I liked the idea of friend accounts being able to build together, and having live build challenges in game. I also would be happy with the gallery + friend sharing. I'd be okay-ish with a community neighborhood/small world (for those who want it, I personally wouldn't play it), as long as it wasn't the focus of the game, and was optional/basic.
I definitely don't want the sims freeplay/mmo type game, or any gated off 'connect to multiplayer to visit' in the single player game. If ea/maxis absolutely couldn't resist putting micro transactions/loot boxes in (I strongly disagree with the concept), I don't want to see any allusions to them in the single player version.
