Sims 5: What sort of multiplayer game play would you most like

I don't mind at least some multi-player option but I don't think Sims should ever go entirely multi-player. One of its charms is being able to do your own thing and be completely in control of your own game going multi-player only would ruin it.

Also in general I prefer games that can be played offline and solo. I like connecting with friends in some games but can't get into games that are exclusively multi-player.

I don't think The Sims would ever go fully multi-player cuz the Sims is usually about building our own houses/lots etc, and it wouldn't make sense if we could only build on one lot that no one could touch or not get to build anything at all cuz everyone will be editing it.

My guess is if they were to go down this route, perhaps only certain lots would be multi-player and most probably we won't be able to edit the lot, etc.

I personally don't mind a bit of multi-player and I would want an offline version too.

If the main game is offline with the option to visit other players worlds or engage in an optional online element, I’m okay with that. If the single player game is an afterthought and isn’t fully realized, I’m not interested.

I don't think a massive multiplayer option is technically possible with this complicated game. I also don't see anonymous adults and minors playing TS together. It would require a severe 18+ rating.

I am not a fan of multiplayer at all, but I have nothing against the Gallery, which could be considered an online component.


However, a way for mods to automatically update is needed badly. Much like the Steam Workshop, it would make adding, managing, and updating mods so much easier. It is very annoying having to delete old mods, download them again, and then reinstall them every time a patch drops.

I'm not interested at all in a multiplayer game. When I play The Sims it's something I do for alone time. Additionally, I pretty much have zero interest in seeing another Sims installment at this point given the poor job that EA has done with TS4. There would have be a substantial improvement to TS4 before I would even consider purchasing a TS5.

I prefer to just play solo but the idea of a multiplayer option alongside sounds fun. I would pair this with asking/allowing permission to join a group or another player in a game just for added privacy.

I mean in complete honesty probably what i would do :lol: maybe id play it for a bit with the forum folk create army of Vlad or something

but I just can't picture myself enjoying multiplayer for more than like day or two really

like real life socializing is draining enough i don't want to also socialize with real people in game that is supposed to be my escape from humanity

maybe itd be bearable if it was just specific world and some chat thing i could completely avoid but also that kinda gives me habbo hotel flashbacks

I wouldn't mind multiplayer so long as it was optional, because I do like the alone time etc the game gives me. I think the easy solution would just be a toggle like "let your friends visit you?" and therefore only have people you trust visit you. Because I'd hate if some rando just came over my sims house and destroyed stuff or whatever.

The main problem would be CC... obviously, not everyone is going to have the same CC, and with the fact CC is one of the things that is currently keeping TS4 alive, I worry about the TS5 not having that same community of CC creators etc, if the game isn't as compatible with it's usage.

None at all.
