I am craving for better Sims interactions. Improvements on family play and family interactions between babies, TODDLERS, children, teens, parents, grandparent and even great grandparents.

*multitasking! Complete with multitasking settings which gamers can choose multitasking free will mode or multitasking by command mode

*multitasking... your sims interacting with other sims while in the middle of another action (cooking cleaning working out studying watching tv eating etc)

*While your sim is in the middle of doing something you should be able to click on another sim and find a multitasking tab which would offer different interactions to choose from. If you have multitasking free mode on Your sims might choose an interactions on their own!

*multitasking interactions such as "nag" "insult" "mock" "joke" "good morning" "good night" "I love you" "how was your day?" "how was work?" "how was school today?" "you know what I did today at work/school!" "do you need me to help you" "do you need something"

*I would love to see more comfort/loving options for family members such as Patting on shoulder, leaning on sims, putting arm around sims or putting their heads down of anothers shoulder, high fives, sims slapping bottoms, Sims coming over from behind hugging or kissing the other sims.

*All of the above interactions should be able to occur as a main interactions or as a multitasking interactions. meaning they can do the above while walking by and the other sim can continue with what they are doing all the while responding to the interaction

*Multitasking involving younger sims. how nice if toddler and infant interaction with their family would go smooth instead of only occurring by a player command

*Picture a sims carrying their infant and sitting down to watch tv all awhile feeding the child playing with the baby or rocking it to sleep.

*picture a toddler crawling or a child coming to their parent and asking to be picked up talked to or cuddled and the sims parent doing so without ever completely stopping what they are doing.

* infants toddlers and children could sit on their parents lap and be hugged bounced cuddled all while parent multitask doing whatever they were doing and interacting with their children

*I would love to see parents able to nurse, rock babies and sing to them while carry on with they were doing

*older family members bathing babies toddlers and children and playing with the kids who are in the tub (rubber duckies sail boats splashing)

*It be nice if they could multitask with their babies by having them in an infant/toddler sling. Cooking house chores helping kids do homework all while carrying and interacting with the infant/toddler.

*kids falling asleep on another sims lap and being able to be carried to bed (adult sims could carry adults sims too and accidentally drop them if their body skills are low to none lol)

*tucking kids in singing lullabies to them or reading a bedtime story.

*It would be cute if the baby would sleep in different positions, cuddle a blanket, suck a pacifier or its thumb.

*It be nice beside the option of a sitter non school age children can be placed in daycare.

*or once the toddler could walk/talk/and was potty train they can go to preschool. An adult/teen can carry the Toddler on and off the bus.

*Preschool would give children a grade and a half advantage when first starting grade school over children who did not go to preschool.

*disciplining toddlers children teen would be great from time out chairs to loosing play or tv time to being grounded.

*Also rewarding children for cleaning up good grades would be great

* having the option to scold children or praising

*depending on how the parents raise their child praising/disciplining/ignoring would result in how the children behave

*Toddlers, Children and teens behavior could range from somewhere between snoody dont care to get dirty proper children, to playful excitable yet well behaved children who occasionally need of re correction to out of control wild naughty rebellious border line evil children.

*toddlers children and teens can make parents (depending on parents personality) go through many emotions proud, happy, love, embarrassed, angry frustrated going insane (example evil sims can be embarrassed if their children are nice Good sims would feel embarrassed if their children acted bad/cruel)

*depending on age group, personality and upbringing our young sims should be able play calmly and quietly, paint, read, have dress up parties, tea parties, slumber parties, mischievous night out ,sneaking out with a group, THE PARENTS ARE OUT THE TEENS WILL PARTY vandalize things, set things on fire, steal, lie, play pranks, school events, trick o treating, fund raising, charity, girl/boy scouts, sports

*more children games and interactions such as board games, playing with "hotwheels" trains or dinosaurs playing cops and rubbers, cowboys and indians, children pretending to be doctors cooks rocket scientist teachers actors etc

*younger sims (some crazy adults too) should be able to slide down a railing, jump on furniture, swing on ceiling fans, hang off window curtain rods, color on walls, spill things, purposely/accidentally break things, track mud through the house, try to cover up what they did

*there should be more family activities such as pizza night ice cream sundaes parties Game night slumber parties tag hide and seek sports

*It be cool to have a Great grandparents pride icon and Grand children can have a wish for their own children be born in time to meet their grandparents. grandparents could have a wish to stay alive to meet great grandchildren

I think these add on would make the Sims family play more exciting and enjoyable.

LOOK THIS IS HOW IT WOULD LOOK

AND THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO GET BORED IF IT COULD BE PLAYED LIKE THIS:

meetkitty123

YES! And I would hate for those jobs to be rabbit hole careers. You could choose to be an Elementary Teacher, Junior High teacher, or High School Teacher. You would get tasks like "Give math quiz" "Help students with work" or even "Do Paperwork" and things like that. The Elementary school could have a play ground, and class-rooms and lunch rooms. And you could hang up posters in your classroom too, with encouraging quotes on them. "Study Hard and Ace Tests" "Be Smart, work hard!" etc etc. The Daycare could be in your home like with the TS3. There could be a baby-sitter job for the teens, and they would go to the sim's house and watch their kid.

meetkitty123

What do you guys think of the multitasking idea?

Simsdx

They should add slumber parties, birthday parties, pool parties, dress up parties, Hide and seek interaction, Abil ity to control Sim in school (add cafeteria and more), ability to see Sim during after school tutoring. And add toddlers back in of course

meetkitty123

@Simsdx That would be a great to see the children in school programs. One thing is disliked froms sims 3 was the kids disappearing when they went to private school. I missed inviting the head masted challege and seeing the kids getting home early and wearing their uniforms.

meetkitty123

babies need major improvement I wish they were not objects in the game

Awesome ideas. I would love to see the Season and Pets interactions toddlers had return as well like playing with butterflies and sleeping in the pet bed.

Although, I don't expect to ever see it, multitasking with a baby-in-arms is so much a part of being a parent. At it's most extreme it can look like:

Trying to cook with a baby in one arm, playing a computer game with a baby in one arm, talking to friends/on the phone/shopping/watching tv/pretty much every everyday activity with a baby in one arm Father of the child comes home at the end of the day (or even teenagers from school) and baby is transferred over so Mum can finally go to the toilet and have a shower. I was a teenager when my youngest sibling was born and I remember coming home from school and my mother greeting me at the door with "Take That" and pushing a grumpy baby into my arms. I guess they'd had a rough day

Thiiiiis!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is EXACTLY what I also thought of when EA/Maxis first announced multitasking Like like some real awesome super mom moves xD. And when the original render of the babies were released, I assumed it was also possible (since there wasn't a crib in sight for the original render). Then I was beyond shocked when I saw the actual game.

BTW though I love your ideas, it's the kind of multitasking I was honestly hoping for and assumed of when they talked about it.

meetkitty123

I think It can be done. The baby is already tied to the bassinet. So it couldnt be to hard to tie baby to a sling thats placed on a teen or adult sim.

meetkitty123

@Scobre I loved when the toddlers would hug the pets.

Sims should be able to gain relationship points with babies/toddlers who are being carried by a sling or rocked or pushed in a stroller or push along ride along bike/car

Me too. I hope both return and the interaction is available again. Pretty funny when toddlers would eat the pet food too.

Yes, gross but cute

meetkitty123

I really miss teaching the children to walk, talk and potty training. I miss have my sims cuddle them. I remember one time my toddler was so mad he climbed out the crib. I makes my so sad to think how awesome the sims 4 could have made toddlers in the game play.

@meetkitty123 Mom says playing doctor is kind of a touchy era. It could be misrepresented of something else
