More games for kids and teens. (Pic heavy)

Since it's now possible for certain activities to be edited into the world, it would be nice to see spontaneous games pop up that our Sim kids can join in (as well as objects that we, the players, can add onto specific lots). It would help the worlds to feel more alive and allow the kids of the game to seem more like kids.

I would love to see more street games. The center plazas in San Myshuno would be ideal for stuff like this. However, these games would be fun anywhere:

- Jump rope for individuals and groups, including double dutch contests.

- Skelly

- Marbles

- Jacks

- Hopscotch

There are also games that wouldn't require large objects:

- Tag

- Miss Mary Mack (This would be awesome in three- and four-way versions. <3 )

- Cat's Cradle string games

- Simon says

- Slap fights, pillow fights, and tickle fights (I would much prefer those for Brawl Day. They're much more playful. :) )

It would be cool to have party games -- for kids of all ages :):smile:

- Pinata

- Pin the tail on the Donkey

Finally, here are a couple of really ambitious things that I'm not sure could ever be made, but I couldn't leave them out:

- Duck, duck, goose!

- Musical chairs

- Red light, green light

I love generational play. I would be tickled if the kids/teens had more fun, active things to do besides hang out on the monkey bars and the huge playground objects. I hope that EA will consider some of this.

    Yes, I agree. I would love jump rope, tag and pillow fights!

    Pin the tail on the llama would be appropriate.

    Didn't sims 2 have a skipping rope, mary mack hopscotch, and pillow fights? They all need to return.

    They could also make paper planes out of newspapers... we'd have to have newspapers return too. Or at least junk mail delivered to the letterbox.

    I still don’t understand why they haven’t brought Tag back!

    Especially, in a world like Willow Creek where there’s so much open space I could definitely see child sims having fun playing a game of tag!

    Also Pin the tail on the donkey and a Piñata would be great additions to a party pack!

    This idea is fun I remember doing these things in mostly Elementary and middle school.

    I'd really love to see some of those. Kids need more occasions to be kids without necessarily using large objects.

    I know, right?

    That's probably why kids in TS4 don't feel realistic to me. Kids run, kids jump, kids bounce, and jig around. Kids in TS4 don't do that and, to my knowledge, they have no interactions that encourage it. In my TS3 game, kids were always biking, running, playing in the pool, and doing all kinds of outdoor things. I miss that feeling.

    Apparently they think all modern kids are permanently attached to their electronic devices. :/

    I want to see family volley ball return as well.... and I sure miss children being able to play tag and such.
  • ChadSims2ChadSims2 Posts: 5,090 Member
    Excluding musical chairs which was a base game feature sadly I would love to see a lot of things from this list I need games for the kids which are not locked to a object and can be done anywhere.
    Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"
  • MollyDTheSimsMollyDTheSims Posts: 21 Member
    I think these are all great ideas and would really add to the kids life-stage!
  • Briana2425Briana2425 Posts: 3,591 Member
    I also miss Sims 2 miss Mary Mack and Sims 3 had tag like bring those back into the game Sims are suppose to be social but they really not social at all until you make them. Especially with family members it's like I do a family reunion when relatives don't know each other and second cousins don't recognize each other it's like...really?

    It's really sad isn't it?

    Hopefully, future packs will change this. Especially now that there's Seasons, warm, sunny days should bring the kids out onto the front lawns and to the park spaces. It would really make a difference if the children had more kid things to do, other than sit on the monkey bars or on the large playground structures.

    These all sounds really fun, though I'm afraid what tag would look like after seeing how strange water balloon fights turned out to be. :D Hopefully by then it'll all be fixed.
