    A little help for you to improve the game :)

    - Update neighbourhood stories so that townies could autonomously start to date, get married, finish university, progress careers, divorce and my sims could get invited to birthday parties, weddings, or to help a friend when they break up etc.
    It would be amazing if townies would know each others!

    - Repair social bunny so that it is not useless anymore. Sims could finally be able to post about what happens to them, like vacations, graduation, marriage, birthday, breakups etc!

    - An attraction system that may even challenge compatibility: a sim could be attracted to someone they are not compatible with

    - Better teens! There is nothing real about teens, you could add modlets specific for them about that add more drama and realism. For example they may feel uncertainty about future and confusion or even sadness about love life, fear of the first kiss and inspiration about self discovery. It could even work similar to the middle life crisis in growing together. With updated neighbourhoods stories and social bunny teens could receive messages about friends who give their first kiss, breakups, and others who decide which university they want to do etc and they could give them moodlets too.
    Them and children could also have summer and winter vacations!

    - Longer and better moodlets. Some noodles should last longer and have a bigger impact than other. Furthermore they should be more influenced by sims traits. Other ways my sims are all the same and they don’t feel real. For example, no way a tan you get would last so short

    It would be fantastic 🥹

    A functional coat rack so you can change your outerwear and add and remove accessories.

    A functional dressing room so that when you go to Sulani or pools, you can change into swimwear and Snowboarding gear in Mt. Komorebi.

    Turn several world objects into interactive shells such as: parking meters and bus stops that enable map travel and storefronts (like the ones in Mt. Komorebi and Tomarang) that enable purchases like the Chesnut Ridge general store.

    You can click on a sim anywhere to get them to change their outfits, you don't need a dresser or a dressing room to do that.

    @nattygirl13 there is mod that does that by IlexSims. the has a lot of decor with purpose. while I would have liked that officially in game, I downloaded it and I took it out because you can just click on your sims for that way lost in my catalog but cute idea. He has a lot of decor with purpose like body wash, perfume, while cute to play with something new, I simply can't find in my game catalog. The team should have made that gameplay but clicking on the sim anywhere in the case of the coat rack makes it a gameplay a little harder.

    Bigger terrariums and tanks for frogs and insects and being able to feed them and take care of them.

    I think it might be the best if the option to take care of frogs and insects only showed up if you put them in the bigger tanks/terrariums. That way it wouldn't disturb collectors or other people who don't want to take care of them. Or then there could just be a toggle to either care or not care for them. That way fishes and the aquariums that are already in the game could be included too.

    Something else I just thought of that desperately needs to be remedied in the game:

    Shiftable mirrors

    There's nothing more frustrating than not being able to use at least 50-70% of the mirrors in the game because they sit way too high on the walls (and look ridiculous) and can't be shifted down to a lower, more practical height. Mirrors need to be moved freely up and down the walls to accommodate whatever other item we might be placing them over (bathroom sinks, bedroom dressers, hallway tables, etc).

    If custom content creators can make all of their mirrors freely shiftable on the walls while still maintaining proper functionality, then surely the Maxis devs can do so too? In fact, cc creators have made overrides of all the Maxis mirrors so they can be shiftable on the walls, but of course those show up in game as custom content.... I would much rather the correction be made by the Maxis devs so the items aren't cc if you upload a build to the gallery.

    This is actually something that's been quietly sitting on my wishlist for years....

    better autonomy on going to the bathroom. the if you play without ui cheats with a family of 5 or more, all your trying to do it get them all to a bathroom the entire time- not fun. Why do they have to wait until they almost pee themselves before the do the dance to the bathroom?

    Just hire Little Ms Sam, and all these other mod creators for ideas.

    Maybe you don't have enough bathrooms in your lots or the pathing to the bathrooms is bad. I play with full autonomy and never have to worry about sims not getting to the bathroom on time and peeing themselves. When they start doing the funny walk just let them take care of their bathroom needs and don't que any other task before that.

    MP3 shortcut support for the custom music folder, so we don't have to paste MP3 files into there.

    I realize that clicking on the sim allows from the same interaction. However, since the sims is a simulation game, I'd like to have the option to simulate real experiences, like shopping in a department store and using the dressing room to plan outfits. It's also not realistic for retail stores to have dressers in place of dressing rooms.

    And while modders may offer suitable content, not everyone supports mods or has access these options (for instance console players). That's why it'd be nice to see these ideas patched into actual gameplay.

    Similar to how the snowy escape pack added bath house lockers (which have the same functionality as dressers) and the for rent patch added an update for shoe racks and sinks, these additional features may not be strictly necessary, but many players value the attention to detail. Sometimes I get tired of clicking on the sim and searching through various menus for interactions. I like having an interactive object to perform certain interactions. For instance, there are interactive shells in henford and chestnut ridge that allow for "window shopping," a function I value because I appreciate being able to have that extra realism in the game.
