If the seasons system would come back in a free update and not in an expansion pack/game pack that would be a miracle sent from heaven. In my opinion- seasons is a thing that should be in the base game since it's such a basic, and a dominant thing in our real lives. I think most people would stop being unsatisfied with EA and that would be a huge incredible gift for all fans of this game around the world and that would totally make us respect EA more. But of course we can only dream about such thing happening. Everybody like their Mula
I really miss the rounded roofs for building and spiral staircases. I love building houses in Sims and really would like to see these come back also something to work with bay windows. Thanks.
I'd like for our sims to actually be able to be sick in the hospital with GTW and making the teeth in the Sims 4 more functionable, for example kids can lose their teeth and brushing teeth actually matters. For the kids there could be a tooth fairy or something! That would be adorable.
I would like to see the toddler life stage come back. It's my favorite one! The toddlers are adorable and I like having the parents teach them how to walk, talk, etc. I would also love to see pets come back! And maybe adventures or supernatural stuff? Sims 3 had some really awesome expansion packs. I would like to see those ideas come up again in Sims 4 gameplay.
More display shelves to place the collectibles would be nice since my basement has tables covered in collectibles that it looks like a museum down there instead of an art studio.
I'd love to have toddlers back as it feels like we have gone waaay back to The Sims where you went from baby to child.
I miss the Generations aspect of the sims as well.
I'd also love it if they could reintroduce - teens getting acne and having to apply cream like in S2 and carpools/ parents being able to drop their children to school with their car.
So here's my question to you all: what changes CAN be made to make TS4 a game you would like to play?
Oh I love these kinds of discussions. I just hope they really do LISTEN TO US. But anyways, here's the changes I would like to have to enjoy playing TS4:
Bring back the Color Wheel.
I can deal with not having the Open World. But please bring back the cars. And make wider neighborhoods.
Toddlers. Srsly why do you have to remove them?
Generations-like update. It should've been in the base game.
Options to adjust Sims' time ratio. The 1sec:1min ratio is too short to finish breakfast without getting late for school.
"Choose a pose" option when taking pictures together.
I'd like to see the apartments expansion offer multi zoning. Like so there could be a coffee shop and apartments. That would be neat!
So here's my question to you all: what changes CAN be made to make TS4 a game you would like to play?
(Try to keep your answers restricted to what you think is necessary for a "base game")

- A way to restrict ghosts in your world. (After a while of gameplay the world gets filled with ghosts and old people lol)
- Boarding School!
- Immediate option to change surnames in the household when Sims get married (As oppose to having to edit them in CAS)
- Be able to adjust the lifetime of your sims by days (Like in TS3. I find Normal too short and Long too long!)
.Octagonal roof to match diagonal walls I've build underneath.
.More family game play.
.Get rid of relationship culling/decay. Seriously, this issue hinders me to get back to my games.
.That T-word life stage and preteen.
.Seasons
.Pets
.No more random romantic relationships. I prefer to set them myself.
A diagonal wall should allow us to trim a floor tile diagonally.
Instead to accomplish this a room must be created.
This is problematic when trying to create sunken rooms with diagonal walls.
If we try and trim the excess on the outside we lose the whole floor tile,
If we try and complete the room to make it work we lose the sunken floor, and there is no way to lower that room back to groumd level indepndent of the rest of the house.

How about having your screenshots/pictures be household specific, as in Sims 1 and Sims 2? Right now everything is tossed into one bucket, making a dreadful mess. Allied with this is for longer captions. A line an a half just does not cut it when trying to tell a story. Since these were base game features in 1 & 2, I see no logical reason for them to still be missing at this late date.

Sims 4 been having LGBTQ features...lol

And as of City Living, Political Career! Hooray
This would be awesome for the City Living Expansion pack and also for a future University EP
