Hi, I've been lurking around to see if someone creates a thread like this but not seen anything.
The Sims team have confirmed that there will be an upcoming overhaul of all the Sims families. What are your thoughts on what they could do and what would bring in more Lore?
Here are my (Base Game) starters for 10...
Willow Creek:
-Pancakes:
-At the moment the Pancakes are a young adult couple. Is this the case? Because to me they look like they should be at either the end of being YA or at the start of being Adults.
-Iggy has been in several trailers now and is available in the gallery. It's time to bring him into the game fully!
-they are supposed to be having marriage problems. How's about actually making that the case in the relationship panel?
Spencer Kim Lewis
-Like the Pancakes how old is Alice meant to be? She has a child daughter but is at the start of being a YA.
-How did they get their wealth? None of the family work!!
-We obviously know Dennis and Vivian but what happened to their spouses? The bio specifically mentions Dennis's ex wife, could we possibly include her as a townie?
BFF
-They are all supposed to be best friends but currently are all just acquaintances. Can we update that?
-We know that Summer and Liberty are meant to have feelings for Travis but what could be said about Travis? Does he like one more than the other or are his interests elsewhere?

Maybe they will also add some more backstories and make sure that their relationships are correct. Johnny Zest should be related to the Landgraab's and probably also have some bad relationships with them, maybe they will add sentiments as well.
Maybe they will also change the looks of some premade sims (I know there are people on twitter who have expressed their opinions about Bella Goth...) but I'm not sure about that one.
Leave Alexander alone, since his skintone is consistent and reasonable for him to be so pale - he takes after his father, like how Cassandra takes after their mother. But I hope we get some facial overhaul, so he isn't a genetic timebomb when he ages up. Seriously, the poor kid grows up to be so ugly in The Sims 4, I always keep him as a child out of mercy.
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
I'd rather see them focus more on lore of the NEW premades. That would be just cool! Look forward, don't waste resources on flicking with details of the long gone past. With all packs new simmers will find plenty of lore anyway.
That said, I'm not quite sure what they intend to do and why they decided to do it. Necro-posting isnot allowed here on the forums, but EA is obviously expecting the community to applaud their "necro-loring". Let the old tribes rest in one peace, I'd say

I think this overhaul will be only in new saves, it has no sense making it in older saves because many premades maybe are dead or already changed, I'm pretty excited about this and I'm sure it will impact in new saves in a good way.
Yes exactly this.
As someone who mainly plays premades I'm so upset already because if they start necro loring thats pretty much same as saying all i played up to now was wrong and i have to redo everything all over again 💀 and ive fixed old premades up already and added likes dislikes and all
Hopefully its only new saves
or new gallery versions
don't really see point of saying they're adding lore tho if we don't at least have memories system first
sentiments fade and likes and dislikes change and makeovers don't count lore for me
missing family relations? maybe but eh.

How do you assign NPC’s for Eco lifestyle?
With 'TestingCheats on', Shift+click on sim and select 'Set NPC Eco Behaviors'.
I very much doubt the new lore update will affect existing saves. Also there is no wrong way to play this game, and I would hope this update doesn't give off that impression either, keep playing how you've always been playing, I don't think the lore update will change anything about anybody's existing saves or playstyles.
Skin tone: Bella, Zoe, Bob, Alice, Gavin & Liberty could use a little melanin
Hair color: Dina, Travis, Summer, Malcolm & Eliza, not the right shade of blond/red for you & your brows should match a little better
Hair style: Dina, Eliza, Cassandra & Liberty have a newer options to match their personality
Hair texture: Bob, your beard, c'mon
Toddlers: where's Iggy Pancakes? maybe a sibling for Olivia too?
Relationship: stop cancelling Johnny, he's a Landgraab; enemies & love interests should match their bio
Careers: include the new jobs like freelancer for Alice, Gavin or Travis & style influencer for Zoe or Dina
Skill: more types learned with higher achieved points for all starter premades; 20 base skills & they only have a couple points of one or two things?
Wishlist - new NPC uniforms - more realistic & less stereotypical; service industry workers don't dress like that
For new players, the (beginning) story will match the sims.
For existing simmers, less cheats to set up a game.
Johnny Zest also dropped out of school, so it would be cool if he had some university credits already in case you decide to send him. It would reduce the number of courses he needs to take to finish a degree.
The Calientes need fixing too. The family bio says that Don is involved with Katrina, but they have no romantic relationship or relbits at all.

Would be the perfect opportunity to release one sided friendships and romance. But I know they won't...
