I'm confused.. everybody seems to be turned off by the potential of TS5 being multiplayer, and I'm not really sure why. Think of how fun it would be to visit your friends towns/worlds, interact with their sims, and go on dates/adventures/etc.
For those that only play singleplayer, then EA should introduce the multiplayer style in a way that won't impact the individuals who prefer to play on their own. EA should look at games like Minecraft, Animal Crossing, and Stardew Valley. All of these games allow you to get the full experience in singleplayer, but also allow for multiplayer experiences as well. How awesome would it be if TS5 was like this?
My thoughts on why I hate it
Ewww dates with other simmers that could be children....umm NO!! If they put it online I pray they will remove all romance from the game.
Let’s kill the modding community because mods will probably be non existent with every thing online. Sims without mods is like peanut butter without jelly.
I don’t want other simmers messing around with my storyline I created for my sims.
There are enough social platforms for people to talk on we don’t need the sims added to it.
In games like Animal Crossing & Stardew Valley, you choose the specific people who are able to visit your towns / world. I think if TS5 was multiplayer, this would have to be the case as well.
Choosing who and when someone can enter your 'worlds' is not multiplayer. That is more like co-op. I think some (not you) don't understand the differences. I see here often some say but it would be fun to play with friends. Maybe for them but that would be a co-op setup and not an actual multiplayer game like WOW. A setup like co-op already exists in console versions of 2 and 3. How many are loving those still yet? Not many.
Distinction between co-op and multiplayer:
Quote:It is important to distinguish a cooperative or co-op game from a PvP(player vs. player or player vs. player). Both are multiplayer modes, but while in a PvP you compete against the other human players of the game, in a Co-Op you are collaborating with them, either to solve puzzles or problems or to end a common enemy controlled by the game itself .
