Yeah omg! ... stop ignoring the bugs and stop trying to change/add things to a broken game. The Guru's are listening, remember!
Wanting new content at this point, is coming from people who just accept them and sweep them under a rug. People wanted ghosts so we got ghosts and no fix for rotational play or the romance system. We just got more broken stuff. The same with pools and careers.
Toddlers need faithful parents!

Yeah, how often people forget they asked for most of this stuff that's in Sims 4, but are now complaining about it.
But yes, we need to fix what we already have before adding more!
The Guru's are reading our comments, people have to realize they're limited in what they can say. It's just like chatting or calling customer service reps of any company, you can't ask whatever you want and expect a detailed answer. They usually have fixed answers, and can't give any details until an official announcement or a problem is solved and they can actually for sure say it was worked on and fixed..
Yeah omg! ... stop ignoring the bugs and stop trying to change/add things to a broken game. The Guru's are listening, remember!
Yeah, thats not really going to happen. Did they ever fix the bugs in Sims3? No ... mods had to do it.
This isn't pertaining to what you just wrote but it's about your signature. I really hope they add in hospitals, and maybe a medical career..I was so 🐸🐸🐸🐸 when they took that out.
That's actually a point I missed on my list. @FusionFang7 add Medical Careers/Hospital to your list? I think that's kinda major.
I'm not ignoring the bugs, per se. I just think having the entire forum focus on them for days on end is unproductive. The bugs need to be fixed, and features need to be added to make this a good game.
Even if this game was bug-free, it still would be flawed in the eyes of many players

I do hope when/if they do add in hospitals, they add in the ability of a pregnant sim to go to said rabbithole hospital for a sonogram. Get info on the sex of the baby and if it was multiple.
The only way I would consider buying this is with the following:
1. Get rid of the linear goal oriented play, or at least the option to opt out of it
2. Fully fleshed out toddlers (which I would not pay for, patch away or put it up as free DLC)
3. Unchain the babies from their bassinets
4. Family tree
5. Story progression
6. Bigger neighborhoods
7. Loading screens between neighborhoods only, no lot to lot
8. Unlock common items from buy mode, career rewards should be separate and special items for that career
9. NPC's police, firemen ect.
10. Graves even if they die off lot, and a cemetery
And for the love of pete fix the bugs!!!
I'll stop there, the rest I could get later.
It will never happen, but hey it's fun making lists!

Omg that'd be awesome. Adding that to my want list. c:
Off topic, but this thread is now an announcement.
Thats good ^^
Well back to Topic.
I also want to see NPCs back such as Burglar, Cops, Firefighter, Newspaper.
Stores to Shop such as Grocery Store and please no more Rabbit Holes, you know nothing like them from Sims 3.
If its possible open the zones so that we don't need to load every house only for the zone.
And i still want the Terrain Tool to edit my terrain more.
This is really needed in the list.
Everything is only Sims 2 Base Content
But please add some of those things back, without them i just feel the Game incomplete.
But i understand that not everything will be included in the Base Game.
well here my list:
first of all things: fix all the broken things:
refrigerator
game freezing
some random times relationships get broken
fix a issue with teen romance when you make a promisse the relationship get broken from date
fix all the knowed issues
now what i want, basically:
delete that crap story progression and make a real story progression without fake relationships and all that stupid fake cheats.
better sims AI i want sims which actually stay true to their traits, true to their relationships, true to their jobs, to their axpirations, true to what their are and not just robotic sims who make almost the samething over and over
a world editor
more lots at last 2 cities with 60 lots each, with 20 lots for venues
policeman to walk in streets and security guard to places like library and museum,
new public places, like cinema, lan house, arcades, restaurants, teathers. shops, cemitery, drugstore, hospital, church
OPEN WORLD or at last load the neighborhood not just our house and the street
more peoples inside the public lots, specially night clubs and bars, or the amount of peoples being based on the size of the place
increase the population cap to at last 300, the household to 10 and peoples walking around/insite public places to at last 20 with more based on the size of the lots in the neighborhood.
more different types of toys to the parks for children( where's the swing, seesaw and slide)
reduce the amount of stalkers come to my house(have a mod for that but i want a oficial fix for this)
better control over random generated sims, dont allow the game use CC, when the generator use it make really horrible things, like i have many cosplays ccs(wolverine, cammy, chun-li) and see sims random sims with their hair or cloths is weird.
dont allow the generator reach the cap of generated sims and start to delete important sims and leave unwanted ghosts
when a sim die if is a controled have a option to send him to the cemitery if is a random sim send him to the cemitery.
well i want all the interactions in the last trailer with real life peoples since none of tha things we have in game, and some more interactions, specially for romance.
for relationship:
when in a teen couple if a teen age first than the other their can keep their romance
options to enable/disable romance between cousins and same sex - (i'm not fan of same sex relationship and i know many peoples not fan of cousins romance, then a option for all can have or not what their want.
about family
toddles
pre-teens
more trees like: half-brother/sister, true step sister/mother/brother/father, grandfather uncle, great-grandfather/mother, great-great-grandfather/mother
when marry option to choose change the surname of the wife or the husband to the other surname
have a priest to make marriage (i'm not asking for religion, just a npc to make the marriage more "real". http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/13136253/#Comment_13136253
well this show how finally their are open their eyes and accepting who tise game is really "broken and wrong" and need a fix and important changes.
Mostly posting to say I do believe open neighborhoods(not worlds) actually CAN be done with the Sims 4 without redoing the entire game.
Houses already render all objects inside of them and even have radios and tvs playing when you zoom in close to a window where one is located. (Rendering inside is from what gurus said "determined by your personal settings" but this just shows that it's already working)
So what other known issues are there? They claim that the more open lots you have (atm just one) the less sims that will spawn to walk around the neighborhood. Now, that problem is one that they created but it's not unchangeable. The game only spawns up to 20 unplayed sims in an area at a time. This is a limit that is set in the code but that can be changed. You can even use cheats (not mods) to increase household members to 200 and have them use the neighborhood. (Of course, that's far too many - it's just to prove a point).
The excuse used is that open neighborhoods will affect the amount of people walking around a neighborhood and performance. Add options for users to set how many sims will use a neighborhood, house rendering, and let us determine how many people are living on our lots and I don't think this will be an issue.
(If someone has more proof of why open neighborhoods (not worlds) can't be possible, please do share. Other wise I don't see why this can't be added to this list of what players want. At the end of the day we don't work at EA, so let them decide. They should at least know that it's something that a great amount of players want.)
**So what do I want from the Sims 4? 1.)Open neighborhoods - not open world, but open neighborhoods. The ability to freely visit neighbors or places (museum,club,library, ect) without a loading screen. 2.)Baby Sitters (npcs that come to the house while your sim is there) 3.)Teen jobs for YA,A,E (meaning everyone can get those part time jobs) 4.)More ethnic hair styles 5.)Restaurants 6.)Arcade (Or just a lot type for teens to hang out/more teen activities) 7.)Toddlers 8.)The ability to at least change/choose baby clothes 9.)Basements and attics 10.)Game systems 11.)Family Trees 12.)More family tags available/in cas (cousins,step sibilings, step parents, ect) 13.More traits - not necessarily more trait spots. 14.)Handiness / botanist / fishing careers and/or more profitable ways to make money from these skills from home. 15.)More woodworking objects to craft 16.)More options with Sim toys (dialogue) 17.)Ability to feed and clean tanks of frogs,fish, aliens 18.)Add ability to stop sim creation for townies (No more game generated townies) - Make mandatory sim slots for bartenders, maids, mailmen ect that won't be deleted but can be edited.
Anything more I think is fine (for me) to come out in an expansion, stuff pack, or game pack. 1.)Open for Business 2.)Pets 3.)Seasons 4.)Supernatural 5.)More building tools / styles. I want to build homes from around the world in better detail 6.)Something other than plants and fishing in the hidden lots
1
3.)Handiness / botanist / fishing careers and/or more profitable ways to make money from these skills from home.<br />
14.)More woodworking objects to craft<br />
15.)More options with Sim toys (dialogue)<br />
We have that woodworking table ... make wooden toys. A wooden toy train, a wooden toy car, a marionette puppet ...

What I mean by "Sim toy dialogue" is that children and childish sims currently have interactions to play and talk to toys. (who talk back) - I think it would be neat to have more options (more conversations to have like with sims, just for the toys). As for making toys and puppets, I think that would be great, even better if there was a system in place to sell them to a market or store to make a profit. I enjoy the careers we have that can be done from home (Like writing and painting) and think an addition to them via the skills we have in game already would be very fun.
+ scrap willow creek and oasis springs / change to a multiplayer area as an online feature. Make another at least 100 lot (open world) for single-player
Hey guys, (lurker here), I think it's obvious by now that the community is not entirely happy with the game as it stands now; and those who say they are still could have better feelings about the game.
I've read the majority of the "disappointment thread" and the general consensus is that we want TS2 sims in a TS3 world with the improvments TS4 has made like CAS. Obviously a lot of that is no longer possible to implement like Create-A-Style or a fully open world without a complete overhaul of the game engine which we know EA is not willing to make.
So here's my question to you all: what changes CAN be made to make TS4 a game you would like to play?
(Try to keep your answers restricted to what you think is necessary for a "base game")
Let's make a concise list that the Devs can use as a guide for direction in the future.
LIST OF SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS
CAS
Body hair category
Way to hide undesired CAS assets
Way to disable CAS assets for random townie generating
Random Trait generator
More trait slots
Turn ons/offs
Favorites and Astrological signs
Way to set relationship as Boy/Girlfirend or fiancee
Piercings
Scroll bar for traits
More variety of natural hair colors
More ethnic hairstyles
BUILD/BUY
Basements
Hip-roofs with overhangs
Smaller Telescopes
Auto-roofs
Vehicles (with animations)
More color option (especially ones that match)
Dishwashers, trash compactors, landline phones
Slides and diving boards for pools
Hot Tubs
Terrain elevation tools
WORLD MAP
Option to display map in color instead of white as it is now.
Town Editor (especially way to add lots)
Lots bigger than 50x50
Larger neighborhoods (more than 5 lots)
Way to split funds when merging/splitting households
Way to manage townie generation amounts by lifestage
More venue types (grocery stores, movie theaters, restaurants, clothing stores, hospital, cemetery, arcade)
Option to control culling of townies when limit is reached
Option to pause townie generation
LIVE MODE
Family Tree
Way to lock doors
Way to paint custom pictures (TS2 style)
Memories
Alert for multiple births (for better naming)
Urns/Graves and ghosts for sims that die off-lot
Service Sims (firefighters/police/burglar/newsie/nanny)
Reactions to events (cheating/death/divorce)
Better tuning for time-consuming multitasking (like eating and talking)
Medical career
Allow babies to be removed from bassinets
Option to change last name after marriage
Option to change babies' clothes
NPC's generated for bartenders, maids, and mailmen. (explicitly shown in townie listing for editing)
Game consoles
GALLERY
Option to enable the display of CC in "my library" by default.
OTHER
Fully adjustable lifespans
Toddler lifestage
Pre-teen lifestage
Story Progression
Remove load screens between lots (if possible)
Increase population cap
Increase 20 sim load limit
Memories are in the game already.
I agree with pretty much everything and I think many of those should actually be implemented in future patches

Announcement status? I feel honored, this is maybe the 3rd topic I've created ever in the year and half I've been lurking.
Anyway the list has been updated.
It doesn't. The green is still really flat and there's still a great lack of color. It would be better if the background was also in color.
