I was reading an article on the sims 5 today on my phone, thought I would share it here, it is dated August 11, 2022
It says that the Sims 5 will be multiplayer, to play online with friends. It will most likely have a creator marketplace, and will likely come out in a few years.
Do you think the sims 5 will have a color wheel? That is something I really want back.

You can't tell a story when other people are involved because everyone wants to do their thing. And some people want to be weird and creepy and disruptive and mean. Anyway, I don't think that Sims 5 will be online and multiplayer, maybe they will do a spinoff, but I don't think they will do that to the main game. They killed the SimCity game because of that, hope they won't make that mistake again.
All the sims err'day
This part stands out the most: "The Sims it’s SUPER important for us to have the best tools, the most flexibility and for players to really expand on their creativity, remix items and objects in the world.”
I think we may be able to design our own worlds again and potentially see the return of Create-a-Style as well.
Not sure what to think about EA curated mods (a la bethesda) or an extra currency (gems
Personally, I will most likely skip a generation. I did that with the Sims 3 as well.
If Sims 4 isn't completely destroyed by the end of its run like Sims 3 was, I'll mod the heck out of it and see if I can get it to be something I like again. Really wish they would also update Sims 2 to play better on modern tech. I'll have to wrangle with it so I can play that again. Since the old games and new are so different, some people might like to play both.
I’m kind of interested in the creator marketplace. I don’t currently use mods or CC for a few reasons, 1. I’m not a techie and don’t want to have to move things back and forth for every update, worry about messing something up in my game, and have to wait for mod creators to update. 2. I don’t want to have to worry about bugs due to some outside mod or CC. There are already enough bugs now in my Vanilla games. After 8 years I have just barely gotten into using moo in this version of the game…. Lol. But even though I don’t use mods, I do wish I could have some of the features in my game, so I’m hoping that EA will be working in collaboration with modders and CC creators to actually let us easily bring content into the game without a hassle ( like the simplicity of buying expansion packs and downloading them through origin ).
A year or so ago, I did see a sample of a game using the unreal engine and thought it looked really good. I certainly hope they make the sims 5 a more in depth game, bring back the color wheel and patterns, for the Sims 4, I guess that’s called Create a style, That was the main thing I enjoyed about the sims 3 for the short time I played it ( I hated the rabbit holes though ). So….I hope the Sims 5 is not filled with rabbit holes….. I would like to see all jobs have a workplace, and an option to join the Sim at work or just send them on their own if you want. I do play with some larger households and would like the opportunity to change it up. I also hope that they will keep us rotational players in mind when making the game. I’m not a legacy player, but a rotational player, it keeps the game fun for me, Even when I play scenarios I have a scenario rotational save.
I hope they still make a few additional years of the sims 4 before bringing out sims 5, but I really wish they would seriously tackle the bugs in Sims 4 as well as bringing us more packs. I feel like they have already switched many of the devs that have been working on the sims 4 to 5 already. I have to admit I’m looking forward to what they could make the Sims 5…..
As for TS5 possibly being a multi-player game, it would just make my decision easier.
I don’t need to move on, either. I didn’t switch from TS3 to TS4 until 4 had been out for several years. Give me a music pack for TS4 and I can be happy playing 3 and 4 for quite a few more years.

Also looking in my crystal ball at their attempt to bring The Sims to the so called 'metaverse', I can see that creators market place being built on crypto and the market full of NFTs.

Same here with 2 and 4
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
All I required was a Generations pack and since we have that broke up into other packs, I'm mostly good. I'd still like more in-depth kids, toddlers, and elders packs but I'll be ok if we never get that.
If TS4 stopped today, all I really need is as many bug fixes as they could do.
This would be the only way I'd ever begin to consider multiplayer but even that isn't really for me. I've never played Minecraft online. The only game I ever played online was Mario Kart on the Wii, and it was a nightmare. I see my sons and husband play "Crossout" and "For Honor" and get frustrated. I always tell them that's why I don't do online play. I'm happy in my little bubble, doing things at my own pace.
You have a good point, picking who you played online with. There are several people on here I feel would make good simming partners. Something like that I would be far more open to than just whatever random gamer I happen across. Simming with the real world version of random townies, hard pass. Simming with my friends, and only my friends, is something I would give real thought too.
I think I would like multiplayer, too, as long as I could choose who I play with. Unfortunately, I live in a rural area that has no high speed internet options. Zero! It’s cell phone data or nothing, and I don’t think I could manage multi-player that way. I have an ‘unlimited data’ phone plan but what that really means is, ‘once you go over a modest amount of data, we’re gonna slow you down so badly it’s unusable, but hey, you can keep trying for an unlimited amount of time.’
But if there’s an option for offline, single-player, too, I’m in. I’d keep playing previous versions, too, like I do now with Sims 2 and 3.
You'd think Maxis might have learned from the debacle of Sim City 5?
Anyway if it's a few years away and enough people kick up a stink about it, they might change tack a bit. We'll see.
