It's such a strange thing to be missing from the game, and I can probably say I can't remember the last time I saw one in the Sims. But just about everyone's grandparents have them, and they're such an iconic piece of most living rooms, so where are they in the Sims? Maybe it's time to add them? Possibly in an elders themed pack?

Yep they are so cool. They were in TS2. I would love to see them return.
Speaking of which, aren't those longer lounge chairs missing too, at least from the base game? I know I couldn't find any and they were definitely a thing in TS3, so you'd think they'd add them when they put pools back into TS4. Unless I'm mistaken haha. And a recliner could just be a shift from a regular chair to one of those outstretched kinds.

The homephones!!! I loved them in TS3. I loved adding the one that hangs on the wall in my kitchens and then adding the one with a base on top next the bed counter. I need them, can’t build a home without reminiscing of them
However, this is a life simulator, and who says I only want to simulate modern life? Lots of my stories are based in the past.
Also, I assume recliners aren't in the game for the same reason lounge chairs aren't. They said it'd difficult to do multi-tasking and lounging animations and requires more work. That doesn't mean we won't get any, they said they'd look into it and know we want, just that it akes more time to make than you'd think.
> There's a lot of things strangely missing from the game. Cars, lounge chairs, laptops, home phones, L-shaped stairs, ladders, spiral stairs....
I miss cars and bikes :'(
Yes they are missing, reportedly because of multitasking. It's hard for them to make new seating positions because there a lot of animating that goes into them. That said, they will only come through either an EP or GP because of the budget.
I really really want cars, laptops, and L-shaped stairs!
The others would be nice too, especially recliners/loungers and bunk beds.

I'm going to be 41 soon but I've had a landline for decades. My brother will be turning 40 this year but he's also had a landline for decades. We also both still read newspapers.
I'm under 40 and have a home phone haha! In fact I only just got my first cell phone 2 months ago. I don't read the newspaper though LOL! But there's definitely Sims that are over 40. Be nice to have them in some of our elders houses

They should be less selfish sometimes, think about your players a little bit. Even tho it requires a lot coding isn't it their work, code the game?
