one of the things i'd like to see has to do with planning social events: when making the guest list your sim can only invite sims known to them. how about the ability to choose from those known to any member of family? one of my sims planned a party for child but didn't know all his friends due to not having met them yet.
also some items i miss from 3: swings, slide, pool floats, food processor, spiral staircase, restaurant. I would LOVE to see a veterinarian career.
The Restaurant feature need a SmartSim system which helps the sims to sit together until the end when the restaurant is paid (no musical chair, no unknown/unwanted sims joining the table).
thank you - it's so bothersome when out and random people join table
Honestly my top need? Open world. Seeing the ugly screen is horrible. Thanks for the wonderful toss you fine as we wait to go to where we are traveling too, but need somethinglike open world or item search like TS3 did.
Greetings,
I was wondering EA, If we were ever going to get any New Poses for our characters, I ask cause I see all the poses from Custom Content, But I do not use CC in my game any longer , So are we or are we not going to get them EA ?
1. open town 2. Edit lots \ add lots 3. Save house only - not just the room or the whole lot 4. Toddlers, pretty please 5. Traveling - open the town then the sim can go for a walk or jog to a lot or park and so on. take a drive to the rattlesnake bar and walk around town for the view or collecting or chatting to other sims 6. Time - one of the simmers made reference to the time a sim takes to eat - not just the eating but many other things. if we can select to extend our time would be great like make a Sim minute equal 1 - 30 seconds. 'cos really who takes 5hours to do gardening and 2 hours to shower - you as the player run out of time before a sim is unhappy or hungry or tired. example: my child goes to school till 3 but because she was working hard she gets home tense, there is no time to make her happy again do homework, eat and interact with family, shower brush teeth then sleep before she has to wake again with the sleep bar not completely full and has to empty bladder brush teeth then have breakfast.... you cannot send your kids hungry to school, o and if you didnt do homework, well there is no time before she leaves to do that anyway.
I am Gothic Type, so please add > Vampires, Werewolves, Zombie's, Plant People, Pets, Cars, Witches, we may have some of the clothes for these types, BUT we Do Not have the Magic! , so please add that as well, thanks.
Open World was taken out to Process ONLY the active Lot, and not other Lots. All made to Optimize the Experience to Our Sims on the Visiting Lot. Alowing us to Keep adding DLC with Minimal to No loss in Performance.
Well the Sim gurus can actually start communicating with the fan base instead of hhiding and dodging questions. I don't see the point in having gurus when they can't answer questions, fix glitches or listen to the fan base. Finding a Sim guru is like finding Bigfoot lol
Also bring different or random Sim players to their Sims camps. I'm sick of seeing the same sheep/simmers there...Why hasn't LGR been invited yet? Cmon.
> @RosemaryThyme said: > Probably been mentioned before, but a way to add Tattoos to your sims outside of CAS and cheats. Like a tattoo parlor or something like that.
Thank you why are only the sims created in CAS allowed to have tats?
Also we need the toddlers back... and the nanny's and Vamps all that good stuff. AND CARS
I wanna an openworld back, storyprogression, more vibrant NPC and neighborhood, And yeah, do we stand a chance to have every city services like hospital, school, cityhall, police departmen in one city, just like sunset valley and other city from the sims 3.
AND OF COURSE I WANNA SEE THE GRID LINE OF OUR HOUSE PLOT SHOULD BE GONE, SO WE DONT CARE ANYMORE ABOUT THE LIGHTNING AT NIGHT AND IT MAKES THE PLOT BLENDS WITH SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT OUTSIDE.
I know these were not on the list for improvement for the game but, Would there anyway that the self-employed careers could be brought back as well as the compost bins for gardening? Also I think an active Military career would be great to have. :D
I'd like them to bring back/add: 1. double and triple height columns (not too difficult). 2. Doorbells! Impossible to hear someone knocking on the door when you live in a mansion. Or at least a better audio for the knocking so I dont have to be near the door to hear it! 3. I was thinking, the gurus or whoever could add in basic 'useable' cars, similar to in the Sims FreePlay where we could have the cars parked on the streets outside the houses and it wouldn't interfere with the general design of the world's!
What can be done to fix TS4? To me this can be done:
Base Game:
Toddler lifestate
bassinet-untied babies
Whim rework
Better handling of moodlets/emotions
Heavy game optimization and bug fixing
putting all the other base game content in ex: trash compactors, laptops, cars, etc.
I'd appreciate if devs put back the head in the pie menu
Maybe an option to have a blue version of the UI the white is tiresome
Open neighbourhoods, it's not quite open world but it would still make a huge difference, I don't know how you pull it I don't care how you pull it, just do it but make sure everything else is running fine and smooth before patching anything.
Party/event new UI where we can plan WHEN to give a party and what attire we want for some parties.
GTW:
Active careers: Get rid of career goals and add in a career portfolio or something that tells the players what they can do on the job if there are any cases or any patients or samples to analyse. Tag those career activities and make them work with the career performance.
Retail: make a shopping bag animation, make ringing costumers by tablets a perk and make lines to pay default. Make a cashier option at the cash register.
Fix the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 bugs.
OR:
I would like an actual vacation UI to choose a destination, when I want to go and where I want to stay or if I want to choose where when we arive at location like in TS2 where we would go to map view.
This has probably already been posted, but for build mode, make building a split level an actual button or something we can just click on instead of having to go through all of that work. It would also be nice to be able to have split levels on the second floor. We need more staircase styles. Oh, and changing the wall or foundation height of one room does not affect the entire lot. And to be able to put windows and doors on foundations (again for split level builds). I have more on my list, but I'm too lazy to type 'em all out. It's that long. ;)
I'd like to see cars very much. I'm not sure if they can make the Sims 4 open world with the game but maybe they could make the roads open world to where you can drive around without a loading screen?
> @usa3766 said: > I'd like to see cars very much. I'm not sure if they can make the Sims 4 open world with the game but maybe they could make the roads open world to where you can drive around without a loading screen?
Honestly, in that case, the company should look no further than The Sims Bustin' Out for the consoles as an influence for that. You literally had a loading screen, but your sim was given an interaction to drive until their destination was loaded. It was actually really entertaining at the time because you didn't see loading screens like that, considering what year it was released. (2003) I'd fully like for that to be the very least that could be implemented regarding vehicles. I mean we already have a loading screen.
The first minute of Episode 2 of Alisaurer's Let's Play of the Sims Bustin' Out video on YouTube demonstrates how that loading screen looked like, btw. (I can't post links on here yet.) You should how interesting it looks for its time. We had nothing like that for a loading screen even on the PC version of The Sims.
I would like a higher level of friendship : Symbiotic relationship.
First, my thoughts are about twins or brother/sister who can't live without each other, they always need to be together.
They are complicit and they know how to take care of each other.
"You're sick ? Let me heal you."
"You're alone ? Here I come !"
"You're hungry ? Let me cook something for you !"
Open World was taken out to Process ONLY the active Lot, and not other Lots. All made to Optimize the Experience to Our Sims on the Visiting Lot. Alowing us to Keep adding DLC with Minimal to No loss in Performance.
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")
