- logionX3 years agoSeasoned AcePositives:
Single player will be available.
The fact that they announced that they are working on it.
Apartments (probably, it said "apartment selection" on the screen in the video)
More detailed items (we could see smaller decorative items on things like tables and sofas)
Items look less clunky and can be placed closer to each other.
Easier to rotate and place items.
Ability to add additional decorative items to build/buy items.
Create a style with swatches and color wheel.
Variants of build/buy items (a bed was able to switch between a single bed and a double bed)
The style looked a bit more realistic (although it was difficult to tell)
Negatives:
Cross platform with mobile, I hope that this will not mean that there will be limitations with the engine and this will be a downgrade from the sims4. I don't like loading screens and rabbit holes.
Online functionality, will take up a lot of development time for a feature that I will probably never use. - Chicklet453683 years agoSeasoned AceI'm still confused about the "multi-player" part. Is it going to be for actually playing the game or just creating/designing in a collaboration style for lots, venues, rooms, etc? I re-watched that part of the stream 3x and I'm still not sure.
I mean I saw where there were other people in that room, because you could see their names whenever they were mousing around and doing stuff in the room. I also saw a number in the upper left corner (maybe to indicate either how many other players are on that lot or maybe how many people are on your friend's list). I also noticed a green dot on the avatar in that same area of the UI, which typically indicates if you are online).Spoilerhttps://i.imgur.com/fh2wAq2.png
And, I saw where you could save your creation either for only yourself or share with anybody on "Maxis Lab" it said, which I'm sure will not be the name but more like what the gallery is. It also said that a copy of the creation (in the example they showed, it was a room) would also be saved in the catalog and in the player's library.
But what I'm most confused about is if it's going to be more a private online thing and not an actual MMO because I also heard her say something about "You can choose to play or create by yourself or with your closest friends regardless of what platform they're on".
All in all, I personally am super excited about the next iteration being "officially announced". And I'm even MORE excited for the return of the color-wheel and some sort of scaled down CASt option. And ridiculously excited for the ability to choose different aspects of the objects (headboard, footboard, sheets, etc) freely being able to place items and to rotate them on any axis, etc.
And if they give us the ability to edit/modify the world as we want (without all of the fake buildings and useless real estate space) along with the ability to create our own apartments (in any world we chose) ..... I will be 1st of the line buyer.
Plus if this is the art style they're going with, I'm ok with it. It's a little more realistic (more details on items) not quite so cartoonish, and much less fisher price doll-house clunky and chunky.
Overall, I'm pleased!!
But, I will add ...... if it's an MMO, where complete strangers are roaming around anywhere and everywhere causing havoc here, there, and yonder, you can definitely count me out! I played Second Life for over 9 years, been there ... done that! Not doing it again.
Private areas where you have to invite other people to visit if you choose I'm ok with. Because I don't have any online friends (or RL friends who play this game) so that would be perfectly fine with me since it would be irrelevant to me personally.
And another thing ...... If the "solo play" is dummied down so much to be able to accommodate this cross-platform ability (not sure how a phone will be able to handle a "real game") and it turns out to be TS4.2 .... I also won't shell out money for this game because if I was ok with limitations and non-depth gameplay, I would stick with TS4. - i_am_jellybelly3 years agoNew SpectatorI honestly think they are piggybacking off Paralives... I'm still looking forward to it tho!

Why not? Why can't I? What is different this time?
I read "cross platforms" and I remember how TS4 started. "Rflong7;c-18193755" wrote:

Of course you can. ? I just wanted to know why. And now I do.- so far
no thank you
no thank you
and also
no thank you.
then again idk maybe thats exactly what I need to happen with ts5
maybe I just need to be free to not like it at all
it would be more heartbreaking if it was like full no thank you except then there was absolutely gorgeous and stunning dragons in it so i would end up playing it anyway while disliking 99% of the game and being grumpy all the time
like i would rather it falls into that sims mobile/freeplay category of i couldn't care less it barely exists to me
anyway this is about the time we should really focus on what ts4 still needs to be playable and fun even after they ditch it for project I don't care - I already felt indifferent for TS5. So far it sounds like a deeper fall into the social pit of mobile games. You'd think they would showcase the sims instead of a decor simulator, which is fine because it's part of the game. But The Sims should be the main focus.
ETA: but then again I feel like TS4 has slowly turned into a social platform simulator. I have stopped buying content so future games won't be any different. - ChadSims23 years agoRising RookieHard to tell the build mode options look great being able to choose color patterns and other details of items takes away all the limitations of Sims 4 extremely limited swatch catalog but it's also going to be on mobile that part sounds horrible how limited is this game going to be. The game is in early development so I won't judge to hard of how low quality everything looks now but that could be the curse of mobile.
The deal breaker for me still remains will I be able to edit worlds will cars be a thing and will the game have all life stages I see no reason to jump to any other game without these things Sims 4 at least has all life stages besides preteen once the patch comes next year.
