Sims Online

Some people think that this could not work very well, I agree in parts. I mean, I still want a world that I can fully customize. It would be strange to have my house and next door a completely crazy or bizarre aesthetic. If you understand me. But a partially online game would go very well!

The other day I played The Sims 4 online with my friend through that mod and it was a really fun experience! I used traces of a lot that I don’t usually use, interactions that I wouldn’t use under any circumstances because I always build positive and non-negative stories ... So I agree that allowing our sims to be visited by our friends or vice versa would be a good way to create an experience that was neither invasive nor unpleasant. So it's easy to manipulate and have control over what happens in each person's game, without any kind of negative situation.

I remember it was just chatting while skilling up and earning money. Most people didn't spend time at their house lots, but instead on other people's lots that had many skill objects. If you wanted other people to hang out at your lot you had to provide activities and skill objects. Otherwise there was not much to do.

The Sims Online was a grind fest. I really can't like grind fests. I have played many grind fest games, however, none multiplayer, as I took a look around The Sims Online at the time. It was filled with players' Sims and they were not even on line, but had left their Sims there to skill up. That is all it was. Some players liked it because they formed little cliques between themselves. I can't stand cliques, so yeah, I would not touch it with a ten foot pole. I'm not into factions, and on line monopolies.

Sims Online was for cults and horny people. No thank you!

No Thank you.

Have you tried Second Life? It's a virtual world, like giant chat rooms and you control an avatar that represents you. You can chat with other "real life" people either in local chat, private messaging or voice chat.

There is no goal to it tho, it's not techincally a "game". It's more like a virtual socialization. But you can build and shop and "do stuff".

No, non, nyet, nein...

If you ask me, it's not worth trading away features like open world, create a world, create a style just so I can see other players or interact with them in limited ways.

You can try the sims4 multiplayer mod, if you are curious what the sims4 could have turned into if they hadn't stopped trying to make it multiplayer. Or watch the videos where James Turner and Dr Gluon is playing it.

For me it will be the end of The Sims franchise if that happens.

Nope, It's a no for me. Single players games are becoming a rare breed these days and gaming companies want every game to be online/multiplayer. We've tried this dance multiple times before and just doesn't work, it has flopped/failed each time and with ea's history of poor of online servers, crashing, loading issues, loot boxes, microtransactions- it won't survive long. Can you really imagine having to pay for cas items or visit someone's lot? Best believe you will be paying out pocket for something to make up the expenses while being online/ playing multiplayer. Ea isn't going to hand that option/feature for free without a cost attached to it. Most people don't even feel comfortable talking to strangers online and you can't count on your friends being available to play online all the time either. But if they do for whatever reason make it multiplayer/online then do it but just keep as optional. Games like Mario party and among us work for multiplayer but not so much the sims.
