    Could they include the feature is CAS mode to allow players to change the height and other body types of their sim (s). I think with this feature, it could recognize that everyone comes in different sizes and shapes.

    I agree with this suggestion since the sims can get laid-off in Growing Together or quit their jobs in neighborhood stories. I would like for them to be able to go back to an old job in their work history. I end up flagging sims in MCCC so they won't change jobs. There should be a way for them to return to their chosen job profession after changing jobs.

    Hello Simmers! EA Maxis,

    play more :)
    I'm just saying... A true Simmer

    I was thinking greeting cards. There is no traffic of mail. I would think it should be base game to be readily able to be crafted by kids and craft from favorite received cards. Older sims can too. Cards could also be ordered of any style to be written for any genre of expression. A jack-o'-lantern card for christmas and good fortune for good wishes.
    I was thinking of this, because Sims don't have printer. It makes sense if there was it to get stationary to do like cards. Sims can print out anything like coloring pages, origami, and stationary. Everyone can design there own including kids from the crafting by hand. Being able to write letters to anyone. I think a printer/stationary would be a stuff pack along side of the ice cream and popcorn appliances.

    Water heaters for BG, more drama and more interactions for plumbing

    Also lawn mowing and pool cleaning

    I think new options for roofing types should be a thing. Or easier ways to build different kinds of roofs.

    So the Sims 4 team has made great strides to make players of all kinds feel represented in their gameplay and I feel has done a great job. I would love to see a basegame update that introduces step parents!

    this morning i discovered a major problem in the sims that really needs fixed. It is currently not possible to set relationships outside of a household. I'm building a youtube family with 16 kids so i need multiple households and i moved a few from one household to another and then i still couldn't set the parent child relationship. this raises the question of broken homes where mom and dad live in different homes and also what about stepparents and siblings? thinking about it this is a huge misstep and needs to be fixed. perhaps a master relationship panel over the entire saved world.

    I think I would like a new world, like an alternative one for THAT world. I filled that for save with my lookalike who lives in there. Mostly or by half the map, I have placed Maxis lots down. The big lot by the water and the two are still free to use. I'm not fully using the others, but the spell casters feel cramped.

    Another BG world would be nice. We have so many lot types and lot sub types, we need more places to put stuff.

    I have been playing more recently and one of the things that I would love to see is ramps for when you have a raised foundation so puppies can get in and out the house without being carried. It would also be great to add a bit more depth to the game by allowing for people in wheelchairs to exists. The want of ramps for dogs is based on a real life expectation for my puppies who have a ramp to reach the dog door which is significantly higher then them due to a raised foundation.

    My suggestion is an update to family trees across the game so that we can have fully fleshed out family connections. Aunts & Uncles, daughters & sons in law, step siblings/parents/children, great grand parents. Even if it is a simple as manually assigning relationships between sims ourselves, i would like it so that my related sims know each other. It was a real downer on growing together when i realised that to create a family to play with, with multi generations, i was going to have to create them as one 8 person household to begin with and then move them out of the home once they were created. This placed limitations on how many family members i could create!

    Other people's suggestions that i would love to see also:
    • A new basegame world- we have so many packs now and so many lot types, with our worlds getting smaller i need more real estate for residential and community lots!
    • Pool heaters - so we can have outdoor swimming pools year round
    • The heart shaped bed
    • Previous jobs/careers in the sim profile

    pack suggestions:
    • a summer gardens kit with lawn mowers and pool cleaners - bust the dust might have had its issues but i think for most people it's ironed out now and i'd love those functionalities brought to my garden spaces!
    • Vacations pack- i want hotels. soooo bad!

    [*] Pool heaters - so we can have outdoor swimming pools year round

    You can have outdoor heated pools all year round if you use the geothermal energy lot trait.


    One thing I would really like is the option to make tomato juice on the stove. It could be used as an ingredient for cooking or drinking.

    I think it used to be that when you hovered over a sim, it said your relationship. I miss that, although I suppose it has been replaced by age.

    My main thing I’d like to see are cars and garages.

    I bolded the ones I want the most. I'm not sure what you mean by 7. Could you explain more please?
    Other ideas:
    • Ladders that can sit on the edge of a floor (like stairs) without having a box around at the top
    • Attic spaces with retractable ladders
    • Trap doors that open up above ladders or stairs- can be hidden or visible
    • Floor doors (like trap doors but can have glass or other styles)
    • Cellar doors (angled ones that sit over stairs or ladders)
    • Windows able to be placed on foundations
    • Window wells
    • Floor doors (like trap doors-- some hidden-- or glass doors)
    • Vents/deco object placed on sides of foundations
    • The ability to place objects off the lot with cheats instead of mods
    • Go straight to build mode without having to create a new sim or family
    • Choose swing direction of doors
    • Customize doors to be able to have different hardware on different sides
    • More options for customizing roof trim
    • More options for friezes & (I'm blanking on the term for the things that sort of look like fences but hang down from the ceiling)
    • Half walls of different heights that can hang down from the ceiling & have wall cabinets, windows, & decor on them (maybe they are bulkheads?)
    • Windows without glass- sort of pass through windows where pets & sims can climb through or pass objects through
    I've included pictures of some of the ideas

    It still does this? Unless it said more at one point that I don't remember.

    I recently just realized that TV’s do not emit light, this is such a little thing but it would be so cool if they did! They could flicker a little bit, similar to the lamp from the basement kit. It would be cool for when all the other lights are off besides the TV. It just seems more realistic as well.
