I WILL NOT PURCHASE SIMS 5 IF…

I do not think even if they did do a good job id get it.
I cannot fathom how there was a sims 2 server fire AND IT STILL TURNED OUT BETTER THAN THE SIMS 4!!!!

There is simply no excuse for it being so bad, i have almost all the sims 4 packs and i still find myself favouring ts3-2 over it.

If the sims do not look real for once. so I don't have to find mods just to make them look so. And if it is only only. otherwise sims team hear this. It will be goodbye have been with from the beginning and it will be hello Paralives!

My list:

Forced Multiplayer

Microtransactions;

And the worst offender of all:

Any kind of non-fungible token (NFT). It seems probable that they will jump on this fad. Hot Wheels already did for some reason.

I won't buy sims 5, whatever the final name is, if it is not an upgrade from Sims 3. I can predict this with 100% accuracy because my family decided to skip Sims 4 because it was such a downgrade from previous Sims games. I mean, babies in basinets you don't get to carry around your home, we didn't have that since Sims 1 folks... Sims 4, yes I've played it when it became Free, it has the open neighborhoods that are playable, but the neighborhoods can't be altered like previous games. It wouldn't be so bad if most of what you see weren't just decoration anyways.

Now that I've gotten a chance to vent... I can predict it with 100 percent accuracy that the new sims game must be an upgrade to previous games. Making it an upgrade to Sims 4 isn't too hard, which is probably why you guys did it that way. I tell myself that after a hit like TS3 you knew whatever you pumped out next would suffer by comparison, so you let it suffer so that your next game could be 10 times better. DON'T RUIN MY EXPECTATION!

There are a lot of things that will make me less interested in the newer Sims - if the multiplayer ends up more like an MMO rather than "play with your friend," if the build tools aren't as robust, or if the business model seems even more costly than Sims already is.

However, I think that will REALLY draw the line for me is how much CC creators are supported and how many move on to the new game vs. sticking to the old ones. As a builder, CC is what makes this game for me, and I can't imagine the game having remotely the same appeal to me if it didn't have that. I typically don't even like simulation type games as a whole, but Maxis' support of CC and the amazing creators out there have made a game that would never otherwise be my jam end up as something I have thousands of hours in.

I think Paralives looks great with what they've showcased so far, so this isn't a negative comment on my part, but it seems a little weird to jump there if Sims 5 fails to deliver on realism since their character design seems just as unrealistic, with its almost hand-drawn vibe. I don't know where alpha fans should head, if not to CC, but I feel like if that's your style, Paralives isn't going to scratch that itch either.

If there's a subscription to play or I'm forced to play online/multi-player, I'm gonna have to pass.

If the game is online multiplayer only. This will really put me off as the Sims is my escape when I don't want to interact with people. Also if there are too many expansion packs. I do feel that the Sims 4 is too large in terms of its expansion packs and mini packs (excluding the kits). I've been playing for a few years now (this version) and don't have all of the packs. Doubt I ever will as there are simply too many.

If it’s subscription based game. That’s basically the only reason that could prevent me from trying it out. Other than that, I’m curious what it will add to the franchise.

The game is a rehash of 4 in all respects only with a new number
It is multi-player only or single players get only inferior scraps
By subscription/endless cash grabbing
It is essentially a kid's game that will bore me within a few minutes.

I doubt I will be interested in Sims 5. I have Sims 2, 3 4 and Medieval and I will continue to play these games. I enjoy Sims 4 but it has been a roller coaster ride with the bugs and buggy packs and some of the gameplay introduced that doesn't work as I thought it would. I also don't want to play a multiplayer game with subscription. When Sims 4 ends I do plan to get mods to help improve the areas of gameplay I am not happy with, like the obsessive phone use for example, and plan to enjoy all my sims offline. When computers came about and gaming started, I was hooked right away. But then you bought a game and it was yours. Today the trend seems to be more and more that gaming companies own the games and control them and charge fees for their use. I was so disappointed when I played The Pirates Online with my family and it was discontinued. With the money spent on it (needed membership and I had family plan for the kids as well) I enjoyed it while it lasted but realized I prefer having my own games on a disc. Times change and we need to change with them, but I am not giving up the games that I love and still have discs for. Hopefully my grandson, who is a marvel with computers already, will be able to keep my older ones going!
