Sims 1 ideas that haven't made it into Sims 4:

Skateboarding/snowboarding half-pipe
Snow fort/snowball fight
Beach/lawn volleyball
Lifeguard chair (seriously, where are the lifeguards at the pool)
Whack a mole/ticket rewards for carnival games
Souvenir shelf/display cabinet
Black rose bouquet
Spinning wheel
Nectar making
Canning (though there is a Sims 4 mod for this)
Superstar/Fame activities: catwalk/posing/modelling, acting/fencing
Fame trophies
Taxis/trolleys/Limos (at least they would stop for your Sim)
Build your own roller coaster (Makin Magic)
Mini Golf
Checkers game
Rent remote control boats (maybe add remote control vehicles too and even drones or remote control mini planes)
Magic wands/spellbooks
Magic duelling
Recipe books
Set of encyclopedia books (even if only for decoration)
Landline phones: both the type that sit on a surface and wall-mounted (even if just for decoration)
Trash compactor (preferably fits under counter)

Sims 1 PG MODS that haven't been implemented in most Sims games yet:
Miniature cities the size of Sim dollhouses
Hand dryer machine
Water cooler
Monopoly game (licensing probably required)
Superhero costumes (may require licensing)
Ridable motorbikes that would work only on one lot (tends to drive around in a random pattern) - this would be ideal for trikes actually.
Kiddie pool (toddler sized) - this was decor only for Sims 1.
Wide variety of plants: different colors of rose bushes, many different species of decorative outdoor plants.

This is a BACKYARD HOBBIES thread, not an everything I want in the game thread. Please don't clutter it with ideas that don't apply to backyard stuff. If we want the devs to take note of our ideas, they should be focused, not a list of stuff from other games entirely.

I really like you ideas there great I want all of them but I don't think they all fit in to backyard hobbies play house would work
as well as soccer and kiddie pool work for the lettle ones @SimsILikeSims

I definitely want more backyard hobbies. Things my sims can do together without having to watch TV, movies, or play video games. Playing catch would be nice, as well as a lawn sprinkler. I would love a normal telescope as well. And I really like the idea of kids flying kites. That would be adorable.

they already have an npc flying a kite in cats and dogs

Some of the stuff mentioned here could and should be added to a Seasons EP. The Seasons EP is usually the one that is filled with all kinds of outdoor activities for every time of year. I wouldn't be thrilled about having to buy them in a separate pack. Then, what would they add to Seasons?

Kalino

My ideas:

- ping-pong
- volleyball
- football
- playing in the sand
- Skateboarding
- Skating
- riding Bicycle

But it's not an actual object sims can use, is it? I didn't even know this was a thing.

I've always liked the idea of skateboarding, but it's never been implemented. Still hoping. Love all these ideas.

no sims can't use it but the animation is already there so I think adding a kite would be easy

When I think of backyard hobbies I think of gardening... so some new gardening gameplay would be a lot of fun like creating greenhouses and conservatories. And then taking harvestables and using them at a canning station to make homemade jams, and collecting nectar at the nectary by purchasing something similar to the L'amour des Fruits Nectar Maker our sims had to purchase in order to make nectar at home.

but they don't add as many activities in eps as they use to so if we want these things they will have to be spread out @Cynna

Yes, I know. It's inevitable. The Sims Series is going to go down the same path as all the rest of the series that EA has nickel and dimed to death. Eventually, they're going to remove so much that the audience will rebel en masse. Though, by then, it will be too late. Like so many other wonderful series before it, the suits at EA will throw up their hands, insist that there is no longer an audience, and they will shut it all down.

Sure enough, everything does end. I just don't want to see the series killed out of pure greed and poor decisions.

By the way, thank you for the invitation to speak further. That was very kind of you. I extend the same offer as well.
