Just like the new object thread, what new interactions do you want?
I was going through old pics from TS2 and TS3 the other day and I found so many happy memories from seeing the interactions. I'd like to start by saying I'd like some of these back...especially interactions for kids. They're so lacking in TS4.
I wish
Parent able to spin the kids around
Martial arts but enabled for children, too
Toddlers playing peekaboo together
Pillow fights
Clappy hands
Punch you punch me
OMG...this!
Actually using the register and carrying a bag
Catching flying bugs
Can this be done? I'm not sure
And honorable mentions without pics...
Mary mack
Cops and robbers
Jump rope
Ballet bar
Pick baby up in the air and have them puke on you randomly
Adults cuddle when waking up
Run up and down the stairs
Teens hang off the fridge door
Forgot about TAG!
Also window washing

One interaction that I would like is "what's wrong?" it would work the same as the interaction when you ask a pet what's wrong but you ask a sim and then the sim responds depending on their needs and moodlets. That way you could find out if the sim is hungry or need to use the bathroom or if the sim is angry or tense about something for example.
Some other interactions I would like:
Slow dancing.
Cuddling in bed.
More friendly interactions, like "did you sleep well?" or "is something on your mind?" which could have different responses depending on how the sim is feeling.
More romantic interactions. Like holding hands. If you form a group and you have a romantic relationship with one sim then maybe they could hold hands together when they are walking.
Play chase (for all ages, pets included)
Slow dance
More romantic interactions in general (with distinct animations)
I also like wandering the hills.
These kind of details are what makes the game special. I’d say even half of those mentioned by OP will make simmers who are into family gameplay a lot happier.
I always liked the canes for elders, except they should be available for ages teen+ if they don’t want to deal with different heights. Love the gaits and perhaps there could be an option to hit another sim with the cane. In a kinda friendly way of course. Not too extreme. Or just swinging the cane at others will do. Didn’t Crumplebottom hit other sims with her purse?
Also hopscotch and perhaps jumping on a trampoline together.
Most definitely! This is why I still have to go back and play TS2 so I can get my family gameplay the way I really like it. And why I have to try and mod TS4 so I can have some semblance of the gameplay I like. I'm currently learning to animate just so I can start making my own interactions for the game.
i agree with you! i loved seeing my parents play with their kids. and kids playing with each other. i also miss couples cuddling in bed.. and the best part actually sleeping after woohoo/try for baby!

I also quite loved when it was rejected!
I didn't know this was a thing until a few years ago. Surprisingly, the party trait didn't randomize often.
Yes! I miss these things so much. I really miss seeing kids play together. The TS4 kids seem so unnatural because they play alone or talk unless there is a dollhouse. And I miss the intimacy for their parents. The cuddle in bed was so awesome. I remember when they added it in TS2 and how excited I was over it. I really do hope we get at least some of this stuff in the future.
If you are using mods - you can use interactions from the past for this feature. It's hilarious.
I want jump rope
Pillow fights
Children playing cops and robbers
Play pretend for driving and all others they were doing in TS3 generations like astronaut or T-Rex
Cans animations for elders
More romantic interactions as well
Thank you for mentioning this! I can't wait to check it out!
I want:
slow dancing
ballet
drumming
taking babies to other lots in strollers
In a simmish way...maybe instead of the middle finger it's the pinkie finger.
It's what I'd like to tell those scam callers.
And while many of the things I want to see has been covered, I'd like to add:
- Occult dueling cross-over. Spellcaster would be able to duel any other Occult, though only the Vampire stand to gain power from winning. Vampires using dark energy, Mermaids using water jetstreams, aliens would use electrical beams from a laser. If they ever add Fairies and Werewolves, the Fairy would use a sunbeam, and the Werewolf would "block" the beam with its claw until it gets knocked down or it unleashes a roar that sends the caster stumbling.
- Ocean WooHoo and birth in water. My romantic Mermaid Sims are creatures of the ocean. Their baby will not be born on land.
- Piggybacking. Adults and young adults can carry anyone. Elders can carry children and toddlers. Teens can carry other teens, children and toddlers.
- The power of the cane. I want my elder Sim to be allowed to whack his useless adult son over the head when the latter misbehaves towards his family.
Probably so many more I will come up with in a year or two, but this will have to do.
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.
One small thing that never failed to make me laugh was when a sim didn't want to listen to someone and they'd put their fingers in their ears and do the simlish for 'la la la'
I always wanted sims to be able to walk holding hands with another adult or child, but I remember a guru in TS3 saying how hard that would be.
I would like to see toddlers and kids able to have cuddles or a story or just watch TV while sitting on someone's lap.
I'd like sitting around on the floor to come back, and using a laptop on the floor.
Also, the sketch book. And manual book writing for sims who don't have a computer. They could get hand cramp if they wrote for too long.
Bikes for kids and toddlers.

Um...how the heck were those made?! They're pretty darn awesome. I love the dance and talk one. Looks super natural.
