![]() Discover beautiful locations with distinctive environments, and go on spontaneous adventures. Travel to different neighborhoods where you can meet other Sims and learn about their lives. Design and build incredible homes for every family, then decorate with your favorite furnishings and decor. Explore and customize every detail, from Sims to homes and much more. I actually do think there’s a way to make “games as a service” and make a significantly larger profit without being exploitative, but to be honest I haven’t seen that done yet.Unleash your imagination and create a world of Sims that’s wholly unique. I don’t like it, but I understand why it’s happening. That prospect is extremely attractive to business-minded people. The Sims is unique in that it’s inherently replayable and already has a fairly large streaming community, but there’s a level of broader viral content and mainstream streamers that can seemingly only be accessed through multiplayer online games. There’s also a component of marketability/streaming at play too. The difference in profitability between the 2 options is too great for them to ignore. It sucks, but that’s the capitalistic world we currently live in. And at the end of the day, that’s what these game companies are: companies. In the gaming world, “games as a service” is just way more profitable for companies than single player offline games. And not just games! Everything is trying to be a subscription service these days. This is the direction so many games are going in. But a subscription service/cash shop wouldn’t surprise me at all. Leave me and my little pixels alone in peace Just yes.)įifth, if I wanted to interact with actual people I would go outside and see the people. I don’t want to lose my save if my friend stops playing, but also don’t trust those little shits not to burn my sims to the ground (on purpose? By accident? Yes. Third, how many people still use the port feature of the sims 3 showtime? I can’t even remember my password, so it’s now a defunct feature that just sits there, mocking me.įourth, little combination of 2 and 3, are save files going to be usable without the friends you make them with? Because honestly hard pass if they are and hard pass if they aren’t. Imagine you’re trying to play with your friend but they keep disappearing because their wifi sucks, if you don’t get booted out completely. As someone with spotty wifi… no thank you. Second, you’re gameplay will only be as strong as the wifi signal of whom ever has the weakest wifi. Instead of the fun social game everyone thought it’d be, it was just a bunch of people playing sims normally but “now with other people!” I honestly couldn’t be less interested in something then an online sims gameįirst, they’ve done online before. In any case, one thing EA should do is really work on their customer service to have it be actually helpful, before they venture into online playing, which on PC is going to be… interesting Nevertheless, if EA decides to make playing online the main point of 5, I don’t see it going too well…many of us really don’t have that many friends that share our interest in Sims and connecting with people from all over the world would surely come with its problems regarding internet speed and weird glitches/crashes from heavy modders who would just go online for the chaos, like any online community faces nowadays. I know I always wished I could play with my partner not just to play the game side by side, but actually do some stuff together, meet up on some lots or things like that. I feel like that way, no one would be coerced into buying more stuff or have problems with conflicting mods/cc not showing up properly or crashing the game.Īll in all, I don’t think it’s a bad idea for people who really want to share The Sims with their real life friends. It’s still a big number, but small enough to not make the world crowded - and easier to know who was responsible in case something bad happens to your game. The world wouldn’t be editable by individual players, it should come with the base game and allow a maximum of maybe 8 online players at a time. Outside of it, the game works perfectly fine offline, but if you really wanted to, you could go there to meet some real life friends in The Sims. Like having a small world where you can attend events like concerts or some special parties and that world should solely be used as an online feature. I think it could work if it would be an just an option.
