Sims 4 Generation Type EP (What I think should be in it)

Comments

    Yes to everything!

    I really want a rocking chair that adds new interactions with babies and toddlers. Like:

    - Breast/bottle feed baby/toddler (instead of doing it standing).
    - Tell/read stories (including bedtime stories).
    - Sing to them.
    - Rock them to sleep.

    Also, I really want to see some new things. I would love if they could ruin objects, like paint the couch or the walls, which would result in having to replace the ruined couch or clean the wall. Go to the fridge and make a mess, which would result in a puddle to clean. If they are outside in the garden they should be able to play in the mud which would result in... well, a toddler covered in mud haha

    Other things:

    - Cribs that have blankets! Why would babies sleep without any blankets?
    - Check for monsters under the bed for children.
    - Nightmares for children and the ability to sleep with their parents.
    - The ability to kiss goodnight and tuck them in.
    - After school activities. I miss ballet!
    - New social events like baby shower, engagement party, bachelor party, sleepover for children and teens, funerals, graduation party for teens.
    - Doctor's appointment for pregnant sims where we can take an ultrasound and know the gender of the baby if we wish.
    I will add this soon

    So much yes! Generations was one of my favourite EPs for TS3 because It really made the sims feel like a family :) also is it just me or do teens really not feel like teenagers in TS4? They're just like YAs who have to go to school XD

    Edited for typos ^^;

    Agreed, I want to have short teens again.

    I am craving for better Sims interactions. Improvements on family play and family interactions between babies, TODDLERS, children, teens, parents, grandparent and even great grandparents.

    *multitasking! Complete with multitasking settings which gamers can choose multitasking free will mode or multitasking by command mode

    *multitasking... your sims interacting with other sims while in the middle of another action (cooking cleaning working out studying watching tv eating etc)

    *While your sim is in the middle of doing something you should be able to click on another sim and find a multitasking tab which would offer different interactions to choose from. If you have multitasking free mode on Your sims might choose an interactions on their own!

    *multitasking interactions such as "nag" "insult" "mock" "joke" "good morning" "good night" "I love you" "how was your day?" "how was work?" "how was school today?" "you know what I did today at work/school!" "do you need me to help you" "do you need something"

    *I would love to see more comfort/loving options for family members such as Patting on shoulder, leaning on sims, putting arm around sims or putting their heads down of anothers shoulder, high fives, sims slapping bottoms, Sims coming over from behind hugging or kissing the other sims.

    *All of the above interactions should be able to occur as a main interactions or as a multitasking interactions. meaning they can do the above while walking by and the other sim can continue with what they are doing all the while responding to the interaction

    *Multitasking involving younger sims. how nice if toddler and infant interaction with their family would go smooth instead of only occurring by a player command

    *Picture a sims carrying their infant and sitting down to watch tv all awhile feeding the child playing with the baby or rocking it to sleep.

    *picture a toddler crawling or a child coming to their parent and asking to be picked up talked to or cuddled and the sims parent doing so without ever completely stopping what they are doing.

    * infants toddlers and children could sit on their parents lap and be hugged bounced cuddled all while parent multitask doing whatever they were doing and interacting with their children

    *I would love to see parents able to nurse, rock babies and sing to them while carry on with they were doing

    *older family members bathing babies toddlers and children and playing with the kids who are in the tub (rubber duckies sail boats splashing)

    *It be nice if they could multitask with their babies by having them in an infant/toddler sling. Cooking house chores helping kids do homework all while carrying and interacting with the infant/toddler.

    *kids falling asleep on another sims lap and being able to be carried to bed (adult sims could carry adults sims too and accidentally drop them if their body skills are low to none lol)

    *tucking kids in singing lullabies to them or reading a bedtime story.

    *It would be cute if the baby would sleep in different positions, cuddle a blanket, suck a pacifier or its thumb.

    *It be nice beside the option of a sitter non school age children can be placed in daycare.

    *or once the toddler could walk/talk/and was potty train they can go to preschool. An adult/teen can carry the Toddler on and off the bus.

    *Preschool would give children a grade and a half advantage when first starting grade school over children who did not go to preschool.

    *disciplining toddlers children teen would be great from time out chairs to loosing play or tv time to being grounded.

    *Also rewarding children for cleaning up good grades would be great

    * having the option to scold children or praising

    *depending on how the parents raise their child praising/disciplining/ignoring would result in how the children behave

    *Toddlers, Children and teens behavior could range from somewhere between snoody dont care to get dirty proper children, to playful excitable yet well behaved children who occasionally need of re correction to out of control wild naughty rebellious border line evil children.

    *toddlers children and teens can make parents (depending on parents personality) go through many emotions proud, happy, love, embarrassed, angry frustrated going insane (example evil sims can be embarrassed if their children are nice Good sims would feel embarrassed if their children acted bad/cruel)

    *depending on age group, personality and upbringing our young sims should be able play calmly and quietly, paint, read, have dress up parties, tea parties, slumber parties, mischievous night out ,sneaking out with a group, THE PARENTS ARE OUT THE TEENS WILL PARTY vandalize things, set things on fire, steal, lie, play pranks, school events, trick o treating, fund raising, charity, girl/boy scouts, sports

    *more children games and interactions such as board games, playing with "hotwheels" trains or dinosaurs playing cops and rubbers, cowboys and indians, children pretending to be doctors cooks rocket scientist teachers actors etc

    *younger sims (some crazy adults too) should be able to slide down a railing, jump on furniture, swing on ceiling fans, hang off window curtain rods, color on walls, spill things, purposely/accidentally break things, track mud through the house, try to cover up what they did

    *there should be more family activities such as pizza night ice cream sundaes parties Game night slumber parties tag hide and seek sports

    *It be cool to have a Great grandparents pride icon and Grand children can have a wish for their own children be born in time to meet their grandparents. grandparents could have a wish to stay alive to meet great grandchildren

    I think these add on would make the Sims family play more exciting and enjoyable.

    LOOK THIS IS HOW IT WOULD LOOK

    AND THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO GET BORED IF IT COULD BE PLAYED LIKE THIS:

    The interactions suggested are adorable! Do you know how many times I have wanted my sim to get up in the morning and give their partner, who is cooking them breakfast, a nice hug from behind? Or when my teens have come home from school having had a really bad day and they just needed a caring shoulder to lean on? So cute.

    Also I love th suggestion of the teens actions/emotions having an effect on the parents, like how family oriented sims miss their family after a few hours of no interaction.

    Your other ideas were good too but these are ones that I really wanted to point out! :)

    I love this!
    I would add some notes about issues and/or fixes that must go in:
    → Names/info must not disappear from tombstones even if the sim is culled, if we have graveyards (and would you be able to raise that ghost?)
    So maybe, no culling of any sims whose tombstones/urns are in the public graveyards?
    → Culling of ghosts will have to be addressed, too
    → Family tree bug will have to be fixed, so the wonderful info available won't be lost

    I like a lot of your other ideas, but some I wouldn't want to see limited to one age stage, like the punk styles, I think certainly teens, and YA, Adults, and some things even for kids would be good, not just college-age; and I really like some of the things you include like the vandalism, and pranks, setting things things on fire, but I'd like to also see those things expanded for multiple ages as well.

    This is a great thought-out list, thanks!

    I love video games because of the things that I could never do in real life... For instance, in the sims you can get a job and a house.

    I love everything that has been said! Great list. I'd like to add a better memory system like they had in TS2 with the green for good memories or red for bad. Like some memories could be self explanatory. Like cheating is obviously bad (in my opinion) But may add a color like purple or orange or something and let it change colors so that could be something the Sim can decide without the game or player actively deciding

    That is a great idea. And also I think a sim can get over a bad memory, like a sim gets cheated on and its a bad memory, but then they get another successful relationship and that memory goes from red, to a blue(to use your color system). I think it would improve emotions a little, make them more real.

    I like these ideas, but hopefully there will be a non colored visual cue as well. I say that since more than half of my cousins who play the sims are colored blind.

    Now I just feel depressed because of that wonderful list of stuff that would make family play beyond amazing but that we will never get because it's Too Hard and Expensive™.
