Will the Sims 5 have a story line.
I am not saying I want a liner sims but do you think The Sims 5 will have more of a storyline something like Strangerville or The X-Files or Where's Bella (Sims 3 chaps)of course it’s totally optiona...

If it's done like Strangerville, count me in. If it's more along the lines of the Life stories or Medieval, then I'm not going to touch that "game" with a ten foot pole.
Especially I do not want storylines tied to certain households. If I decidede to adopt a premade household, I want to make them mine, not play out what the devs want me to experience. For example it is implied that Jacques Villareal killed his wife for the inheritance, while in most of my saves they simply broke up over different world views and sometimes get together again.
It would be nice if you could choose from several templates when you create a household in CAS and then in life mode the game starts the story. Templates could be "This sim's wife is missing, find out where she went" and you slap that on a male or female sim and also define which of the kids (if any) are of the missing sim. Maybe the wife was an alien all along and only on earth to study humankind, in this case the children will later show signs of that heritage. Or she was abducted by a criminal syndicate that will force your sim to do their bidding (at the very least regular payments until the wife is rescued). That way the player keeps full control over their sims, but can still opt into a storyline.
