Bird Kit
Now that they opened the door with Ravens in the upcoming expansion, there is no longer any excuse not to put multiple birds back into the game. I want a whole kit designed around birds. Fun cages. Different perches. Lots of species of both large and small birds. Maybe even the option of feeding a bird from your hand. I do not care if they are found in the wild or can be collected. I just want pet birds back in the game. Oh, and no death by pet birds ... just a fun pet to own. And if they cannot do this in a kit, then another type of pack. I miss my Sims 3 birds.
Vacation themed EP idea
Idea for a vacation themed expansion pack. 3 themed worlds based around real world locations. Livable worlds. A skill specific to each location that can be learned by visiting the location. This skill could be craft based like ceramics or activity based like surfing. Harvestables unique to each location Souvenirs unique to each location Festival for each location with unique foods, souvenirs, and activities. Culture based skill for each world similar to the one from Jungle adventure but with unlocks for each level. Level up by exploring the world, interacting with locals, and trying new foods. Each level unlocks new experiences, Level 1- new recipes, Level 2- new socials, Level 3- unlocks new craftables on wood crafting table, Level 4- additional recipes, Level 5- unlocks unique furniture. New boats, bikes etc. New cas and bb based around locations. Career that requires travel Ability to book multi destination trips Ability for kids/teens to be homeschooled Ability to see what the weather is like in other neighborhoods As far as locations go, I would like to see something Australian. I would love to see more from Asia. Iceland is another destination that interests me. I would really like to see France, with 3 neighborhoods 1 based around Paris, 1 Provence, and 1 based around the Rivieria. Thoughts?
My ideas for new expansion packs.
Dear sims, i see what you are doing for others with expansion pack ideas, please grant my wishes. Many of these are commonly asked for and not new ideas, so I'm sure they have at least been discussed. Regardless I will ask once again. Here are my ideas: Sims 4 Animal Adventure New world like safari/outback theme type theme, with elements of Aboriginal or African culture. Can have a sky scraper downtown section, perhaps another smaller suburb section, and then an outback/ safari section comparable to snowy escape where you can go on adventures and unlock new lots/ see new areas Exotic animal career: can have two diff paths. One like the marine biologist in island paradise, and the other one like an exotic pet vet/care taker New lot could be animal sanctuary lot? Could have enclosures for exotic animals but allow them to roam free, so similar to a zoo but with more freedom. Could have skills animal husbandry or something. Also can unlock habitat items and animals in careers. Most importantly, new animals and pets! Can have household exotic pets like bunnies, snakes, turtles, etc. but also more non playable animals for the safari like tigers, lions, hippo, crocodile, etc. Sims 4 Rock and Roll 70s & hippie themed packed. If not just 70s could be multiple decades, perhaps called something like “playing through decades” BANDS! Sims playing together New instruments like bass, electric guitar, drums More options for custom song writing (could choose a genre, mood, instruments played, write a description). Sims could send it to a radio station and have it get played to get famous Also, more options for kids/teens at school so they can join choir/orchestra or also start a band. Subculture feature: similar to club system, you can design for own sub culture. The diff between this and clubs is that the sims assign themselves a subculture/are born into it rather than pick the sims within the club. This way many sims can be within a culture/ it’s less limiting. There can be open and closed subcultures and sims can appeal to join closed subcultures. If sims have traits that don’t align with the subculture they are in, they can get a “poser” trait or outlet. Also, holidays can be specific to a subculture, so you can have religions without sims explicitly saying that. Same with lot traits. As far as new traits, they’re can be “traditional/ mainstream or free spirited/alternative”. Traditional sims get along better with other traditional sims and are weary of free spirited sims. They are prone to doing traits/ activities within their subculture and can get a negative moodlet if they stray too much. Free spirited sims are the opposite, they are friendly and open to all subcultures and like to learn about other Simss but are weary of traditional sims. They may get a negative moodlet if they repeat too many of the same activities or don’t explore beyond their subcultures.. New lot: recording studio. Idk if this already exists but if it does it could use a revamp. If not then radio station, concert venue, etc for lots New world. One idea is New York with a downtown neighborhood like Times Square, a neighborhood like Brooklyn with townhomes, and a Hamptons inspired neighborhood for rich and famous. Or revamp: expansion of the LA world with a playable beach and more beachfront lots, nicer city area/downtown. Sims 4 Fairytale. New world. Could go a lot of routes on where it’s based on. Maybe Ireland? Can have an enchanted forest where fairies and other occults live, an island bluff area, and a cute downtown village. there could be some sort of explorer career, where sims have to go on adventures to discover town lore. Like a fairy tail expert one. There could also be a historian career. If sims get advanced enough in fairy tale or writer career, they can either discover new fairy tale worlds or create their own. The worlds can have certain features of the world to adjust like climate patterns, festivals, and common culture/traits in the town. There could be a selection of world styles to select and players can expand upon that (like an island world, mountain world, forest world, city world, etc). I would love for the sims to have large customizable worlds but this probably isn’t realistic, so these could be smaller worlds or have multiple worlds to unlock. Of course, fairies! With skills like the other occults. Could include royalty system with rulers and all that. Sims 4 Arctic Explorer This could be An Alaska or Norway type world. similar to snowy escape in that 3 neighbors, one with a more busy but still quaint downtown near the ocean, a traditional more wooded area with cabins, and alpine type mountains/ forests to explore. Expansion of outdoor retreat. Certainly have cabins and cabin, but more outdoor features. Actual bears, deer, wildlife. Hiking as a skill like climbing. Fishing boats and canoes! That would be so fun. What I’m begging for and wish would’ve been in the sulani world but could instead be included here is active diving like in the sims 3. It was so much fun. You could explore ship wrecks, search for treasure, look for animals, etc. pack could feature components of Inuit culture. Discoverable locations House boats! Again like the Sims 3 This pack could come with hotels. But sims can still live in the world Really what I’m describing is just the sims 3 isla paradiso but since there is already a tropical island world have it be a northern ocean theme I know there are already mermaids so I doubt they’ll do this but could have sirens that have actual skills and abilities like the other occults. Or also include mermaids in this pack but revamp them. Please sims answer my prayers!!! What ideas do you guys have?
We (desperately) need more photo frames.
So I was thinking it would be really great if we could get more photo frames for our in-game pictures. Right now we only have one kind and it really doesn’t fit in older houses. They would look so great both on the furniture and walls. For instance when I play with Vampires, I’d like to have old, oval , more vintage looking photo frames. It would fit so much better in their homes. For my everyday gameplay, I’d like more classic wooden photo frames. Also why not add more shapes. Oval and square for instance. Here are a few examples of what I’m talking about.

Emo folks like the holidays too Update Dog & Cat Beds I honestly would love to the depths of most to be able to tuck them in. Like I do with my own little ones Update Doors Set as Back Door Set as Door to Garage Set Wreath (Front Door Only) Autumn Day of the Dead Diwali Garlic Funeral/Mourning Lunar New Years New Baby New Years Snowflake Day Spooky Day Spring St. Patrick's Day St. Valentine's Day (Love Day) Summer Winter Update Exercise Equipment Sims who aren't bad or messy will wipe the seats down on Gym Machines after use Add Electric Blanket Upgrade to Bed Update Fireplaces Add Clean Interaction Add change flame color like Sims 3 (Bonfire, Campfire, Candles, Fireplace, Torches) Fix the Auto light to not come on until the temperature outside is below 40F Update Gate Add Creaking Sound Affect No Sound Affect Update Grandfather Clock, Cuckoo Clock & Mantle Clocks Wind Set Chime Ode to Joy Westminster Whittingham Chimes at 6AM, Noon, 6PM, Midnight Add Instrument Tuning Cello Guitar Harp Piano Violin Make Curtains & Blinds expandable by half squares for width Animal Update I thin we really need NPC animal especially in the forested areas with all the previous sounds, movements and interactions they had before NPC Wolves in Moonwood Mills Deer in forested area NPC Skunk and messing with it has the same consequence that messing with a real one has Vampires Update Vampires cannot wear silver Jewelry Vampires fear all-white horses and pure white horse will be fearful of all vampires and will know they are vampires immediately. This is a reference to the Dracula from 1979 starring Frank Langella I think it might be cool for evil Vampires to make flowers wilt when they pass by Vampires and Ghosts get a dance animation exclusive to just them. When slow dancing with another Vampire or ghost they will start hovering in midair while doing the dance. Vampires have a favorite Plasma Type Unlockable new Vampire Power - Eclipsing Fog just like Sims 3 Parasols will help to shield a Vampire from the Sun for short periods I would like it if fastidious neat freak Vampires would have an occasional dusting of their coffin & maybe spray something like Febreeze inside it, just for laughs Sims will get the feeling they are being hunted like in Sims 3 If Burglars get introduced Vampires will always attack a Burglar - They always win and when they do, Yum. Like staying in and ordering Take Out. Chance to make the burglar their minion. Forgotten Hollow should get its own Cemetery Lot & Bell Tower Werewolves Update If they don't already have this Werewolves should have the "Smells Like Wet Dog" moodlet after they shower. Werewolves cannot wear silver jewelry or hold canes with a silver handle Weather Update Fog - Light Fog Pea Soup Fog - Thicker fog Eclipsing Fog - Thickest and Supernatural in Nature and a part of a Vampire's learnable powers. Allows a Vampire to walk freely in the daylight but only briefly New Community Lots Agricultural Lot Designation Apiary Dairy Family Farm Orchard Orange Grove Olive Grove Pumpkin Patch Strawberry Patch Vineyard/Nectary Amusement Park Casino Cemetery or Graveyard Graveyards are attached to Churches Cemeteries are their own lot Dance Studio Dog Groomers Fairgrounds Firehouse Fortune Teller's Tea Shop Hotel Martial Arts Dojo Mini Golf Course & Driving Range Poison Garden Police Station Pool HallIf you do a Grim Reaper/Funeral Pack - Cemeteries, Poison Garden, Grim Call-backs, Ghosts & Zombies
Note - I'm a firm believer in cross-pack integration and functionality. If a new pack can have some features that unlock things for a previous pack and it improves or freshens the experience that give the other pack a bit more longevity, then it's worth doing. But what do I know I've only been in sales and marketing for 15 years. This should be a pack that is respectful since it deals with death a difficult subject for some people. However it absolutely must be creepy and atmospheric and detailed. This is also an obvious opportunity to Update Occults/Supernatural aspects as well. If they are doing something with the Grim Reaper they probably have it already figured out about what powers you would have if you are playing as him. This is more a list to complement a pack that would deal with the Grim Reaper, death and related subjects. It also gives me another opportunity to suggests things I've always wanted in game. For what its worth here is what I would like to see. The Grim Reaper - Small Details Bonehilda still has a crush on the Grim Reaper Grim Reaper will again do the ding-d*o*n*g ditch prank from Sims 2 at midnight on Halloween (Spooky Day) if you have 4 Jack O'Lanterns out within 4 tiles of your front door If you have Spooky Day cookies sitting out at Midnight there will be a chance that Grim will show up and take one and raid the nectar supply, which will in turn leave puddle as he is a skeleton Grim Reaper will allow a Sim Ghost to play chess against him and if they win Grim will resurrect the ghost. This references Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal starring Max Von Sydow. The Grim Reaper is cordial but resents Vampires because they are creatures that have cheated Death i.e. Grim The Grim Reaper feels sorry for Zombies but doesn't resent them because it already reaped their soul when they passed away Grim isn't evil they just look that way. They're actual an angel really…an angel of death. Grim only shows their angel wings when they're really furious New Additions to Ambiance Bells in the belfry will toll at Midnight, 6AM, Noon and 6PM. Sunday mornings they will play a familiar tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o19YuGdtvRE Changing Flame Colors for Bonfires, Fireplaces, Fire Pits, Torches and Candles Gates will get a new Upgrade - Creaking Gate, Lubricated Gate. So we can have a bit of ambiance noise for scary places. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foUyyBM2ins Grandfather Clock Update - I absolutely think we need more sound ambiance in game. Especially with anything spooky as it sets the mood. Choice of Chimes Ode to Joy Westminster Whittingham Tolls at Midnight, 6AM, Noon, & 6PM Winding the Clock I'd also suggest doing the mantle clocks too along with chime sound more appropriate to them. If by some miracle they were amenable I would make cuckoo clocks have chimes at the same intervals Outside Animal Sound Ambiance - If we don't already have it (I cannot remember) Bats Screeching Crows Cawing Owls Hooting Wolves Howling in the Forrest Update to the Fireplace Upgrade Autolight - Only automatically turns on when the outside temperature is 40 degrees or below Create a cleaning Interaction for the Fireplace to clean out ashes. There are people continually asking for additional chores. Update sinks to have a Set as Kitchen Sink, Set as Bathroom Sink Set Front Door Interactions Sims will enter & exit through the front door when exiting or entering from other lots. Back doors will still be what they use to go out into the backyard Allows for the selection of a wreath for Holiday Decorations if you have Seasons Selectable Holiday/Season Autumn Day of the Dead Diwali Funeral Garlic Wreath Love Day Lunar New Years New Years Snowflake Day Spring Spooky Day St. Patrick's Day Set as Back Door Interaction Big Things Population Control Window Decide what Occult creatures can be in a town with a tic box. Or none at all Aliens Fairies - if we get them Ghosts Mermaids Spellcasters Vampires Werewolves Zombies Assign a numerical value to each creature you select Make half a town aliens - to achieve a future or alien world Make the whole town Vampires if you want a Salem's Lot Scenario Make all potential NPCs one of each kind to make a supernatural town Add Celebrities, Paparazzi and Tourists to the population window choices New CAS Categories Costumes - I strongly wish we could plan our Costume Party Attire better Funeral Attire New CAS Assets Under Eye Shadowing otherwise known as eye bags or under eye circles Canes Carved Cherry wood with a Silver Duck Handle Wood with the plain curved handle Elegant Ebony wood with a Gold Dragon Handle (Great for Vampires) Vampires can't touch silver Elegant Ebony with a Gold Wolf (Great for Werewolves) Silver isn't good for Werewolves either Costumes should also become a CAS clothing category.

Sims 4 “Free Will”
Sims 4 “Free Will”. There are so many suggestions to make the Sims 4 better or adding elements that one thinks will make their game play more fun. I enjoy all the add ons that are offered. There has been so many things added to the game I believe “Free Will” has been lost. Since the Lovestruck ep (which I don’t have yet) there has been major bugs or glitches across the board. I believe “Free Will” the AI mechanics needs to be looked at to enhance the game play and to make sure it’s keeping up with everything new in the game. It really is frustrating when your sim is standing around doing nothing, or not interacting the way Sims should. The Sims need more “Free Will”, they get confused at times at what they need to do. I really have had no major issues with this until I started adding the add ons.
More Inclusive Holiday Options
I am honestly amazed that this hasn't been implemented yet. There is no reason all Sims should universally get a negative moodlet for not participating in a holiday. Please make space for more diverse traditions! If I want one house to celebrate Hannukah and another house to celebrate Christmas, I should be able to. Allow calendars to be individualized to each household. There could still be an option to apply holidays to all households, maybe where you edit holidays there can be a toggle, just for this house or for all houses. But the option really needs to be there. I'm just saying. Diversity is soooo important to my Sim world. I love incorporating and exploring with different sim cultures. It really kinds of ruins it for me when I have to use cheats to remove negative moodlets for a Sim that doesn't even subscribe to that tradition. I know you can just stick with one household until the holiday is over but I very frequently switch households multiple times in one Sim day, sometimes even more so on holidays. Pleeeeeeaase add this feature!
EXPANSION WITH VEHICLES! Why not?
I would really like the directors, creators, etc. of the company to look at my post. I have a question. Why doesn't the company create an expansion for The Sims 4 that includes vehicles and even professions based on cars or something like that? In the old games of the franchise we had cars, buses and even helicopters. Why don't we have them now? Please! Create an expansion with cars, motorcycles, racing driver professions, etc. PLEASE, EA!!New expansion/pack ideas
Clothing. Most people that play the sims like the realism aspect of the game, which is why a lot of people download all of these mods. I don't know about other people, but I don't wear the same everyday outfit, swimsuit, or workout clothes. Now, you can go back into cas and change up your look, but that takes too long. We should have an option in our settings or something to get stuck with whatever outfit we originally set for our sim in create a sim. We would have to buy all new outfits online or at a store. There could be postal delivery workers that leave packages at your door (like groceries and pizza get left). There's a chance you got the wrong size for your sim or the parcel was damaged in some way. You could go to your closet and set up 7 days worth of outfits, that way you could use a past sims feature and wear everyday outfit 1, 2, etc. The careers could be modeling or being a seamstress. New items could be a runway or a sewing machine. Another idea, Disneyland or disney world. I don't know what rights would be like to get something like that, but you could have coasters and rides like in the high school years neighborhood. You could also have theme park themed foods and merchandise. You could even make it into just a vacation world. You could make hotels like in the sims 3 where you choose your room. Make reservations. The bibbidi bobbidi boutique could be added for those little sims. You could also have an option to book the sims disney cruise vacation option. Bring back the stroller feature for the little kids you bring. Have meltdowns over long waits in lines. Have the option to buy the fast pass tickets on the computer. Get photos with the park characters. Just because I KNOW every simmer loves the drama, you could also make a story mode version of like a dating show. I'm thinking "the bachelor", or "love is blind", shows of that nature. It could be a vacation option. You would most likely want to establish your sim's career before you go because you wouldn't want to tell potential partners in this world that you're unemployed, and could maybe even preset that quick, so that nobody there or at least most people that would be there wouldn't liked unemployed sims. When you choose to vacation there, you would get the option to confirm that you want to be on the game show. When you enter, you enter the house and there's preset and random drama events that go down. You could have separate locations set for special dates you win, Game day areas, or the beach. You could add the surfing and yachting skills. If your sim couple wins the show, you could win a lot of simoleons, and choose next steps with your sim partner. Like an option for them to move in with you or get engaged, etc. If your sims losses, you could stay in contact with other players. You can continue to watch the show on your TV at home, and there could be a chance your sims partner chooses to leave the show to be with you anyways or stay and hookup with someone else, breaking your sims heart. Traits could be ruthless or heart of gold or something. I have more ideas, but these would be AMAZING!Option to Rotate BEFORE Placing Gallery Uploads in Build & Buy?
Some builds are elaborate and the game has difficulty rotating them quickly once they've been placed, moreso than it would appear to have if it knew in advance that we'd want to place the build in a different orientation from the outset. I suspect that this is because rotation after the fact has to account for other potential issues, such as objects which could be on the lot which wouldn't have survived being uploaded to the gallery (or Sims from a paused Live Mode, for that matter). So, if it wouldn't be too much trouble... could we see something... anything... to indicate what orientation the game is about to use before it does so, giving us the opportunity to alter that in advance? Because the builds in question are so elaborate, I'm not asking for anything comprehensive. A mesh silhouette of the blueprint (similar to how move and rotate behave prior to starting their work) would easily handle the vast majority of cases.
Update Idea??/New Pack Idea??
I feel like it would be great if maybe something along the lines of maybe 'Legacy Pack' or 'Nostalgia Pack' where it includes stuff from other Sims games that aren't in the sims 4 like for example, burglars. A good channel that compares sims 4 to the other games would be https://youtube.com/@theredplumbob?feature=shared So it would be great if they added a pack including everything/most that was left out of the Sims 4 that was in the other games like Sims 3 or Sims 2.Please, please fix the townie outfits. I can't take it anymore.
We REALLY need these random townie outfits to be fixed, ASAP. And it seems the more packs you have, the more outrageous the randomly generated outfits become. I think having or being able to save premade outfits are a great idea, that would make townie makeovers so much easier. Or at the very least, there should be a specific selection of outfits that have been put together by an actual person (Devs or otherwise) for the algorithm to choose from. The randomly generated Sims and their outfits are just a bit too, well, random. It is way too time consuming to fix every weird looking townie and their outfits. But I feel like I don't really have a choice because playing with them looking like that really bothers me lol. I also don't appreciate when I spend 3 hours in CAS meticulously planning 5 perfect outfits for every category....And then I see that sim out and about still in the most absurd get up ever. This not only happens to NPCs, but also my active or played households as well. Like why is my recently revamped Mortimer in a purple sequence vest, hiking boots, super short gyms shorts, with his eyebrow pierced and wearing a top hat...... Maybe its just because I have more packs now but I don't remember it ever being this bad before. This problem has become very pronounced. Also, even more than just the clothes, random generated townies even just look weird physically. The characteristics they end up with just don't fit together. Surely there has got to be a better algorithm to make normal looking townies (And by normal I just mean not a bizarre mish-mash of features. And not being dressed like an alien who saw a clown once and thinks this is how all humans dress) LikeNon-household sims shouldn’t harvest
Butlers, ghosts (with haunted lot trait), neighbors, tend to harvest plants aka steal them. I don’t think gardening services do this. I wish they would stop, especially the ghosts! I can lock out the others, but ghosts just walk in. I turned off the haunted lot trait but I really would like to keep it on.
Request Ray Tracing Support And DirectX 12 Feature To The Sims 4
Hello EA Team, I hope this message finds you. I am writing you to request the addition of ray tracing support and DirectX 12 inThe Sims 4. As a Sims Player, I believe that incorporating ray tracing technology would significantly enhance the visual experience for players like on the other games. Here are a few reasons why this feature would be beneficial: Improved Realism: Ray tracing can provide more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections, making the game world feel more immersive and lifelike. Enhanced Graphics: With ray tracing and DirectX 12, the graphical quality of The Sims 4 would be elevated, attracting both new players and retaining current ones who seek high-quality visuals. And the new API which is better than the DirectX 11 what you released last time. Futureproofing: As gaming technology advances, having ray tracing support would ensure thatThe Sims 4 remains competitive and up to date with modern gaming standards. I believe that adding ray tracing would not only improve the gameplay experience but also showcase EA’s commitment to innovation and quality. Thank you for considering this request. Plus, can you include DirectX Ray-Tracing. The supported GPUs are going to be in the attachment. For the Ray-Tracing which needs RTX 2050 or Higher Best regards, Nikolai Malabed
How CAS can Improve in 2025
I love Create a Sim but as the years have past it has become clear there are more limitations than I'd like so here’s my list of 31 improvements I think CAS needs to shine. Separate age and laugh lines under skin detail into their specific categories like brow, cheek, eye, and mouth detail. Allow bangs and fringes to be added separately to any hairstyle. Introduce the spray paint and colour wheel feature from pets to hairstyles, letting us add highlights or custom designs as we wish. Create a separate category for hair accessories like beads, hair clips, and headbands, independent of the hat category. Introduce hair textures to change existing hairstyles to match any hair type, be it straight, curly, coiled, etc. Add a stubble category under facial hair, allowing both stubble and full beards to be layered together. Enable the simultaneous use of medical devices and earrings. Freckles, Moles, and Birthmarks. Expand the availability of natural skin marks such as birthmarks and freckles. Allow them to be layered with makeup and tattoos and to be more customizable in size, placement and colour. Add scarves as their own accessory category. Allow click-and-drag functionality to position accessories like eyewear, piercings, and necklaces exactly where we want them. As much as I love having eyelashes in makeup, please make them invisible in first-person mode. Thanks! Let us adjust hue, opacity, saturation, and brightness for tattoos, body scars, and skin details, similar to makeup options. Allow tattoos, scars, and skin details to be dragged and repositioned anywhere on the body. More Diverse Face and Body Sliders. This would include options for adjusting muscle tone, arm length, hip width, or more nuanced facial features like nose width, jaw depth, and cheekbones. Asymmetrical Customization. Adding the ability to make facial and body features asymmetrical (such as having one eyebrow higher than the other or different-sized eyes) would greatly enhance the uniqueness of Sim's creation. Add prosthetics. Create a new optional "undershirts" category for items like tank tops, sports bras, corsets, and skin-tight tees, worn under any other clothing. Introduce a "jackets" category for layering over tops, full-body outfits, and undershirts, with items like jackets, aprons, overalls, and robes. Separate overalls from tops, allowing them to be paired with any shirt or undershirt. Make aprons wearable over any outfit. Create a "belts" category, allowing them to be worn over or under any clothing. Add a "bags" category for accessories like backpacks and purses that can be added to any outfit. Include a filter to separate base game content from custom content (CC). Add a toggle to easily switch between custom CAS backgrounds, including those in the mods folder, without having to manually add or remove them. Organize CC within CAS by letting us sort and save content into folders, making it easier to locate items during gameplay. Update Sim voices with more nuanced accents to better represent diverse cultures and backgrounds. Move traits like vegetarian and lactose intolerant into a "lifestyles" category, freeing up trait slots. Allow us to save styled looks that can then be easily shared within the community. Add a toggle to control whether Sims stand still, move, or strike poses while being dressed. Enable custom heights for Sims. Add in-game ability to flag broken or wanted CC so we can easily identify it and remove it from our mods folder. While some of these features may already exist in mods, I believe it's crucial they get officially patched in, making them accessible to all players, including those on consoles. When The Future Is Plumbob Green blog post was released, I wasn’t too upset about there being no Sims 5 on the horizon. The Sims 4 is an amazing game, and with the wealth of expansion, game, stuff packs, and kits we've collected over the years, it truly feels like there’s endless content. Stripping that down to a new base game would honestly feel like a step backward. CAS has evolved a lot since its launch in 2014, and I hope this list serves as feedback for even more positive changes. If I missed something or you have other ideas, let me know!
Laundry Day needs some renew...
I've been in love with Laundry Day stuff pack for a long time. Laundry is actually a home activity I like to do and being able to do it in TS4 has been a dream come true. However, it has been 6 years since it came out and I noticed I've grown kinda bored over time. I noticed how simple the pack is and, sometimes, I've felt frustrated with the lacking of options in it, specially when it comes to the items that really make Laundry Day its thing. We have: Front loading (washing machine/dryer); A wash tub; Clothing hampers; A clothesline. With the rest of the pack, it's mostly construction options for furniture, doors and windows, mostly country styled, and other options such as laundry shelves and some ironing board; most of these, if not all of them, work as decorations and surfaces for random objects rather than actual functional objects for doing laundry, and that's what always makes me feel so frustrated and disappointed with this stuff pack. I know laundry is just a small portion of all that TS4 world has to offer, however, even if it is small, it shouldn't be so forgettable and bland. On one side I understand that the main objective of laundry is basically washing clothes, however, this pack becomes way too simple as: Wash clothes > Dry clothes > Wear clothes > and repeat, with nothing in between or no major feeling of actually having your clothes/garments well cared. I've thought of things that should come with an update, to give even more options than we have: Top loading washing machines and a classic stackable washer and dryer (I've grown with a top loading washing machine in my hometown); Clothesline varieties (just one clothesline option becomes too boring, specially for gaudier houses); An actual and functional ironing table (not mandatory in the laundry process, but if done can trigger positive moodlets for the sim); More options on products for laundry (even if it's just for decoration, I've been using the same laundry product in TS4 for 6 years); Moodlets for doing even deeper cleaning of your clothes (like, changing products can make a sim Inspired, ironing clothes can make a sim Confident. Or if a sim isclumsy, they have higher chances of burning clothes, which can make themEmbarrassed and, assuming you have Seasons Expansion Pack, putting clothes to dry and then a rain comes by can make a simTense). These are some of the ideas I have for an update that could make the Laundry Day Stuff Pack more interesting and appealing to the players of the game. I've been looking for CC for laundry in TS4 and, as much as the community manages to do everything it can to make the game more interesting, most of the time these mods don't actually fully work and some of them it's very very hard to find (almost impossible). So, I think the developers should take a look into making an update for this Stuff Pack. These are my ideas and opinions and I want to hear what the community of TS4 has to say. I thank everyone for the attention and, hopefully, we can make this message get to the developers of the game and make it come true. Thank you all so much!
