I haven't seen enough to worry me one way or the other about gameplay or build/buy stuff, what worries me is the multiplayer aspect. I play with mods, always have, every Sims game to date. I worry what having a multiplayer mode will mean for us being able to use mods. I also worry about the possibility of always having to be online, which would mean if we got an update we would have no choice but to download the patch, whether we wanted to or wanted to wait. These two things would be deal breakers for me from the get go, even before seeing gameplay or build/buy features.
