  • :confused: Literally I was coming onto the forums today to see if anyone else had posted about this... I cry!! Teens are #1 on my list for "I want deeper gameplay", dang it! I tweeted @SimGuruFrost about it, hopefully he replies...
  • I was about to post this when I saw you already had! lol. The coolest thing about these videos was that I've been playing The Sims 2 solidly for a very, very long time - and I still play it regularly. And there were things in here that I didn't know about. That's incredible to me. So much heart, so much depth, so much…
  • I feel it would be a bit odd to be a famous knitter. As others have mentioned: Laundry Day: knitted items need to be hand-washed Outdoor Retreat: knitting around a campfire Parenthood: knitting increases emotional control and motor skills. Toddlers also able to throw balls of yarn around, maybe bang knitting needles on…
  • You actually can age them up quite easily - when your sim ages up, you get a pop-up asking if you'd like to age some townies with them. So if they have townie friends you can keep them growing up alongside your sims. With mods, you can age up more than the default one or two, and you can also (with mods) just hack the…
  • Oh gosh I've made too many mistakes over the years to count... I started with the Sims 1 and I'm pretty sure I never accidentally killed my Sims, which was a surprise? The first Sims 2 mistake I can remember making was having my first ever sim marry Goopy Gilscarbo, who turned out to be a romance sim and I decided I hated…
  • Yes to all of this. Plus: Unique teenager aspirations More aspirations in general Cars? Baby overhaul. Loving everybody's ideas in this thread!
  • Why don't they just utilize the styled looks a little better? Have more of them, and have townies get into those saved outfits more often than not? I guess there are a LOT of townies so you'd need a lot more styled looks... but surely something like that could be possible?
  • Oh okay that makes more sense! I think the most "teenagery" teens were actually the Sims 2 teens to be honest, but I liked a lot of the interactions that the Sims 3 brought in for them, especially in generations. I'd still prefer them to be shorter by standard, and then you could height slider them taller if you wanted to.…
  • Same with Australians :D
  • Fair enough lol :p o:) I still want something different for the teens and kids then! hahaha. Yeah, that was a great pack altogether ^_^ I especially loved the learning to drive thing... *nudge nudge* hey EA, how about you release cars with that as an option for teen sims? I don't know if I'm just a horrible human being who…
  • I'm a bit confused by what point you're making here? haha. Are you saying that you use a height slider in the Sims 4 and it helps your teens to look more realistic? ... Cos that is just supporting the idea that they ought to be shorter, which was my original point haha. Interesting to read that a lot of you aren't bothered…
  • Dear sweet goodness gracious. I've never had that glitch... I'm thanking my lucky stars.
  • It's a shame I can't stand playing The Sims on a mobile, or the way that game works in general, because I love, love love the look of some of those baby options. "Let infant crawl" would be sooooooooooo amazing and cute. Also, the fact that the babies also have options - I love that they can "cry for [a specific] Sim". It…
  • Stop the press. This diagram is AMAZING. What do you mean. Sims team, pay attention?? I love this.
  • Preach ***raises hands*** I like your suggestions. Some people IRL are actual emotional potatoes and others are basket-cases, and it would be good to see that in-game. I agree in that I don't think they could ever do away with the emotions system, but it can and should be expanded upon and enhanced, made more realistic (by…
  • Personally I feel that issues like miscarriage & disease is better left to the modders, unless they come with an in-game on/off toggle. For me, I like to play with those elements of realism. I think it would enhance gameplay if unhealthy elders could get sick with diseases and need to take care of themselves or they might…
  • I love legacy challenges too!! The furthest I ever got was about Generation 5 in a Sims 3 legacy I think... wow, that's really sad when you think about it hahaha. I need to do better XD But I always found that in TS3 the save files would get too corrupted :( I've started a legacy challenge in Sims 2 and Sims 4 before that…
  • Yeah I definitely agree that there is a trick to playing the teens as teens, but I guess I would like it more if I didn't have to direct them to do all of those things, so it felt more like they had personalities of their own. Haha I worked with teenagers for 8 years and I was taller than most of them ;) Again, it's not…
  • Well for ages with Sims 3 the biggest thing was doing Legacy Challenges, which came from TS2. So I'd say it's a TS4 thing?
  • @Karon I honestly forget that Magnolia Promenade exists. So yeah, good shout :D Sims team should really look at that. I don't actually have RoM so I haven't experienced Glimmerbrook. I've seen it mentioned a lot here as something that needs improving, so that doesn't really make me excited to buy it in all honesty :neutral:
  • I wish that we'd had some space to expand upon why we picked the packs for improvement that we did? I picked City Living - we ought to be able to build our own apartments, add more floors, and also (I dream and wish unrealistically, lol) visit our neighbours without a loading screen. Parenthood, because the character…
  • Absolute legend NPC from Sims 2. He walks around like a creep, laughing maniacally, and pick-pocketing your Sims. I took these pics in my game yesterday :D
  • In this render, they've made an effort to make the teenager look shorter to add that visual distinction, and for my money the family looks 10x more realistic that way. Another example...
  • Yes, exactly. When I hear the Guru's say that they don't devote resources to family gameplay because "not many people play with families" it really grinds my gears and makes me mad... Maybe we would, if there was more gameplay?? Shouldn't the team see that data and go, "oh wow, we're losing the family players. How can we…
  • Hey Pam, Yeah I see your point! But the thing is, we should ALREADY be up in arms about the lack of gameplay and CAS items for toddlers / children and teens haha. That's kind of my whole point :D I agree that parenthood added some fantastic gameplay features, but I'd love it if my teens would act a little more crazy so my…
  • Yeeessss I love your post. I always really miss the "play" menu from The Sims 2 that the kids had! It was so cute. And in TS3 they had some fun games and could play tag and really act like kids. I'd love to see a return of the "Grow Up" aspiration (I used to have a mod for one, I'll have to see if it's been updated!) Which…
  • Me. I'd love to be able to have a "walk down the aisle" interaction with Mum, Dad, Grandpa or whoever... a "wait under the arch", I'd love Bridesmaids and best men, first dances, speeches, a photographer setup to get some awesome family photos and bridal party photos... toasts and bridal tables - or the ability to assign…
  • I voted Bella Goth, the Landgraabs (they were a lot of fun in the old console Sims games!) And other - Brandi Broke 😁
  • Hey, thanks for your response. Yeah I know that some teens are taller than their parents, but this game isn't about 100% reality for me. It's a game so it's a version of reality, it's a simulation, and things are often "represented" and characatured in a Sims format, which is why that visual distinction becomes important.…
  • Ski resorts sound cool and all, but I feel like we still need to focus on basics first :D I upvoted everything to do with deeper personalities and relationships. I really hope some of that will be coming soon!
