When are you guys going to let players join each others game?

As far as I’m concerned never. For me that’s not what sims is about. Also because we are so free to do with sims whatever we like them to do, it could so easily become... weird. Creepy even. It’s not comparable to games with set gameplay, where players can play together.

Let me add my voice to the chorus of Simmers saying that they really, really do not want multiplayer.

Lol well it seems to be very divided in opinion.. I for one would love to be able to jump into each other’s worlds and play online. Honestly it’s kinda behind of the sims not to have branched out into the online platform at this point. Not only that, some of my fondest memories of the sims are from multiplayer way back on early console games. That shared experience of playing with a friend is currently missing from the game. What is the ultimate life simulation if we aren’t all hooked up to it and interacting behind avatars/sims?? Not to get all The Matrix on everyone, but online and multiplayer is the future for the Sims. But wether they pull it off or not, is another question. Don’t they have the same people that did TS4 behind the wheels on 5?? Hmmmmm.. That’s a far more concerning choice than amy multiplayer mode imo..

Never, they don't need another multiplayer that allows pedophiles to interact with children. How hasn't this come across anyone's mind? Yes a teen is still very much a child. Another thing is bullying among multiplayer games. Not a good idea all around. Most parents don't keep an eye on their children and will buy them anything nowadays. This concept doesn't sit well with me.

I've played the sims for 20 years and the thing that made me a complete fan of the game (and i wouldn't call me a gamer, i dont play any other game) is the ability to make my own game at my liking. A sand box. My sand box.
A long time ago ive tried second life. Man, does this multiplayer experience has nothing to do with the sims! And, as already said, forget about rating it T cause multiplayer will make this game adult for sure. My girl plays the sims and im totally ok with that, but i wouldn't allow her to play if it was multiplayer. No way!
This thread makes me will for a couple (or more) years of content for sims 4. Even knowing that there's a lot to do in what concerns to personality and relationships in sims 4, i prefer to get more content for it and when it eventually changes to be this up to date multiplayer whatever game, i mod my game and enjoy my sims as ive always done.

Never, I hope!
I would never allow somebody else to play in MY town or with MY Sims! I couldn´t even imagine how awkward it would be for me if somebody changes even the slightes bit of anything I´ve build in MY game!
You would never know with whom you play and what this person has in mind with the Sims. We can play nearly every scenario we want in our games and having somebody in my game who has a different idea of what the Sims should do.... Nope!
And if you search for people who hide behind an avatar and "play with life", well, then play Second Life or it´s equally unsuccessfully successor Sansar. Play this games and you´ll see what The Sims will become if they were online. But prepare for the scum who runs havoc in this games!

If Sims 5 will be online I would even happily play The Sims 4 if I can´t play The Sims 3 anymore when it is unplayable on new computers.

I find the idea of multiplayer in the sims rather creepy. No, my sim does not want to make out or try for baby with your sim.

The actual game of the Sims should remain single player (in my opinion). If they want to try an online game for the third or fourth time just don't let it be the actual game, let it be a spin off.

New member... new account... EA hinting an unconfirmed possibility of a multiplayer Sims... are you an employee??

Half life 3 CONFIRMED!

ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!

Jokes aside. I don’t want nobody touching my Sims save file and manipulating the stories I am creating unless I provide them the save file.

Nope. Not going to happen. Never. No thank you. You can go back to your IMVU/Second Life/VR Chat...

There, you said it (that's exactly what crosses my mind, and the bullying, I'm just too yellow to say it up-front). It's already noticeable every now and then within the community as it is now (that small part I'm active in, Twitter), imagine what it will be like when it's in our games.

It's like the EA CEO opened a few accounts here and trying to convince real simmers that his online multiplayer idea is good! :*

ROFL.

As far as Maxis buidling yet again another multiplayer, ok, go ahead do that for console players, but don't expect pc players to buy it.
Or not to trash it.

As far as the header question: Hello, you have had your online multi games,co- op versions for 2 and 3, and TSO, and Sims Social, and SC2013, and SCMoblie, and Free Play and TSM4. It's not like you (OP) haven't had a go at it. Don't expect die hard pc players who understand the formula of The Sims to go along with yet again a different version with multiplayer options yet again. No thank you.
