The Coach Bags
Listen I'm never going to grumble about getting free things in game, however this was a missed opportunity to have Sims be able to wear purses in game. You even picked the perfect brand to partner with. Coach is very in the moment right now. But having the bags be decorative only was quite foolish. Personally if you ask me you should go back and ask for permission to put in wearable bags. Here are my suggestions for wearable bags, I did common & popular ones (most of the designs they already gave as decor) and some of the niche fashion choices: Brooklyn 28 Black Maple Coachtopia Ergo Bag Black & White Checkerboard Coachtopia Ergo Black with Spikes (for goth Sims) Empire 40 Merlot Navy with the Blue & White Signature Pony Tail Scarf Tied Around the Handle Hitch Backpack Loved Leather Saddle Juliet Anthracite Chalk & Brass w/ Gold Cherries Black & Silver Juliet Shearling Bag Brass/ Natural Kiss-lock Frame Bag 16 & 30 Crystal Signature Jacquard Black Black Currant Dark Brown Pink Rainbow Crystal Relay Tote Chalk with Coach New York Logo & Yellow Cab Charm Soft Tabby Black with Black Hardware Chalk w/Snake Trim Turquoise with Nave Blue Trim Soho Crystal Signature Jacquard w/ Matching Sneakers Swinger Black Crystal Signature Jacquard w/ the Black Crystal Cherry Charm & matching Margot Kitten Heels Swinger Rainbow Crystal Signature Jacquard w/ the Candy Charm & matching Margot Kitten Heels Tabby 26 Leopard Print Hair-calf & Leopard Print Pump to match Tabby 26 Black w/Black Black w/Brass Black w/Silver Chalk w/Brass Chalk w/Brass & Red Cherry Charm Dark Stone Loved Leather Maple Merlot with the Gold Cherries Navy Blue Tie Dye Navy Blue Tote Pride Signature Print & Sneakers & Pool Slides to match 1941 Dinky Black Gold Red White 1941 Rogue 25 Chalk Olive Green Colorblock with Snake Handle Pink with Snake Handle Year of the Dragon in Chalk 1941 Rogue 30 Black Black with Snake Handle Chalk Heather Grey Red 1941 Saddle 1941 Rogue Denim Patchwork 1941 Rae Tote Black Chalk 1941 Saddle 1941 Rogue Tote Black w/ the interlocking black rings Black w/ Pink & Snake Multi Interlocking Rings
Can Branded Free Content Stop Being Forced
We should have a choice to claim free branded content or not. It always sucks when they add it to the base game, especially for console players who can't just mod it out. A good example of this was the deck the palms event where you could just claim what you wanted from the event and avoid all the SpongeBob content if you wanted. I can't be the only one who really dislikes branded content in the Sims. Also I'm not saying make these items limited time or anything, just a simple option to claim them or not. Another alternative would being able to hide certain assets in CAS / Build/Buy and disable for randoms. I don't think branded content is usually enabled for random anyway though.
A Free African World???
There were rumors started not only of the new Ep that is to come out soon, but also that EA was planning to give us all a free world based on Africa, but for some reason got canned... I later heard it didn't go through in fear this world would not be welcomed or liked by us Sims players. I would like to know why. While I am not personally of African descent, I would absolutely go crazy over the idea of getting such a free world to play as this!!! In previous surveys EA put out for the Sims 4, I mentioned we don't have nearly enough content to truly properly furnish a whole house to honor this nationality. Since then, we may have more clothing and hair styles now and sure we have a plant, a rug, a pillow, a framed picture, a lamp... but what about the rest of the home? We have stuff for a more "R&B"/Rap culture... but that is not my interest. I like more authentic African art and stylings of furniture. To have some decent food choices that also resembles this heritage. This game is supposed to support all backgrounds, nationalities, and lifestyles. But over the years, we have had plenty of Asian content, which is very cool. But when it comes to other cultures... not so much. I Would love my sim to have a world and great choices of furnishings (and not just one chair and a couch) How about some a couple of couches with pillows and throws and some without. The same with the living room chairs and maybe a nice **bleep** to match. A really great dining room set. Lighting consisting of ceiling, floor, and wall light sets and other accent lighting. A single, double, and kids bed...a whole bedroom set that consist of dressers, hanging cloths, night stands. When it comes to decor, how about more plant choices, rugs, pictures, Wall sculptures, mirrors, and most definitely different sized curtains to accommodate this theme. Some awesome outdoor trees, flowers, shrubbery. EA went all out in giving us so much awesome free content to accommodate babies coming into the picture. The same happened with a drop that consisted of new buildmode and buymode items and added colors to base game content. So, why not do this for all of us who are interested in learning about or living this cultural experience? I actually read some of the content that pertains to other cultures in our Sim's game like foods... what they are made of and if they are used during a special occasion, as well as, the names of outdoor plants and trees from other parts of the globe and what they provide for the people. I find this game not only entertaining but also educational too. EA please reconsider! If anyone agrees, please like this post so our voices are heard and hopefully answered. Thank you for your time.Crashing and Freezing/Bugs and Fixes...
A while back I had submitted problems I've been having with my game crashing or freezing with at first using only 3 mods in my game RVSN No Snap Curtain Slot OVERRIDE chingyu No Random Illness I went as far as to uninstall the game and the EA App and start over fresh with no mods at all and was still getting the same problems. Since then, I made some drastic changes to my PC. Now, mind you... I have a really good gaming PC, so it is not a matter of graphic card issues, space, etc. What I did is I found I had an antivirus program that simply was a waste of money, so I switched. I discovered my PC had 5 malware viruses!!! Once they were eliminated my game ran smoother. I also noticed my hard drive space kept decreasing with time and for what little I had on my PC it didn't add up. So, I cleaned my PC by doing a complete uninstall and reinstall of Windows 11. By the time I put in all I had once before, I had over half of my hard drive recovered with soooo much room to spare! In doing this, all my graphics cards, and important components of my PC were all up to date. After all is said and done... I have not had one issue with my game... at all! I pray I am not speaking out of turn, but my game has been running smoothly since November when I did this overhaul. Now, this is NOT to say our games do not have issues and too I fully realize that bugs can happen due to so many variants to people's PC's and content their computer's hold. With this... it makes it very difficult to know what games or any software will be negatively effected by other software or installations made to the game. But for the sake of the EA team... I just wanted to let you know that with all the packs I have installed... I do not have crashing issues, my game is no longer freezing, and my saved games are being saved correctly. What I have noticed in the past too is the more we add Custom Content or Mods we add to our games the more stressed our games become and the more bugs I have found. Going Vanilla with these games is leaving me to enjoy my games far more. To make it easier I have all Packs with the exception of the following below: Expansions: Love Struck Life and Death Enchanted by Nature Adventure Awaits Kits: Carnival Streetwear Bust The Dust Castle Estates Goth Galore Sweet Slumber Party Comfy Gamer Secret Sanctuary Casanova Cave Refined Livingroom Business Chic Sleek Bathroom Sweet Allure Golden Years Essential Glam Autumn Apparel Modern Retreat Garden To Table Prairie Dreams All SpongeBob Kits *** As of Late December, and Early January, I recently added the following: Kitchen Clutter Kit Grange Mudroom Kit Business and Hobbies Expansion I sincerely hope this will be of some help to EA and to the players of Sims 4.More to Recategorize
I am relieved to see the fixes that have and will be ongoing. With this I was so very happy to see many recategorizing being done of items in both CAS and in Buy/Buildmode. YAY!!! While this is drastically helping us to find items so much easier, I found there are many more that could really use more recategorizing that will make sense and match the similar items already found in these areas. Wall Vines: Not all vines are found under the same categories. Some are found under Wall Sculptures in Buildmode while others are in Wall Décor under decorations. It would be great to find every single wall vine made to be located under both categories to make it easier to locate and compare as to which ones we would like to use. Cottage Living: Wisteria Specimen Vertical, Horizontal A++, A, B, C. Get Together: Yee Old Universitee Ivy and Old Hanging Maple Leaves Strangerville: Strange Wall Vines Baskets: There are three baskets found in Decorations> Clutter While there are two others found under Decorations> Miscellaneous. It would be great to see all baskets from each location brought together to make it easier to find. The following are located in Clutter in need of joining the others… Seasons: Scott’s Summer Fun Basket from Seasons, Base Game: Cute Critter Basket Grange Mudroom: Hide Away That Clutter Basket Candles: There are three candle lights that still have not be made functional off grid. These are in serious need of recategorization. Paranormal: Moment of Peace Tea Set Tray Little Campers Kit: Jar Full of Fireflies Get Together: Photopollution Ceiling Light Clutter: It would make sense that all the little tiny decorative items found within the game be counted toward clutter, since clutter gives that “lived-in” look. The irony here is that the majority of items that need this recategorization are within the Bathroom Clutter Kit (hence its name); as most are found to be scattered between “Clutter” and the majority found in “Miscellaneous” making us work harder to remember which items are found in which location. The following are all found under Miscellaneous… Bathroom Clutter Kit: Dearly Departed Tooth Lacquer, It’s Soap, LlamaFairy’s Tooth Lacquer, Lone Paper, Glass Cup and Accessories, Assorted Combs by HairLabs, Single. Used. Lotion, Ole Faithful Toothbrush Set, Glowy Dew’s Skincare Essentials, Al Luxe Electric Razor, Micro Lightning Dryer by Easy Hair, Pointedly Luxurious Lotions Routine, SaltBathe Fragrance Jar, Newave Toothbrush Set, Resolute Hand Soap. Base Game: Happy Teeth Toothbrush Set Ceramic Soap Dispenser Modernist Paper Towel Dispenser Nifty Knitting: Decorative Yarn Ball Get Famous: Squwak-y Bubbles BioChemical Medical Home Chef Hustle: Clotted Cream and Jam For Rent: Mortar and Pestle Perfect Patio: Sauce the Pig Spread Modern Luxe: The Baddie’s Bag Neon Wall Lights: While most are found under Decorations> Wall Sculptures, there are two neon lights that are found under wall lights. Cozy Kitsch: Nuff Said Neon Sign Moschino: Shine Your Neon Light If possible, could all Neon lights from Decorations> Wall Sculptures be moved to wall lights? Otherwise please consider moving these two with all the rest under Wall Sculptures. Plants: There are still some plants that really need to join the others from “Miscellaneous”/"Clutter"… From Miscellaneous: Eco Living: Everyday is a Holiday Vase Backyard Stuff: Next Level Perennials Base Game: In Full Bloom Centerpiece From “Clutter”… Movie Hangout: Tea and Tears Curtain Extenders: To my knowledge, there are three curtains that have extension rods found in Decorations>Curtains. But this one is found in Decoration>Wall Sculptures, not making it convenient for us to use. Please change this location. Desert Luxe: Decidedly Neutral Curtain Mount Appliances/Refrigerators: For under “Appliances”, there is a refrigerator that really should be located with the rest. I’ll be honest with you. As much as I have designed homes and businesses, I didn’t know until more recently this one existed… all because of where it was placed. It was the last place I would think to look. Get To Work: Corporate Fridge Raider Revenue Generating Cooler. Seating: There are so many poufs and outdoor seating that are located under regular Living chairs and would be so beyond useful to find them in their appropriate places…. For Outdoor Seating: Werewolves: Tired No more Seat Cottage Living: Hay Bale, Hay Lil Campers Kit: Makeshift Extra Seating High School Years: Benchmark Seating For Miscellaneous Seating- to go with the other Poufs/Benches: Toddler Stuff Pack: Plump Pillow Pad Lil Campers Kit: Makeshift Extra Seating High School Years: Benchmark Seating and Beat Seat Pro Cozy Kitsch: Comfy Groove **bleep** Cottage Living: Inspiration Grows- by FanniFungi Furniture Horse Ranch: Sturdy Stool Movie Hangout: A Poof in Time Thank you again for all the corrections that have been made so far and for continuing to improve our game. Thank you for your time and consideration to this matter.
FED UP with SIMS 4 bugs
So on Jan 13 we received a great gift so they said and it would fix the big problem of photos turning black and painting for reference turning white. With great anticipation I checked it out. Here's the rub: Not only were the previously black photos and white paintings by reference unchanged, but those photos and paintings that were ok before the update suddenly were all black or white. All those years of game play history down the tube. I've had this game since it came out and those photos and paintings were a place where memories of early story telling were held. Additionally another old bug crept back in - the event squares in San Myshino were suddenly filled with detritus from previous events. A fix should not do the opposite of the problem. When updates to the game or new kits, expansions, etc are added they should not ruin the work that took place before the update or installation. Some bugs continue on for years and there are so many it is hard to keep track, I just don't use those features anymore, but this latest debacle is over the top. EA games and the team at SIMS 4 needs to hear from all of us all the time that we are not satisfied with this state of the game. (The problem with the black photos and white paintings had come up before and was fixed for me but I had to painstakingly go back to old games, save households and lots (or rooms in the case of apartments) to my gallery and rebuild the worlds. Sometimes old paintings and photos would come back. But friendships and relationships had to restart in the new games. When I spend more time troubleshooting (which should be in the job description of EA employees not customers), rebuilding worlds or lots, even finding old enough saves to start again from, than I do playing, then perhaps it is me who is crazy for continuing with this product. And to the EA SIMS staff, I do not, nor have I used any mods or custom content in the game. I sought to play only with Maxis content to lessen the possibility of bugs and corruption to the game. I think EA Games and the SIMS team owe us customers more than a verbal apology and they should start living up to their Values which they prominently displayed along with the Jan 13 update and I include below. They should also better playtest their updates and new creations, go back to the various add-ons that seem to have triggered these issues and correct them so they don't occur again. Thank GOD EA Games does not design airplanes. Creativity: The Sims is a canvas for imagination. yet that imagination is discouraged and destroyed by bugs We build tools that awaken the artist, architect, and storyteller in everyone. We celebrate ideas from the bold to the mundane and the wildly imaginative space in between that make our world shine. Play: The Sims thrives on play. yet we spend more time on repairs and troubleshooting, rebuilding and adjusting our play to account for repeated buts. That experience is not protected and has consequences. We embrace the surprises, the plot twists, the happy accidents and the small moments that snowball into epic stories. We protect experimentation without consequence, because some of the best stories come from turning mistakes into moments of magical delight. Choice: The Sims is defined by decisions. I seem not to have control of details including big ones if EA games keeps taking the results away We create systems that give players meaningful control over every detail, big or small. We empower players to steer lives and worlds in any direction they imagine. Inclusivity: The Sims is for everyone. The game is not for anyone who tries to build stories and preserve details along the way of those stories through pictures and paintings, carefully built lots, etc. We reflect the wide, colorful spectrum of identity and self-expression so every player feels seen and celebrated. We build features that let all players create the Sims they feel connected to, and explore their identities, without judgement. This work never ends; we continue learning, growing, and finding new ways to make every player feel seen. Community: The Sims is a community-driven game. individual creativity is thwarted when bugs destroy the work. We support the players who shape our worlds through their stories and creations, building a shared culture. Together, individual creativity becomes something shared and spectacular. That’s what makes The Sims community the best community in games. As we continue building the future of The Sims, our team's creative control, guided by our values of inclusivity, choice, creativity, community, and play, has not changed. And at its core, The Sims will always be life, your way. I doubt that many of us really feel Sims supports this based on the frequency and seriousness of the bugs that seem to be increasing exponentially.Hobby Boards & Getaways
Here me out... I love the idea of the getaway. It adds a whole new way to engage with the game and I love all the option it creates. I have been playing this game for a long time, and I love the creativity it unlocks - I was running out of things to do... honestly. With that said, the getaway has some bugs that impact game play and I hope they get fixed in the next batch of patches. When planning a getaway, there is an option to attend lectures, but there is no option to run lectures and classes. The option to run lectures and classes exists elsewhere in the game - such as when operating a small business. But there is nothing available for the getaway. It feels odd to me to have one option without the other. I am trying to create a boarding schools for HS students who graduate early, and I have small classrooms set up where they can learn different skills. I can assign attend lectures to the students, but there is no way to assign anyone run lectures and classes. The closest you get is mentoring, however mentoring does not produce a lecture or class under the current set up. The only way to have anyone there to teach the lectures is if someone from my active household does it - which defeats the whole point of the getaway. I genuinely hope this was an oversight. See screenshots below.... When planning a getaway, you can select attend lectures as an activity, but there is no run lectures and classes Mentoring is an option.... but it does nothing to create a lecture or a class for people to attend. The option to run lectures and classes appears on the employee task panel for the small business. This option does not exist in the activity options for a getaway. If you're still here.... samesies on the Scrap Crafts option. its available as an employee task for a small business. I would LOVE to be able to assign that task in a getaway. The sims make crafts and then they sit until I make one of my sims scrap them (or I do it in build mode). Again.... no fun.Dog grooming
I really like the idea of an add on that is solely based around dog grooming. I’m not sure how difficult that could be to make but here are some ideas. adding on to the cats and dogs pack: -able to start a dog grooming business -having different styles of dog grooms and what dog grooms suit each breed and being able to choose from the options ea displays. -being able to level up in dog grooming skill. -the sims using actions such as shaving and scissor cutting -doing it step by step such as.. 1.bath 2.blow dry 3.shaving/scissor cutting 4.spraying with a cologne of your choice. -having good or bad moodlets depending on if the sim got what they wanted out of the grooms and the smells of the colognes. (Maybe depending on their likes and dislikes?) -some dogs act up during their grooms and some don’t? (Potentially adding biting, moving around a lot etc.) Just an idea as it would be cool to be able to do something like this 😊Update the hospital!!☺️
What I mean is.. sims being able to break bones, this includes children too.. I think it’d be cool to have wheelchairs , casts, hospital stays, terminal illnesses, diseases etc etc. if you’re a nurse/or doctor you will be able to do more interactive things such as give medicine on a machine, hook patients up to the machines by IV (these are just examples but could be included!) more in detail surgeries and having babies.. the patients should have to stay in a hospital room recovering from surgery or with their baby after giving birth.. maybe like 7 days? Or anything the player selects. This is just a general idea of what I’d personally love! pleasee like this post if you agree! 🩷more kits / packs with only cas, and only hobbies, skills, and/or careers
So I have grown to love building and decorating using only base game things, but I am using a lot of mods in cas because of course it's all about the fashion when it comes to sims! I would definitely be interested in more kits and packs that only include cas items. Additionally, I do love the extra hobbies and skills and careers and things, but I would prefer to maybe have some without all the extra build and buy items, again so that I can keep my build items to only base game, except for specifically the items for the hobbies (like the knitting baskets, or the dj booths, for example). I know that everyone is used to a ton of different items in all of the packs, so maybe they could just be kits, or maybe they could be an entirely new genre of dlc for the game so that it is what people expect from them.Developers - omg STOP with the stupid Mischief skill
My sim was at the computer researching Natural Living. The split second he was done, he started to troll the forums. NO, no, no! I immediately stopped the action, but it was too late. Those few short seconds were all it took for him to acquire the mischief skill. Stop forcing this on players. It isn't mischief, it is evil bullying, plain and simple. I will go into cas.fulleditmode and make all my sims dislike Mischief. Doesn't matter, they do it anyway. Insulting other sims? Jeering at them? Yelling at them? I want to casually play a nice, calming game, and the "Bullying Skill" ruins it. :(
Suggestion: Update Willow Creek
Base game worlds, compared to old and new DLCs worlds, need some improvements. Seeing other peoples reviews about Willow Creek always go with to the flatness problem and i agree. Willow Creek really lacks the bioiversity from New Orleans swamps, but also the care to make it look natural, well made. And the fact that we witnessed the great work The Sims team could put into making the DLCs world makes it much more difficult to accept what we got. I feel like, based on New Orleans but not a replica, Willow Creek should express the natural swampy and cultural eerie vibe of it, having a great use of treatment the neighborhoods like Forgotten Hollow, Moonwood Mill, Mourningvale and Tomarang got. Making it more natural, mysterious, wild, interesting and different from the many bright green worlds. LANDSCAPING SUGGESTIONS: Less saturated and more warm filter (more yellowish?): It'd make the world much more realistc, cozy and welcoming. Fog at least near water bodies: It'd give Willow Creek the eerie vibe New Orleans have with it's mysthical/paranormal culture. Add more plants to the world like at least next to the natural water bodies: Currently Willow Creek looks like arborized green desert really shallow and artificial with its vegetation that's is usually seen as adapted to the rivers ecossystem so we should see lots of trees next to other and lots of small and medium plant fulfilling the ground like tall grass, ferns, bushes, small palms, clustered trees and aquatic trees/grass. Turn the water darker and mossy/leafy: Almost every photo i see there's this dark/green water usually with lots of moss, leaves, liliypads and parts of trees so this would make it much more accurate and aesthetically pleasing. Add the pond effects to the water bodies: I really miss seeing in the game all the biodiversity i see in photos of NO's swamps and I really think they could give more life and personality to the world. (And the crocs could be the reason why they don't swim on rivers) So in general these suggestions are meant to make the world feel more natural and get an actual swamp vibes, creating a better atmosphere for gameplay. GAMEPLAY SUGGESTIONS: More world and characters lore: Explain what's sylvan glade, who's the mayor, who's Jasmine Holiday, etc. More NPCs: ghosts, Jasmine Holiday giving us old game challenges and Sylvan Glade NPC. Local aspiration to explore Willow Creek Ghost train/steamboat Observation spots: To look to the trains in Foundry's Cove and the steamboat like in Business and Hobbies. Mardi Gras festival
Deck The Palms Event
EA should extend the event or do something about all the issues it’s having. Even though the tasks ones were buggy too I feel like more people were at least able to play catch up with those ones. We miss a day on this and no catch up is avaible you just miss out. I’ve seen multiple threads of event items just not unlocking when people have done the correct steps to claim items. Also the time zones are a little weird for resets and make working around work schedules weird. I believe I’m even missing out on a day of rewards because I couldn’t claim one of the days previously and it’s disappointing having put so much time and money into this game over the years for things to constantly not work properly during these free events. We shouldn’t have to download mods or attempt to get the gallery event rooms all because it glitches so much or people don’t have access to a computer during the holidays. Just aggravating.This event was disappointing
I’m not going to lie, the login and collect event was not great. My opinion may be unpopular but I much prefer the events where you would have to play through and complete quests. Even if the rewards are not great, you are still able to play through an event and maybe get to interact with game functions that you don’t often use. This can spark inspiration at least. And to add to the benefits of the quest events, you are able to play through the entire event on the last day if you have been busy or forgot to sign in. The login event does not have that type of forgiveness. If you login even a week before the end of the event, you will miss some rewards. I was under the assumption that this event would be a quest event because I had never seen the sims do a login event. The holidays have been very busy and I’m a full time student that doesn’t get a winter break, so I didn’t have much time to login to sims everyday. I was hoping to be able to login towards the end of the event, play through the quest, and collect my rewards. But because I didn’t research the event, I logged in too late and was out of luck. The login event doesn’t even require you to play sims either, you can just open the game and collect, which feels lazy to me. I don’t want sims to turn into a lackluster version of fortnite. Please go back to quest events, login events are boring and quest events are overall better. I’m super sad that I wasn’t able to collect every reward but I guess I was lucky enough to collect the krabby patty recipe.Incoherent/unpractical things
Here's a list of things that doesn't make sense in the game to me anymore, given the content we've been receiving lately, it's clear that those things turns the game icoherent and sometimes give us no freedom, even breaking immersion. SOLVED Life state slot is hidden for human sims and we can't switch the traits in a alredy created occult sim. (Base Game) Can't create ghosts on CAS knowing all they need is a Death type trait; (Base Game) "Perfectionist" trait being on hobby traits category. (Base Game) Ghosts, Aliens, Merfolk and Werewolves unable to access vampire's details (Get to Work, Vampires, Island Living and Werewolves) UNSOLVED Can't wear female swimsuit as tops like the Pride and Realm Of Magic ones. (Base) Masculine clothes only earns a breast shadow in feminine frames, but female clothes keeps it in masculine frames. (Base) Having to check the door for visitors/services everytime, cause we don't have a notification for their arrival. (Base) Invited sims entering our house without permission or house key. (Base) "Welcome wagon" starts without our consentiment, the neighbors don't even know if someone's home. (Base) Fear interactions and running scared being so overreactive and not stricted to "Terrified" emotion. (Base) Social events don't have a "free entry" option. (Base) Sims can't refuse a promotion. (Base) Some level descriptions of entertainer career makes it look more about comedy than general entertainment. (Base) Piano skill not included in entertainer career's promotion tasks. (Base) Pools increasing hygiene. (Base) Parents unable to invite their child's friends to their birthday party, because they don't know them. (Base) Aunt, uncle, cousin and grandparents options not available for selection in CAS. (Base) Sims do not react with animations when getting moodlets. (Base) "Compliment appearence" being romantic. (Base) Can't swim on deep enough ponds. (Base) Can't splash on fishing spots. (Base and dlcs) Only one hashtag per search at the gallery. (Base) Park and National Park having the same lot icon. (Parks should've a picnic basket icon). (Base) No clone genealogic relationship in CAS. (Base/Get to Work/Realm of Magic) Collectible pets/familiars not having interactions like rodents does. (Base, Get to Work, Outdoor Retreat, Realm of Magic) Human skin colors not shared with aliens and vice versa. (Get to Work) Can't delete or link alien's disguise. (Get to Work) Can't go to the Hospital as patient like NPCs in the medical career. (Get to Work) llnesses/Poison/Repulsive curse body marks being hidden. (Get to Work/Jungle Adventures/Realm of Magic) Unable to send a sim alone to club meetings. (Get Together) Cancel holidays and getting a sad moodlet. (Seasons) No "turn off" option for surprise holiday generation. (Seasons) No notifications for Sulani festivals. (Island Living) Skeletons unable to wear clothes like Bonehilda and face paint/hair/wigs like mexican skeletons do. (Jungle Adventures) Spellcasters being occults but not having an occult form. (Realm of Magic) Can't use both hand bandages at the same time. (Werewolves) Werewolf's human form can't have glowing eyes from wolf form like spellcasters/vampires do. (Werewolves) Occults using by default disguise while being ghosts. (Get to Work, Vampires, Island Living, Werewolves) Do you guys have any other complaints?
Still 2 CAS Columns in Big 2026?
We have so much content in the game if you have all packs. I think interchangible cas columns would be perfect like we can change colums to 2-3-4-5 to see items in bigger frame. Also hide option would be nice. So we don't need to see unwanted items in randomized new sims.Please make Prom night compatible with all kinds of players.
Prom every weekend is only compatible with short lifespans. I read this decision was made with rotational players in mind, but please consider the experience of Simmers who play it on long lifespans too. You could simply let us schedule our own Prom nights, or at least add an option in the gameplay settings to choose how often Prom appears on our calendars. I think Sim lifespans and season lengths should be prioritized more when designing major life events like these, rather than player style. Because Rotational players are still able to enjoy them by timing their rotations correctly, but non-rotational players have no other options for them other than questioning their sim's life unless the developer helps them out TwT In general, it would be preferable if default settings for major life events (like Prom) was compatible with long lifespans and long seasons, rather than the shorter ones. Why because if a Simmer turns off aging entirely, it only means they want to play with a single Sim even longer than the long lifespan. If this is annoying for Simmers who play with long lifespan too, imagine how frustrating it is for those who play with aging completely turned off. Wouldn't it make sense to have events to be compatible with long lifespan? And if a Simmer wants to play short or medium lifespans/seasons, major events like Prom could be automatically adjusted to fit when they select short or medium lifespan in the gameplay settings. Please consider this. Thank you :)Active Imagination Trait Making Child Sims Energized
Hello! As you may see from the title or may have experienced through gameplay, the "Active Imagination" character trait that we unlocked during the forever friends event makes child sims energized. I frequently get a "creative spark" mood buff which gives me Energy +4, which actively prevents me from being more creative and completing the Artistic Prodigy aspiration. I don't understand why an imagination centered trait gives you something that not only doesn't help, but is actually making it harder to complete the creativity aspiration! My sim keeps being inspired, which is what you need to complete the creativity aspiration, then he gets a "creative spark" which then makes him energized because it overpowers the things I do to make him inspired and turns the other buffs to be energized. Being energized does not help with creative aspirations or activities, it actively makes it harder. This trait is not useful for creative sims and I think everyone would use it more if it gave you an Inspired +4 mood buff instead, which makes more sense anyways for a "Creative Spark". TLDR: My proposition is to change the buffs provided from the "Active Imagination" trait from Energized +4 to Inspired +4, in order to make the trait more usable for creative sims.I deeply hate Spongebob, can the DtP rewards be removed?
I meant to not log in at all until the Deck the Palms event was safely over to avoid getting any Spongebob content but unfortunately I logged in yesterday and it was automatically unlocked. Is there any way to remove the krabby patty recipe and that hideous spongebob sweatshirt from my account?The game engine is bad 👎
All games run at high performance with modifications except The Sims 4 The quality is poor compared to The Sims 3 and The Sims 2 I'm starting to think The Sims 3 was made by people who left EA It has neither a good engine nor crisp graphics The Sims 3 has attention to detail an open world, and features that are impossible to find in The Sims 4 The Sims 3 looks like a newer version not an older one
