Without this I don't think TS4 will ever be truly enjoyable, no matter how many expansion packs they add.
Everything that was cool from previous Sims games - i.e. bunk beds, ladders, platforms, spiral stairs, L stairs, more lots or customs sizeable lots, the ability to build multi-family homes with designated apartments so I could create apartment buildings or duplexes.
Sims Art Studio for 4. I would like to create weird art for my goths, hippie posters for my hippies, and paintings of coffee cups & moustaches for my hipsters.
Lounge chairs, sectional couches, rocking chairs, stackable stairs so I could put basement stairs under stairs to second floor - LIKE REAL HOMES.
Make the Wall Mounted Coat Rack and Shoe Racks have the dresser/walk in closet action so we can build real closets with doors - LIKE REAL HOMES.
Wall options like glass tiled backsplashes for kitchens & a Homecrafter add on like Sims 2 so we can create our own walls and floors.
I would like a sewing/crocheting/knitting activity for Sims to make their own clothing/blankets/rugs to use or sell - much like the woodcrafting table. This would be great for elderly Sims too - see rocking chair request above...
The things I'd love to see in Sims 4:
1. Witches and Werewolves
2. University
3. More interactive jobs and jobs you can go to work with your sims with
4. Still waiting for more Elder life state improvements. (They shouldn't just wait to die)
5. More hobby type interactions. Maybe my sims would enjoy painting miniatures or sculpting
6. Prom and graduation for teens.
7. Private school
8. lemonade stands
9. More ethnic hair choices. Seriously, my sims are begging for something besides one afro and a few braided hairs.
10. More after school activities. Kids being able to do more than one after school activity at a time.
There are lots of others, but for reasons I don't understand, when someone asks me what I'd like to have/see in the sims 4, my brain goes frustratingly blank and I can't get them to come to mind anymore. I'll think of them when this thread is old and updating my post would be considered necroposting.
Loving yourself is the most simple and complicated thing you can do for you.
I know it may be simple and a little silly, but I would really like to see a banking system implemented in the game (loans, checking accounts, savings accounts, direct deposit). I know there are mods for it, and I have used some infact, but I think it would be cool to be added by the devs.
@The_Tech_Guy153 That would be amazing. I'd love that feature. Its one I'd never thought of, but it would add so much to the game for me. Great idea! The mods, many of them, are great, but I'd love to see the system implemented officially.

Honestly, I like the way Sims 4 is and the content that's been added and changed for the game. ....
But what I want is for the sims themselves to have more depth, more individuality and more uniqueness. That likely means an overhaul of the emotions/moodlets system because as it stands now, the sims we create are no different at all. The traits don't impact them much and the emotions cause them to be tense in terms of wording on a screen only. They all play the same and feel the same.
If you are a rotational player and play many, many sims, you can see they aren't any different at all no matter what you make them look like, or what traits you give them. That aspect of the game needs a lot of love.
I don't think any particular pack like University will do that. No mainstay Sims pack will do that. Not cars. Not a beach. Not swimming in oceans. None of that will fix the issue until they tackle personalities.

If it was mentioned here, I apologize in advance. I have created many sims with certain personalities in mind and since I play rotationally, I sometimes get to see how my sims interact when I am not controlling them, and some of that stuff slightly annoys me. For example, I have a sim who is passionate about outdoors, camping and gardening. She is not exactly a loner, but she is no social butterfly either and, in my mind, she would not be the sim to go in nightclub to party. But when I play other sims, I always see her in nightclubs and it kind of goes against the character I intended her to have. There are other sims like this too and none of them have any party related traits or aspirations. > With all that being said, I wish they would put a sort of "dislike" system in the game where you could select activities or things your sim dislikes. But this would not serve as an attraction tool like the previous games- instead, it would simply dictate what the sim would never do if you are not controlling them. For example, you select celebrities and partying as your disliked things then the sim, when not under your control, will never go to nightclubs or parties (unless specificly invited) and will never fan over celebrity sims. > This has been a thing that has semi bothered me recently so I just came up with a quick concept. > > > > > Hear, hear! As a rotational player I couldn't agree more. > I really dislike seeing for example some of my sims freak out when a celebrity enters a lot, it doesn't suit the personalities I have made up for them
I third this. It's crazy how a well-crafted Sim suddenly becomes a generic Sim when you are playing a different one. It kind of prevents us from building our own neighbourhood dynamics. What if I want a town of geeks? But the only one who behaves like a geek is the one I'm playing at the time? If Sims were true to what we made them to be, there could be some pretty interesting neighbourhood building.
1. A full game that doesn't cost hundreds of $$$ to own all of its components, or at least a reasonable diversity of such?
2. Farm and country, said by others. I had a multi-generational farm going in Sims 3. Just started a game in Sims 4 to try it again only to find out the closest I can get is a foodie family full of gardeners with pets. Not exactly the family farm. So disappointing. So back to Sims 3 - once again! - to be able to do what I want to do.
3. The capabilities of Sims 3. At least.
4. Depth and difference in the characters. There's focus on the stuff, somewhat on careers, but characters that are truly different and stay true to character would be true. It would be cool to have limits based on character as well.
5. After several years now, I still tune into Sims 4. But I don't love it. Like I loved previous SIms games. It seems like EA has mastered everything about how to make money on the game, the obvious top priority. But seems to me they could make more money if there weren't thousands and thousands of disappointed users, and more reasonable price points. I can get some pretty good complete games for the price of one EA Sims 4 expansion. They must know they have a lot of very occasional Sims 4 players. They must know a lot of us really loved and played previous Sims games a lot. And still do play those games, despite inferior graphics, because, well, they are simply better.
I'd love more active careers, a superhero themed pack, and more traits. More random ways to die would be a plus as well; my game is getting a touch too easy to survive. Something similar to Into the Future from TS3 would be a very welcome addition as well.
Big cities
More sims allowed in a home (without a mod).
Vehicles and garages.
Real vacation time. Sims should be ale to take a week or two off
Fire fighter, and police officer careers.

So I hope an overhaul on personalities is on progress as well!
Accepting that the core engine and game will not change and that things like better personalities and likes and dislikes, memory, etc won't happen, here is my list.
-more hobbies and freetime elements
-more stuff for children (after school activities and hobbies) to do and basic interactions like play tag
-after school activities for teens too
-some sort of ecoliving farming pack
-more holiday destinations
-the ability to combine 2 or more different lot types into one
-inheritance, funerals, and cemeteries
-bikes (for children and teens+)
-strollers for toddlers
-private schools
-more types of stairs and a ladder
-part time jobs and simpler jobs for adults
-university
-more residential worlds inspired by other countries and not the US
-NPC police, firefighters, burglars
-bands
-swimming in bodies of water
-a proper beach destination and a proper beach residential world
I'll stop now, but the list could go on.
I want to add 4 more things to my list:
- Sims to be able to talk to each other when fishing (it's a shame that this is still not in the game)
- Sims to be able to jog together (it would be so cool to have sporty couples go for a morning jog together!)
- Children to be able to walk their dogs (very unlikely but still worth mentioning)
- Children to be able to help a teen+ with gardening and cooking (this one would be ideal in a family oriented pack)

University, completely open neighborhoods, real working cars, and a preteen life state. It would also be great if the emotions could actually mean something and not just be there for animation purposes.
Bug fixes and an added system or at least overhaul of emotions/traits so that our Sims have more unique personalities from each other are the two main things I'd like added. Here's a few more I'd love to see. Some of these I know will never happen, but a girl can dream eh?
Body Hair
Slow Dancing & Original Dance styles update - Including the ability for Sims to dance & talk while actually facing each other Lighting Adjustment in Build/Buy mode
Doorbells
Pond Tool
Bed Animations - Relaxing, reading a book, watching TV, spooning, cuddle/kiss while lying down, etc. Couch/Floor Animations - Relaxing prone while watching TV, sitting cross-legged on both to do homework, work on the laptop, make journal entries or just watch TV. Better 'real' makeout sessions on the couch. More or better Woo Hoo agreement animation - Get rid of the silly fist-pump or at least add different animations to reflect their personalities/traits/current relationship Group Portraits - Painted, by camera or cell Group Selfies Tabletop photographs/paintings
Stackable Windows - The ability to put more than just one window on a wall grid Recolor Ceilings More object slots - On all surfaces and allow ANY object that would realistically fit on them, especially shelves, instead of the limited selection we have now. Springboard diving board & slide
Pool stairs
Lounge chairs
Pool toys - beachball, floating lounge chair or blow-up mattress/ring, water volleyball Lazy boy armchairs - Back goes down, footrest goes up so Sims can nap on them properly or just watch TV/Relax Sectional sofas

Move Sims with MOO
More realistic phone calls from Sims update - No details needed, y'all know what I mean. One thing I will say though is ghosts shouldn't be able to call anyone IMO! More playground equipment
Sandboxes
Sand Castles
Animated Picnic Blanket & Basket
Updated Coolers - To keep freshly caught fish on vacation from going foul until Sims go home. Also so Sims can bring food from home when camping. Alarms clocks or at least an app for cell phones - Let Sims set what time they need to get up whether one time or repeating. Bonus if they can pick a specific chime or music to play and a snooze option. Open Neighborhoods
Modifiable public areas and unlocked restricted venues
Home Businesses
Own more than one lot per household
Vehicles - Including public transporation, school buses, car pools, and fixer-uppers Helicopters

Call to meal update - Sims should come sit at a table and wait for food to be served to them or prepared food set on the table to take a serving when this interaction is selected. Career/Jobs update - Including more added and teen part-time jobs opened for all Sims Farming and/or Off the Grid pack
I could go on forever, but I'll stop there for now.
