Will you still roleplay as the opposite sex in a TS5 MMO?

I don't want to do online romantic play at all with people I'm not romantically involved with in real life.

Then vote! Why are polls so crappy on this forum?

I will not play TS5 if it's an MMO. But I often play male Sims so why wouldn't I play a male character in an MMO? Or is that supposed to be me? then no, because I don't play any avatar games. I'm not the character and never will be.

I never play as the opposite sex.

Still roleplay? I don't view it as roleplaying with the vast majority of my Sims.

I probably wouldn't want my Sim romancing other players' Sims, though. And I'm not into MMOs.

The Sims is different from avatar games and many Simmers would go into the game at least somewhat bringing their preconceived notions of that with them, right?

I don't want to play a TS5 MMO life sim game. But I do play a tablet game Cooking Diary and the Borderlands series in multiplayer. I always choose to play the female characters/avatars because that's what I am. I would feel like I'm deceiving all the other players if I played a male character/avatar.

But when I play all the offline life sim games, I actually try to play both male and female characters equally. That's because I don't put my own identity in either of them. I'm like an author writing out the lives and adventures of my characters' stories.

Yeah that is why I would play female characters too in them even my ACNH character is female. Ready Player One was such a good book describing how use of an avatar in a game can change how you are treated in it. I mean I wouldn't want to deceive other women with a male avatar. MMOs I wouldn't trust especially since we have already had illegal activities done towards teens as it is at the cost of Maxis workers. I wouldn't want to endanger them or the Gurus by deceptive people. I figure someone has something to hide if they refuse to play as the gender they identify with in that setting while I agree I make my own Sims equally too in the offline games. I haven't heard of Cooking Diary.

Let me clarify, I play all the Sims I create, as others said I am the story teller, their god, so I play them all, I'm not the character. I don't role play.

If they take it that direction will it be 18+ only? Because far more awkward than flirting with the same gender if that’s not your interest, is going to be finding out as an adult you have been flirting with a minor. ? I hope they don’t do this to The Sims, because it will lead to nothing but trouble.

I don't do romance in MMOs. Actually, I don't do MMOs.

So I won't be playing a Sims 5 MMO. (I'm a Storyteller in the Sims)

It has nothing to do with being comfortable with romance when playing a character who identifies differently than me or not. It has to do with I don't RP with random people in a non-dedicated RP setting. (Conventions or a couple of specific RP sites where I'm playing through clear storylines, not random everyday events.) And I'm very cautious about the Romantic RP in those situations, usually leading towards None.

I don't role play Sims at all. I play characters as the director of their stories. Some are female, some are male, at least one is neither. With that being said, I won't be playing an MMO Sims game because my game is my world alone. I definitely would not play one that requires you to participate as an avatar. I've tried the online avatar games a few times and didn't like them. To me, they had the whiff of sleeziness about them that I don't want in my Sims world.
