    RIP rabbithole schools.

    I'm going to miss the freedom you gave me to play the other household sims while the kiddies were away at school.... *sigh*

    I'm sure there will probably still be an option not to do active schooling.

    yeah there's got to be @Sharonia... for example what else would one do if one had a high schooler and also a parent employed in an active career? (or business owner?)

    I'm pretty sure it'll function like the Get To Work careers... that is to say, there'll be a "Send Alone" option that'll send the Sim into a rabbit hole. Meaning you probably won't have anything to worry about.

    I’m glad bands don’t seem to be included in the school pack. I want Pro bands and careers. And music/performing arts deserves its own game pack.

    Yeah, I don't think music has ever been "done right" in the game.

    Bands in the Sims 2 University and the Sims 3 Late Night just played one of three not dissimilar songs on loop with no lyrics (not to mention the difficulty in getting gigs in the latter).

    Meanwhile singers in Superstar got sing one of three songs, while in Sims 3 showtime it was one of 10 songs, each of a different genre.

    I'd like a dedicated music pack with a much larger repertoire of music, that way you can specialise in a genre, and have your musicians feel more unique.

    They have added all kinds of garbage music genres to sims 4 yet oddly enough rock music is missing.

    It would be very simple to add all the instruments for a TS3 style rock band, or whatever genre you prefer. We have the keyboards and guitars, all we need would be the bass and drums. I've made no secret about wanting an active singing career. How hard can it be to add since the basic framework is there with the acting career? I can't understand why after all this time it's still missing. Live bands could follow that same framework too.

    I'm a jazz lover and it would be the ultimate dream to have trumpets, saxophones, clarinets, and trombones so we could do the genre properly as both a band and singer. It would never work in this game but what a trip it would be if your female jazz singer could lounge seductively on top of the piano while she croons. You know really go all the way in recreating the atmosphere. I would be deliriously happy if our singers could stand at a mic in front of a band and do their thing. And while we're at it, how about so more variety to the vocal styles? When your singer tops out now they all sound the same, all super polished and fancy. Some grittier, more soulful, raw emotional tones would be so welcome and would make them more individual.

    I would be fun if we could coordinate a sim singing on the microphone with another accompanying them on guitar and bass. Technically you can simulate it now, but in my game at least, they aren't working together. It's just three sims doing their own thing at the same time in the same general vicinity. On the surface at least we're so close to having these things that I can't understand why they aren't there or why we've never had an explanation why they can't be there.

    I can not stand the way the sims 4 time frame is going. The previous games feel more authentic to me because they were set in 90s-2000s time frames. I'm not interested in the 2019-2022 sims 4 fashion, style, speech patterns, idle animations (E.G. Cell phone addiction).

    I know it is unreasonable of me to expect older styles in a new game, but I think this will cause the long term fan base to fade out.

    I'm not the fan of the focus on social media and such in TS4. I know it "reflects real life" and whatever but for some reason seeing sims be glued to their phones and computers annoys me. And like, look, as a geek I understand the love for the computer but man does it make for boring gameplay. And all those freaking phone addicts... let's just say my sim was basically my spirit animal when he got invited to "hang out with friends", saw ALL of them messing around with their phones, let out a maniacal laugh, then proceeded to autonomously insult the nearest person.

    Hate seeing creators on Tumblr post their political view points on Twitter. It turns me off from their content and I don't wanna get it anymore.

    I want opportunities from TS3 to return, and all of the phone calls from stalkers to end. The new events are boring, I'd rather just remove them all from the calendar. Also can't stand my Sim trying to sleep and get a phone call. Sims no longer have any peace whatsoever.

    TS3 was so much better.

    @DaniRose2143 what gets me is, they clearly have the code working since sims can already "Sing Together" on holidays. The sims coordinate their sound with each other very nicely. That's all you'd need for a band.

    @mightysprite It makes no sense. It's clear when the subject comes up on here that there are a lot of simmers who'd love to have these activities and careers even. Why shouldn't the sims in the entertainer career get to do their jobs actively. Stand up comics are another career option that should be active.

    I don't like the fact that they had the characters' pronouns in the new trailer. Inclusivity is awesome and the whole pronoun customization update cool. But just in the high school trailer, it seemed... cringey.

    Not sure if unpopular, but haven't been interested in the sponsorships/real-world content that has been introduced, nor did I like it in Sims 3 much. High fashion tends to look harsh on the eyes/not practical for everyday wear and other larger brands don't seem to do anything for the sims or game, other than lining EA's pockets.

    I don't need an underwater lot for Island Living pack refresh. I want better mermaids and to be able to push sims into the volcano :naughty:

    I agree, I find the whole pronouns trend to be cringy anyway. Happy for people who wanted them though, even though it's personally not for me.

    I feel the same way, I've stopped following many creators because of their social media posts getting out of hand and using their accounts to start talking about their political beliefs. Like it's fine if that's what you believe in, but please keep it off your sims-focused social, not everyone is following you because they want your political hot-takes.

    TS3 was a hot mess, but I would much rather have the traits and aspirations from that version over what we have now. We had way more aspirations and traits. And the traits actually felt like they had some effect on your sim. I miss having 5 trait slots and actually having to compromise on which traits to leave off of your sim. Now, I often have a hard time finding three traits I even want. Most of the time the third trait is just something to fill that last slot because my OCD won't let me leave it open.

    I actually enjoy kits and would love some 70's and 80's themed ones

    It seemed totally appropriate to me. Lots of bullying and harassment of LGBTQ students occurs in high school.

    Sims Medieval should have been way more supported than it was. Never even bothered to add horses to it which make way more sense there than in a modern sims game.
    They could make more spin off's like that.

    I miss being able to write books that were so much quicker to make than the ones in TS4. I could have made a living pumping out fiction/non-fiction each day. Also the writer's block is annoying, I miss getting uncomfortably tense and having to just play for a short while before starting again.

    I also miss writing comics, alien invasions with UFOs, the jetpack, and a lot of stuff from 3's Ambitions pack.

    And suddenly, my witch doesn't always gain spellcaster points after leveling up. It's driving me nuts.

    I think that last one is a bug, because I've been getting it with vampires and werewolves.
