Sounds good! I'd like that. But will they implement it? And will they implement it properly? It would be nice if in story mode, people can create stories too that can be uploaded to the gallery for other people to play.
I'd want it to be a separate version... I don't want any interference in my sandbox play. Let others be led around by the nose if they want. I want to make my OWN stories.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~

This. Just make the story mode a spin off like they did with ts2 stories. The sims team doesn't have a good track record with trying to implement two ideas at once and one or both of the modes would suffer because of it.

I feel like if they did that, split it up, you would for sure be losing a lot on the "sandbox side" because there is no way that EA would give them double budget to basically make 2 types of games.
We can't even get the amount of interactive objects in TS4 packs like we used to in other games, and when we ask for something the answer is always "it costs too much", so yeah, I don't see them ever doing that.
It is upsetting that they are moving away from the original idea of the sims and chasing trends in the hopes of grabbing "a new player base" and if that happens and those people do actually stick around to support them for years and years of the constant inconsistency in what type of game it wants to be, then they were right in doing so.
But, by them doing that, they will also lose a lot of long time fans. Maybe not lose them completely, because people will go back to the tried and true versions, or stick with TS4 and not move on to TS5.
I just feel disappointed and pretty much hopeless. I think that no matter what we say or voice our wants or rant about what we want brought back or don't want to happen .....it's NOT going to change the direction the game is heading in and what the new version will probably be like (if not worse).
Luckily right now, we still have the other versions that we can go back to for as long as they will play.
I know it because of TS4. Look at EAxis decissions concerning The Sims. Just think about it. They went ahead with a mmorpg though their core fanbase had told them for years, never again. They then scrapped it and try to salvage it when they saw the response to SC2013. Instead of delaying TS4 for a proper base release they went ahead and tried to squeeze four years of work (for single player/sandbox) into one year and a half. Those type decissions tell me someone like Paralives just might be better than a TS5 if EAxis was that silly.

And this one is, pretty much.

You know this how?
For example, you can play Goth scenario in Story mode, retelling the story of bella dissapearance since the beginning.
