Dear The Sims Team, thank you so much for this opportunity to talk to you directly knowing that the concerns will be read. We love the fact that you listen to us and want The Sims 4 to be the best it can be. As for the feedback, these are some of my concerns:
1. Is there any plans to overhaul plantsims? they are currently the most underutilized occult life state and haven't had much love since a permanent way to turn into them temporary was added in Seasons & Cool Kitchen stuff.
I don't expect a fully fleshed out skill tree, just for them to feel like they did in previous main games.
2. As we approach 2sLGBTQA+ Pride 2021, I'd love to know if there are plans for an upgrade to the gender panel. It would be pretty much expected that we see the ability to change our sims pronouns as well as have a more gender neutral frame.
3. With the negative discourse surrounding Journey to Batuu, is there a chance that it gets a minor overhaul and get the added fine print that it is in fact a Galaxy's Edge pack.
4. When Snowy Escape was announced and we were told that the climbing machine in Fitness would work with the climbing skill, I had hoped that the skill would have made it to Base game so that we could see more variety to the machine. Is there still plans for that to be a thing.
5. Is there any plans for more aspirations to be added to older packs/upcoming packs that aren't just a tutorial for the pack? For many in the community, it feels pretty stale when the new aspirations are just a tutorial for the new skills/features of the pack and would like a challenge of sorts.
Thanks again for creating an opportunity to see the positive and constructive feedback of the community!
