Google "sims 4 multiplayer mod". It's a thing that exists, although I can't comment as to how well it works.

It seems silly to me, especially with the lot-based nature of sims 4. You could hang out with a friend virtually instead of just talking on the phone with them, but without objectives it sounds like it could get boring fast. (You'd have to have invite only neighborhoods. Open public ones would be a PR nightmare waiting to happen.) So while it would be nice to have the option to let someone else have control over another household member sim, I'm not sure what feature it'd be worth dropping to free up programmer time for that.

Well, it may or may not work, if it is even intended to become multiplayer. At the same time, your sim that you control is forging relationships with other sims controlled by other human beings. In the end, isn't that the ultimate "Sims experience"?

Not for me. Not at all. If I want to forge relationships with other human beings, it's certainly not going to be in the Sims.

"For me" is the key element. There are people who would disagree, and I don't just mean ignorant fence-sitters like me. I think it would be beneficial for all of you to take a wait-and-see approach. The information is from a blog notorious for click-bait rabble rousing, and a theoritical Sims 5 is a long way off. They're going to do what they want to do anyway; no point in tearing the "community" apart while waiting.

I know there's no point in jumping to conclusions but its easy to do with how a lot of game companies have been doing things of late

The community. They don't play well together. Why do you think so many Simmers have to hide chat just on the Sims streams alone?

Am I supposed to imply "weakness"? Will this get me a seat at the lunch table?

I don't think the community is "bad" per se. Petty, not bad -- too much obsession with forum status, not enough joy.

Ugh that is what I would hate in a Sims online game, is its need to be utopian. Bad enough dealing with totalitarianism American ideas just with the Sims 4 as it is. I'm a pyro deviant. Sims 5 creating another "safe space" would not appeal to deviants like me.

I understand. I'm something of an iconoclast. It is a pity that we couldn't be friends; I feel we could have gotten along well.

I thought you called yourself a deviant recently? "I may be a deviant". Are you changing tunes already? https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/17388574#Comment_17388574

"Deviant" with tongue-in-cheek. I don't think things are as big a deal as others, I enjoy The Sims 4, etc. That makes me a "deviant", as far as the boards go. You know, not a Real Simmer (TM).

So identity crisis got it. Saying you don't want multiplayer then you do the next moment. I remember you calling yourself a real Simmer too. Quite interesting watching you argue with yourself and disagree with yourself. I will make a note to take you as seriously as Colton. I do miss his posts about Justine Keaton.

If you play the game in any capacity you're a simmer. What do you mean when you say a "Real Simmer™"?

Just poking fun at a lot of the gatekeeping that goes on in the community. Such things are not unique to The Sims fandom, mind you.
