I'm starting to miss the color wheel as well. I made sims whose favorite colors were orange and purple/plum/lilac, and I realized that the game was sorely lacking clothing options for those.

:) I think it would be easy to implement the color wheel may be in and update or something. it would not be in a game pack. I do not think so.
we'll give you a full refund. Just make sure you make your request within 24 hours after you first launch the game, within seven days from your date of purchase, or within seven days from the game's release date if you pre-ordered, whichever comes first.
Who said EA doesn't have a sense of humor
Sadly, I doubt the color wheel will be in TS4. They would have to update every single pre-existing item, hairstyle, and piece of clothing to support the feature, which is too much work. Which is why I hope they'll bring it back in Sims 5.

If they can add those toddlers they can do anything. the game already can handle a color wheel if they like they will. this I do think is possible. they gave us lots already to do. so they believe we are good for now lol, just my words. :)

Well, I hope so. They were probably planning toddlers from the start and just lacked the time. Not sure if they can sneak in a color wheel, but I'll be pleasantly surprised if they do it.

yes your right, I loved in TS3 how we could buy our kids a home to move in. you can buy as many homes you wanted and not have to move. That way when your child grows to an adult you can just let them move into one of the homes. so much more like a real family would do. In sims 4 how do they plan on us moving out our adult kids? it's just not a nice way really. I hope in Sims 5 we would be able to give them money and a home.

i had forgotten all about the color wheel. now that you mention it, i really do miss it. allowed you to make matching outfits of the same color/pattern. how many times have i wished for more color choices when looking for an outfit? lol
I sorta don't want a 5 though... I mean. I miss all the diversities we had in 3, but. I'm broke. That's a fact and chasing after the newest and greatest just isn't gonna cut it. xD;;;;
What I would love to see for a Sims 5 would be big red letters saying "FREE" though that's not gonna happen lol.

i love a lot of your ideas. sadly, i agree with simpkin that it probably just isn't realistic for a couple of reasons.
1. it would require really good computers with really good video cards. too expensive for most people and the game developers are going to want to make a product that a large percentage of people can run on their computer. what good does it do to develop a really awesome game if two thirds or more of the population can't run it on their computers?
2. i have no experience in programming, but i have to believe it would take quite awhile for a team of developers to create it. they obviously much prefer to put something out that's much simpler and faster to develop. the more complex something is, the harder it is (maybe even impossible) to make it compatible with everybody's computer system/video cards.
having said all that, i do think some of your great ideas are probably very doable. will be interesting to see what sims 5 has to offer us when it does come out though.
The idea of major and minor traits is also good. I always thought it would be great to give "magnitudes" to traits, so you can have sims who are just a tiny bit evil, or full-blown. It's more like a cross between the point system of 1 & 2 and the trait system of 3 & 4. Honestly, some traits have less of an effect on a sim's overall personality (like vegetarian), so it would be nice if they could take up fewer "slots".
So maybe trait points? Each lifestage has a different amount of points they can spend either upon aging up or at anytime during their lives. So you could have a scale like this:
Evil--0--Good
No matter if you do evil 8 (going down) or good 8 (up), you would still have spent 8 points. Certain traits may not be able to do this. Once you have ten(?) trait points for a particular skill, that becomes an actual trait. Other traits like vegetarian could be habit traits. Habit traits would be eating habits (vegetarian, vegan, or non-vegetarian), and others like that.
I would like to see in Sims 5 also along with what you want. which would be great . But also to be able to add up to 5 friends say from your Facebook or any online friends that play the Sims 5 alone with you. how would you go about that?
Hmm, I wouldn't make the game multiplayer, that would come as an online spin off/add on

This is my ideas for a game to release in the mid 2020's or early 2020's so lots of time could be spent on it.
My view is if you buy a 2in1 or a $200-$300 laptop well, don't expect to play good games.

Hmm...I was thinking of something similar. Like each sim has a number of points (say 10), some traits offer levels (like level 1 to 3 evil), while other traits only cost 1 point (you're either a vegetarian or not). So you can have more than 5 traits, but lots of those have a smaller impact on your sim's personality. Or maybe you can have only 3 traits, but they each affect your sim's personality strongly.

This is my idea, for it to release in the 2020's and I believe if people are going to buy not good computers they can't expect to play the sims any way, but here is my idea, have a version that is a little cheaper but has closed world, and buildings and careers are not active and are rabbit holes, there is also no seasons/weather except for in a free pack, Pets will be in it, but limited.
Well, I can not see Maxis going for cheap, they are on the high end of technology now and always have been. I think the price of computers have already dropped . and we would not need a super computer to run your ideas as a Sims 5. they can push it, hammer it, stand on it, whatever is needed if they want to make it they will. and I am sure it will fit and play on a mid-range price computer. you just need a good graphic card you can find them on mid-range price computers if you shop around. Just first look on Sims site what kind of graphic card is needed. Then a good connection and net service are needed.

You gotta make this game yourself cause there's no way anyone's ever going to make a game like that
"Ever" is a long time
To let the sims graduately age is a huge problem with current technology. I agree in that. But even though it probably won't happen in TS5 I believe that it actually will happen some day. Maybe about 30 yrs from now

Did not Link age in Zelda, slowly so it already happens, Did he not?

Did not Link age in Zelda, slowly so it already happens, Did he not?
I don't play Zelda. So I don't know how it works there.
But the problem isn't to let us watch a character grow if that character doesn't have any interactions with other characters or objects in different sizes because this surely can be done already. The problem is that all such interactions depends on heights. We would like the sims to kiss the air above the heads of lower sims and we wouldn't like the hand of a sim hit the wall above the phone on the wall or above (or below) the surface of a table or a stove. If heights of sims got an infinite number of options then it would be almost impossible to still have such interactions in the game - or the game would only be able to run on special built million dollars computers that none of us could afford. Therefore EA is extremely unlikely to attempt to make such a game until our computers have become a hundred or a thousand times stronger.
I'd like to imagine there are clever ways to handle varying heights. They were able to do multi-tasking after all, so maybe one day gradual aging can be tackled

Agreed. There are several ways. But varying heights will still mean that the minimum requirements for the game have to be much higher unless a lot of other things in the game are simplified. But EA doesn't want high minimum requirements for Sims games because they are mainly targeted at the youngest teens and people who otherwise only play small casual games. Therefore I don't believe that EA will consider varying heights in Sims games for the next many years.
