The Sims 5 Devs Respond to Fan Demands with Multiplayer Expansion

Lyndsay Pearson, one of the main creative talents behind The Sims, discussed the upcoming release of The Sims 5 on a gaming podcast. Pearson confirmed that multiplayer will be introduced in The Sims 5, emphasizing that it won't be the traditional "jump in a world full of strangers" type of multiplayer. Instead, the focus will be on exploring different ways for friends to play together and create chaos, fun, and positivity within the Sims universe. Pearson mentioned drawing inspiration from games like Animal Crossing and Among Us, and expressed interest in finding a Sims-y version of a horror game where players can either mess up or help each other's Sims.
