When I was little back in TS2 times my friends and I thought it could be cool, but now I'm hoping it never happens - not in the main series. The Sims Online must be in the gaming books on "how not to" considering how I still encounter mentions of horrors that happened there. There are way too many disgusting people out there for an online life simulator unless extremly heavy moderation, but we are talking about EA/Maxis who still allow for incest/pedo bug to happen in TS4! After so many years! When I was little I played strongly moderated kids oriented games and things still went wrong from time to time.
As for my personal prefrences, I want to rest from any kind of people when I play not to engage with them in any form - I don't even use gallery.
Overall, it will be another "murdered by EA's innovations" for me. And what for? With TS4 model it already must be bringing money not every loot box can bring. The irony of how we already have a few examples of how EA breaks things people love to make money and then fails to even, well, make money is too much. The fact that they still attempt to do so even more.
That said, from seeing trends, lurking forums and reading interviews I doubt we still have a choice. Feels like they are testing waters for something that is already in work. Hope it's just a feeling.
