There was a thread a while back where the OP asked for 3 big things that you would still want to see in The sims 4 that would make the game great or even somewhat complete.
There were many comments (incl. me) about L shaped stairs, uni, cars, swimming in the ocean/beaches, farming pack etc. Now that we got or probably will get most of these, what is left? What are the next 5 big things that are a MUST would make the game complete for you?
For me:
- Cars or let's say VEHICLES!
- A farming pack
- Owning multiple poperties, holiday homes
- Staying in hotels and owning/running them
- Multifunctional lots, so we can run a restaurant and hotel at the same time or visit a retail shop with a coffee place side of it.

draggable bassinets
Royal EP or GP
beach VACATION spot
- More functions in CAS, like being able to copy and paste an outfit and/or accessories from one category to another, and the option to assign a few starting skill points to newly created sims based on their age. It's awkward when you create an entire family from scratch and the adults don't seem to have any more life experience than their little children.
- Zodiac signs and a somewhat elaborate astrology system, preferably combined with a new skill.
- A cold world where it's basically winter all year. We already have five eternal summer worlds (Oasis Springs, Selvadorada, Del Sol Valley, StrangerVille, Sulani), so something Alpine or even Arctic would make for a welcome (and literal) change of scenery.
- The ability to build my own functional apartments in any world I want.
- More danger, failure and consequences in my sims' lives. Right now the game is too safe and unchallenging.
Not sure if that's really everything I want/need, but definitely some of the most important points.
Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
slow dance
better babies
a romance system
more things for kids and teenagers to do

Emergency Services (i.e. Firefighters - we really need them) Sims do the stupidest things...lol
Configurable stairs/spiral stairs for one, for console. I believe PC has them already, console does not as far as I know. I did an update and checked and did not see them. So yea.
But most of all...the GALLERY so we have the option to share and download other users creation as they are able to do on PC.
•More stuff/activities for elders & teen
•A clutter stuff pack
•Better/more realistic relationships (one-sided crushes, polyamory,...)
•Retail on residential lots
A farming pack, or countryside pack, complete with farming, ability to sell your produce/livestock/products at your own farm store or at a farmers’ market. It would also introduce more sustainable living with crafts - sew/knit/crochet your own clothes, crafting in general - which you could also sell.
Music! I really need a music game pack so sims can be in bands again and have a wider variety of musical instruments for all ages to enjoy. I’m married to a professional musician and I play a lot of instruments myself. I really feel for me personally that this element of the game is lacking as it’s so important in my own life/family.
A winter holiday pack would be fun, somewhere where it’s always snowy, that introduces winter sports and alpine culture.
Not in terms of packs:
BB:
- true split level homes (I’ve lived in London 14 years and have always lived in Victorian terraced houses - they’ve all split level - so I can never recreate my homes in this game and it bugs me!)
- spiral stairs
- Painting ceilings and inside roof textures
- Placing windows on top of each other on one wall
- now the stairs have been updated, the ability to have identical stair shapes above one another.
General:
- Cars
- More active careers
- More business types (and the ability to run one from your house)
- Holiday homes
- Pond tools
Pack-wise, university is my preference, but it looks like that may be coming soon . I also want a better romance system, it would probably work well as a GP (similar to Parenthood), with turn ons & turn offs, a proper online dating system, more underwear/sleepwear CAS (we've needed this for ages!), slow dancing, wedding CAS (outfits, rings, etc.), and one-sided romance to be possible.
- Werewolves
- Spiral staircases
- Murphy Beds
- some hobby-specific objects and skills e.g. sewing, pottery, sports etc.
- musical instruments and band items
- teaching and singing careers
- Full EP dedicated to music (signers, music videos, recording studio's, shows, bands...)
- We NEED more romantic interactions!!!!
- Defiantly multifunctional lots!!
- Overhaul to ALL ages (except YA\Adults)
- It's just weird not having cars in a life simulator game!!
And a few things I wish we'll get at some point:
Zodiac signs, hotels, modeling career, spiral stairs, real babies, farming, burglars, I would love to see items from the sims 1,2,3 that can make a comeback.....and there's so much more- the list can go on forever LOL!!

1. Actual daycare/preschool for toddlers during the day, even if it’s for like 5 hours. It’d be nice for toddlers to meet other toddlers at pre-school so I can actually USE the toddler date social event.
2. Children having the private school option. They can either pay to get their kid in or they can take a test and based on skills they learned as a toddler they might get a scholarship to attend.
3. Teens, if were enrolled in private school as a child will automatically go as a teen since all sims go to the same schools from child-teens.
4. The feature can add more after school clubs and prom/graduation for teens.
5. Then there’d be the University aspects. From the campus(es) to the residential/dorms and then the community lots for sims in university town to mingle and have fun to forget the stress of studying.
I’m just a bit upset with EA with how the Sims 4 has turned out. It’s become more about aesthetic than the gameplay and it’s taking a toll on (at least for me) the gaming experience. It’s lost some of its substance and excitement.
And folk!
And folk metal...
