Even as a gay man I don’t like how this game has become way too girlie compare to the other titles. I miss traditional gender roles. The “men” sims feel very soft & girly. Especially the romance interactions. Like why can’t they have masculine animations? Or masculine clothing for that matter? Everything is too flamboyant for me.
But it’s mainly the generation we are in now that has made the sims 4 the way it is now.
Why not cater to everyone? I mean the game is supposed to reflect human life, no? Maybe I'm just trying to look too deeply into it. It is full of silliness after all.
I understand what you're trying to say. Simmers have brought this up with CAS given that male Sims seem to get the short end of the stick. I'm not too sure which activities to add that would appeal to male players though. I know cars are a huge request which I'd also like to see. I definitely agree that the advertising is not centered towards a male player base.
I'm also very happy with the responses on here and everyone having a discussion. I appreciate that people are asking what the poster would like to see as opposed to attacking him for wanting some gameplay that may appeal to him more.
I think drag racing would be pretty dope as a “masculine activity”. Maybe hunting too or even dirt biking. But those are things that we may never see
When you think about it, it really is a slippery slope. I’m sure the team has had some good discussions amongst themselves about new features and elements to add but then the ideas get shot down when they realize teenage girls (the majority of their players) probably won’t enjoy it. And if the majority of your players don’t want to buy a pack, that’s a substantial loss of revenue. Is it worth it to lose that revenue for the hopes of getting revenue from the “other” players?
So unfortunately I understand why they don’t just go all in with certain stuff. They probably do a ton of expensive marketing research to see if teenage girls would enjoy a certain pack before going into production.

I can think of a few things....
Skater boards and skater parks
Pool tables
Weights for weightlifting
Soccer goal (which somehow didn't come with Discover Uni even though they have soccer balls)
Cars, garages and car tuning
Handyman career
Pinball machines
Body hair in CAS
Nectar making and nectar cellars
Roughhousing
Mechanical bull
Boxing career
etc.

That’s the same thing they did with journey to batuu tho lol. But yeah I definitely get what you mean. I do think if they wanted to test the waters they may even be able to add it in a kit. I mean, that’s the point of kits apparently, to add to ones gameplay experience & it’s not meant to be for everyone.
My ideal pack would ofcourse be involving cars. Obviously But to make it all even more 'macho' a world with race tracks. Not to race like a race game but for a racer career. There would be a car factory where you could work, or be the CEO that has to convince the sims to change to electric cars. I even think it's weird I have to suggest this as a "manly" pack because in my real world this should be gender neutral careers.
Another one. Airport! where you could turn an entire map as an airport where you bascity have to do airport work. A micro management game where your sim needs to do task to make the airport running. The map could even be used to take your plane to go on vacation to the packs I didn't buy but will definitely need
There are a lot fewer Male items in CAS and that is a shame. It limits what we can do with our sims. Yeah, I use a lot of the "female" long hairs on my male sims, but I'd like to see more long and short male hairs, not just those sky-high, youth-oriented types, either. And more facial hair! What about sideburns?
I think it would be nice to have a "face shaving" activity linked to the sinks, like brushing teeth. It would be cute to have a dad (or mom!) showing their boy (or girl, let's have fun here) how to shave their face. They could even link facial hair changes to the shaving option for teens/adults (I had a full beard and now I have a goatee). Or is this something that comes with the Parenthood pack? if yes, ignore this paragraph.
Body hair is also lacking, for everyone. Men need more normal non dressy work clothes, too.
And heck yeah, where are the tools? All we have is that one workbench that raises handiness. We now have knitting and crafting tables and decorations, I'd like to see a "pimp my garage/work shop" Stuff Pack, with piles of automotive/electronic/ whatever repair stuff, tools, workbenches and pegboards with tools on them. they could include a few things that can be built or repaired to raise handiness levels and be sold. The tool stuff could come in basic neutral colors and a few fun colors too. The advantage there is these items, while traditionally a "male" item, could be used by anyone, and add a new decorative element.

Yep! I keep saying I see so much potential with Kits. If Kits come often enough, people won’t feel “obligated” to buy them like it’s either this or nothing for several for months. They will only buy what they enjoy.
They can do so much with Kits. I kinda feel like Skateboarding is an idea that teenage girls may actually want in a “main” pack but could also work as a Kit.

No face shaving or beard growing in Parenthood. I wouldn’t personally need to see that but I do think it would be nice to have separate categories in CAS for facial hair. I’d like to be able to customize facial hair. For example, one category for your mustache, one for your chin hair and one for the side. So we can fully customize a Sim’s facial hair and create your own unique style combo instead of picking ones already done as a whole unit.

I feel the same. I like the idea of kits but at the same time I feel it has gotten a bit too much backlash where they might not even do it as often. Which is a shame because it ruins the potential of kits & for other players who like the idea of kits.
Skateboarding would be nice. They can do a tony hawk inspired one too. Or even roller skating & tagging like Jet Set radio. Like you said, so much potential & possibility.

Those are great activity and career suggestions, and I think they would appeal to everyone.
I'd love to have a Western styled restaurant or bar with a mechanical bull and pool tables in the corner! And I'd put weights and boxing in a Gym location along with my Spa components and climbing wall - my sims like to multitask. .. sigh.
I see. Not enough power tools for you? I guess a vacuum doesn't count?
That’s right Goddess, there’s not enough power tools for me and the vacuum suc.ks too hard.
How bout De-Kennefying these dude sims once and for all and add a pretty bodyhair menu to start off with. What’s this? 7 years of Plastic Land?
Next: Don’t be afraid to say it folks. We need some more TRADITIONAL dude stuff. From CAS to BB and everything in between:
For every lip gloss we need a beard.
For every lady hairdo we need a dude hairdo.
For every dress we need a man pants. Not these uncomfortable looking pipe cleaners. Give them some more normal and some more space for crying out loud. Please.
My dude sim doesn’t want to use that lovely vanity table. He wants to be able to shave his whiskers someplace.
And I agree, my dude sim also doesn’t want to flirt the same way all the ladies flirt and bat his eyelashes every time some pretty girl or boy blows a cute little heart kiss at him. My sim is Rambo. And no I’m not playing the wrong game. I’m playing Sim Rambo.
Give us the manly man trait so he doesn’t walk so awkward whenever he’s dying to take a slash.
My dude sim doesn’t want to wiggle his butt whenever he’s about to go for a woohoo. And yet he’s forced to wiggle his butt. It’s sad. She can wiggle her butt if she wants to. Rambo doesn’t want to.
How bout some urinals in the Karaoke Club so the men can all sing together in the bog room. There’s nothing wrong with urinals you know? Or is there something wrong with urinals in 2021?
I know a lot of us want cars and garages, but men want it more. (I want it more).
One day I want to say out loud and proud to all my mates :
“Do you know what I did today dudes?”
And they say: “What did you do today dude?”
And I say: “Today....I played The Sims FOAH.”
And they go “WOOOOW, DUDE”. *punching my shoulder really really hard* . “THAT’S CLASS!! “

You've greatly peaked my interest haha Especially body hair. I was pretty disappointed that wasn't added with the anniversary update. Weights/Weightlifting is something I've also wanted for a long time! Like, why couldn't they have added in free weights with Fitness Stuff? Pool tables and proper pinball machines are also something I've been dying to see back in the game. I'd love to build a "beer-cade" that's essentially a bar with a ton of retro video game cabinets and pinball games.
EDIT: I keep saying this as well, I don't think I've ever seen a male Sim stand to use the washroom... Unless the bladder is in the red, he should be standing up. And where are the urinals?! Urinals are part of everyday life! haha
Idk why it's like that now either. Maybe they want to zero in on young female demographic. There are a lot of posts asking for more male or even more masculine clothing, activities, etc. Its popular now in society to blend the differences between masculine & feminine and the Sims team/EA seems to lead that way now. Either way theres still people who want manly men, masculine clothing, traditional gender roles etc and I wish the Sime put out equal amounts of male CAS stuff
By "blend" you mean erase masculinity right and act as if its a evil dirty bad thing. I completely agree with the op there just is not much content for male Sims the male clothing is a joke and what little we have is skin tight in very flamboyant colors and styles, group sports are non existent we don't even have cars or any hobby like we had in the past.
Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"
so i completely understand what this thread is saying. although one thing to make clear: preteens/ teenagers may actually like some "guy: things. For instance, i remember in my teenage years listening to S8ter Boy by avril Lavigne and i loved the song. therefore, i was interested in skateboarding. we should definetely have cars as well.

Yes I agree. I recognize there are differences between both sexes so I don't "blend" them myself either. I do think EA should provide more male clothing, hair, activities etc so people can choose for themselves what kind of person they want to make. I usually rely on CC to get more stuff.
The Sims has currently lost its identity. Bring it back for TS5

My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
As a middle aged housewife who was somewhat gender-non-conforming in her youth and now is only too glad to banish laundry and vacuuming from my sims games (I do have Laundry Day, I just never include any of the washers or dryers in my builds so I never have to deal with it) I agree, we need ... well, Sigzy05's list pretty much covers it.

I'd add an American football/rugby ball and Single-player Arcade Cabinets.
I also want gambling outside of Sabaac. I may be one of the few who enjoys Journey to Batuu, but I want more gambling options like poker, or blackjack, or baccarat...
CAS wise, we really do need more basic, versatile men's clothing. A T's, henleys, and Jeans kit might be a good start. (Okay, for formal wear, I'd want stuff more like pretty much anything Chadwick Boseman wore on the Red Carpet, which is probably a bit too flamboyant for a lot of people, but it's not like I'm asking for Billy Porter levels of flamboyant.)
(And a minor note to the OP, the word I'd use for the Bust the Dust and Country Kitchen kit is "domestic" - as they have to do more with taking care of the home/family needs, and domestic isn't quite as gender-charged. Just for future reference.)

Both TS1, TS2 and TS3 have urinals in the BG. TS4 is the only exception. For some strange reason TS4 is also the only game where bathroom stalls are exclusive to one EP, when they were BG before in previous games.

When you think about it, it really is a slippery slope. I’m sure the team has had some good discussions amongst themselves about new features and elements to add but then the ideas get shot down when they realize teenage girls (the majority of their players) probably won’t enjoy it. And if the majority of your players don’t want to buy a pack, that’s a substantial loss of revenue. Is it worth it to lose that revenue for the hopes of getting revenue from the “other” players?
So unfortunately I understand why they don’t just go all in with certain stuff. They probably do a ton of expensive marketing research to see if teenage girls would enjoy a certain pack before going into production.

Yes I agree. I recognize there are differences between both sexes so I don't "blend" them myself either. I do think EA should provide more male clothing, hair, activities etc so people can choose for themselves what kind of person they want to make. I usually rely on CC to get more stuff.

Now that you mention it, has any Sims game included urinals?
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
I'd add an American football/rugby ball and Single-player Arcade Cabinets.
I also want gambling outside of Sabaac. I may be one of the few who enjoys Journey to Batuu, but I want more gambling options like poker, or blackjack, or baccarat...
CAS wise, we really do need more basic, versatile men's clothing. A T's, henleys, and Jeans kit might be a good start. (Okay, for formal wear, I'd want stuff more like pretty much anything Chadwick Boseman wore on the Red Carpet, which is probably a bit too flamboyant for a lot of people, but it's not like I'm asking for Billy Porter levels of flamboyant.)
(And a minor note to the OP, the word I'd use for the Bust the Dust and Country Kitchen kit is "domestic" - as they have to do more with taking care of the home/family needs, and domestic isn't quite as gender-charged. Just for future reference.)
Both TS1, TS2 and TS3 have urinals in the BG. TS4 is the only exception. For some strange reason TS4 is also the only game where bathroom stalls are exclusive to one EP, when they were BG before in previous games.
I'm pretty sure my sims would try to sit in it.
