Multiplayer SIMS 5 : yes or no?

Comments
I think I'd have to agree with StillJustMe, here.
I'd be open to multiplayer IF it was all optional and I still have my regular, not half-baked in an effort to make multiplayer great, sandbox single player was still the main play option.
And I'd only be interested in multiplayer to play with my kids, husband, or a couple other friends. I would not want to be in a multiplayer situation with strangers. That would make it a huge no for me.
I play the sims for the single player sandbox, still a rarity in games. If I want multiplayer, I'd go back to WoW.

Every time we talk about multiplayer Sims it is so many with different ideas of what type of multi-player game we would have. That's a problem because we have no idea of what sort of multiplayer game they would introduce to us.
I know I would not want a WOW because that's a fighting game and they always killed me in that game. lol
If they want fees then I feel they should drop the per.pack charges so all we should have would be like a 10.00 fee per month.
Most do not want to lose Sims games as they are and if I want to play Sims game as they are now I would always like the option to play multi-player or not play multi-player,
When I say multiplay I mean that we could open our game in option or with a download that would allow us to see sims as townies that are real people that we could talk to and interact with only as sims but they would be real people behind the sims like us. and If we did not wish to speak with them that would be ok as well. and go on playing the game until we find someone we would like to interact within our game.
So to me, that would be cool as an option.
But Most like Sims as a personal one vs computer game. kind of like Mario just you and the game.
Either way is cool, just if we get one I want it to be an optional download.
No one wants the game just to be thrown into a forced multiplayer game.
For those that wish a more mature game that would be a better way, as a multiplayer. Still, it should be an extra download not the game we play.
The people that I have talked with that did play Sims on Line, that was multiplayer, which anyone could join the game for a fee. I think it was a more mature game, and Everyone I spoke to loved the game and hate that it closed. Some thought it was a very addictive game. Like they would play it every day all day if they could.

Definetly YES! the reimplementation of The Sims Online (FreeSO) and the multiplayer mod for TS4 shows how much people wants it... So I'm supporting it and I think it will be added in TS5 as an optional feature.
> No. If The Sims 4 is as it is today, this was due to the fact that the game was originally developed to be an online game. Things went wrong, they gave up creating an online multiplayer game, and 2 years of development were lost, which explains why there are so many features in the base game.

> Honestly, I find it very risky to try to get back into this online game again. The bad consequences of what happened with The Sims 4 Olympus can be felt even today in the game, through various limitations.
Really? Is that why the gameplay seems to be lacking? Where did hear of the this development?
Like if mjy sim met another person's sim and they ended up in the same house, would I have to wait for the other person to come online to play the game? Or would they be able to play the game when I hadn't signed on for about a year, say and when I finally do go online to play my sim is long dead, like 4 generations ago. How is that a good idea? Or how does it work?
edit: okay I just realised I asked the same question long ago
I'm seeing a lot of the following: "I don't want any form of multiplayer because I don't like it or I don't want open world, therefore no one should have it".
I TOTALLY understand people not wanting open world. That would honestly be super weird, imo. Not to mention invasive. GTA anyone? :/
However, don't you think it'd be nice to have the [b]option[/b] to play with friends and family? Maybe something like Terraria multiplayer. Obviously, something optional that wouldn't affect those who only want to play single player. Even if it's just a LAN connection.
I remember playing The Sims 2 on Xbox with a friend and we had a blast. Yeah the controls weren't perfect but it was way more fun playing with her than when I'd play alone. Don't get me wrong, I started with The Sims when the first one came out, I love it.
Anyway, my roommate/best friend and I have played a bit of The Sims 4 "together".
[i](I make my sim, then slide the keyboard and mouse over and she makes hers. Then everything else is done by swapping out or one of us does most of the controls while the other one just inputs.)[/i]
It really is a hassle and very uncomfortable lol. It ended up with both of us getting bored sitting there watching the other play our Sim and having all of these creative ideas but not being able to execute them.
I'm just saying, please keep an open mind because I know a lot of people would enjoy playing the Sims with a friend or family member and there are ways to add multiplayer support without intruding on the single player experience.
(I am sorry if this is considered as spam. Just thought it might be relevant for this discussion.)
I would not like to see the Sims turn completely multiplayer like (Sims online), that would totally change our gameplay in a way that I feel most SIms would not enjoy. But if they wanted to add a Sims game that was multiplayer that could be accepted or we have a choice to multiplay in Sims 5 or not.
