    This is what everyone wanted! Another “as a service” game! Oh, and look, a store front!

    and partner with some “Sims” players to sell their own custom in-game content through the EA store as “Creator Kits.”

    Would those “players” be musicians? 100% someone is already trying to figure out how to “collab” with Katy Perry. Big IPs of other franchises (movies/games/anime)? Are they going to do limited timed events to really push the FOMO? Did they see Fortnite and thought “Lets do that!”.

      Sims multiplayer sounds like it could be fun, but it is highly dependant on how that is implemented. The other “features” just sound like shareholder porn.

            There wasn’t anything to do. The whole loop of the game was basically akin to making a carnival midway and trying to sucker other players into your home to have their sims pay your sims for crap they could have used in their own home. All so you can buy better attractions for more money.

            I imagine a new version would simply change the sims paying other sims to players paying EA directly.
