I was thinking a lot of people have complained about the empty building that are made to make the cities look full not being playable. I was thinking what if for one time fee of 50 dollars the Sims 4 goes online...hear me out....not the base game, stuff pack, game packs, an expansion packs, all that will be playable on your computer as. Keep building new content for the game but kind of make it like the console games where we can cross each other as live players at the same time a world just for that, where we pick and chose who can come in and share it with us. An on another note by activating the online play you would be able to explore all the buildings that not functional in game and actually go into a deeper detailed game play like one building might be a Graphic Design building where artist inspired could take on new tasks, responsibilities and deeper game play. or if you maxed out in the athletic skill one build could be where the boxing matches are and you can really box other sims in live time...more interaction and deeper game play.....

Not to mention, have you seen what photorealistic, CC-heavy Sims look like without their CC? *shudders* I don't want those freaks in my game.

I hear you would still have the base game, game packs, stuff packs, and expansions packs on your computer to play by yourself, i just figured most people computer couldn't handle if the Sims 4 team opened up all the empty building in the game, it would require online game play where memory and hard drive can't get in the way...this would allow for a deeper detailed game play that a lot of simmer complain the game don't have, and of course there should be a rule where cc characters can't join in.....
right exactly, but you wouldn't be able to go into your actually their would be an online city where players can meet each other and do things like compete against each other, like there would an Olympic building where sims with maxed body building skills could compete and Olympic and train and learn new Olympic skills, or sims would be able to go to boxing arena and box each for money, or go to college and sit in the same classes together....be totally emerged in live game play and interactions and still able to leave and return to the base game and all the other games you have on your computer individually...no one would be able to interfere with your base game but you could call them an as long as your c connected to the internet the game would take to the "internet" city.....
well it sounded like a great ideal in my head, you would have a choice to chose online play, your base game, expansion packs, stuff packs, and game packs is your personal play...the online feature would just add a deeper game play that simmers are always complaining about the game doesn't have, i love the Sims 4 and it sad to see many people cry about the game, but if they bring toddlers back that would make the Sims 4, I was enthusiastic for the vintage stuff pack, and i'm not to excited about The Vampires expansion pack that is rumored to come out, the only thing that's exciting to be about a new expansion pack is getting an extra world because have about 20 families that need a home...lol...
Unfortunately the reason why the game doesn't have the deeper game play is because it used to be an online version called Olympus... After they tried and failed with making SimCity 2013 Online, they decided to rip out all the online stuff and hastily recode it for single-player.
The result is The Sims 4.
They 'could' make an online game separate from the main Sims series, they have done it before... But it has always crashed and burned, due to them usually turning out to be little more than a Sims styled chatroom, trying to do a full Sims game with multiple players is too much for a system to handle.
Right on i hear you....and it would be nice if we could actually build our own apartments in any city, i have a gang of families that need homes....
Yeah i feel you, i wouldn't want that either, but just was an ideal so i'm glad to heat what ya'll think of it...
right on...
There are many options to make it possible to play the Sims as multiplayer online. One option is used successfully in the Sims Freeplay which everybody can play for free but where people also can choose to buy extra clothes or unnecessary objects for high prices. Apparently there are more than enough paying players to make this very profitable too. But the price is that EA then can't sell all the huge number of expansions and that the game is in real time with less detailed graphics. The limitations also are that at most one sim at the time can visit a neighbor's city (and only a copy of his city) and that we can't have a population of more than 34 sims in our game.
A game server which opened up some of the rabbit holes in TS4 would be expensive for EA to make. It could be done in many ways though even though the rest of the game still would be offline. But EA would want a monthly fee or EA would soon take the server down again and I don't think that people would pay for this.
The most realistic multiplayer option for a game like TS4 would be to give us an option such that we could connect with a friend and to play two games at the same time while visiting eachother's cities. This could be done without needing a server. So it wouldn't be that expensive for EA to make possible. But the problem still is if many simmers would like it enough to want to pay for it?
