yes i want everything from the sims 1 to the sims 4 in the sims 5 please
I agree and felt they could have improved on the how Sims 3 played out if they just took the time and patience. Sims 4 would have been way much better with what Sims 3 had as far as features goes old and new.

Open world would be back with various sized cities, and towns to choose from. Even a big city with sections would be better than
what we have now. The towns in Sims 4 are pathetic. We need real towns and cities back with many houses and families.
Grocery stores, work places, schools, all need to be in every town and city. I dont care if they are so called rabbit holes.
We need them back in the game.
Pattern editor as in sims 3. We should be able to change the pattern, and all colors in the patterns, of all furniture in the game.
Also change the colors of all wall paper/tile/paint. As well as all floor rugs and tiles to any color we want. A color wheel with
three boxes saving the last three colors we used. Would make it easy to decorate a room to match.
The last one is one I would love to see. A town editor.
players would be able to start with empty land. Then add in roads and lots where we wanted and make out own towns
to play our families in.
1. Need back CAW like how TS3 had (I dont make worlds but i'd download the heck out of worlds from the community )
2. basic transportation and it needs to be base game: cars, bikes/tricycles, and at least one form of public transport, whether its a bus, train, or a subway that they disappear into or something.
3. Active shopping lots to buy different things.
4. At least one active career at base game. It can be literally anything. Barista, hair stylist, waiter, teacher, shop owner, etc.

1 & 2 are basically what I would like as well. I like the graduated superiority of vehicles as you progressed in the game OR having the choice to drive yourself. I miss the bus for school kids. I like the high schoolers driving themselves to school.
As for CAW I would like the ability to set Time period and the streets and vehicles changed accordingly. There is nothing that will take you out of the game faster than inappropriately dressed Sims and modern roads and cars

---More open and less gradual systems that integrate well across packs---
Many systems are very gradual and repetitive. They should allow for more variety and cross sections between them.
Aspirations:
After a few times, it's just boring and annoying to do those same tasks over and over again. And the rewards aren't always worthwhile. There should be a variety across tasks and different ways to achieve aspirations. And it would be nice if aspiration tasks could be unlocked in different ways, as in you talk to a certain sims and then you find out about a certain aspiration goal. Like I'd prefer a variety of small aspirations goals on different levels and then an accumulation of different goals gives you rewards.
Career System
A company based career system that also allows you to work with a similar skill-set at different companies. Each company would have a management track in addition to other tracks. There are limited positions and you can apply for jobs. New packs can offer new department/jobs at existing companies or add new companies. Also a complete overhaul of freelance careers, so there's some overview.
Skill System
could be improved by allowing certain themes. Not all single skills would need to be 10, but you can move up on an entire skill theme to become a real pro. And with different combinations within themes or even across themes there's extra things to gain.
Fame System
it is repetitive and there are things from lower fame levels I hate but I do like the upper level stuff. Also, there should be more 'types of famous'. Like, there is popstar famous, but there is also politician or other career based fame where people are recognized for their work and have a following, but do not necessarily have fans watching their every move.
---More Immersion into the World:---
Unlock tasks or aspirations in the world itself. like, if you could unlock new aspirations by talking to certain sims, or harvesting a specific plant in the neighborhood.
if you could get freelance tasks from sims, stores or companies(careers)
Open World or at least Open Neighborhood.
If it is the latter, then you should still be able to hover over to the other parts of the world and click on locations there directly. The less we need to go to a map, the more we are immersed. The same with loading screens. The less we are caught on loading screens the more we can be immersed.
Companies (career lots) should be located in the world, so we can have tours there (even if they are rabbit holes), or go to a job interview
I actually like Rabbit Holes and I wish we would have more opportunities again to send our sims to experience stuff within the world, I don't need to do everything with them, it's okay if they do a tour on their own. I just want those things to be visible on the map.
more interactions within the open worlds, especially if we cannot change worlds.
Better Key Interactions
The current hotkeys are designed so NOT user friendly. I don't need keys to be assigned because the word starts with that letter.
Keys should be placed where they make sense for a fast and quick user experience. Like all navigation keys should be somewhere on the left side because we operate our mouse with the right hand (at least right handed people). We should be able to change hot keys. And we should also be able to use keys to navigate through pie menus. Like holding shift to keep the pie menu up after you clicked on something. Or a key to extend submenus of a pie menu outside the first ring
Go Deep with Packs and integrate them where logical
Some packs offer amazing things, but then are limited in their execution. Like, working as an actor at the film studio but not having a career for camera person and director. Or having NAPs to only work in one world. Having work performance tasks only set in one world. Or important BB items missing.
World Customization or thinking of world design for EPs beforehand
More opportunities to customize our own worlds. They either plan do plan for more variety of worlds or they should let us customize the worlds more.
CAS
Color sliders. Saving Outfits. The usual wishes. But also clothes to be layered and for seasons (which should be base game) summer and winter clothing should not be extra categories. But there should be winter and summer outfits for the existing categories. Like a party outfit for summer/winter. A workout outfit for summer/winter.
Food Stall Activist Group
For food stalls in each neighborhood and cool vendors who don't care for explosions

I don't know if I commented on this thread or not but my perfect Sims 5 would be. Lifestages Baby Not an Object but like babies from the Sims 2 and 3 where you can take them out of the crib, walk around be in rocking chair etc. Infant I do like how the Sims 4 introduce infants in the game so might as well have them in the franchise now. Also I liked the milestone teaching them to roll over, crawl, eat, sit up. Toddlers I just love toddlers in game and teaching them to walk, talk, sing, manners, and other skills and traits. I would also like to have strollers for all 3 Baby to Toddlers I like the animation for strolling around the neighborhood and other baby stuff like walker infants Child I would like the kids to be more playful and interact with other kids more like in the Sims 4 yeah the kids played on the playground and met each other at school but it wasn't special like I would like the playground and school interaction along with Sims 2 and 3 gameplay like playing tag, Ms. Mary Mack, Hopscotch, Play Cops and Robbers, Playing Make Believe, Playing with Dolls. Preteens Should be introduced if Sims 4 Doesn't introduced them to the franchise I always wanted preteens since Sims 2 I always thought the jump between kid to teen was weird. Preteens to me is like middle school their too old for elementary but to young for high school. They have attitudes because they are dealing with puberty at this age and really don't know how to handle early on puberty lol. Puppy love/Crushes will come into play like Sims 3. They won't be allowed to date but have crushes. Teens I love Teens especially the Sims 2 and 3 version that gameplay made them fun Sims 4 kind of not so much. But I love the sneaking out or asking permission to go out, I love going steady, they can have a bf or gf unlike Preteens who not but holds hand and hug and be crushes. Education all life stages from Teens and lower I would like Daycare for toddlers, infants, and Baby. Also I would more for kids and up like not an actual class like highschool years but like Sims 3 have education outside of the school like after school activities like Ballet, Karate, Basketball, Baseball, Cheerleader, Gymnastics, Football, Etc.
Also have special days for like pajamas day, crazy hair day, dress like someone day, twin day etc.
More to the homework like read a book or do research etc for home work. For Preteens have like school dances for Teens Prom, Senior Dutch Day, Grad Night, Graduation like I do like the prom and graduation activities for sims 4. I would like a graduation party. YA Could Stay the same Adult Could Stay the same Middle-aged Indroduce middle aged Sims to the franchise again they are too old to be adult but not to young to be an elder yet like this is the midlife crisis Lifestage to me enjoying retirement if the player choose, doing the bucket list age, going on vacation to taking care of your elderly parents. Enjoying life before being an elder. Also no more having kids. Elder I would like more elder stuff that Sims 4 lacked like canes, walkers, scooters and etc. They can be the sweet old lady or the grumpy old grandpa lol. Also have retirement homes, the golden years like Sims 4 had the golden anniversary as well. Giving candy to the grandkids, enjoying the family until they die. (Also no death with woohoo the Elders would like to have fun as well Sims 4 ruined that.)
All Sims YA and up should get a degree in college I like the realism aspect of that. I would like to have baby shower, sonogram, baby kicks, pregnancy just like before I do the Sims 4 where you can go to the hospital and see the baby born. Also Sick Sims should have the option to go to the hospital or take medicine.
Proposal and Wedding have more celebratory gameplay that the Sims 4 lacked like Sims react to some one getting engaged and options on proposal like a regular proposal surprised proposal like in sims 2 but have others react. Ask for permission to marry. Show off engagement ring, I do like the option that we picked sim of honor, flower pal, ring pal, I do like walking down the aisle, i do like the wedding ceremony but the Sims need to be more celebratory at the wedding like clapping, cheering, crying. Also wedding ring options like engagement rings when they get engaged but also engagement rings and wedding bands once they get married.
Funerals and Wills I would like funerals in game and Wills like the Sims 2 that's what Sims 4 lacked and pay respects like in Sims 3 again that Sims 4 lacked. And Have neighborhood Cemetery like in Sims 3 that Sims 4 lacked.
Cars should be early on in the game All should learn to drive teens with a permit first then take driving test all Sims should have 3 chances to take driving test and depending on how they practice should determine if they pass or not. Parties I liked how in Sims 3 you were invited to a neighborhood party I miss that very much in Sims 4.
House Party, Dinner, Kava, Keg, Baby Shower, Graduation for highschool and college, Engagement, Reception, Anniversary, Retirement, Kids Party, Cook out.
I do like the Holidays in Sims 4 talk like a pirate, lottery etc.
Section 21 - Travel & Adventures - Hotels & World Zones to Explore Part 1
Notes About Travel: This is just a list of places that would be wonderful to visit and the kinds of things that would be ideal to experience there. I will include activities and things like local flora & fauna as necessary. I will also say that I think that Rent/Purchase Vacation Homes and Hotels should be a Base Game Addition so as to present the player with the greatest flexibility to experience new zones. I assume swimming to be available in most bodies of water.
It would be best if you don't muddy the waters by combing concepts at the expense of both. Travel should be immersive, an experience for all senses. It should also be respectful of the lands, and the cultures we will be interacting with.
***Note on Vacation Homes - Once Purchased Sims get an extra week of potential vacation time.
Hotel Features
Additional Note: I consider Hotels a Foundational Feature which means I think EA should have these things in the Base Game once vacation type zones are introduced. My opinion is based upon the idea that if Hotels are a Base Game feature then the focus will be not on the Hotels with exception of fitting aesthetics for each zone but on the zone itself. I believe that if this was implemented not only the devs, but players will have a greater amount of creative freedom in each zone. For example maybe giving a hotel in a new zone a unique feature that others won't have.

France - France should be all about Amazing Fashion, Romantic Vistas, Beautiful Music, Fabulous Food, Fields of Grapes, Lavender & Sunflowers & Masterful Works of Art. It should look like everything is just warm golden light and smells good. Pretty much the inside of Martha Stewart's Head. Now hypothetically you could make a Paris-esque city with the surrounding countryside.

[*] I actually like Rabbit Holes and I wish we would have more opportunities again to send our sims to experience stuff within the world, I don't need to do everything with them, it's okay if they do a tour on their own. I just want those things to be visible on the map.
[*] more interactions within the open worlds, especially if we cannot change worlds.

“All mushrooms are edible, but some only once.” Terry Pratchett
I personally really like lot traits and the challenges too. I though they gave the different spaces some flavor. Here is a combination of one they had in sims 4 and a few I made up for place I suggested.
Trait
Aura of Ages Past - Sims feel a sense of wonder when looking at such an ancient monument. +10 to mood and gains the Ancient Awe moodlet for 4 hours. All branches of Archaeology Skill is have a 25% Gain Boost (Good for Ruins, ancient monuments, tombs)
Bracing Breezes - 50% boost to fitness and wellness skill gains. Sims receive an energized moodlet while exercising. Sims will be urged to walk the dog more and hike.
Cat Friendly - Pet cats and their owners will visit the lot.
Cat Hangout - Stray cats will visit the Lot
Celebrity Home - Strangers have restricted access until a relationship with household member is established or been invited. If one Sim in the household is rank Proper Celebrity or Global Superstar, all Sims in the household will receive a "Prestigious Living" happy moodlet. Otherwise they will sometimes get an embarrassed moodlet, being considered posers.
Chef's Kitchen - 10% boost to cooking and gourmet cooking skill gains. After preparing food, Sims will receive the "Inspired Chef" inspired moodlet that lasts for 2 hours.
Clothing Optional - Various sims will visit the lot in the nude. Underage Sims will be forced to go home. Sims with the childish, neat, squeamish, and snob trait will not get naked, however.
Convivial - 50% boost to charisma, comedy and mischief. Sims receive a confident moodlet while socializing.
Dog Friendly - Pet dogs and their owners will visit the lot.
Dog Hangout - Stray Dogs will visit the lot
Fast Internet - 50% boost to programming, video gaming and writing skill gains. Sims receive an energized moodlet while playing video games, writing, or programming.

Good Schools - 15% boost to school performance (10% for high school). 25% of child or teen Sim receiving the "Quality Education" confident moodlet after school.
Great Acoustics - 50% boost to singing, guitar, piano, violin, and DJ mixing skill gains. Sims receive an inspired moodlet while learning.
Great Soil - Increases the rate of plant growth by 10% from 7 AM to 7 PM.
Great View - Sims receive the "Fantastic View" energized moodlet when viewing an exterior-facing window.
Historical - The lot contains a plaque that cannot be moved or removed. Viewing the plaque grants the Sim the "Historical Location" inspired moodlet.
Home Office - 10% boost to all forms of Writing. Business Career Sims will get a boost when they work from home
Home Studio - 10% boost to Painting, Sculpting, Glassblowing, and Candle Making skill gains. Sims will receive craft-related whims more often, and will output significantly higher-quality crafted objects.
Homey - 50% boost to cooking, baking, mixology, handiness, and gardening skill gains. Sims will receive a happy moodlet.
Hottest Spot in Town - Prices are doubled for all buyable goods, such as food and drinks. Restaurants with this trait have a §50 fee to be seated at a table. The Starlight Accolades awards show can only take place at lounges with this trait.
Impressive Architecture - Sims appreciate the scale and detail in this incredible building. Sims will get a bonus to their mood for being in well designed space (think cathedrals, castles)
Lively Neighbors - The lot is more likely to receive disruption from neighbours. Goofball and erratic Sims will more often enter the lot uninvited.
Natural Light - 50% boost to painting and photography skill gains. Also 50% boost to handiness skill gain while woodworking. Sims receive an inspired moodlet while painting.
Natural Well - Water bills reduced at a rate of 28.57 water units per day. Drinking water grants the "Fresh Spring Water" happy moodlet.
Oceanic Paradise - Sims swimming in the ocean will find more marine life. Non-mermaid Sims can call and play with dolphin.
On a Ley Line - Magic is especially potent here. Fairies, Witches, & Fortune Tellers - Mystic Branch all get boosts to their respective skills provided they are using Good or Neutral Spells and Skills. Also boosts the chances of a Sim conceiving twins.
On a Dark Ley Line - Dark Magic is very potent here. Spriggans, Evil Witches, Fortune Tellers - Scam Artist branch and Vampires all get boosts to dark skills here. Increases the chance of a baby being born as a vampire, even if both parents are not vampires
Peace and Quiet - Sims will gain skill from books 50% faster and will relieve tension upon entering the lot.
Romantic Fireplace - The lot contains a fireplace that cannot be moved or removed. Sims within range of the fireplace receive the "Flirty Fire" flirty moodlet.
Rustic Charm - Despite its minimal or rough furnishings the cabin provides two things that busy modern Sims are looking for Quiet & Alone Time. Boost to Romantic Interactions and eases tension and stress more quickly. Social Needs decay more slowly here.
Serviced Building - Apartments in this building have a doorman who fetches the mail and walks the dog, A maid who comes weekday mornings, and a building Superintendent that fixes anything broken. HOWEVER you must meet with the Apartment's Board and impress them to be approved to live there.
Study Spot - University students, children and teens will study and do homework faster, and all Sims will receive a small boost to skill building. Can study slightly longer before getting mentally exhausted
Training Ground - Sims will gain the pet training skill faster, and have an easier time training pets as a result.
University Student Hangout - Food and drinks are 30% cheaper, and university students will visit the lot more often.
Vampire Nexus - Vampires will visit the lot more often.
Zen - Day Spas, Yoga Studios and Chinese Gardens all impart the feeling of calm and oneness. Namaste
Challenges - Simmers may assign as many challenges to a lot as they like
Bats in the Belfry - Bats will live in the attics and towers of this building. You will see them flying around and squeaking. Watch your hair.
Bear Beware - Wild Bears are attracted to this site and will break in vehicles, Cabins, or Coolers to find something tasty to eat. Bee Hives are also a target
Creepy Graveyard - After Dark a Graveyard can give you the creeps. Brave, Evil, Vampires, Werewolves during their change & Zombies all disregard this trait
Creepy Crawlies - Spiders, roaches and flies may randomly descend on Sims on the lot.
Cursed - Sims may get voodoo'd when entering the lot. Uncomfortable and tense moodlet duration will be longer, interaction that decays bladder such as drinking will decay faster, and are more likely to die from electrocution and exhaustion. The lot will also experience fire more frequently.
Down Side of Fame - Paparazzi and Obsessed Fans can sometimes lurk outside Celebrity House gates if the house has them. Obsessed Fans and sometimes go through the garbage looking for "treasure" and leave black roses.
Filthy - Objects will become dirty at double the usual rate.
Flood Zone - Torrential Rains can happen and the waters will rise high enough that Sims can become trapped at home. Drowning chance is increased by 25%
Fox in the Hen House - Wild foxes will occasionally sneak around to steal eggs from chicken coops, and attack any chickens and rabbits that are on the lot.
Gremlins - Objects will break at 12 AM, while Sims on the lot are asleep.
Grody - 33% of Sim becoming nauseous when eating, drinking, or using the toilet on a lot with this trait.

Landfill Lot - Eco Footprint move towards industrial 20% faster. Townies will dump trash and broken appliances into the lot.
Mold - Mold can generate on the lot and if left unattended Sims can die from the mold if left exposed too long
Off the Grid - Most electronics and plumbing objects will not work on the lot, apart from a select few (identified by their build buy descriptions). With Eco Lifestyle, power and water utilities can be used as long as the household produces more than it uses. Bills are discounted by 25%
Out of the Way - Restaurants, Bars & Cafes all of the added challenge of being somewhat inconvenient for the average Sim whether that be poor parking or just off the beaten path. While this is great for clandestine meetings and nefarious gatherings, not so great for business. Owners must ensure that the Food & Service is top shelf to attract customers. Will attract spies & criminal elements until rated at 3 star or better.
Rats Nest - Rats have taken up residence. You will often hear speaks and scampers and see little mouse holes. Time to get a cat
Reduce and Recycle - All trash cans and dumpsters will accumulate and need to be sorted out or sent to the garbage dump. If the trash overflows, flies and roaches will appear. Some interactions will generate recyclables, food compost, and garden compost in a Sim's inventory.
Rocky Soil - The dirt here is just a bit too dry and rocky to grow really well here. Plants need just a bit more TLC to grow
Simple Living - The household no longer receives free ingredients while cooking. All ingredients must be purchased from a grocery store, gardened, fished, or foraged. Sims who reach level 10 in the cooking skill and have cooked at least 15 meals already unlock the ability to write a cookbook. Reading a cookbook makes other Sims level up in the cooking skill much faster than normal.
Spooky - At 10:30 PM, a ghost will appear on the lot and all Sims (Except Brave, Paranormal Researchers, Vampires and Ghost Residents) get a scared moodlet. More ghosts will appear on a Haunted House Residential or Haunted Hotel lot.
Tornado Alley - Beware Lots in this area can experience these funnel clouds of destruction. Significant property damage can happen if one touches down on the property. Better have a basement to retreat for Sims & Pets safety.
Quake Zone - The lot will randomly experience mild earthquakes, causing Sims to become scared.
Volcanic Activity - Similar to the "Quake Zone" challenge, small and large volcanic eruptions will happen randomly. During an eruption, the ground shakes, some objects break, and lava bombs will rain onto the lot. Sims can touch the bombs (risking dying by fire) or wait for it to cool. Steam vents from cracks on the ground can also happen.

“All mushrooms are edible, but some only once.” Terry Pratchett
Section 23 - Moodlets I either love the name or the effect
Not going to put down every moodlet ever just the ones I particularly like. Also a few I came up with
Activities
Cuddle Time - Teddy bears make excellent sleeping companions. Babies, toddlers, children, and Childish Sims receive this by sleeping with a teddy bear in their inventory
Ducky, Your the One - Rubber Duckies make hygienic cleansing fun!Buy a "Ducksworth of Bathington" in the grocery shop, place it on the tub and take a bath. Moodlet is NOT eliminated if Sim has Hydrophobic trait.
Fairest of Them All - Admiring self in the magic mirror
Fight the Power - Keepin' the man off your back never felt so good. Sock it to him!
Having A Midlife Crisis - A midlife crisis? No... this can't be! Why, it seemed like just last week that (Sim Name) was still getting a student discount at the movies on his/her looks alone. If you fight to recapture your youth, you can still cling to it, right?? (Sim Name) has completed X midlife crisis wishes.
Ouch! My Face - High enough snake charming would reduce the chance to get bit by the King Cobra.
Polar Bear Club - Swimming in icy waters has earned (Sim Name) an honorary membership to the Polar Bear Club! Members have shown a strong immunity to the cold.
Rebel Ride - Nothing can stick it to the man louder than a ride on the steel horse!
Rocking Out - Rocking in rocking chair
Snake Kiss - After having level 5 of Snake Charming hidden skill, players can upgrade to King Cobra. A kiss from King Cobra gives +35 mood and cures Mummy's Curse.
Snuck Out - The adrenaline! The fear! You better stay on the down-low or your fanny will be on the line.
Submarine Adventure - Aquatic adventures turn boring bath time into ultra-fun times! There are so many imaginary new species to discover under the sea. Appears when children playing imaginary submarine in tub
Wax on, Wax Off - (Sim's Name) has just finished giving the final polish to their car. The vehicle just glints in the sun but boy is that shoulder sore
Writer's Block - You've hit the wall... hard. Take a break, relax, and those creative juices will start flowing again. Tense
Bladder
Gambled & Lost - Mmm... well this is embarrassing... (Sim Name) tried to fart while his/her bladder was low and... uh... hmm... an accident happened.
Left Cheek Sneak - Farted and no one heard
Secretly Relieved - Peed self in Pool. Bathroom emergencies can be horrifically embarrassing... that is, unless you are already immersed in lukewarm liquid.
Warm Wetsuit - Peeing Self while Scuba Diving. The sudden underwater scare has given your Sim a warm and uncomfortable feeling.
Day Spa
Chipped Nails - Broken Nails and Chipped means its time to visit the Spa for a Manicure
Clean, Close Shave - (Sim Name) just got a hot towel shave and is loving the feel of baby soft skin
Cracked Heels - Ow! Being on your feet so long has given you some painfully dry, cracked heels. Time for a Pedicure.
Finding Nirvana - (Sim Name) is now happy that many years ago, someone decided to poke needles in their back to see what happened. Spa Treatment - Acupuncture
Hot Stones - That felt more like hot coals than hot stones! Massage - Hot Stone
Loose and Limber - Massage a little to the left...a little higher...right there! Ahhhhhh! Massage Type - Deep Tissue
Nice Nails - It's foolish not to focus on the nails from time to time. There's nothing quite like crisp cuticles!
Pebble Prepped - Smooth. Warm. Relaxing. That is a combination that (Sim Name) could get used to! Massage - Hot Stone
Relaxed - Sims love the rhythmic pounding of well-trained hands on the overly tense muscles of the body. So relaxing! Massage Type - Swedish
Smooth Skin - Fabulous facial clears the pores and brings a glow to the recently smoothed skin that's rather refreshing.
Wispy Whiskers - Oh no! Time to get to the Spa for a Wax. Only kitties should have whiskers!
Environment, Temperature & Weather
Ahhh Brisk! - (Sim's Name) has decided to streak in winter. They have no time for your primitive notions of modesty.
Central Heating - Thermostat set to warmer during cold weather. Coming in from the cold feels extra toasty!
Morgue-like - Who puts the air conditioning on when it's this cold outside?! The cold indoor temperature may cause the Chilled moodlet to appear.
Nope! Nope! Nope! - Could've used spider repellent. Could've outsmarted the spiders using logic. Coulda woulda shoulda. Being bitten by a spider carries the chance of also being poisoned.
Refreshing Air Conditioning - Thermostat set to cooler during hot weather
Sweltering - Thermostat set to warmer during hot weather. The hot indoor temperature may cause the overheating moodlet to appear
That Was Too Close… - (Sim Name) narrowly avoided being struck by lightning! Staying outside in a thunderstorm could be very dangerous…
Vampire Bat Attack - Being a plasma source for bats is not cool. Not cool at all. +25% chance of becoming a Vampire.
What Am I Doing Out Here?! - (Sim Name) is caught outside in a terrifying thunderstorm/crippling blizzard!
Events
Holiday Cheer - (Sim Name) is feeling the spirit of the season! he/she's ready for a little peace on earth and goodwill toward Sims. Appears all day during Snowflake Day. No School or Work
Spooky Time - Spooky Day is a time for both tricks and treats... but right now (Sim Name) is mostly thinking about the tricks! Appears all day during Spooky Day. Bonus to Mood if a costume party is planned
Hunger
Ate Pet Food! - (Sim Name) ate pet food. It wasn't amazing. (Toddler Only)
Coffee Breath - That raw Coffee Bean was delicious, but now (Sim Name)'s breath smells like stale coffee beans. Socialization with Sim with this moodlet gives to another Sims moodlet "Disgusted" Sims can also get this moodlet from drinking more than three cups of coffee in a row
Freshly Popped - There is just something wonderful about freshly popped popcorn. Eating popcorn from the popcorn machine. Eating microwave popcorn does not give this moodlet.
Garlic Breath - Whoa! It might be time to scrub away that garlic with a toothbrush. Other Sims gain the disgusted moodlet when using social interactions with them. Can badly affect social. Vampires get the Knocked Out moodlet when they eat garlic.
Hungry Like the Wolf - There's hungry, and there's hungry like the wolf. "Like the wolf" in this case means "with little disregard to the food's age or quality."
Hunger Striking - (Sim Name) is enduring some serious hunger for a good cause. Only appears during a protest
Mmmmm, Marshmallow - Nothing better than golden-brown, perfectly toasted marshmallows!
Mmmmmmm, S'more - The perfect combination of marshmallow, chocolate, and graham crackers. Yum!
Occults
Vampire Moodlets Turning Moodlets
Unusual Blemish - A painless blemish that resembles two circular points is on your skin. Perhaps this is the reason you feel so... odd? (Vampire)
Strangely Hungry - Sim's Hunger need will decrease faster while this moodlet is active. (Vampire)
Disgusted by Food - All of this food tastes awful... What is happening? This can't be good. (Vampire)
Appetite Lost! - Sim's Hunger need will decrease very quickly while this moodlet is active. Sim will not be able to gain any moodlets related to eating food until transformation is complete.
Strange Thirst - Thirst will drain faster while this moodlet is active. Also appears when young Vampires become Teens.
After Becoming a Vampire
Bat Fight! - The two Vampire engaged in fisticuffs in Bat Form
Devoted Disciple - Sim feels uncommonly Loyal to this pale person they recently met.
Dead But Delicious - Vain Vamp feeling cute wearing fancy clothing
Feeding from the Fae - Drinking from a Fairy gave (Sim Name) a buzz and a half
Madly Thirsty - Vampires with a manic thirst are no longer able to think clearly. Dangerous and near death, Madly Thirsty Vampires are closer to animals than Sims.
Slept Like The Dead - Vampires enjoy sleeping deeply, which is a fair trade off for the lack of a pulse.
Victorious Vamp - Won a fight against a Werewolf
Werewolves
Lycan Loser - Lost a Fight against a Vampire
Once Bitten, Twice Shy - Ever since that bite, things have been... strange. Deep in your subconscious is a primal urgency growing in strength by the minute. It's distracting, and a little nauseating! (Werewolf)
Painful Bite - Being Bitten by a Werewolf. Does this look infected to you?
Smells like Vampire - Ugh, is there a walking corpse nearby?
We're Werewolves, Not Swear-Wolves! - Sim feels embarrassed by saying something rude in front of their pack
What Happened?! Where am I?! - What just happened to me? Where did I run off to? I have so many questions. Is this what being a Werewolf is like? Appears after a Sim has recovered from their first Werewolf transformation and rampage.
Winner Wolf - Take that, plasma-drinker! The night belongs to us!
In this thread we watch a simmer’s magnum opus be constructed.
To tell the truth I mostly wrote this out of half hope that it would be noticed and appreciated and maybe acted on. Half out of boredom because my spouse has a job where he lives in a different city for work for 8–9 days at a time and is only home a few days. Better engaged in a creative pursuit after work than watching too much TV or gaming for hours. I've actually had a lot of fun doing research.
“All mushrooms are edible, but some only once.” Terry Pratchett
Also I just hope for little details to be implemented back into not only the game itself, but with the neighborhoods or world around the sims (whichever parts are open). Like I saw above a photo with a postcard rack? That would be really awesome to have shops for tourism or local giftshops with that rack to purchase diff postcards and you can have your sim send it to a loved one via a local mailbox in the world, and not only from their home lot. Especially if they are traveling and vacaying in a different world. Little details are what make The Sims games come alive, and i miss it, TS4 really let down in this department.
I have what everyone is putting these are all amazing ideals I don’t know what to add… Ok I do but it’s not much
Give teen sims their own heights back if that hasn’t already been said. I miss the lore of the prior games, also move forward not back.
I miss open worlds and I feel they could be implemented now, also we better have the gallery or something better. We shouldn’t have to give up a feature to get a new one.
I want traits and personality points.
Most of all I want the games to work when they come out. I also want the creators to be upfront with us if they can’t give us something to tell us now.
I’d love to be able to choose hair type for my hairstyle.
Give us what we pay for if I pay for an expansion that’s what I get
how about sims going on cruise vaction and my perfect sims5 game is like all of the above minus in my case as a player supernaturals and the multiplayer part since i am a single offline player
If you went the sims5 to remain offline feel free to sign this petition http://chng.it/gtfHPhHK please note that it is also to keep the gallery
how about sims going on cruise vaction and my perfect sims5 game is like all of the above minus in my case as a player supernaturals and the multiplayer part since i am a single offline player
A cruise vacation expansion back is very unique and interesting! I would enjoy that. There are many different types of cruises though.
Would you prefer more one of those family-friendly kid cruises like Disney/Carnival or more adult-only luxury yacht cruises?

I agree and felt they could have improved on the how Sims 3 played out if they just took the time and patience. Sims 4 would have been way much better with what Sims 3 had as far as features goes old and new.
Everyday Home Service Providers

Open world would be back with various sized cities, and towns to choose from. Even a big city with sections would be better than
what we have now. The towns in Sims 4 are pathetic. We need real towns and cities back with many houses and families.
Grocery stores, work places, schools, all need to be in every town and city. I dont care if they are so called rabbit holes.
We need them back in the game.
Pattern editor as in sims 3. We should be able to change the pattern, and all colors in the patterns, of all furniture in the game.
Also change the colors of all wall paper/tile/paint. As well as all floor rugs and tiles to any color we want. A color wheel with
three boxes saving the last three colors we used. Would make it easy to decorate a room to match.
The last one is one I would love to see. A town editor.
players would be able to start with empty land. Then add in roads and lots where we wanted and make out own towns
to play our families in.
2. basic transportation and it needs to be base game: cars, bikes/tricycles, and at least one form of public transport, whether its a bus, train, or a subway that they disappear into or something.
3. Active shopping lots to buy different things.
4. At least one active career at base game. It can be literally anything. Barista, hair stylist, waiter, teacher, shop owner, etc.
1 & 2 are basically what I would like as well. I like the graduated superiority of vehicles as you progressed in the game OR having the choice to drive yourself. I miss the bus for school kids. I like the high schoolers driving themselves to school.
As for CAW I would like the ability to set Time period and the streets and vehicles changed accordingly. There is nothing that will take you out of the game faster than inappropriately dressed Sims and modern roads and cars
Many systems are very gradual and repetitive. They should allow for more variety and cross sections between them.
After a few times, it's just boring and annoying to do those same tasks over and over again. And the rewards aren't always worthwhile. There should be a variety across tasks and different ways to achieve aspirations. And it would be nice if aspiration tasks could be unlocked in different ways, as in you talk to a certain sims and then you find out about a certain aspiration goal. Like I'd prefer a variety of small aspirations goals on different levels and then an accumulation of different goals gives you rewards.
A company based career system that also allows you to work with a similar skill-set at different companies. Each company would have a management track in addition to other tracks. There are limited positions and you can apply for jobs. New packs can offer new department/jobs at existing companies or add new companies. Also a complete overhaul of freelance careers, so there's some overview.
could be improved by allowing certain themes. Not all single skills would need to be 10, but you can move up on an entire skill theme to become a real pro. And with different combinations within themes or even across themes there's extra things to gain.
it is repetitive and there are things from lower fame levels I hate but I do like the upper level stuff. Also, there should be more 'types of famous'. Like, there is popstar famous, but there is also politician or other career based fame where people are recognized for their work and have a following, but do not necessarily have fans watching their every move.
---More Immersion into the World:---
If it is the latter, then you should still be able to hover over to the other parts of the world and click on locations there directly. The less we need to go to a map, the more we are immersed. The same with loading screens. The less we are caught on loading screens the more we can be immersed.
Better Key Interactions
The current hotkeys are designed so NOT user friendly. I don't need keys to be assigned because the word starts with that letter.
Keys should be placed where they make sense for a fast and quick user experience. Like all navigation keys should be somewhere on the left side because we operate our mouse with the right hand (at least right handed people). We should be able to change hot keys. And we should also be able to use keys to navigate through pie menus. Like holding shift to keep the pie menu up after you clicked on something. Or a key to extend submenus of a pie menu outside the first ring
Go Deep with Packs and integrate them where logical
Some packs offer amazing things, but then are limited in their execution. Like, working as an actor at the film studio but not having a career for camera person and director. Or having NAPs to only work in one world. Having work performance tasks only set in one world. Or important BB items missing.
World Customization or thinking of world design for EPs beforehand
More opportunities to customize our own worlds. They either plan do plan for more variety of worlds or they should let us customize the worlds more.
CAS
Color sliders. Saving Outfits. The usual wishes. But also clothes to be layered and for seasons (which should be base game) summer and winter clothing should not be extra categories. But there should be winter and summer outfits for the existing categories. Like a party outfit for summer/winter. A workout outfit for summer/winter.
Upgrades - Most of these were pulled from Sims 4, which I though did an excellent job of using Upgrades. I added a few of my own but they are mostly obvious choices.
Lifestages
Baby Not an Object but like babies from the Sims 2 and 3 where you can take them out of the crib, walk around be in rocking chair etc.
Infant I do like how the Sims 4 introduce infants in the game so might as well have them in the franchise now. Also I liked the milestone teaching them to roll over, crawl, eat, sit up.
Toddlers I just love toddlers in game and teaching them to walk, talk, sing, manners, and other skills and traits.
I would also like to have strollers for all 3 Baby to Toddlers I like the animation for strolling around the neighborhood and other baby stuff like walker infants
Child I would like the kids to be more playful and interact with other kids more like in the Sims 4 yeah the kids played on the playground and met each other at school but it wasn't special like I would like the playground and school interaction along with Sims 2 and 3 gameplay like playing tag, Ms. Mary Mack, Hopscotch, Play Cops and Robbers, Playing Make Believe, Playing with Dolls.
Preteens Should be introduced if Sims 4 Doesn't introduced them to the franchise I always wanted preteens since Sims 2 I always thought the jump between kid to teen was weird. Preteens to me is like middle school their too old for elementary but to young for high school. They have attitudes because they are dealing with puberty at this age and really don't know how to handle early on puberty lol. Puppy love/Crushes will come into play like Sims 3. They won't be allowed to date but have crushes.
Teens I love Teens especially the Sims 2 and 3 version that gameplay made them fun Sims 4 kind of not so much. But I love the sneaking out or asking permission to go out, I love going steady, they can have a bf or gf unlike Preteens who not but holds hand and hug and be crushes.
Education all life stages from Teens and lower I would like Daycare for toddlers, infants, and Baby. Also I would more for kids and up like not an actual class like highschool years but like Sims 3 have education outside of the school like after school activities like Ballet, Karate, Basketball, Baseball, Cheerleader, Gymnastics, Football, Etc.
Also have special days for like pajamas day, crazy hair day, dress like someone day, twin day etc.
More to the homework like read a book or do research etc for home work. For Preteens have like school dances for Teens Prom, Senior Dutch Day, Grad Night, Graduation like I do like the prom and graduation activities for sims 4. I would like a graduation party.
YA Could Stay the same
Adult Could Stay the same
Middle-aged Indroduce middle aged Sims to the franchise again they are too old to be adult but not to young to be an elder yet like this is the midlife crisis Lifestage to me enjoying retirement if the player choose, doing the bucket list age, going on vacation to taking care of your elderly parents. Enjoying life before being an elder. Also no more having kids.
Elder I would like more elder stuff that Sims 4 lacked like canes, walkers, scooters and etc. They can be the sweet old lady or the grumpy old grandpa lol. Also have retirement homes, the golden years like Sims 4 had the golden anniversary as well. Giving candy to the grandkids, enjoying the family until they die. (Also no death with woohoo the Elders would like to have fun as well Sims 4 ruined that.)
All Sims YA and up should get a degree in college I like the realism aspect of that. I would like to have baby shower, sonogram, baby kicks, pregnancy just like before I do the Sims 4 where you can go to the hospital and see the baby born. Also Sick Sims should have the option to go to the hospital or take medicine.
Proposal and Wedding have more celebratory gameplay that the Sims 4 lacked like Sims react to some one getting engaged and options on proposal like a regular proposal surprised proposal like in sims 2 but have others react. Ask for permission to marry. Show off engagement ring, I do like the option that we picked sim of honor, flower pal, ring pal, I do like walking down the aisle, i do like the wedding ceremony but the Sims need to be more celebratory at the wedding like clapping, cheering, crying. Also wedding ring options like engagement rings when they get engaged but also engagement rings and wedding bands once they get married.
Funerals and Wills I would like funerals in game and Wills like the Sims 2 that's what Sims 4 lacked and pay respects like in Sims 3 again that Sims 4 lacked. And Have neighborhood Cemetery like in Sims 3 that Sims 4 lacked.
Cars should be early on in the game All should learn to drive teens with a permit first then take driving test all Sims should have 3 chances to take driving test and depending on how they practice should determine if they pass or not.
Parties I liked how in Sims 3 you were invited to a neighborhood party I miss that very much in Sims 4.
House Party, Dinner, Kava, Keg, Baby Shower, Graduation for highschool and college, Engagement, Reception, Anniversary, Retirement, Kids Party, Cook out.
I do like the Holidays in Sims 4 talk like a pirate, lottery etc.
Notes About Travel: This is just a list of places that would be wonderful to visit and the kinds of things that would be ideal to experience there. I will include activities and things like local flora & fauna as necessary. I will also say that I think that Rent/Purchase Vacation Homes and Hotels should be a Base Game Addition so as to present the player with the greatest flexibility to experience new zones. I assume swimming to be available in most bodies of water.
It would be best if you don't muddy the waters by combing concepts at the expense of both. Travel should be immersive, an experience for all senses. It should also be respectful of the lands, and the cultures we will be interacting with.
***Note on Vacation Homes - Once Purchased Sims get an extra week of potential vacation time.
Hotel Features
Additional Note: I consider Hotels a Foundational Feature which means I think EA should have these things in the Base Game once vacation type zones are introduced. My opinion is based upon the idea that if Hotels are a Base Game feature then the focus will be not on the Hotels with exception of fitting aesthetics for each zone but on the zone itself. I believe that if this was implemented not only the devs, but players will have a greater amount of creative freedom in each zone. For example maybe giving a hotel in a new zone a unique feature that others won't have.
Special Hotel Features
Note to give a degree of realism to travel Sims will have to first go to the Town Hall/Courthouse to apply for their Passport. If you click on the Passport it will show the Sims information on the first page and the subsequent pages after will have stamps for every International place visited.
***Note If a Sim owns a vacation home AND their vacation time runs out they can choose the option "Work From Home" for these careers:
Basic Hotel Build/Buy Items
Room Service Menu - I consulted the Room Service Dining Menu of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, also the Ritz-Carlton in London
Breakfast
Juicing Machine - Many Luxury Resort Hotels Have fresh juices served for their Continental Breakfast or Breakfast Buffets. This is a great way to introduce back into the game a popular request. The Juicer can even be purchased for home use.
Lunch
Soups
Salads
Sandwiches
High Tea
Tea Sandwiches
Dinner
Souvenirs
I personally think that souvenirs should be a combination of kitschy things and products made in the areas they are representing. For example:
The Destinations
Amusement Park/Circus - I went over this thoroughly already but I'll list the highlights
Camping Area - Mountainous Woods
Casino - Modeled after Las Vegas & Monte Carlo
[img][/img]
Ski Chalet - Inspired by Interlaken or St. Moritz, Switzerland
Features
Activities
Egypt
Features
Front
Indoor Pool
Lobby
Piano Bar

Attendant
Activities
Island Zones - Modeled after Hawaii & Polynesia & the Caribbean, specifically Jamaica & Haiti
**Note - You will notice that I repeat some activities with either zone. This is because I want both zones to have a tiny bit of overlap just in case some Simmmers don't want both zones but still giving each zone a unique identity.

France - France should be all about Amazing Fashion, Romantic Vistas, Beautiful Music, Fabulous Food, Fields of Grapes, Lavender & Sunflowers & Masterful Works of Art. It should look like everything is just warm golden light and smells good. Pretty much the inside of Martha Stewart's Head. Now hypothetically you could make a Paris-esque city with the surrounding countryside.
Features
New Career
Activities
Tour of Italy - Basically all of the coolest things about Italy as a mashup similar to the Sims 3 World Adventures style map version. It gives an over arching experience of Italy. Also having multiple zone choices with repeats of some skills or experiences isn't a bad thing IF you give new designs or "freshen" the experience.

I actually don't mind the rabbit holes in a limited way.
Section 21 - Rabbit Holes VS Open Lots
Places I don't mind rabbit holes in
I will never like Rabbit holes for:
I personally really like lot traits and the challenges too. I though they gave the different spaces some flavor. Here is a combination of one they had in sims 4 and a few I made up for place I suggested.
Trait
Challenges - Simmers may assign as many challenges to a lot as they like
Not going to put down every moodlet ever just the ones I particularly like. Also a few I came up with
Activities
Bladder
Day Spa
Environment, Temperature & Weather
Events
Hunger
Occults
Vampire Moodlets
Turning Moodlets
- Unusual Blemish - A painless blemish that resembles two circular points is on your skin. Perhaps this is the reason you feel so... odd? (Vampire)
- Strangely Hungry - Sim's Hunger need will decrease faster while this moodlet is active. (Vampire)
- Disgusted by Food - All of this food tastes awful... What is happening? This can't be good. (Vampire)
- Appetite Lost! - Sim's Hunger need will decrease very quickly while this moodlet is active. Sim will not be able to gain any moodlets related to eating food until transformation is complete.
- Strange Thirst - Thirst will drain faster while this moodlet is active. Also appears when young Vampires become Teens.
After Becoming a VampireWerewolves
Romance
To tell the truth I mostly wrote this out of half hope that it would be noticed and appreciated and maybe acted on. Half out of boredom because my spouse has a job where he lives in a different city for work for 8–9 days at a time and is only home a few days. Better engaged in a creative pursuit after work than watching too much TV or gaming for hours. I've actually had a lot of fun doing research.
Give teen sims their own heights back if that hasn’t already been said. I miss the lore of the prior games, also move forward not back.
I miss open worlds and I feel they could be implemented now, also we better have the gallery or something better. We shouldn’t have to give up a feature to get a new one.
I want traits and personality points.
Most of all I want the games to work when they come out. I also want the creators to be upfront with us if they can’t give us something to tell us now.
I’d love to be able to choose hair type for my hairstyle.
Give us what we pay for if I pay for an expansion that’s what I get
