I WILL NOT PURCHASE SIMS 5 IF…

Deal breakers for me are pretty similar to others:
Mandatory Subscription, internet connection, online multiplayer play.
or
Subscription and multiplayer isn't mandatory but items, packs or gameplay is locked behind them.

Oh and I've seen a few people mention no occult play might be a thing. That would be a deal breaker for me as well since the majority of my gameplay revolves around occults.

If I can't rotate households or create my own world/neighborhood/whatever from scratch. Sims 4's only saving grace is that you can rotate households - and while I do enjoy the game, the limitations get on my nerves. I came from Sims 2, and don't recall ever feeling as limited as I do now.

Hm well, with this new news, if TS5 is F2P and is lots of micro transactions i wont even test it out. I will be done with any new sims content.

EA continues this trend of limiting the game because of people playing on "minspecs" computers, which was stated why the new world coming in the Growing Together EP is only coming with 12 lots once AGAIN!

I'm sick of it! They charge an outrageous amount of money for nothing! I can't even have my entire extended family live close to each other in these tiny worlds because there's only 4 Lots per neighborhood! Who only has 4 houses in a neighborhood?!!!

ONE FREAKING LOT LOADS AT A TIME! NOT THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 lots per neighbourhoods is too small ?. 5-6 at least would be so good! ?

StrangerVille has 11 lots. Really 10 as you can’t edit the secret lab. 2 neighbourhoods with 5 lots each was much better.

Why wasn’t the military base made an active lot? And once you complete the mystery an option to custom the lab could pop up if you have no interest in replaying the mission with another family in the same save file.

Simulation lag! See quote tweet and tweet

I won't be playing Sims 5 if it's forced multiplayer. I have no interest in playing with friends or strangers. Sims has always been a single player game and I'd like it to stay that way. I also won't play if it's filled with microtransactions. I don't want items and content locked behind a paywall. I accept buying expansions and such but if most content is locked and needs to be purchased with real money I'm out! I'm also very nervous about the Sims emotions animations. Sims flip their emotions very quickly in Sims 4. If they flip that fast in 5 the emotion animations will look stupid and annoying. Edit: oh yeah, rotation play is a must for me.

I will not "buy" Sims 5 since it is Free To Play and a Mobile title - micro transactions only game. It is almost as bad as mandatory multiplayer. I am simply not interested in the mobile game market nor in the monetizing of games.

If Sims 5 is free to play or has microtransactions, I won't be buying it. Forced multiplayer is another reason I wouldn't play. If co-op is optional and it can be switched off then that is fine. I don't want to play with anyone else. Honestly, this time around, I will be waiting until after it is released and I can see some game play before I buy.

When I saw that job posting for someone to essentially manage and plan the microtransactions, that was my immediate thought.

And it was specifically for "Project Rene", not an independent Freeplay/Mobile successor. My problem is that it seems to me that EA's plan is to roll the next PC and mobile Sims titles into one game.

If they do away with adding any cc we want and do micro-transactions of any kind. The sims is NOT fortnite - if that happens, I won't touch it with a ten foot pole.
