    Add "Invite X's household to hang out".

    Yes!!!

    Oh, while we're on invites - being able to accept an invitation to go hang out with someone without having to join the sim while they go hang out. Sometimes I'll be potty training a toddler or something and a kid's friend or whatever will invite them over and I want to be like "yeah, she's finished her homework, she can go out with her friend" except if I click "accept" it'll interrupt everything all my other sims are doing.

    I have the option to send sims to work alone. They can get invited out to rabbit hole events alone, or volunteer alone. I can even follow them to the event and then switch which sim I'm controlling to go back "home" as the player and play my other sims, but I can't just send them to social events alone and stay with the sims I'm currently focused on!

    I know "more options for rabbit holes" is an odd request, but while I would also, of course, love "active" versions of just about every career and event in the game (because of course I would) sometimes I also want rabbit hole versions, and that seems like a much easier ask of the devs.

    Yes, the household wife/mother can go hang out with her sister-in-law at a dance party, because dad has the kids covered tonight, but no, I don't want to go with because I'm focused on said kids! Let her go, let the AI raise her relationship with some folks and give her a little dance skill, and send her home without me having to abandon my current tasks on the home lot.

    Exactly! I'd so want to send my sims away to visit a friend/colleague/relative without having to do the double load screen and interrupting my focus on something important such as skilling up. Especially because the AI is atrociously dumb when it comes to AI-hosted social events (well at least the very few times I took the invitation, it was horrible).
    I like fantasy and a bit of Sci-Fi. Want to know what I'm reading?
    I also like wandering the hills.

    to add on I'd like to see manicure/pedicure stations. It's a small addition but I'd really enjoy it and I think others would too.

    spa day has manicure and pedicure ;)

    It only provided massages for hands and feet and not nail salon type services for hands and feet which is what I'd like to see.

    More realistic behaviors, and disabilities, but not to the point it would be offensive. If they were to make disabilities, it might not go very well if not interpreted right, so that's probably off the list.

    Open neighborhoods because my sims are hermits. Loading screens drive me insane. I don’t mind them when I have to travel to other parts of the world. But to have a loading screen to go to a lot that’s right across the street is pretty annoying. I would also like better infants. They are so boring. I only interact with them when they cry. They cry and I do the same 3 interactions in this order: feed, cuddle and change diaper. With my sims that already have leveled up completely with the parenting skill it’s just one interaction and that’s the super efficient baby care. So many great ideas posted in this thread!

    I really just wanna see more romance options! a "ask about crush" social especially. an interaction that only significant others could do to comfort sad loved ones would also be amazing. longer hugs + more.

    - opacity slider on makeup
    - porta-potties (not like the cement Public Park restrooms, like porta-potties made of plastic. Double fun: re-use the kicking over garbage can animation to have sims be able to tip the over when someone is inside)
    - improvements to emotions - tying them to who/what caused them. A sim that's angry because they were cheated on is the same as a sim that's angry because they were arguing about bands. I want a cheated-on sim to be mad at the cheaters specifically. I want a sim who's had an argument to be mad at the person they argued with. Moodlets are SO general as to be meaningless.
    - wouldn't it be cool if the monster under the bed actually did anything (like your kid got a cool trait for befriending it, or it could be made "human" like IFs from TS3 or SOMETHING)
    Sometimes I stream.

    overall just deeper gameplay honestly it feels like most sims have the same personality. guess this can be changed with interests, turn off and turn ons ect.

    - The ability to add/change occult status to any sim in CAS at any point in the creation process without losing progress.
    - PIE IN THE SKY WILL NEVER HAPPEN: Actually adding occult hybrids as playable intended features. The Sims 2 had the right idea on this one.

    Body hair for men is a must, more facial hair too. I think they only added three after the base game.

    Different stairs too. Spiraled stairs, elevators, just give us something else than straight stairs.

    But most importantly, a huge update to traits. They should add like 20 traits and let adult sims have 5 or at least 4 traits again.
    Sims seriously lack individuality.

    They could at least add back many traits from sims 3.

    1.) An overhaul to "apartment" system. We should have apartment as lots type. Maybe it could be defined as the main door they were using. We should be able to have room mates.
    2.) More purpose for kids and toddlers. They feel pretty useless. It would be nice if they could carry the skills with them.
    3.) Memories! This feature was great in Sims 2. I wish they could bring it back.
    4.) Cars.
    5.) More odd jobs and Part time jobs please. Like typing jobs. Cleaning jobs.
    6.) Food stalls should be able to function on community lots.

    I would like to have hobbies become a career and an option to quit your job and struggle until it becomes successful, or not, and be forced to ask for your job back.

    Superhero as a pack. Since a lot of it would really just be borrowing from magic abilities, there should be in-world options for strength, speed, and martial arts that allow others to fight back on an equal level. The ability to form teams and create sidekicks.

    Imaginary pets for Children, Cat Ladies, and Parrots.

    Time travellers that can pull playable characters from other time periods. Have them adjust to the modern era.

    New Jobs: Street Performer, Fashion Designer, Hair Stylist Jobs, Exorcist, and Event Promoter for Famous People. Garage Bands that can develop into Famous Bands.

    Zombie Apocalypse Pack with Road Warrior vehicles and looting.

    Limited Multi-Player mode so that players can attend a festival or work on a challenge, but have limited ability to affect the world's build. I figure it would be the only way to do multi since you cannot have characters changing the color or a wall or placement of a chair and not simply run out of band width.

    Customizable Zooz, Circuses, and Theme Parks. Animals that can escape from the Zoo. Supernatural Hybrids in Freak Show. After hours sneaking around a theme park (insert Scooby Doo theme song here).

    Wheelchair, Access Ramps, and the ability to lower countertops. As a handicapped person, I would like a Sim more like me. Also, Care Attendant as a career.

    Blind and Deaf Sims. Sign Language as Simlish (don't have to actually be true ASL).

    Foreign Languages with different colored speech balloons to indicate who shares that Language.

    The ability to get lost in an environment. Asking Directions. Exploring and Making Things Worse. Hidden Areas or Abandoned Cabins.

    More things for the Sims to actually do, specifically our younger and elder Sims.

    And apartments and the ability to have more than one residence on a lot, that would be so useful.

    And perhaps bicycles.
