I feel like there's always a lot of talk about the big things people would like to see added to the game like cars, babies, expansions, etc so I wanted to make a thread dedicated to talking about all of small things people want to see added to the game.

It could be anything from a certain item of clothing/hair you'd like to see, a gameplay or build item you'd like to see added, an item from past games you'd like to see return, an improvement to an existing system in game (like more relationship options in CAS), etc etc.

So as the title says, what small things/changes would you like to see? :)

    For me I'd like to see:
    • More relationship options in CAS - boyfriend, girlfriend, regular friend, best friend, engaged, disliked, aunts and uncles, grandparents, grandchildren (you can't chose grandparent as an option at the moment you can only set grandparents by making a parent of a parent)
    • An elder style category in CAS - just shows the clothing items more suited for elders (no more scrolling through 50 crop tops to find a blouse)
    • Some more clothes for elders
    • Functional elevators - we already have elevators, why not make them actually function on regular lots
    • Photo booths
    • Bikes for kids not just adults
    • All in one bathrooms
    • Body hair
    • Slides for kids not just toddlers
    • More standard t shirts, there's surprisingly few. For male sims there's only two options without patterns or v necks and females only have one.... Even those ones aren't great. (see spoiler)

    For example I have this CC tshirt, it's just the Moschino one recolored without the print and it's exactly what I want to see in game :)

    A possibility to not change hair color when randomizing hairstyle.
  • LoanetLoanet Posts: 4,079 Member
    We got more skin colours. How about a few more hair colours?
    Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.

    • Functional dormer windows like we had in TS2.
    • Harvestable plants to have accurate meshes instead of the current bushes.
    • More showy jewellery, big rings, bangles, earrings and necklaces.

    • picnic basket and bear rug (ts1)
    its basically same thing but with slight difference

    i think picnic sims eat sandwiches and bear rug they get like fancy drinks

    but basically sims lay down on the rug thing of choice and they can reach for snacks which they can eat and sims can talk to each other or just relax or do few of those bed type romance interactions like makeout and such

    id like those back in both aesthetics

    (and maybe yeah i could like non romantic group picnic option as well where sims just sit,talk and eat but...)
    • couple dancing in many styles
    ok sorry if thats too big but i need to mention it cause big need
    • relaxing in beds
    as in sims being able to lay down in their bed to read or just chill doing nothing in specific
    the animation even exists and sims do it split second sometimes when getting in and out of bed but player can't direct them to and it annoys me
    •sitting on floors
    again animations exist but we can't direct sims to sit on floor for some annoying reason
    •disable incoming calls (phone)
    I don't want to go off grid, i don't want my sims not being able to call for things and i don't want game to nerf invites etc completely I just want this one option per phone where i dont get random phone pop up things all the time when im trying to ignore other things than my household existing
    • some beautiful big arched windows
    • big mansion doors
    can't just keep stealing vlads door but thats about good size
    • doors/archways with carved details or other decorative thingies
    • fireplaces.
    and especially ones that have space for tv or painting above and are bit wider and older
    • themey wallpapers that make cool paintings and such
    we had some in sims medieval and in ts3 at least and i loved those
    •speaking of which wallpaper doors that match those wallpapers
    •fancy pocket doors
    •anything old mansion like tbh
    this list is getting long
    •trash compactor
    •small telescope
    •upright piano
    •functional tea sets
    • invisible wedding arch so i could just have markers and not have to always use same few arches but also
    • more wedding arches

    some little things i enjoyed from other games:
    • couples snuggling in bed
    • sims looking out the windows
    • changing tables for diapers, diapers creating trash without a bin in the room
    • lounging on couches (seriously who sits up right like that watching tv?)
    • body hair for all sims

    things not done before:
    • facial hair open to female framed sims
    • the ability to draw on sims in a new tattoo career
    • the ability to save our own custom styled outfits and be able to upload these to the gallery to share our styled looks

    I want to see porch swings,
    more ways of dancing,
    more tattoos,
    more instruments (cello, drums, banjo, trumpet, etc.),
    wall paper for ceilings,
    baggy clothes,
    pottery stations,
    another open world or two,
    maybe an expansion pack dealing with Native American culture,
    a farming pack,
    karate/kung fu,
    more aspirations and traits,
    and an option to stop the whole voting thing in the Echo Lifestyle pack because that gets really annoying but I do not want to uninstall the pack.

    Curved and spiral staircases. I love mansions that have those grand entrances with curved staircases.
  • fruitsbasket101fruitsbasket101 Posts: 1,530 Member
    • Pants that go past the ankles! Please! No one wears their pants like that in real life that I know of.
    • More sundresses and overalls(both long and short), plaits, pigtails, hair clips. I feel like if they were going to go for nineties throwback clothes in kits, they should've focused on more everyday outfits than active wear.
    • More facial hair options.
    • Body hair
    • Long hair for men that's a little more masculine looking. I know you can just use the hair meant for female sims but sometimes the style is a little too feminine for a particular sim and doesn't look right. Which bothers me cause I love long hair on guys.
    Have a super fantastic awesome splendid amazing day! -TheQxxn

    Some of these could be small or big depending..

    Homeschooling option for kids and teens (will really help for themed saves, challenges ect... or even because we do it now!)

    Couple dancing (slow) I want more but need this at least.

    Bed cuddles

    Relaxing in bed

    More light facial wrinkles like we just got

    More nightgown options old lady, nighties, and teddies, some more sexy lingerie also

    More suit options for men (not ending at the ankles)

    Woohoo/relationship with the grim reaper made possible in game without a mod

    More facial hair options for men

    Small telescope and microscope

    Ability to copy alien look on both .. same with a human look on both. (I want to tweak it... not for them to look completely different)

    Some more normal children's play ground objects like merry-go-round and see-saw, more children's interactive play options

    Child play oven

    Very old fashioned radios, table phones (from 1930's)

    More small pet types (I fully expect a farm pack too.. but that's not what I mean here)

    How small are dragons?

    What about adjustable hair dye? Like we have hair styles with dye in them, but you can't choose the type of dye you want with the hair color. So you'll get ugly color choices forced upon you if you use a certain hair color.

    -Window Seats (Preferably a couple different kinds? Like maybe one to fit bay windows, and one to fit more normal windows?)
    -More styles of closets (Maybe some smaller ones? Like 1x2 instead of 2x2?)
    -Terrain Paint that matches the original grass or sand
    -Some smaller rug options (Some rugs are huge, and some are small for what I wanted to use them for, and since I can't size up or down, since I'm on console...I'm stuck using some other rugs I don't like the look of)
    -A non-scuffed version or swatch of the 'Enigma Dresser' would also be nice (I like the look, but I don't like the scratches on there for some builds I attempt to make.)

    Not sure how small this is, maybe simple, maybe not. I'd love to see either a rework of the whole sexual preferences system (probably not simple) or a toggle to lock the preferences of individual sims (potentially simple). I'm aware that there's at least one mod that addresses the latter, although I haven't had a chance to check it out yet (and I'm not yet sure if it will play nice with my other mods). But not everyone has the option to use mods, and not everyone who can use them wishes to do so.

    A number of the sims I create are intended to be bisexual, but because of the way the game works, most eventually end up being either straight or gay. Maintaining their intended behavior takes waaay too much micromanagement even with the use of MCCC to manually reset their preferences when in-game interactions cause things to get too far out of balance. I do deliberately continue to do this massive micromanagement to maintain a certain few as bisexual because it has significant impact on their particular social structures and storylines. The ones I give up on, I have to just pretend those eventually chose a preferred partner, not necessarily a preferred gender. I wish I didn't have to play the "Either/Or" scenario all the time, that's all.
    FYI: Just because you can see my signature, don't assume that I can see yours.
    Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off. ;)

    Bug Fixes.

    Every bug they fix is a small change that improves the game by a lot. I wish they would finally make this a priority.
  • SimmerJillerskiSimmerJillerski Posts: 56 Member
    -different colored UI (or at least an option for light or dark ui)
    -the option to toggle worlds you're not currently using so they don't appear on the world screen
    -removal of current texture quality cap implemented in the game recently to nerf object texturing which causes blurriness in game even on Ultra settings. I had to manually edit this in the game files. I don't know why this was done, possibly to ease game performance?)

    Yes this one I agree with so much. I was so annoyed about it. I don't see why we all should be forced into a graphics downgrade because some people play the game on devices that are not optimal for the game. I paid a lot of money for the computer that I have so that I can enjoy the game as good as it can be and I don't like being forcibly downgraded when my PC is able to run the game perfectly as it was.

    Now I know I would be sad if I couldn't play the game well so I'm in no way saying that they shouldn't fix the game for people with less good computers or whatever devices they choose play the game on. What I am saying is that they need to find a way that works for everybody because forcing people that don't need it into a downgrade on graphics quality is not the way to go.

    • The option to save custom outfits and lock makeup in CAS
    • Select favorites (favorite dish, color, etc) in CAS
    This is something I've been thinking for a long time. It's annoying to scroll through a long list of clothing items to find a certain piece of clothing that I use often. I wish we could do something to mark favorites, or put them at the top of the list, or something to make them easier to find.

    It would also be nice if we could use the same makeup (or even same clothes) on a sim, for their other outfits, so we don't have to keep doing makeup on each outfit.
