Sims 4 Multiplayer or Online

[FireyLuna]

Sims 4 online or multiplayer should be an expansion pack where you can play with your friends live on the Sims 4. Basically, in a household, you can both go into create a sim and be able to create one household together. Also, you should be able to do the same but with building house. Both have access to the same lot on one world and be able to build together and play live together. Another option could be you can both play on the same exact world/game but build different houses and different households that can visit each other. I just think the game would be way more enjoyable if you could be able to play live with your friends. Thank you.

I love this idea. I believe being able to play online with your friends would make the game much more enjoyable. I have always wanted to play online with my friends but cannot, if it is possible to do this it would be great.

@Stacey389 @FireyLuna  EA made a Sims Online for PC, a game that was active between 2002 and 2008. It was shutdown, as the game failed to generate revenues and the number of players dropped yearly. Other attempts were made, but they tanked as well. 

The Sims Mobile (a mobile game, which requires a powerful smartphone or tablet - the list for the supported phones is available in The Sims boards) is the closest that you get to the now defunct Sims Online.

This idea is great! Even an option just to visit like on animal crossing would be awesome!

I think that a sims massively multiplayer online would be a great edition to the sims. I would love to play online with my friends and feel that this is what the sims need to make it perfect. I hope this can one day happen!

@melissamckee27 Oh god no! PLEASE NO!

The last thing we need is another mmorpg. I love my Sims just the way it is, blissfully single-player.

the original sims can stay the way it is but i just think an online version would be really fun too

@melissamckee27, I have to agree with @Psychotps  on this .  However, there was an online version of the Sims called Sims Online!   It was released in 2002 and ended in 2008.  While many others recently have expressed interest in playing an online version of The Sims, I don't know how likely it would be that EA would try this again since the Sims Online wasn't that successful.   But maybe they will surprise us!

@PugLove888 ☹️ i would make sure it would be successful

@melissamckee27, you can try your best to do that, but there is no actual way you can single handedly do that unless you know millions of people and can get them buy the game and then play it! 

And even if you could get that many people to buy and play it, you would still have to convince EA that it would be a good idea.
