Sims 5: What sort of multiplayer game play would you most like

There have been rumors for a while that the Sims 5 will have a multiplayer element. I was wondering if people have preferences for what that would look like. It could be fully multiplayer, where you log in and other people can immediately interact with you.
Another possibility is there might be an offline aspect and a multiplayer aspect. For example, they could have a multi-world system sort of like Sims 4, and most of the worlds are just for the individual player, but there is one multiplayer world that you can chose to visit to interact with other players.

-No, my almost-elderly mother, I don't think it's a good time for you to try for a baby.
-Yes, person I barely know, you have my blessing to hang out with Johnny Zest.
-No person with the mean, hot-headed and self-absorbed traits, I don't think you should get married.

Fully multiplayer, but limited to people in a group that you have to mutually approve.

If there's so much as a hint of multiplayer, I'm running in the other direction!

Also in general I prefer games that can be played offline and solo. I like connecting with friends in some games but can't get into games that are exclusively multi-player.
My guess is if they were to go down this route, perhaps only certain lots would be multi-player and most probably we won't be able to edit the lot, etc.
I personally don't mind a bit of multi-player and I would want an offline version too.

However, a way for mods to automatically update is needed badly. Much like the Steam Workshop, it would make adding, managing, and updating mods so much easier. It is very annoying having to delete old mods, download them again, and then reinstall them every time a patch drops.

but I just can't picture myself enjoying multiplayer for more than like day or two really
like real life socializing is draining enough i don't want to also socialize with real people in game that is supposed to be my escape from humanity
maybe itd be bearable if it was just specific world and some chat thing i could completely avoid but also that kinda gives me habbo hotel flashbacks

The main problem would be CC... obviously, not everyone is going to have the same CC, and with the fact CC is one of the things that is currently keeping TS4 alive, I worry about the TS5 not having that same community of CC creators etc, if the game isn't as compatible with it's usage.

I'm wary of any multiplayer aspect of the game.
EA has shown in the past that they will tie rewards to the multiplayer aspect of the Sims games. Just look at Simport from Sims 3. You send your Sims to other players games to perform (rabbit hole, you don't even get to follow) and you can unlock things in the main game.
The only multiplayer I support is the kind that is completely separate from the single player experience and nothing is locked behind doing the multiplayer. And I do mean nothing.
Whether or not it is enough to turn me off of the game would be depending on what and how much is locked behind multiplayer.
Made some good friends, some of which I kept in touch with for years after. It was crazy at times, but I wouldn't have missed it for the world. I also joined when they started up EALand some time later. It wasn't the same, everyone I knew in TSO had moved on. That project flopped also.
With the multiplayer part of TS5 being an invite-only thing, I really don't know how to feel about it. None of my friends or family play (some played before, but most of the people I know never played Sims at all), and I'm not comfortable having strangers join me, I feel awkward. I'm a lot more "anti-social" now than I was in my TSO days, and EA won't be able to bring those days back. I'll be treating TS5 as I've done all the others, as a single-player.

Pretty much that.

Two separate versions because the current world configuration cannot accommodate an MMO player base.
Also I’d rather play with like minded souls instead of dealing with salt day in and out…well that in itself can be entertaining.
