I WILL NOT PURCHASE SIMS 5 IF…

I want things to be completely gender neutral - ie, you set everything up like we do with sims 4 but with significantly more settings and options - from the start. We also need complete freedom of skin tone creation. I'd like more disability options, such as wheelchairs or other mobility aids; hearing aids; maybe stim toys that kind of things, or the options to keep headphones on permanently as a stim thing. More recognition of real life diversity in general. Like, starting with holidays but being inclusive of non-xtian ones such as muslim, hindu, buddhist, and jewish traditions (not just those that happen near xmas). Not that I wouldn't play without most of these, but, I think it's important to start from a universal perspective from the start.

If...

It doesn't include every single thing I have written down in my secret Sims 5 Wishlist notebook, which nobody but me can look at.

Man, you guys are scaring me with some of the possibilities I'm seeing here...

I won't buy TS5 if it's subscription service or online only. That's absolutely where I draw the line.

I WILL NOT PURCHASE SIMS 5 IF…
- i can't play rotationally
- it requires multiplayer or focuses on multiplayer at the expense of singleplayer
- it recquires a subscription
- the live gameplay doesn't look better than previous games.
- I can't build my own houses

... if I don't like what it offers.

I don't have a list. I wasn't fully happy with TS2 because they left a lot of TS out but I bought them all and enjoyed them (waiting for more).
I didn't just buy much TS4 just because I'm a Sims fan. I didn't like where it was going so I didn't go with it. That's all.

VR Sims could be really fun.
Buying a computer or console that could handle it isn't at the top of my financial priority list.

I'm out if it's online only, subscription based, and/or multiplayer. As it is, I've got TS4 working the way I like even if it's unstable, so I might wait until a couple of DLCs and some mods come out to make Rene closer to my current experience.

I will not purchase Sims 5 if it doesn't have a zodiac-sign system. And if it's online only, then I'm out, too. They could completely separate the online version from the non-online version, just like Sims 1.

I will not purchase sims 5 if
- it is a subscription (a total and complete no, never gonna pay monthly)
- if it is multi player only
- if it will be realism only. I want occults, not necessarily in base game but at the very least starting with the early DLC
- if Sims 5 is missing too many basics (like toddlers, pools ghosts,... . I waited with Sims 4 until we had toddlers and will do the same with Sims 5 if too much is missing

If it’s online multiplayer only I’m out. If they include the option to play offline but most features or the best ones are only for online players I’m out then too. Those are really the only nonstarters. Anything else I’ll listen and check it out before I make up my mind.

Yep, couldn't have put it better myself. For people that would enjoy multiplayer, great, options are always good, but forcing us to, or making us lose out on parts of the game if we don't? Not cool.
