We really need more colours for floors and walls , and common foundation colours are broken you select white foundation colours and they always show grey .. grey is eewwhh
Mouse and keyboard support is coming according to the 9th April 2019 stream. Microsoft have been promising this for years but "gamers" of online shooters say that using the mouse gives too much accuracy over usual controllers and is unfair.

[quote="Topher8907;c-17056289"]Honestly, once you learn the controller it is ten times faster than using a mouse and keyboard. And this is a person who has used both. [/quote]
I agree. When I first started I hated the controller so much I wanted to die. I couldn’t have switched to keyboard and mouse fast enough. Now, I can’t see doing without the controller. The only thing I wish is that controller users could also change the angle of the camera in build mode.
I still don't get how so many people seem to have problems with the controller, it's just fine to me.
In the beginning there was some kind of bug where the controls went haywire but that seems to be fixed (at least it didn't happen in my game for a very long time), so I don't see where the controls need fixing...specially since keyboard and mouse is supported now (and that update messed up the controlls again...so, great *sarcasm*, but has been fixed with the april 30 patch).
Only "typing" is easier with a keyboard imho.
as for features I'd want, the gallery (I do not consider fixing bugs and better performance to be features).
I do not like having gallerycontent forced upon me with updates, as it is now, I get that some player want premade households and builds, but I really don't and end up deleting most of them (ok I kept 2 builds but the households I always delete).
I figure once we have the gallery that won't happen anymore.

The original post is about 9 months old, and we've really only seen M+K support come. I feel like now that we have M+K support, and we're one pack behind on the PC, it's time to focus on some QoL updates for the Console version!
1. We need a performance patch especially. There's no reason the game should lag as much as it does on the Pro and XboneX, hopefully now that we're in pack parody, the devs can focus on this.
2. I'm honestly SHOCKED that none of the EP's have come with additional trophies. Obvious you can't release trophies for every SP, but EPs and GPs deserve some. Testing the logic triggers takes time, but I'm sure the marketing data would back up how many people purchase DLC just for trophies alone! Not only does it give you additional challenges to strive for (A thing Sims players should love!), but it also drives players to continue to play, and continue to spend more money on packs! I don't know if they can retroactively add them in now that the packs are out, but EA should really look into this. I'm sure many of our fellow forum members would buy more packs if trophies were tied with them; me being one!
3. I'm hopefully that a shared galley still comes out. I bet that their next focus is working with MS and Sony to make this happen. This will drive more sales, especially because a lot of the galley options require a lot of packs to use!
4. And my longshot want is for a true Story-Progression to be added that doesn't require modding. Even something as simple as having new sims generated and moved into house as others die off would be great! Doesn't need to be anything more than that.
I love coming to this forum and seeing all the discussions, really shows that people do love and care for this series!
- The ability to control your sim with the analog stick (take advantage of the controller rather than resort to keyboard and mouse 😑, would also work with first person cam?)
Both features from previous console versions of the Sims, that need to be added ps I don’t understand why no one ask for console exclusive feautures considering there is a console team..
Also someone mentioned updated trophies with EPs etc. Defo a major oversight..
- The ability to control your sim with the analog stick (take advantage of the controller rather than resort to keyboard and mouse 😑, would also work with first person cam?)
Consoles has First person mode.
Hold down on the right analog stick in order to activate it.
If you are interested in challenges; check out the Reincarnation challenge right at this link! here!| If you want spectator mode; go to this link. (for sims 3) here
Please for the love of everything sim associated, allow us to switch branches on careers on sims 4, as a perfectionist a misanthropic and consitant player I really would like the option to complete every aspiration possible without creating, moving in or cheating other sims to do so, being held back on certain goals because I chose the chef stuff first really sucks.
The game is so bugged, character commands and pathing is horrible without even thinking about new features and this game has been out for a while. The more I play the more I notice more things wrong with it then, there's £200 worth of DLC which just seems like content that should of been in the base game, classic modern skeleton of a game with the DLC filler and full of bugs.
I don't even mind the UI and controls, it's not that bad compared to the bugs, terrible design choices, pathing, commands. They clearly just tried to push out the game and then the work after that went into making DLC fillers instead if fixing it the mess they had.
I have an idea for Sims 4 on the console. Here's my idea I was thinking Sims 4 should do handicap pack or as I like to call it handi-capable pack. That would include customizable wheelchairs Walkers and crutches and leg braces for your Sims. And in build and buy mode you have the option to add ramps to your houses and the grab railings and you can also build a handi- capable bathroom with a walk-in shower and handheld shower heads. And also maybe an extra mini DLC pack with handi-capable pets such as dog and cats with three legs the ability to buy them wheelchairs if needed. They can also make it a main pack by adding a new town with like a handicap accessible Park and lots of other accessible places and maybe add a couple of new careers such as a physical therapist I think it would make it more relatable for people and Sims players with disabilities.

I just wanted to let you know PC/Mac and Console already have an option to fill empty houses, you just have to have it checked in the Game options menu ( same place where you chose whether you want Sims to age I believe; on the far right); however, some people have reported to have problems with this ( as in the empty houses are not filling up)
Update: She was not pregnant, but she did have a child. I play on XB1 and I have no problem with this. It's funny I played yesterday and just met a Sim that was pregnant ( and no this was not City Living townie Jesminder Bheeda, not a Sim that I made, nor had any Sims impregnate her) When I asked her about her career she said she was a Stay-at-Home Mom.
I also feel like it's time we get a patch that allows photo frames that can be put in tables and regular surfaces. I really miss that option and I'm so tired of having to put all my photos on the wall!
Personally, I think that the console needs a gallery. So far, you can only see sims/lots that YOU'VE created, not lots and characters that other Simmers have made.
I really want my first pet stuff to be a pack available for console players. Most people don’t like it but since console can’t get cc or mods I think it would be a pretty good pack for console players.
-We need bare minimum gallery:
Xbox to Xbox
Playstation to Playstation.
-More options to bundle and save like pc has
-Release of new expansion packs,game packs, and stuff packs on same day for pc and console/at least the updates. Alot ( not all but alot) of pc players would prefer to play for example Island Living a month later without alot of the bugs that were released with it and get the fix that console got upon release before pc.
-The pack that must not be named. *cough I need that fish table EA....
-Add table picture frames in a free update like y'all teased in Strangerville.( update:they actually did this for the patch for Moschino)
- From the new update I cant use debug mode for my builds without "cheating" I wish you guys could have some options not considered as cheating like debug mode so we can still earn achievements.
- Be able to chose poses when taking selfies or telling another Sim how to pose. Based on thier mood theyll do the pose ,but if theyre angry or sad, thier face will show it; so they need to be in a positive mood for smiles ( Hopefully this can be in the Moschino Stuff Pack- update this wish was granted).
