The sims 5 will have offline capabilities, but the true selling point and what Maxis and Electronic Arts will hope for is that people will primary play online. The Sims 5 is still several years away a...

I predict total fail for five different types of players.
1. Family Players won't like it, because of the obvious.
2. Deviant Players won't like it, because of the obvious.
3. Story Tellers won't like it, because of the obvious.
4. Loners who enjoy single player who never share anything and never will, will not like it.
5. Modders and Scripit Modders won't like it, because of the obvious.
Your ideas are hopeful but doubtful. If you thought they are capable of building a multiplayer that plays exactly like an older pc version that's impossible because of the obvious.
1. No one who owns 2 and3 will pay membership fees, ever. Why would they? Only to be bothered by others, I don't think they will go for it.
2. Server worlds in SC2013 is a fine example of why players won't like it. Huge decrease in world sizes that TS4 also suffers from compared to other SC worlds of the past.
3. Time (not even standard) will be real time, wait 24 hours etc. Who will enjoy that? Sim Social players? The Sims Mobile players? Sims Free Play? Certainly not Simmers of the older iterations.
4. No, I doubt player clones would exist. A notice they are not available is probably more like it.
5. Not only NPCs with no control but Sim family members in your own household as NPCs...very, very possible. I predict this one heavily. No control of your own other Sims.
6. If you think EA and Maxis will settle just for montly fees with no micro task bound transactions, then some aren't paying attention. It's the cash cow of MMOs.
