lend themselves more to that style of gameplay than the Sims. While I sympathize with the Simmers who want this, I also know it has been tried before and failed. There are not enough Simmers who want it that would make it as profitable as the PC version. When I learned that was the plan for Sims4 in the beginning, I was a bit upset at the idea of sharing my game and my privacy with anyone else. Then the news came out that we would have the option to play on line. Then the entire idea was scrapped. The idea of an on line multi-player Sims game has been discussed many, many times since Sims2 was released. And for reasons known only by EA, it just hasn't happened in a successful manner. If EA knew an on line version would be as successful as the PC versions, they would have done it before now.

I would love for it to be 1 to 4 players or shoot even one to two I would love to play the game with my son to try and get him into something else besides single player games seems everybody stepped away from the multiplayer and went online straight I like the old days where you could play on the same screen with others that's what made a certain game on Xbox so great back in the day

I wouldn't like an online multiplayer experience for The Sims, but I would love it if we had the option to play with our friends or family on the same screen. In Sims 3, I hated that to get some items, we had to visit strangers' games and allow them to visit ours. That was the source of many annoying bugs.

It would not be an issue for me if it was optional and it can be online in an LAN configuration something like it was for Diablo 1 where two or more systems can hook up. It is all an matter of choice and at this point I do not even seeing it happening.

I'd love for it to be an open world game or at least 2-4 player. I play a game called SecondLife (sl) and everyone on there wish the sims was multiplayer. We would like to roleplay with our friends, family and pets on the sims how we do on sl. I believe it would make the sims better & a lot more people would join... it could be an option button to allow/decline others to join your sims.

You can play with other players online you can invite them to play the game with you as long as you have gold or whatever ps4s online is called and then you can play together

Yes it is I have had invations from other players to join them playing the sims 4 I haven't played online but I have defo gotten others asking do I want to play sims with them thank you very much

No it says they are wanting you join them to play I dont know how it works i just let them know to check it out i never said it was a multi player game i just said it says to join them in game I also stated that I didn't know how it work buts that's what I get inivited by all the time I am very aware what the happenings are with console as I clearly have one but like I said you'd have to go and check online sims to see what it does when you join the invite

I don't think I'd like to have a normal multiplayer version for PC. As others have said, I think it would be great if I could play with people on my friends list. But I don't want a bunch of random people I don't know hanging out in my worlds doing who knows what...all though it could be entertaining to a point. I still don't think I'd like it.
