• The whimsy

• The Cake Dancer
  
• The Ice Cream Parlor & The Candy Store with all the associated Build/Buy pieces to make it work

• The Western Zodiac
  
• The cut scenes for huge life events
• The traits seemed to have more impact like messy Sims didn't make their beds
• Setting climates for each neighborhood so they made sense
• The had the best functioning hotels - TBH Island Living had a nice resort system too but it was so late in the game and would have been better than the hostels in WA. Hotel Desk, Locking Doors, Maid Service, Concierge activities, Room service, shuttle service
• Stable restaurants - Family could have job positions, plus the table interactions, the roving musician

• The 3 universities instead of two
• Juicing
• The Carpool, the Bus for kids - you could even see the driver honking
• The garden judging for the garden club
• The Private schools - (different uniforms, types of schools and their bonuses) and the Headmaster scenario because a level of difficulty in order to get into private schools should be there.
  
• The witch alignments (neutral, good, bad, very good, Very evil)
• Retail experience was better, you could even see simoleans changing hands, the changing rooms, the generic radio stations,

• The Town Center where the Seasonal festivals were held. They were better than all the fairs Sims 4 had
• Generations & Supernatural almost everything was perfect. The Vampires were better in Sims 4 though
• The Fairies & Werewolves
  
  
• World Adventures - (minus the hostels, See Sims 2 Hotels), the adventure aspect was great fun, the countries were gorgeous, camels in Egypt was a missed opportunity, the mummy, Archeologist as a career was also a missed opportunity
• Nectar Making was excellent in World Adventure. I'd even keep the grape varietals
  
• Vacation Homes
• Cars - the car alarm, the radio, setting ownership, teaching teens to drive, parking "wink", Parking Spaces
• The Ice Cream Man - I don't mind the food stalls I just dont want them in place of proper bricks and mortar lots
  
• Horses, Horseback Riding, the Horse barns and Unicorns
  
  
  
• The Rabbit-holes - But ONLY for specific places and the actual buildings must be shown - Town Hall & Courthouse, Military Base but not the obstacle course, The High school, The Private Schools, The Warehouse, The Volcano Base, The University classrooms but not the Student center or labs and lecture hall. The Office Building, The Hospital, The interior of the Equestrian center but not the obstacle course, The Fortune Teller's Caravan ((I loved the music), The Science Lab and Observatory, the police station, The movie theatre but not the lobby
• The Mermaids were better in terms of playability based on all the cool dive spots and the hidden island
• Firefighters and the firehouse
• Police, Burglars, Burglar alarms
• Being able to swim in almost all bodies of water
• Skating on frozen lake
• Scuba Diving including deep diving. Sims 4 cheaped out on this to their shame.
  
• The Deer - Would be a great come back for forested area along with the wolves. In general areas are better with animals.

• Sketching, Sculpture work, Glassblowing, Photography
  
  
• The Tattoo Shop
  
• The achievements for skills and collecting beyond getting skill level 10
• The Amusement park - It was a good lot. To make it really awesome it would have had to had a ferris wheel and more Midway games
  
• The Geisha Statuette from the Sims 3 store. Not that I want this item back per se (Although I wouldn't complain about it) more that I liked the detail.
  

• The Vampire Pack - The vampire were superior to past vampires from everything to their powers and weaknesses, the detail stuff like making garlic wreaths and chains and bringing back the coffins and other tropes from folklore and the movies. I even love the Bleh! Seriously if they had the cape thing Bela Lugosi did I'd love it all the more. I would have loved it if they had brought back the Vampire specific Eclipsing Fog from Sims 3 but I would have had that fog protect the vampires in daylight.
  
• The Veterinary Clinic - Illnesses and injuries
• Holidays, Event Planning, Holiday Traditions all were fabulous - Do that again
• Loved the clubs those were great
• The variety of fairs and cultural festivals - Sims 3 did the seasonal festivals better by far but variety is the spice of life and exploring other cultures is quite fun. The food selections were good and adding them to the potential restaurant menus was a good idea
• Separating Cooking from Baking - Baking should have been a base game skill.
• The Restaurant Menu - this was a nice touch. It just needed to be tweaked so courses came out properly. Being able to add to the menu and setting it to create restaurants with different cuisine is always the right thing.
• Lot Traits - I hope in future they have strong impacts for lots this can help make visiting different lots more unique.
• Hats separate from hair
• The Voice Modulation
• Spa Day was great - Everything about it was fabulous ESPECIALLY after you added Manicures and Pedicures.
  
  
• Setting the holiday decorations for the outside with the little decoration box
• Setting the phones ring tone
• Trimming the Tree
• The multiple outfits one can plan in the different types of clothing

• Snowy Escape - The Winter Sports - would have been better in a European Ski Town. So that the Japanese aspects could have been better
• Snowy Escape - The Bath House, Kotatsu, the hot pot

• Snorkeling - I think it had its place WITH Scuba not in place of it.

• Pet clothing

    Taste & Preferences, Personality Traits
    
    • Preferences should be in the Base Game and they should be as follows Favorites and Dislikes.
    • Dietary choices should not be a personality trait and waste a slot. They should be separate choice that all Sims get.
      • Omnivore
      • Pescetarian
      • Vegetarian
      • Vegan
    • Food Favorites & Dislikes will come from all available food options once this is selected. So a vegan won't have steak as a Dislike or Favorite because they don't eat animal products, but using the remaining food choices. For example they love Vegan lettuce wraps but Dislike Vegetable soup.
    • Hygiene - I think this should be a separate Personality Category like Dietary Choices
      • Dirty - Doesn't wash hands after restroom, doesn't cover their mouth when sneezing, doesn't brush teeth after meals, no nighttime/daytime routines, Belches/Farts and laughs
      • Moderate - Washes hands after restroom, covers mouth, Brushes teeth in the morning/evening, Basic Morning/night routines (face wash, moisturizer)
      • Fastidious - Washes hands after restroom/before cooking/cleaning up after pet/ taking out garbage, Brushes teeth after every meal & morning/night, Extensive Daytime/nighttime routine (wash face, moisturizer face and neck, serum, and sun screen on face neck and hands)
    • Favorite Season - Would be a new favorite introduced with Seasons. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter
    • Sims 2 had a system called Interests for Sims and pets. The amount of points you had in a particular interest influenced how often you engaged, thought or talked about it. The points should be replaced with sliders and the set Interests can be anything between 0 and 5 max interest. The interests should not be choices that are in the favorites/dislikes.
    
    Favorites & Dislikes - Since most people have more likes than dislikes. Favorites will have more options. EXCEPT Grumpy or Evil Sims who will have fewer Favorites and more dislikes.

        Family Connections
        
        Family Tree - Should go back with as many generations as the game can handle (for the benefit of legacy players). Doesn’t have to be complicated just an identifier for all parties. Although the longer and wider we can make the trees the more fun they will be for challenges and sponsored challenges. Family Trees should be Base Game as a part of CAS!!! If it isn’t done then don’t release the game.
        
        • Parents
        • All Grandparents on both parents sides

        • Pure bred animals that have won Best in Show get a little Blue Ribbon on the side of their picture.
        
        How Many Family Members can we create in CAS?
        
        As many as you want to make in a Multi-Generational Family. However after the family is created it should still conform to the usual rules of households and will need to be split up if the number of Sims and pets exceed what can live in one home. So if you make a family that consists of Grandma, Grandpa, Dad, Mom, 2 Children, an Aunt and her Spouse and their two kids plus 1 dog and a cat. You will need to split out at least individuals to another household to keep it at the 8 capacity. But suppose you want to split out Grandma & Grandpa and the cat, into one house, the family with the two kids and the dog into another, and Aunt and Uncle into another while retain the family connection and a relationship level you could reasonably expect, you should be able to do that without having to play through several generations on multiple saves.
        
        Major Note - It cannot be understated that children in the Sims should NEVER, EVER get a romantic feelings towards adult Sims or vice versa even as a glitch. This is absolutely disgusting. If this becomes a reported glitch that seems to be common, you should immediately issue a public apology and fix it as priority one over any other considerations. The fact that this happened in Sims 4 and was not addressed at the time of my writing this is nothing short of vile probably bordering on evil. This unfixed issue is probably being exploited by monsters as we speak. The developers and company execs should frankly be ashamed. This also goes for any glitches that pertain to pets and Sims in a romantic sense… shudder…as well. Neither Animals or children can consent to anything romantic and to have anything in our games that come close to this is an abomination.
        
        Relationship Icons - Please give them Colored Icons. If they are more than one thing give them appropriate Icons.

        Game Play
        
        • Basic Banking, Wills
          
        • Consequences - Do bad stuff or dumb stuff and you should have some sort of payback for choices. There doesn't feel like there is any permanence. For Ex.
          • Have a bad relationship with your teenager they can run away.
          • Don't take care of your health over the course of the Sims's life then they die far earlier
          • Gossip too much and you are bestowed with the reputation of being the town gossip and the townies will have a worse relationship with you.
          • Have a bad temper you may be sent to Anger Management
          • Have a bad relationship with your spouse then you may have to go to couples therapy
          • Have a bad relationship with your parents when they die you have a chance of being left out of the inheritance
          • Have a bad reputation and a lot of enemies then when the Sims dies they can get someone who comes to the funeral in a red dress
          • If you are in the politics or are a celebrity and you are caught cheating on your spouse then your career can take a hit. Such as a Mayor being voted out of office chance card.
          • Don't pay your bills then first your TVs have the cable/Internet cut off Second the power gets turned off, then water, then stuff get repossessed
        • Farming EP with a lovely rural setting where we can really concentrate on horses, cows, chickens, pigs and all the lovely new harvestables.
        • Funerals - with life we have death. Why has this always been so glossed over
          
        • It would be nice to have the Big Boss & Headmaster Scenarios Back maybe slightly different but with no less consequence
        • I'd like it if Sims could whistle
        • Play Bingo for Simoleans
        • I'd love it if burglars and detectives step up their game with heists, mysteries, security systems (laser etc)
        • I'd like it if we could pick between the Western Zodiac or the Eastern Lunar Zodiac
        • The water effects from Sims 4 they were great I hope we get swans as well as ducks.

Taking another break from social media & community my friends. Nothing bad, just clearing my mind to focus on an important time for the game.
I hope some of you will be future customers and my focus is on delivering a great game to serve you. Love you all, seeya in a few months.

• "[EA] has clearly taken note of the revenue-generating potential of virtual platforms powered by user-generated content"
• "game's developers at Maxis are well aware of the inherently social nature of today's leading metaverse platforms"
• "another key change that EA has made to bring 'The Sims' closer to its metaversal competitors is the series' recent switch to a free-to-play, live service model"
• "We have already done branded packs with 'The Sims 4'...We will do more over time - we're just dipping our toes in now."
• "If EA truly wants to compete with today's leading metaverse platforms, it will have to support the development of a more robust creator economy that allows brands to activate inside the game with minimal involvement from EA itself"
