We can semi-sort of do that. I often join casting calls where I create and submit Sims for other Simmers, whereafter they're placed in their game and featured in a story/challenge. I can't exactly control them, but it's nice to see what others do with my Sims. Sometimes they'll even ask for my input.

Me too! Like a community map. With stores, gardens, pubs, and more. Weekly events. One could host events. Good idea!
They are talking about doing an online version of the game as Sims5 or another name, but that could still be a few years away.

Ohmygod yes. I've wished for that to happen during all the sims games i've played. My siblings who are much younger than me just started playing sims, and my little sister was so sad because she had really hoped her sim could come visit mine ( since I don't live with my parents anymore, she wants to join me in every game she can).
Please make joining others game a thing. That would be so cool !!

That is an online game, which has already been shown to be unworkable in Sims format. Sims is for us to make and play our own households as we wish. The very idea that some unknown personage from no telling where with quite possibly malevolent intent could bust into my game and wreck havoc (not to mention introduce viruses and such) is utterly repugnant. There are at least 2 Sims-like games out there already, so try those if you like dangerous gaming.
No. I'm sorry. But I don't want to see you in my game 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
A long time ago ive tried second life. Man, does this multiplayer experience has nothing to do with the sims! And, as already said, forget about rating it T cause multiplayer will make this game adult for sure. My girl plays the sims and im totally ok with that, but i wouldn't allow her to play if it was multiplayer. No way!
This thread makes me will for a couple (or more) years of content for sims 4. Even knowing that there's a lot to do in what concerns to personality and relationships in sims 4, i prefer to get more content for it and when it eventually changes to be this up to date multiplayer whatever game, i mod my game and enjoy my sims as ive always done.
I would never allow somebody else to play in MY town or with MY Sims! I couldn´t even imagine how awkward it would be for me if somebody changes even the slightes bit of anything I´ve build in MY game!
You would never know with whom you play and what this person has in mind with the Sims. We can play nearly every scenario we want in our games and having somebody in my game who has a different idea of what the Sims should do.... Nope!
And if you search for people who hide behind an avatar and "play with life", well, then play Second Life or it´s equally unsuccessfully successor Sansar. Play this games and you´ll see what The Sims will become if they were online. But prepare for the scum who runs havoc in this games!
If Sims 5 will be online I would even happily play The Sims 4 if I can´t play The Sims 3 anymore when it is unplayable on new computers.

The actual game of the Sims should remain single player (in my opinion). If they want to try an online game for the third or fourth time just don't let it be the actual game, let it be a spin off.
Half life 3 CONFIRMED!
ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!
Cue X-Files theme
Jokes aside. I don’t want nobody touching my Sims save file and manipulating the stories I am creating unless I provide them the save file.
Nope. Not going to happen. Never. No thank you. You can go back to your IMVU/Second Life/VR Chat...
Plus:
ROFL.
As far as Maxis buidling yet again another multiplayer, ok, go ahead do that for console players, but don't expect pc players to buy it.
Or not to trash it.
As far as the header question: Hello, you have had your online multi games,co- op versions for 2 and 3, and TSO, and Sims Social, and SC2013, and SCMoblie, and Free Play and TSM4. It's not like you (OP) haven't had a go at it. Don't expect die hard pc players who understand the formula of The Sims to go along with yet again a different version with multiplayer options yet again. No thank you.
Main series? As long as there's a single player mode and there's NOTHING that has to be unlocked by playing the multiplayer side, then sure. But if I have to play the multiplayer to unlock things or download a mod to do it for me, then no.
Plus how would you handle the situation where Simmer A and Simmer B have their Sims get together, buy a house together, and have a single kid. Simmer A and Simmer B then have a falling out and no longer want to play together. Who gets the kid? Who gets the house? How do the funds get split?
How would you handle situations where one player suddenly stops coming on but their Sims are married to Sims of other players? How long do they have to be in limbo before they can petition to have their Sims divorced and get control of kids?
How would you feel if the above happened to you because you got into a bad car wreck and obviously couldn't warn about that and then when you return at least a few months later you've lost your Sims' spouses, kids, houses and basically have to start over?
Unless you honestly thought otherwise.
edit;
To the rest of the replies, I can't quite grasp how you're entirely opposed to multiplayer, something to potentially add more hours to the game to those of us with friends, yet you're fine with watered-down packs and partially-working if not broken basic features.
And yet some of us don't want multiplayer and aren't fine with the quality of the EP's and SP's coming out. I've only ever bought one pack when it wasn't on sale (vampires and that was because that pack was done well and for how well toddlers were since they came out at about the same time) and they have to be at least 50% off because that's what I feel they are worth. I don't have all of the packs either and have chosen to not buy any until I decide I want to play again and then only if they're on sale for 50% or more. Though My Pet Stuff would have to be like 75% or more off for me to even consider it since it's got a lot of recolors.
Just because I don't want it doesn't mean I would be unhappy if they added it for Sims 5 provided they did it and single player well and didn't lock anything for single player play behind that mode.
Adding multiplayer or keeping it single player (as it should be) doesn’t necessarily define “added hours of gameplay”. In defense of The Sims 3, The Sims 2, The Sims 1, The Elder Scrolls series, The Witcher and many more successful single-player games out there.
