Sims 5 will be multiplayer & selling CC Creator's content

I'm not sure how that's going to work if they want it to be multiplayer as well. If two people play together and one of them have a cc hair, then the other person will either see that sim as bald, or they will see that hair too, which means that they have that hair downloaded on their computer which is a bit risky, because then modders could find a way to get access to that hair with a mod tool.

So they would have to make that cc encrypted or something. And it still would have to be downloaded on everyone's computer. I'm not sure everyone would like to download huge patches with CC that they can't use unless they buy it.

If they go with online and there is no option to play only option then they know what we will do. WE have given them the warnings and lessons should have been learnt from TS4 development and Sim City in the last decade. That is a frim warning as well

If TS5 is going to be online, that's it. That's it for me. That's the end for this beloved franchise for me. There are no words in the english dictionary for how utterly disappointed I would be. I know it's "just a game", but I've literally grown up with his franchise. I love it, I've always looked forward to the next iteration, this SINGLE PLAYER SANDBOX LIFE SIMULATION game that has allowed me to have my own world for so long.

The absolute absolute absolute last thing I want in my Sims game is fucking multiplayer. Knowing that I won't be enjoying the next iteration, that I've been fantasizing about since TS4's release, is just gutwrenching in a way. Again, just a game, but still.

I sincerely, genuinly, from the bottom of my heart HOPE that TS5 will be a pure single player game like 1, 2, 3 and 4. The exact same as 1, 2, 3 and 4. I don't consider the gallery to be multiplayer.

It's my game, it's my world, it's my story, it's my sims, and if they force multiplayer onto me I'll say goodbye to this franchise that I've literally grown up with since the year 2000. Go ahead and call me dramatic, I don't care.

I really hope this 'multiplayer' isn't what it sounds like. I hope it's a side-feature and that they're not basing the entire game on it. I hope it's optional. I hope they listen to the community.

You can't curse on this forum so I'll just say goshdarn, darnit, crikey, tartar sauce, golly gee aaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Does anyone actually believe that EA will reveal TS5 at E3? I don't. Also the writer of that article posted here seems to think it's absolutely a multiplayer game...I'm not so sure about all that nor that they will reveal it at E3. What I'm pretty sure about is it will have a marketplace and perhaps some challenges and or some competitive features for players to do together. Perhaps all that would be done in a server world, but I'm not completely convinced as the writer of the article is that it is completely a MMORPG. But a grose marketplace, yes..

I agree with you, honestly I see them adding an option for multiplayer (like Minecraft for example) but not requiring it. I would expect CC to simply be disabled/unavailable when joining a server with others. I wouldn’t have a problem with that, it maximizes their profits by adding something for every type of player too.

We are slowly moving away from single player games..

I think this thread is the perfect example of people who don't actually read the articles.

It is a post about what some players posted on reddit wanting to see. Actually, the title is very clear as well. What's with the clickbait OP?

It's laughable too that they said people only care about multiplayer games. Don't get me wrong, I love multiplayer games. I've played World of Warcraft since I was 8. I love me some mario party with friends, or smash bros etc.

But some games you just want a soloplayer experience, and sims is one of those experiences.

The ironic thing is that the claim that consumers only care about single player experiences came right before Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War, Spiderman And Zelda Breath of the wild all became record seller games. All singleplayer games lol.

To be honest, Sims is the only game I play. I used to play SimCity, too, back when it was still a thing. I sadly didn't get a chance to play Sims 1 because I didn't have a computer back then, but I had all of the expansions for TS2 and TS3 (plus several TS3 store sets) and I have all of the packs for TS4 that have been released so far.

I LOVE every version of this game I've played...but for me, it's not about even about gaming, at least not gaming in the traditional sense. It's about creating. It's about stories and characters in environments that I can design...and it's always served as a refuge where I could completely escape from the real world every now and again. I want my sandbox. No guided gameplay; no other players.

To make it a multiplayer online game and add a social element takes the "happy hermit safe haven" away, at least for me. If I wanted to play multiplayer games, I would. If I wanted to interact with actual humans while I play, I would...but that's never been the purpose of gaming for me. (Again, not a traditional gamer in any way. I'm purely a Simmer) so if Sims 5 goes the multiplayer online route, I'm not at all likely to follow. I'll stay with the single player versions that let me have my much needed breaks from the real world and social interaction.
