An overhaul of the family interactions so grandma isn't trying to set up her married grandson on a blind date with a total stranger (among other interactions that do more to disrupt family immersion than the lack of activities for kids. Like being sad for 2 days over the death of a grandparent you never met...)
I agree about the animations lol. You're right, that's the whole point to the game 🤣! It's one of the major things I feel is lacking.
Lol@ get a life
Swimming in the sea in all locations
Swimming in the sea in all locations
I could go on........
2. Rock bands (or at least a drum kit, electric and bass guitars)
3. Freed babies 😄
I think your idea about weakness for our sims is really cool @LiELF
yes I would like some packs that had all gameplay with no new world
just so we could get more game play @HeyItsKoffee
oh and I miss burglars to
I hope you get your wishes @Ennael
and welcome to the forum
The ability to make our Sims part animal, like werewolves or dog Sims and cat Sims and llama Sims
More quirky packs like Strangerville
(I'm cheating and adding a fourth: improved family relationships)
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
well it sounds like you want Swimming in the sea in all locations lol
that would be nice
Werewolves
more development for Elder Sims
1. THE Very Top Want for me is Romance - There's very little in the game right now. Your Sim can meet someone, get engaged, married and have a kid on the way within a couple hours. I know some Simmers like that, but I wish finding a partner was a more meaningful, gradual process with all the necessary actions to accomplish that added.
Bring back all the lovely animations we've already enjoyed such as slow dancing, I miss that SO much. Also, cuddling/spooning in bed, REAL make-out on the couch, playing footsie/table proposals, the photobooth and add new stuff such as holding hands, cuddling while star/cloudgazing, scheduled dates, more lingerie, wedding attire/accouterments, etc., etc. Well anyway, there's numerous threads on here listing all the romance stuff Simmers want, so I'll stop.
2. More aware/reactive Sims - Cheating, fighting, vampires, ghosts, etc. Our Sims need to have stronger reactions that last more than a few minutes or until they walk by a 'nicely decorated' painting. Bring back the cool down period for these things and implement a fear emotion.
3. Body hair - Just some chest hair would suffice, but I'd love more than that.
Bonus: Doorbells!
Double Bonus: I know you said don't mention packs but, well...if you had asked that I'd have said; Farming, Hobbies and maybe a pack called something like, 'Get Moving' that would include all kinds of vehicles (including multi-Sim boats) and their related careers/NPCs.
Happy Simming!
1) A new empty world a la Newcrest, or even buyable worlds like I heard there was in Sims 3.
2) Something totally new that we haven't had before. Surprise me!
3) Activities that Sims do together, like Marco Polo and Playing tag for the kids. My Sims don't seem to do stuff together autonomously.
4) Fix all the bugs
> 1) To stop hearing about how “expensive” and “time consuming” it is to create animations. It’s a cartoon, It’s a video game. They move. That’s like the main point. I don’t know why some Maxis comments are like “how dare Simmers ask for more animations! The nerve!” I’m not reading a book here, I’m trying to play your controllable cartoon. 🤷🏽♀️
>
> 2) Every single hobby that can possibly fit. Bands, sports, craft making, horseback riding. I’ll take anything. Call it “Get a Life!”
>
> 2b) Less leaning on career and skill reward rooms and outfits. Instead add in cooler activities that can be unlocked as Sims progress through their job and hobby levels.
>
> 3) When a friend calls to invite my Sim out, it’d be cool to be able to say “sounds fun meet you in an hour” so my Sim can finish up their water drinking first.
Spent some time reading through responses and the biggest one for me would be the third one here! I almost never have my sim go out with someone when they ask because I want them to finish the thing they are doing before leaving!
Firefighter/EMT Career option (Could be a single career that's split like the chef/bartender line, not even looking for it to be active)
Farming
Hobbies, Including bands (seems like it could be added using the clubs mechanic)
Bonus: The ability to answer a call of "wanna hang out" with "sure, meet in an hour?" so you can finish the thing your sim was doing before leaving, would also allow them to "get ready" like putting on an outfit or taking a shower which would add some realism to the interaction.
Ever since summer and winter categories were introduced with Seasons the latter was totally neglected, so I really hope for some Winter Whatever pack that keeps my sims warm.
As for two and three, bug fixes are always welcome.
No. You clearly have done zero research on the matter and have never animated something in your life.
Animation is one of the most tedious, time-consuming, frustrating experiences in existence. We are not talking about pulling a rig into Blender and moving bones to create a simple hug as most Sims players do, it is far more laborious than that.
To make a drinking animation, you have to animate the neck, head, eyes, mouth, chin, nose, shoulders, arms, fingers, and the object as a base. You then need to consider the fact that the Sim could be doing something else, which you also have to animate. Is the Sim talking while drinking? You have to make that, too. You are not making one animation, you are making a lot of them for one purpose.
Then, they have to make sure these animations fit into the style of the game, work with objects, do not cause weird glitches, and do not cause performance issues as the animation is too long and/or too short.
When I did animation, we spent a month making a simple handshake. A month. When we submitted it, the animation did not work and we had to go back and check each key, each frame, each split-second of that animation to figure out what caused the issue.
So, EA has a right to tell people to chill. If you want more animations, download some rigs, download Blender, and do it yourself. Judging from how high and mighty you are about it, you should be adept at it. I await your animations and content.
As for my three points:
1. I would love to see more content for children, such as sleepovers, bunkbeds, forts, et cetera
2. A hobbies pack
3. More traits and personality for our Sims
