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.

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

“Mmmh, this sure beats pressing fast forward for 8 hours in single player”
Nah, they just see all the paid Sims 4 mods and want a cut for that.
