what content, feature, object, system, do you feel the game needs for you to feel it's complete? say you love faeries and you want them so much on ts4. you get them and you're like "wow we finally got faeries on ts4 now it feels complete for me!"
i know there are many threads about this but wanted to make another one lol
for example popular requests are color wheel, better babies, highschools, open worlds, bunk beds, spiral staircases, farms, etc.
mine are improved AI, emotions & traits rework, attraction system, interests, bug fixes, color sliders, open neighborhoods, toggles for no random townies spawning & story progression, CAW, more interactions, more things for our sims to do, etc. also cheaper packs (ea can afford it) & less misleading/dumb marketing. and ea, hire more people for Maxis, care a little bit now will you?
so, what are yours? are you happy with the game already?
i'd love if people keep it to oneself and this does not become a "why would you want x? we don't need x/we need z"

Updated with Werewolf Diaries (1)
random events, wants/fears,
generations,
cars and bikes, music bands
penguins
After that, a trait overhaul would be nice, so that traits actually did things. And interests/hobbies so that my sims will do things based on those interests autonomously. Of course, hobbies would have to include things they can already do (reading, playing music) as well as new crafts and new activities (board games, casual sports, etc.) After that... eh. Not needing mods for Story Progression (or having story progression actually follow a script of some kind based on traits, interests, and backstory) or attraction would be nice, but not that high on my list of things TS4 "needs"
But at this point, I feel I've gotten enough enjoyment out of TS4 in the not quite two years I've been playing that if they were to announce TS5 tomorrow, and with it the end of TS4 packs, I wouldn't feel like I'd been shorted, even if it did mean I'd be starting over again.
From detailed animations, more togetherness,more interactions and group/couple activities, to more packs, trait/emotion overhaul, more men clothes, more little animals,more sentiments, more occult stuff. Upgraded aliens, underwater lots... lol so much...
- werewolves
- wants and fears
- autonomy overhaul
This would add to my enjoyment:
- historical features
- active school
- horses
2) Whims update
3) Emotion reworks
4) Hobbies/Interests
5) Worlds update - all water swimmable and create routing for roads to allow cars/horses in the future.
6) Multifunctional lots
7) Generational gameplay, including better babies
1. A better AI, where the sims do not act like they are tech-addicts.
2. An attraction system with custom toggles so the player has more control.
3. Ability to have employment options that do not use any electronic devices what-so-ever.
4. Ability to easily customize which era I want the game to be set. I know there are players who do not want the modern day agendas forced in-game.
5. More family gameplay that is not so "young adult/adult" centric. The toddler, kids, teen, and elders all need gameplay that is specific just for them.
With just those few things, I think the game would be much more appealing and player friendly.
What is CAW?
Create A World. Basically a world creator tool.
I agree. The game is in dire need of some fundamental, and loads of minor, bug fixes. Adding new content or more complex systems to a game with so many bugs won't fix it. It'll only make it less playable/enjoyable.
As for new/improved features I'd like more control over how (many) sims are generated and how NPC roles are assigned. That includes whether or not/how many occults the game creates, etc, etc.
But first, bug fixes.
Currently it feels like everything revolves around young adults/adults and as a family player that is not always where my game play is centered.
More realistic romantic interactions...
My sims should be able to cuddle in bed or on a couch while watching TV, they should be able to slow dance together.
Fix the bugs and glitches.
The game will never feel complete to me until it has these things.
I've been begging for it since release and at this point if it never arrives I'm just gonna go crumplebottom on world probably
obviously i also still really want various other things like occults and memories and wants and fears and all sorts of romance interactions and systems and whatnot...
but really if they just added beautifully animated detailed romantic couple dance i would probably cry tears of joy already
pls i beg

- Ghost Sim Overhaul (friendly or evil ghost, abilities that increases as ghost grows in strength)
- Romantic Interactions, most of them has already been covered, but I'll add: Romantic Woohoo, where the Sims walks hand in hand to the chosen place, Faithful Pledge were your Sims grasp each others hands and swears to be true to each other (no more straying for those Sims unless the player breaks it for them), the option for a Sim in a relationship to reject other Sims and state why. Long Embrace, for those Sims who have missed each other terribly over the weeks or months. Supporting Embrace, similar, but two Sims that comforts each other and whispers words of comfort. And yes, slow dancing is a must.
- And I at least want my Sim to acknowledge that he or she is cheating, and severe relationship loss if the cheated Sim catches you, with the relationship bar being locked for a week or more with the Sim constantly being sad/angry at you if you try to talk to them. Forgiveness have to be earned, either your Sim works for it, or you control the other Sim and make them very forgiving.
- More family interactions, teens doesn't really feel like teens outside of school. My teen is always 18-19 because of this. Toddler and child interactions with both parents.
- I'm fine with the stuff packs we have for now, unless they add unique items.
We want: Faeries, with a good ability tree, hopefully before summer 2024.
What do we want to get rid of: The holiday bug, the constant showering and the weed glitch.
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
More historical story abilities - like a medieval world/clothing/hair
Babies -freed with pushchairs/prams, playpen and swing chair like in sims 3!
Colour sliders on everything
More designs for rugs/soft furnishings, current ones are boring
My dream would be a farm but I know thats not possible
Dont care about:
Traits
Fears & wants ( I decide what my sims want or fear!)
attraction system (I decide who they date/marry)
More tattoos
Slow dancing
A better romance system (could care less about an attraction system)
Water terrain tool. I want my ponds back.
Sims to be able to swim in oceans other than in Sulani
Houseboats
Real Estate
Free babies from the basinet
Minor pets/animals (snakes, birds, turtles, goats, chickens, ducks)
I gotta long list of things will never happen lol
I don't really want "fewer" things put into the game, but I'd love to be able to more fully control what goes into MY interpretation of the game. For example, I totally understand why many people want more/better emotions and such, but I'm personally not fond of some of the ways such things are (or might be) implemented. Beyond a baseline (such as we already have) I prefer to define for myself what and why my sims are feeling in any given situation. Essentially I guess I just wish it were more of an actual sandbox where each of us as individuals could more easily make our own rules for how we play.
Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off.
Overhaul of sims personalities
Overhaul of all the life stages/gameplay specific for life stages
Toggles
More hobbies
Interactions between sims that are not just talking animations.
Make the thought bubbles resemble what the sims are actually talking about
Attraction system
Werewolves
Slow dancing
More romantic interactions for couples, or potential couples IE walking hand-in-hand, or even arm-in-arm. Slow dancing would be nice, too.
Award show for Sims in music, a better chance for written songs to be recognized. IE not just a pop-down saying your Sim won an Accolade, but an actual invitation to attend the ceremony with them RECEIVING the award.
More musical instruments IE Drum set; bass; some wind instruments.
Dancing Lessons for Child/Teen/ and up Sims IE Ballet; tap. Ball Room dancing (to go along with the slow dance for our couples).
Better Weddings IE the guests actually sit and watch the ceremony. Bring gifts, et al.
Showers: Bridal, Baby, with gifts, food and games.
