What would have happened if Olmypus came out instead of TS4?

What do u think would have happened?

JoxerTM22 · August 2015

Nothing.
It'd run for a while then eventually EA would kill the server just like they did with Pet Society.

MDancer9112 · August 2015

I bet it would be worse than Sims Online, that was TERRIBLE...

It would be taken over by griefers and people doing inappropriate things for shock value. The normal players would just leave and the game would die shortly afterwards.

I wish it had, instead of what they have done to the pc series. My opinion. A big goodbye party to the long time Simmers I have known over the years. I wouldn't be on the Olympus 'site' would have remained at the TS3 to find the things I wanted for the game (like tractors, lol) and continued it with it and the TS2 as I watched the site dwindle down to a handful as EA stopped supporting that website.

It would have all been peaceful, dying slowly but with some dignity as many of us had goodbye parties to the pc series, and had at least let it die with textures, toddlers, physical interactions, and sandbox and remaining in the life simulator realm. Those new players who are fanboys of MMOs would have never known who I am because I wouldn't have cared to lift one finger to visit their site nor post one word.

That is what would have happened.

I think it would be pretty awful, and I like sims 4, so thankfully didn't go through!

MDancer9112 · August 2015

I don't care weather they scrapped it or not, how could they, ever, HAVE POSSIABLY THOUGHT, that Olympus would be any good?
Its as dumb and annoying as this song:

I fear it would of gone the same way as Sim City with the possibility of an online subscription?

Sigzy05 · August 2015

I wouldn't have bought it.

OP, not sure, but I know that I would not have been a part of it.

XopaxPax · August 2015

I would be fine with it, as long as they released more content for TS3, i would probably have played Olympus, but without buying it.

Hephaestion · August 2015

plagues would be unleashed.... cows would eat each other.... and the seas would turn to blood...

edit: and these forums would be just about as echoing dead from that flop as the current ts4 flop.

GalacticGal · August 2015

I can tell you what would not have happened. I would not have purchased this game. The only reason I got interested was after it was announced it was not going to be an online game, but a single player game in the tradition of the series. So, (and this will no doubt please some) I wouldn't be here on these forums.

Scobre · August 2015

I would not buy the game. Putting online games in the main series is not good for Simmers like me who are deviant. Other Simmers wouldn't appreciate their yards being pranked by me with gnomes and flamingos taking over their yards. If they want to do a side game attempt of it, fine, but leave online out of the main PC games. Save that for mobile games.

Trashmagic · August 2015

Yeah I kinda wish it had been released and they started from scratch with Sims 4, we may have been waiting for a few more years but I would have been okay with that and I suppose the end result would have been that fleshed out sandbox game that caters to so many different playstyles.

mattytude · August 2015

I wish it had have been released. I'd definitely have bought it. But (depending on how they market it) would consider it a side-game or deviant of the series, like The Sims Medieval, etc. I would hope that they would have put enough work into it to create a way of playing like GTA; people who notioursly "mess bout" only get connected with players of a similar play style, and so those who wish to play by the rules are left in peace.

Then we could have had a proper continuation of the Sims franchise in The Sims 4, albeit further down the line. IT would have satisfied me, complimented by the Sims 3, until that time came.

Can somebody fill me in? What's the Olympus project?

eclipsetrixxz · August 2015

Trolls would've taken it over, and it would've ended terribly. and we would've lost our money, and it would've ended like simcity 5.....bad servers, and ea dumping it.

I think that was the code name for sims 4 online.

Time lost by Maxis trying to do The Sims 4 but always online and your sims, your lots, your savegames all stored at Maxis servers instead your pc

LoveMcQueen5683 · August 2015

Then they would have dedicated more time to the Sims 4.

Lustianicia · August 2015

We probably would've gotten a much better version of Sims 4 (an actual improvement from Sims 3) since Olympus would've been a spin off game... but EA decided they would make more money if they labelled it "Sims 4", this this sorry excuse for a Sims game was born!

icmnfrsh · August 2015

I wouldn't have bought it. Calling it The Sims 4 and making it offline made me buy it out of loyalty and faith that each Sims installment would turn out great. Never again, not without finding out if it's actually good first.

Longer on TS3 + Olympus and then a well-made TS4 >>>>>>>>>>> The current TS4

Thats what you say, there is no way of predicting things. Perhaps EA would close all of Maxis if Olympus happened.

The Sims Forums

What would have happened if Olmypus came out instead of TS4?
