Is It possible to play in Multiplayer mode into The Sims 4?

[daviduzzo]

Hello guys, a question: Is It possible to play in Multiplayer mode into The Sims 4 connecting the EA accouts with friends? Thank you

Not out of the box. There is a mod somewhere, but as far as I am aware, it's not very stable and can be rather buggy.

Sims 5 is what you want. It's not here yet, but it's suppose to add co-op and a mobile aspect to go along with the typical single player sim's style game., I think it's 2 years off but there are some offical posts about the whole thing somewhere, I think i read about it on PC gamer, or perhaps PCgamesn, try doing a search if you want more info.

There's a mod exist that you can play multiplayer with others.
I dont really know the mod's name, maybe google can help
Kevin "Jim Pickens" had tried one.

IMO, I'm a bit pessimistic about Sims 5, since Sims 4 has very lacks of content compared with Sims 3.

I guess in Sims 5 there will be some missing parts that previously exists on Sims 4.

While not confirmed, EA most likely had been working on Project Rene since 2021 (but unclear as to when from that year) or early 2022. They obviously did get at least some work done by the time they had officially announced Project Rene and especially from a leak that showed up not long after the announcement of Project Rene. Depending on when EA actually first started working on Project Rene it is most likely not going to come out until 2025 at the very earliest, but at the very latest hopefully not later than early or mid 2027.

Regardless of whether Project Rene is coming out 2025 or 2027 that is still years away from now. I also have some doubts that Project Rene is going to be co-op instead of multiplayer which they are not exactly the same thing. While The Sims 4 does have a mod for multiplayer, I am actually not really all that interested in multiplayer mode to be honest where I prefer to watch multiplayer on The Sims 4 youtube videos as opposed to actually playing it.

leave the speculation for TS5 and multiplayer and answer the question.

Officially there is no multiplayer for TS4. there are coop mods that exist that you can download.

[Xeriath]

https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/sims-4-multiplayer-mod don’t know if it works for the actual patch.

[Xautos]

didn't mean to be snappy about it earlier (sorry about that), just dealing with a cold virus the last few days and my mood is variable based on that. Felt throughly awful the first day and day 3 (yesterday), got a bit of a headache but feels like things are a bit clearer today, not sure how the rest of the day is gonna go.

anyway. looking forward to seeing the back of that and return to some kind of normality.

I did briefly mention The Sims 4 multiplayer (which is actually not co-op as mentioned earlier from Xeriath),but realistically how many people actually use it besides anyone watching what is shown on YouTube? Also, as Lady Aeleanor mentioned earlier this mod is "not very stable and can be rather buggy". I can only hope when the The Sims 5 comes out that multiplayer will be more stable and less buggy than this mod on The Sims 4, but if this mod was challenging to make even for just regular people who most likely do not work for EA then I would not be surprised actually if multiplayer mode on The Sims 5 will have similar problems. The only difference is that due to the fact that multiplayer would be available as a basegame option instead of requiring a mod, expect a lot more people to be using multiplayer on The Sims 5 than The Sims 4.

[Xeriath]

Really, he just asked for a mod which provide some sort of multiplayer, and this is the only mod for it. He never asked about option from people.

My stance on multiplayer is the same as the most older sims player. Please no, don’t ruin it with multiplayer. We want a good single player, EA always release a crap if they combo both, I don’t have much hope for sims 5 and multiplayer. I am sure the single player will suffer, and this a lot.

@Xautos I wish you a good recovery, it’s always awful to get sick.

You actually have good point across and I am skeptical of The Sims 5 being any good even with the multiplayer option being available for basegame and overall more people having an awareness of multiplayer on The Sims 5 than The Sims 4 multiplayer mod. People asking about multiplayer from The Sims 4 is commonly asked question on Steam. Maybe multiplayer is fun from The SIms 4 (despite not being very stable and the bugs) , but I also do not know how many people use this mod or how how often it is used.

My last stand is only this here: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/1007764/ea-q3-2023-earnings-call-concerning-sims-5-project-rene-news which I think is concerning.

I like multiplayer for games as diablo or divinity but a life simulator? It’s just not my kind of game style. I play sims 4 to create my own world and story. Maybe life by you or Paralives will get me as customer, if sims5 goes really this way.

many good ol' games had been ruined by multiplayer feature by their newest series in same franchise. (Also ruined by microtransaction thingy)

But in case of mods, its up to player.
