    Sims multiplayer sounds like it could be fun

    Me, who remembers The Sims Online: 🤣

      Making pizzas in slave-like conditions

      Hell, I still have the CD installer. And I think the soundtrack CD.

      I did enjoy the puzzle houses people would make though.

      Oh no, I never got to play online. Why wasn’t it fun?

        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.
