Hello!

Since a lot of people already have given awesome gameplay related feedback, I'm going to mainly focus on... should we call it interaction design and simplification when it comes to using CAS, build mode etc. I find that CAS and build mode has the potential to become way easier and faster to use!

So, what I would like to see with...

PUBLIC LOTS:

  • The ability to have a split lot type. For example, a lot that is both a café AND a park.

  • For all bars, food carts etc on public lots to be staffed automatically without me having to pay to hire staff. Sometimes I build a club with multiple bars. Or I want some food carts in my park.



BUILD MODE:

  • I would like to be able to tag, favorite and sort items manually and then search for them.

  • Improve the catalog search function so that I don't have to type in the exact name of the item, but rather what the object actually is.

  • Let me lock in my search filters. Sometimes I want to build with only one pack and it's frustrating to constantly have to turn it back on after cloning thing, for example.

  • Don't allow custom content to show up when I filter my search to base game only, or give me both options (base game ONLY w/o mods & base game w/ BG compatible mods as two different check boxes).

  • Let me expand and/or reshape the catalogue window.

  • Let me apply wall trims manually, as I would with walls or fences. They don't need to be indoors just because i removed some flooring around a set of stairs.

  • Enable changing the light color of lamps in build mode.



CAS


  • THIS ONE I FIND IMPORTANT:
    Let me copy all my edits to every outfit choice!!! Kind of how you can apply the vampires look to their dark form but with clothing styles, make up, accessories etc. It's annoying to reapply the same blush seven times, I just want to copy paste.

  • Let me have more than two rows/columns, or resize them through drag-n-drop . And as with build mode, let me sort, favorite and tag items.


Thank you for working so hard on making this awesome game even better!
I really appreciate this opportunity to leave feedback and open up discussions.
Have a wonderful weekend!
