Listen to our One More Life gaming podcast now!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\nPearson\u2019s life with gaming has taken her on the kind of journey that most fans can only dream of \u2014 she started out as an avid player of The Sims, and now she\u2019s become one of its main creative talents behind the scenes.<\/p>\n
In this chat, Pearson discusses all the unusual things that people do with their Sims, and she shares her own memories of growing up as a gamer with a very cool grandma.<\/p>\n
For fans, though, her generous insights about The Sims 5 are sure to be the headline attraction here.<\/p>
\u201cWe definitely want to introduce multiplayer,\u201d Pearson said on the podcast. \u201cAnd not multiplayer in the big, scary \u2018jump in a world full of strangers\u2019 kind of way. But literally, how do you and your friends want to do some play together?<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd there\u2019s a lot of different flavours that could take, so we\u2019re exploring a lot of different spaces there.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause playing together can look like so many different things, right? Even our chat now, we\u2019ve talked about, like, trivia games to fighting games to racing games, playing together and social can mean so many things.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd so we\u2019re having a lot of fun exploring all those different opportunities, particularly within the context of The Sims, because it is still about these little characters, their little lives, and you helping guide them.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, what does that mean if you and I do that together? And how do we figure out how to make a little bit of that chaos, a little bit of that fun and a little bit of that positivity all come together in a way that feels Sims-y?\u201d<\/p>
