Gallery is the right way to go. It encourages creativity and sharing and I would rather see them improve on that. People should be able to choose what they want in their game. If they really want the sims to have more online functionality, then it should be optional and be focused on sharing things with others. They could add things like being able to populate the world with sims from the gallery, no more weird-looking townies.

If they're looking at some form of multiplayer added to the usual single-player game, I think it's a good sign that we're not going to end up with the same start as TS4 (aka a MMO converted into a SP on an impossible deadline).
Hopefully EA will go the same route as they did with Respawn Entertainment. They were allowed to make a single-player game (Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order) but they did also a separate multiplayer-title (Apex Legends). Both were incredibly successful which gives me a small hope that if they will make the sims multiplayer then it will be a separate game.
Multiplayer will probably also not work very well either if they want to sell packs like they did with the sims4. If you download a house in the sims4 that has DLC that you have not bought, then the house is incomplete, that is not going to work online.
