    I wish Sims 4 let us have more than one business in a building, even a residence and a business together. Like the coffee shop in the restaurant, the store owner who lives upstairs from his shop, or the homeowner who rents out a room.

    This is my exact same sentiment. Many of the premade bars and other lots have all this extra unused space above. It's perfect for apartments.

    I really hope one day they add more CAS and overall relationship types that get recognized while you play. How can I make a grandparent but their grandkid can't actually be recognized as their grandkid in the relationships panel? :( I miss how TS3 did it, it even recognized step-family in the live mode panel.

    @Coconut27 I thought they do say grandparents and grandchildren. I even get cousins on the relationships when checking in game on relationship details.

    I would really like home repair. When I first played the Sims 1, a friend described how the house will break down and you need to repair it, but I never experienced it how I imagined it. Like if a sims lived in the same house for over 20 years, one might experience a leak, and they would need to grab a ladder and climb up on top and fix it. This is what I was waiting for and never experienced in the Sims.

    Also before 20 years, change of weather, you will have to clean the gutters from all the leaves and debris. Dust traps and cleaning cobwebs with in the game not build mode. I guess adding black mole was in a way getting there, with the next expansion pack, but that wasn't not my first choice, and its a bit overwhelming, with death and all, I hope to be able to turn that off. I know someone who had this in their apartment, and they said it can travel to you brain and make your brain rot and cause dementia, before death. Grossly terrifying but you don't die overnight. His bathroom turned into a huge construction sight and he had to used the bathroom somewhere else in the mean while as the gutted it.
    Like I want depth in the game but not that terrifying.

    Like the wall textures have clean and then worn and dirty. You can guess in 5 years time, all walls need a fresh coat of paint. It would be nice to see the walls change with regular wear and tear, and you see the animation of the sims diy painting their walls with a fresh coat of paint, or hiring carpenters to. All systems and parts of the houses and apartments need repair like floors,...

    This could definitely be explored with the new For Rent expansion coming out as I know first hand what it is like from the landlord's side, tenant's side and property owners side, all the fixer uppers issues which pop up. Thiis would add dynamic realistic game play.

    Also, if you live someplace where there are bears or raccoons, they break into to houses or garbage areas turn things upside down and destroy the place and steal. I would love to see that. I've see footage of bears using the hot tub and pools. Would love that in game.

    Could be- and this is controversial- an opportunity to introduce guns into the game. I mean, I am not politically pro-gun in real life hell, it's a game, and there are tons of games with guns, running and killing, hunting.... (i am vegan and I don't believe in animal hunting either- but selling animals for meat is in the game). It would be rad for historical game play. Also more historical game play items like horse carriages.

    Permanent Plantsim
    Also give back all their powers and the ability to grow their own babies like plants, surprised the Gurus haven't done this already, Updated Plantsims is something Simmers been asking about for years on here.

    I'm 22 and lost my teeth earlier this year. I thought it would be kind nice (and a little funny) to add an option for NO teeth. Not sure how that would effect gameplay, just something I'd like to see!

    I sympathy with you, @GanjaSloth. :( My poor Mom lost most of her teeth at the age of 25. :'(
    Thank goodness it wasn't inherited. My Daughter & I have very good teeth. :D
    As for no teeth added in CAS for teens & up, that would be fine. ;)

    Refaire la galerie (et même le reste). Il faudrais redonner un coup de boost à la galerie, nouvelle fonctionnalités, icon plus propre, des profils plus beau, interface légèrement plus moderne, mais tout cela en gardant le style bien aimé des sims 4. Merci d’avance

    I agree with redoing the Gallery, your ideas like beautiful profiles, updated interface, cleaner Icon and new features are all pretty good.

    As a Canadian I don't really speak French, I cheated with Google Translate, besides all our French people live in Quebec.

    Would very much like the Wall Mailboxes visible when the walls are in Cutaway View. Anytime I need to pay bills I need to put the wall up just to see the mailbox.

    Form a band group idea:

    >>((- Add drums and other instruments -))<<

    - Chose the type of band you want to create and find sims with appropriate skill to join (rock band, indie band, pop band, etc)
    - Depending on the selected genre you can actually hear your sims performing those genres of songs that they create
    - Studios you can rent for band practice (not a rabbit hole)
    - Find small gigs in special pubs to perform in front of an audience (still not a rabbit hole)
    - Gain celebrity points and popularity to get invited to perform on large stages/stadiums venues (maybe semi-rabbit holes. You still need to see and hear your band)

    Note:

    - if you don't own Get Famous, you can get invited to perform on the big stage after a number of small / medium gigs
    - you can hear your songs while they are performed on the stadium, and you can see your band as well (if it's going to be a semi-rabbit hole to avoid performance issues)

    I really wish I would have gameplay like this. Yes the sims 4 is very pretty. But it is very boring as well.

    I'm posting this on the free update ideas because honestly this gameplay should have been included in the get famous expansion pack. Maybe there aren't many rockstar bands enjoyers but there are so many indie and K-pop fans out there, this gameplay would've attracted a lot of people. When the expansion was released and I saw that there are no drums and can't form a band I was very disappointed and I still am...

    Is there any way that we could get some screened-in porches or lanais on the Sims 4? I'd love to have a Four Seasons room built into my Sims house.

    if you have the greenhouse haven kit, one swatch has like a screen mesh- think its the last brown with black. I like to use it. Greenhouse haven kit is really my favorite kit. I used it for real floor to ceiling french windows and doors on old french quarter homes. I can be used for some much more than just greenhouses. I really wish the made more build buy kits like this.

    I also have a custom content of screen doors. One very cute with the screen door swung open. If I find he name in game I will share it, if you're interested.

    I wanted the built in screen porch to and while I found the exact custom content for it somewhere, it always crashed my computer. I think with with the gh kit and some columns and maybe raised beam pieces from cottage living you could make it

    What I want in future free base game updates:

    - Cemetery lot types, with Roaming ghosts and ghostly whispers lot traits.

    - Funeral Events

    - Wood working table update, more craftables. And no more descriptions on the crafted items in live mode.

    - Sim height presets

    Generally I think various packs could use a little free update.

    -Scarier looking werewolves.
    It should at least be an option for them to not look like a furry. Better head shapes, more evil eye options and more intimidating teeth options could all help with this.

    -Kylo Ren's Lightsaber available.
    It could be a unique saber where you can't change the crystal of maybe, just existing as a set hilt/crystal combo. Could also maybe allow players to actually duel Kylo Ren while at it.

    -Able to cut through the jungle with a lightsaber.
    Just a cross pack thing that would make sense. Why the heck would someone buy a machete if they own a lightsaber, or would use their hands to claw through the jungle when they have a lightsaber in their inventory.

    -More alien types.
    Possibly along with a revamp perhaps, to allow us to make more varied aliens of very different kinds. Maybe with different abilities too.

    -Robot customisation on par with Sims 3: Into the future.
    Seriously, why can't they be customised in appearance? Sims 3 did this so much better, it's a huge step backwards. Let us pick different heads, torsos, arms and legs. Even a few options would already go a long way.

    -Traits becoming more meaningful.
    This is something that needs to be done across the whole game, including traits added through packs. It all just seems so meaningless as it is, affecting sim behaviour very little.

    -Likes and dislikes affecting behaviour.
    Sime should avoid doing things they dislike and steer more towards the activities they do like, engaging more in them on their own. Also switching the radio to a music style they like instead of hate dancing to disliked music and then get upset about it.
    As it is I don't bother any more giving them likes and dislikes because it means nothing and I am tired of them getting annoyed at automatically doing what they hate.

    -More options to deal with noisy neighbours in city apartments.
    Should be able to isolate the place or something, it's very annoying.

    a way to filter build buy without custom content. Better filters and search features for both build buy and create a sims catalog, is seriously needed.

    i think the ui for the for rent pack needs to minimize the top left- you cant see full screen and cant click to turn it off and it's not needed the whole time
