    i will like to see in the game more dangerous like gangs and thieves. i like sims drama where sims will fight get married because rich sims money and cheat with others. i also like to see more occult like demons that can suck your life spirit and do evil things. demons should like to mischief and dark powers demons should like to prank you and make you scared like its a game for them i want to play as demon sims as well

    I've been playing some sims 2 and 3 lately and it makes me miss seeing sims spoon/cuddle in bed if they are lovers/partners. I would love to see this happen in Sims 4!

    MEANINGFULL EMOTIONS IN OUR SIMS that actually mean something and effect people around them...why wont this company fix the emotion system in this game and make it as good as the sims 2 used to be? The system they have to create these sims are probably better then they had when sims 2 came out...so what is the deal with this company? They just want to cater to 10 yr olds when probably more adults play this game....has anyone seen a sim other then your own playing foosball or bowling or camping etc? Or seen any other toddlers in the town besides your own? All these great packs but as always the game lacks good sim game play

    You know what breaks my gameplay and immersion? Playing a household and having a pop up for a random sim NOT in my household asking me if they like the snowboarding preference, or whatever else they may or may not like. If it doesn't pertain to the current household I am playing then this is something I do NOT want to see every 5 minutes. Can this be fixed?

    Genies, their Lamps could work like houses that are are bigger on the inside or like a secret lot.

    Hi, I’d love to see a sims game get released similar to when you released the sims 2 castaways on ps2 and the sims 2 strangetown on psp.
    I’d love to see some quests or a storyline released or even an expansion pack that has a storyline with a new world. Or even a whole new sims game that’s similar to the sims I mentioned above.
    The sims has brought me so much joy over my years I’m now 25 years old still play the sims (only game I actually play) I’ve also been playing since gosh probably as soon as I knew how to pick a controller up. I love how inclusive the sims has gotten over the years I don’t think I’d stop playing the sims ever.

    Some things I would like to see in updates for existing packs...
    Snowy Escape:
    - Tatami beds that can be rolled up and stored in inventory
    - Similar to the hotpot, an interactive tea set that can be placed on dining tables
    - Ability to cook and gift chocolates to other sims
    - Rabbit hole train stations
    City Living:
    - Ability to adjust the amount and size of apartments in a building in a separate mode, kind of like "edit town" mode from sims 3, but specifically for apartment buildings.
    - Rabbit hole subway stations

    I hope I can optimize the first person perspective,I like immersive games very much. The first person has a sense of substitution, but the effect is too bad now.The picture is very shaking, and you can only click on the visible place when you walk,I hope I can press wsad to move,If this is too difficult, I hope we can optimize the picture and don't shake it😃

    I hope I can buy out the house directly and rent it to others. I don't want to pay lot tax all my life, and I can customize the amount of each room like a hotel. Irrelevant people can live in the same house at the same time, but they are not family members. When recruiting roommates, they hope to take their families with them instead of just themselves😩

    It would be better if the hotel room can be customized

    To be quite honest, an equestrian game/expansion pack would be absolutely amazing, and with the new farm life update, not entirely out of place either 😅. It would be so much fun to be able to go on rides with your horse/ponies around town, to compete in competitions and win prizes or just simply chill in the stables with them. Adding a few skills, maybe show jumping, racing, horse riding in general? Take your child/teen to horse riding lessons (or yourself if you're a newbie😂). This would be such an amazing gameplay & I think many players would love to see it! It was done so flawlessly in sims 3, so if done now, I believe it would be a massive hit!
    And following on from that, I would like to suggest one other thing that could improve the gameplay experience in the sims, and that is a 'Into the Future' update. My comment is very 'sims 3' themed, I know this, but I see features in the older game that I enjoyed and still enjoy today, and how they just made my games that much more fun, and I think, imagine if that was in Sims 4 today? With the graphics and the exciting new additions of unique packs, and new mind developing the game, how mind-boggling would that be. I'm not saying 'copy the entire concept of Sims 3 packs and just improve them', I'm instead saying take inspiration from them, a develop them into something new, exciting and most importantly, different!
    Thanks for the game, truly is my most favourite thing to play, and my 1800 or something hours on it can certainly attest to that😂. Have a nice day/night!

    I still so much love for Fairies, Werewolves, Heartshape Bed, Spiral Stairs, Horses & Unicorns to come to Sims 4.

    • Fixing known bugs would be a great start.
    • Make more things customizable to our own wishes (days in lifespan, length of pregnancies, the number of days for a season or uni-term)
    • Sims being able to be in bed when someone comes home in the middle of the night or if you rotational play and join a family at midnight. Also if they are supposed to be at work/school when you go to the family they are.
    • Rabbit hole activities to send your sims to which will fill certain needs or completes activities (hang out with friends would fill social need, do homework at library would complete your homework and social need if you send a friend along, go to a spa would bring a tense sim home relaxed...) I love that I can go and do these things with my sims, but for when you play big families it's nice to be able to send some off and keep others as active
    • Let sims BE the roommate (rather than have roommates) and rent a room in someone's home
    • Let there be long term rentals for houses for sims who cannot afford to buy
    • Adjustable difficulty setting which would affect how much money we make, how hard skills are to master...
    • One-sided emotions (crushes especially)
    • Meaningful differences between life stages (aspirations, interactions and skills that are different between ages - the same way toddlers and children have their own skills and interactions, so should teens, ya, adults and elders. For instance bring back "hang out" for teenagers, let them have mood swings and let them have a faster decaying social need and fall in and out of love faster, let elders invite grandkids over to stay the night or complain that their kids never call them...)
    • More complex skill system where skills build on each other and it takes an actual effort to master a skill
    • Online dating and flirty chatting on computer (like simda dating mod)
    • Let us toggle on/off randomness and autonomous actions in game, such as I don't like that random sims walks up and kicks down my trashcan or my kids dollhouse (who does that?!?) and would love to turn that off, but I would love for my sims significant other to out of the blue propose to my sim, or my sim's date trying to kiss him or her.)
    • More impactful emotions for things like cheating or arguments, and less impactful emotions for "oh that's a pretty painting on the wall".
    • Turn ons and turn offs
    Moreover, I advise that the cart button must be destroyed!

    I would love to see a new create a lot or CAL like in the Sims 2 . Where you click on a nabourhood and there would be a create a lot button. Then when you go in you have a tool to make a lot anywhere up to 64 by 64 squares. Then it would show up with your lot on the overview map. Anyone else want this?

    It would be nice for a nursing home dlc
  • shadowstriker948shadowstriker948 Posts: 3 New Member
    It would also be nice for a official sim 4 modding tool from ea and a steam workshop

    A patch to fix the fact i can't build my rocketship
  • raiyraiy Posts: 1 New Member
    We need more different music. It would would be so awesome if we had some Metal and Rock! There are so many "radios" to choose from but no Rock or/and Metal.

    Please I'd love better representation for the infertile.
    "Try for baby" works nearly everytime, I'd love it to be more realistic.
    (Speaking as someone that has done IVF for years and still may never have their own).

    Perhaps every generated Sim (that is set as able to get pregnant), is 'born' with a random unknown fertility statistic.
    So someone could have 'Try for baby' work 40% of the time, someone could have it work 90% of the time, or for someone it could work 5% of the time.

    I haven't read through everything but I am pretty sure many of the major things I want to see have been covered.

    A few small things I would like to see in game..

    A pool\BBQ social event. I love throwing BBQ parties in the summer. I currently have a mod but I would like to see it in game.

    I would love some type of fireplace or campfire that requires us to chop down trees. It would be nice to have some trees we could plop down that can be harvested for wood and after a few sim days we can chop again. (maybe in a refresh of outdoor retreat?)

    Baby Shower social event. Add some baby shower games, gender reveal cakes(fireworks, etc) like after weddings, we get random baby gifts in the mail or in the inventory.

    Change pies to have the same tuning as cakes. I would love sims to grab pie after dinner like they do with cake. It would also be nice to age up from pies like cake.

    Call to meal option on ice cream

    The ability to lock the refrigerator like computers. It drives me crazy when I set food out for guests and they go in my fridge and grab food.

    fix the tuning of visiting sims. Sims should only come by a house only once a day(I would rather it be once every 2 days sheesh). Some of my unemployed sims are coming by like 5 times a day.

    I would love a feature like this! It would add so much to some of my stories, as well. No 100% chance. But I do feel this should be able to be toggled on/off, for those who want and like the almost 100% chance as is. :)

    I really miss the memory system from TS2. It's such a small thing, but it added a lot of character to TS2.

    it's very tiring to put on the makeup and accessories again for each outfit. So can we have an option to duplicate the makeup and accessories for each outfit?
  • DivaG48DivaG48 Posts: 1 New Member
    I would love to see a stuff pack with boutique clutter items such as more shoes, jewelry displays and purses, and maybe more hanging clothing options, mirrors and shelving for PS4 and XBOX, could maybe call the pack Chic Boutique?

    I have a few small QoL suggestions based off existing gameplay:
    - Babies should not be static objects, you should be able to move them, take them to see other members of the family and interact with them separately from the crib.
    - Elders should be able to live together in retirement communities (essentially created like University dorms)
    - Some more sports interactions would be amazing so that you can, for instance play 3v3 basketball or soccer and can have afterschool sports activities, stadium lots, going to see matches/games, have childen/teens' clubs for sports
    - Create a 'Limit items in Wardrobe' switch so that you can choose per household if you want full wardrobe access or the ability to purchase extra clothes with simoleons
    - More sims walking dogs around the world would be nice. I see people on bikes but no people walking dogs which makes it difficult to make pet friends. Pet play date would be nice as well (similar to toddler play date event)
    - This one is more of an observation, but toddlers feel too independent, so there should be less autonomy there, for instance I can go walk the dog and leave the kid alone in the house though no one would ever do that IRL so there should be something stopping sims from straying too far away from toddlers.
    - It would be great to have 'Teach to swim'/ 'Teach to ride a bike' when you have toddlers. We already have a small pool for toddlers so this action would just need adding, but it would be amazing if we could get smaller bikes where Sims would teach children how to ride them
    - A ghost switch would be great - when I play a realistic storyline, it's immersion breaking to have ghosts roaming around town (At least vampires and spellcasters look human..)
    - An off-the-grid water collector for roofs would be amazing, the ground ones are huge and take up loads of space in a garden
    - This is a bit of a biggie but a more well rounded health system in game would be great, I know there are (some truly amazing) mods out there that do this, but it would great to have this integrated in-game with the hospital that exists for the Doctor Career. It would be amazing to have varied illnesses, allergies, eye care, different health specialists (for instance dermatologists at Spas, maternity appointments at the hospital to find out baby gender), etc.
    -- Relating to the above it would be great to not have lactose intolerance as a trait (takes up space from actual personality traits) but as something that you hear from the hospital and have to manage (similar to the reward traits that just get added when purchased)
    - A few additional lot types for already existing gameplay - bowling alley, cinema, tattoo parlour
    - In Cottage Living we got the option for 'Simple Living' but there's still no way to make flour and sugar, so it would be amazing to see something similar to the candle making station but for flour and sugar with the associated plants being available for planting
    - It would be great if, similar to older Sims games, we could buy the books written by Sims in the world & something similar for music created in game would be amazing
    - A smaller telescope would be amazing, the only one in game takes so much space!
    - Ability to have more than 1 job at a time
    - Ability to remove holidays forever (Specifically looking at you Prank day)
    - Ability to plan vacations (& ideally implement honeymoons) and not have to take it immediately
