I find this very informative. I am not a multiplayer and never will be.
I usually don't say anything much, but I will put my 2 cents in here. Sims4 should have been a spin-off to me. This is not my sandbox game, this is Maxis' sandbox (I think they made it their sandbox game so we get a small taste of what a multiplayer game can be before they release the next one, which will probably be multiplayer).
They don't even play the game, they just make it the way they want to, regardless of new or old bugs, and rely on modders to fix their mess! The mods were "icing on the cake" in prior games, but Sims4 is more a "mods required" to play imo.
Never have I ever had to mod a game prior, but this game really requires it. Do I use mods? I tried, but due to all the patches, updates, new content coming out.....and modders having to fix it over and over again...I gave up! I would need more mods than the packs they already have....just to play it "my way".
They really wanted multi-player and won't stop till they get it. Let them bring it, I won't be any part of it.
