Skill system Right now mastering a skill is really easy. You are able to master a skill in one week, even less. It should take much more time to master skill. Here are some ideas how to make skilling different, fun, and challenging 1. Add talents and weaknesses - All our sims should have their talents and their weakness.…

Adoption system Adoption system deserves some overhaul. First of all, our household would have to fullfil some requirements in order to be able to adopt kids. Social worker (returning NPC) would check the house. Your sims would have to visit kid they want to adopt before they adopt them. You would have to gain a trust of…

Illnesses, chronic illnesses, injuries, allergies, dental hygiene and disabilities Illnesses Illnesses system from Get To Work should be revamped. Right now, illnesses doesn't do much, they are just there. But they should affect the gameplay. 1. New illnesses and refresh of current ones - there should ne illnesses that…

Game's economy is something that should be revisited. Why? Right now, sims get so much money and they have no options to spend them. New economy would change salaries and prices in a game, while adding new gameplay features. 1. Add taxes and different typey of insurance 2. Add banks, online banking and loans 3. Lower…

I'm really missing LGBTQ+ related gameplay that could possibly add new depth to gameplay and challenges. 1. Attraction - It is important to add both romantic and sexual attraction. It would add new possibilities for relationships and gameplay. We wouldn't be able to flirt with just anyone we want but with sims who are…

I appreciate that you are trying to be inclusive as much as you can, either by inclusion in game or by highlighting representation on social media (like Black History month or Pride month). But to me and many other Simmers it feels like you are neglecting community of disabled people and neurodivergent people. There is a…

Careers Current careers are easy. They do not offer any challenge. It is easy to get promotion and earn so much money you will never use during Sim's life. There are so many ways how could be careers remade. 1. Add new normal careers - current issue with BG careers is that we need more normal careers. 2. Edit salary - as…

Aspirations They work like tutorials rather than life challenges. Aspiration goals should be hard, something you could work on the entire life of sim. They should be more complex rather than being just pack based. Make them more like TS3 lifetime wishes with different stages with much harder goals and more goals in order…

Relationships It is so much easy to build up relationship with sims. Add a chemistry system that would affect relationships - that would include romantic and non romantic relationships. Chemistry system would depend on traits, aspirations, look (romantic relationships), likes and dislikes, hobbies. Some sims would have…

Emotions This system needs to be changed. It doesn't work and it doesn't bring anything to the gameplay. With fine tuning, it could create an interesting gameplay challenge. Current emotion system needs to be tuned because weak emotion overpowers stronger one - if sim is sad because they lost someone, they shouldn't become…

Why does The Sims 4 feel as more of a building simulator than life simulator? Will you sometimes show, either on social media, or special livestreams, some love for other past games? Like The Sims 2, The Sims 3, or even spinoff games? Why excatly aren't both, The Sims and The Sims 2 on Origin? The reason feels odd, we…

I've noticed that some people in this thread defend Hates Children/dazed effect. Sorry people, this is not ok. I'm one of those who want more edgy, dark humorous gameplay like past games and seriously, this is not it. There are some things that just shouldn't be in this game - non-consensual act, which Hates Children/dazed…

Can you be more transparent about the content that won't be added? Still so many people are asking for the open world, color wheel, cars, etc. It would be helpful if you made it official what content won't be added. People are still secretly hoping you will include cars in game - but if you don't plan to do it, it would be…

Can we expect more community created packs like Laundry Day or Nifty Knitting? Maybe this time though we could decide about gamepack or expansion pack? Also I want to ask about these two stuffpacks - why didn't you include ironing in Laundry Day? When you compare Laundry Day to Paranormal, Laundry Day has less content -…

Pronouns - Yes or No? Possible or not? Are you considering them? I know that the most common argument is that you can't do them because of languages that don't support gender neutral language. I would want to say as someone whose language indeed doesn't have gender neutral form, that this is not indeed entirely true. While…

Many mentions of LGBTQ representation have been done. Now I love the representation your game gives us. But I want to mention what is the game lacking still in, especially when one Guru said that all sims are treated equally, but this is still not the case. More gender options and pronouns are must. But then also…

Why don't you make more culture themed updates? I do lovve that you are trying, but more often updates related to different cultures would be fantastic. And how do you decide what culture will you do? And why is the game so much american themed? The Sims is global game, it seems weird to be so focused on America but not on…

Why did you only invited GammeChangers from english speaking countries to build houses for the Snowy Escapes? Or why do almost always only collaborate with gamechangers from english speaking countries? There are Gamechangers from Europe or Asia, who did not get same opportunities. I don't understand why japanesse…

What is your reaction to the backlash that caused The Sims 4 Journey to Batoo? I know there are some players enjoying this pack, but majority of fan base didn't like it.

Something that players including me noticed, is that you changed the skin color of some Sims from previous games - well you only "whitewashed" some Sims, not the other way around. For example, Bella and Cassandra Goth, Nina and Dina Caliente, Liberty, Dirk Dreamer - Casaandra who was black in TS2 is now white, Dina and…

Another hot topic in our Twitter community has been behaviour and actions of some of the SimGurus. Some SimGurus blocked some members of hid their comments (one Guru hid comment about one feature, that is hurting SA victims). One of the Gurus then told that reason for blocking is personal attack and everything else is a…

I want to ask about the GameChanger program. It has been a hot topic these last months in the Twitter community. Some of the GameChangers broke some rules / did really questionable things. But their behaviour hasn't been addresses so far. For example, recently one GC shared his NSFW photos on Twitter to minors. There…

Do you know about the upcoming indie simulation game Paralives? Have your team already checked out the development of this game? If so, what is your opinion? Do you like it so far, is there anything that interested you? And do you think you might even take some inspiration from the game? Like round walls, that are really…

I really appreaciate that you are trying to bring more representation into game and I like the way you decided to highlight some Simmers - for example during the Black History Month by highligting black creators. But I have to ask though - so far, it seems that the only focus we've got, in game and on social media, is…
Howdy, Stranger!
