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?

We had a incident not to long ago with simmer who was sexually harassing underage kids, the result from that was a huge backlash that it ended a sim guru's career. If EA is smart, they will not try to pull the online stunt again cause that will open the flood gates for any creep who's trying to get close to kids online, yes sims is a teen rated game but that's not stopping clueless parents from buying the game for their kids. Also people online can be an annoyance, you have people trolling, kids flying off the handle crying, getting cussed out over ridiculous stuff. If people couldn't handle a dislike button here on forums, do you really think their going to be able to handle all of that? For me, the sims just isn't the kind of game that's meant to multiplayer. That's why a lot of people were not feeling the idea of sparked. I honestly just want to play my way without someone coming in and changing my game.
