[R&L] Please convert the pets' crown for humans as well
I personally found the crown collection for males to be rather lacking.. Now to my surprise I see pets getting a great looking crown.. I would love for it to be wearable by humans as well.. If possible even having it be an object on a pillow as well like that other crown in the pack!
Sims 4 Multiplayer or Online
Sims 4 online or multiplayer should be an expansion pack where you can play with your friends live on the Sims 4. Basically, in a household, you can both go into create a sim and be able to create one household together. Also, you should be able to do the same but with building house. Both have access to the same lot on one world and be able to build together and play live together. Another option could be you can both play on the same exact world/game but build different houses and different households that can visit each other. I just think the game would be way more enjoyable if you could be able to play live with your friends. Thank you.
[R&L] Please Patch the Armor Claws as Gloves, Bracelets or Rings
I was very disappointed that these gloves are only tied to one dress/outfit. I so wanted these to be a glove or bracelet. Please patch this in as an accessory so it can be wore with other outfits!!!! Edit: Especially, if they make this for both masculine/feminine bodies. Edit, edit: If possible just the claw part not the bracer part. For less clipping issues, and a more claw armor look.
Horror Movie Game Pack Idea
I think it would be so awesome if there was a horror game pack where you can create a sim to look like Ghostface, Jason Vorhees, Freddy Krueger, Chucky (bride of chucky/Tiffany, seed of chucky), Michael Myers, Art The Clown, Pennywise, Pinhead, Krampus, Jigsaw etc. If licensing is in issue, then make similar looking clothing and masks but different enough so you don't need the licensing. You can then choose your main aspiration as serial killer, maybe choose a weapon of choice or have the weapons in the build mode and when you click on the weapon, similar to choosing your bed, you choose that weapon. Have movie posters, blood splatter like the wall cracks and other horror genre decorations in build mode.
Vehicles and transportation
I remember being able to drive cars in the sims 3. Considering we are at gen 4 and in the making of gen 5 for the sims, travel and vehicles are lacking. I mean, we have bikes, horses, and aqua zips. No cars or boats. We should have options to have a sim use public transport like a taxi, subway, or trolley (especially in worlds like San Myshuno and Evergreen Harbor). I mean, I think it's so boring to always use the phone menu for travel. Plus, there should be historical gameplay options like a horse and carriage. Attention to detail is important to a lot of players. Sometimes I like walking down the street or cycling to lots, because I get to see all the street level content such as: like car drive-by animations, the trolley animation, NPCs walking their dogs and jogging, and all the neighborhood activity. I also think that traveling to lots via the street shouldn't require a loading screen. Like a sim will bike or walk to a lot in the same neighborhood, be at the lot, and then a loading screen appears. And if EA adds cars, they can add vehicle related gameplay such as: gas stations and body shops. You ever notice the amount of parking meters in the worlds? There are a ton and there are no actual drivable cars. There's a subway train in San Myshuno, but no actual train or interactive shell for players to use. I also want to see a world with an airport that can be used to travel to destination worlds.Making "spouse" and "partner" labels toggleable in CAS
I was really happy to see that the game has updated the language for romantic relationships to default to the gender neutral "partner" and "spouse." I think having the game default to these terms is a great step in making the game more inclusive! But I wish there were toggles in CAS to bring back the old labels, similar to how all sims default to bi/pansexual but you can set their sexuality in CAS. A lot of queer people fought hard to call the person they love their boyfriend or wife, and I just think it would be even more inclusive to have options, rather than to remove options. I certainly prefer this language change because it's much better for my non-binary sims in romantic relationships, but I just wish this was an area with more player customization! I hope the sims team considers adding these options back in at some point. Maybe to CAS? Maybe to sim profiles under the simology tab?Edit extended Family Trees
I'd love it if in manage worlds you can edit family trees, so you can update families that are added per pack/gallery/etc. Many people love the family trees of the main Sim families, like the Goth, Crumplebottom, Bachelor and Caliente families which are connected together throughout the series. So many marriages, cousins, etc. And allow TBA/placeholders for unknowns and not yet added to the game Sims. Also allow for NPCs we cannot control so they are not left out. This would help with non-canon romancing with extended family from happening. edit: Last year made templates for the Sims wiki for family trees. And set up the cross-over legacies for the Goth/Crumplebottom/Bachelor/Caliente Family Tree. For example on why we need a more complex family tree system.
inappropriate requests to move in.
Not sure if this has been mentioned prior. Not only is it annoying but it is inappropriate in terms of how it effects the gameplay experience. Can we not have a sim who has just become a friend with my sim coming over to visit and suddenly asks to move in... I understand if maybe it was like a best friend and its been maybe a whole year in game asking too live with my sim... and even more so if our romance was super high as well as other appropriate conditions have been met.npc households that do not have a stable gets horses
so i got all the packs, and i notis that so many of the other households are getting horses without having a stable to the horses. it is super annoying. f.eks. the landcrab household have gotten a horse and they do not have a stable on their lot to have a horse. PC, No-cc. No mods.
Ideas that can make gameplay more interesting
I’ve been playing the sims since a kid.. and honestly everything I would like as far as whays in the already exists and I love it but I thought it’ll be a cool idea if EA would come up with a concept of mystical hybrids creatures for vamps, werewolves, fairies, mermaids, etc. not only that but introduce new creatures like dragons, phoenix, unicorns, centaurs (all have the same option of transforming) and even superhero’s should be introduced it’s so much more potential the Sims 4 can reach … another thing I feel that should be considered is teen pregnancy now I know sims 4 is pg-13 etc but to relate to relive experiences it should be allowed in game play or a Mod should be created especially hence teens can WhooHoo 🤷🏽♀️
What is this "End Secrecy and Become Official" nonsense?
So, today's update has changed the "Ask to be Romantic Partner" relationship interaction to "End Secrecy and Become Official". In other words, the game has just decided for me that all of my Sims who happen to be in non-exclusive, romantic relationships are in fact having "secret" relationships. But I don't have any Sims in secret relationships. I have plenty of Sims in open relationships and I have plenty Sims dating casually. None of these relationships are secret. The game can't read my mind and therefore should not be defining the nature of my Sims romantic relationships. I have my own imagination, thank you very much. Change this back to the way it was.
Bassinets on NPC lots after age up
When an NPC gives birth, a bassinet is added to their lot, usually next to a bed. When my Sim visits the NPC lot after the newborn ages up, the bassinet is still there and the infant has no crib. Even after the NPC newborn ages up to a child, the bassinet is still there. The bassinet should be automatically removed from the NPC lot after the newborn ages up to infant.
[R&L]Lack of clothes for men & infants
There are absolutely NONE to be had for the pack. The CAS short on YT you see clothes for male and female sims, girls and boys and toddlers...but nothing for infants? How often are infants going to keep getting very little now? Even the baby's get new bassinets at bare minimum, but no clothing, new crib or decor for them or at least some new toys? Focusing on legacies and families and such, but it makes this pack still feel pretty underwhelming And then there's the male sims ratio'd in comparison to the female sims who get well over 60ish items and the males in 30's for CAS for clothing I'm not even counting things like accessories.. Even the hair styles are minimum. I thought by now there would be a much more fairer ratio than this, but it's still the same. Why can't male sims have more variety i their clothing. Not even a corset vest for men in this. It's just very disappointing. This has been a problem since earlier Sims games.
Expanding on Family Dynamics
I think being able to designate step/half siblings is a leap in the right direction. Will this extend to aunts/uncles or cousins? I'm also curious if it's been suggested that Sims who have a child (they don't live with) would pay child support? Lastly, with stay-overs and guests in recent expansions, would it be possible to work out a custody arrangement where the child could alternate households each week, or perhaps spend weekends with the other parent?
The New Lost Legacies Event
Unlike some folks I actually like the events and have never have had a technical issues with them like not getting my items. What I am posting about is strictly suggestions for improvements to the offerings during the event. I welcome any suggestions for same. Please don’t comment about how much you hate events for this topic it isn’t constructive. Items I Loved The Curio Display & the Keys The Easel Draped Memorial Display Table Luxurious Morning Robes Capp Library Bookcase Embroidered Duchy Saddle Antique Jeweled Ring Embossed Filigree Eyepatch Ceremonial Dedication Fenestra The Lot Trait Glittering Fairy Princess Gown Ladies’ Front Lacing Corset The Aspiration Things that would have been better to add Instead of the Piano Books (a skill easily learned in Game), how about new Piano Sheet Music to famous Classical Works Chopin’s Funeral March for Life & Death Girl with the Flaxen Hair by Claude Debussy for BG Prelude to the Afternoon with a Faun by Claude Debussy for Enchanted by Nature Instead of the Logic Book I would have done New Sheet Music for the Pipe Organ - Tocata & Fugue in G Minor Matching Slippers to the Luxurious Robes Instead of Satisfaction Points (which are easily gotten in game) how about another Recipe for Baking like the Sacher Torte for example Instead of Potions (that you can get yourself in game) how about 1 New Alchemy/Potion Recipe for ROM & 1 New Herbalism Remedy. A large Floor Length Mirror that conceals a Hidden Door I think there should have been a Key for the Straud Family considering he’s at least a Count. Summary for this Event & Future Ones Filler Rewards should be replaced with Recipes (Cooking, Baking, Mixology, Herbalism Recipes, etc.) and Sheet Music for one of the Instruments I would also suggest a few specific Updates to already in Game items Punch Bowls Egg Nog, Smoking Bishop & Wassail for December Events For October Events I would suggest two new designs Gothic & Cauldron Buffet Table & Dining Table Cloths Lunar New Year - Featuring one of the Animals for every year the Sims 4 has been around and the remaining every year there after we receive one for free not tied to any event as a gift. St. Patrick’s Day, Diwali, Octoberfest, and Pride (if we don’t have it) I would not put them into any events I would however include them into free Updates Holiday Light Color Combination Green & White Green, Purple, Yellow Hot Pink & Clear Orange Orange & Purple Rainbow Red & Clear October & December should have events whereby you can get points for Logging in AND Quests it should be for the Full Calendar month and be VERY well advertised. This to ensure those who are away can get reasonably caught up. December event Rewards could be Father Winter’s Throne - an item that bring’s Father Winter to a Community Lot Takes Pictures with Sims Families Children & Babies Cats & Dogs Father Winter will ask Children what they want for Snowflake Day Songs in Simlish for Radio or able to Sing (They’re all public domain) God Rest You Merry Gentlemen Good King Wenceslaus Toyland The Wassail Song 12 Days of Christmas Honorable Mention - Let it Snow (If no royalties need to be paid) Lunar New Year could use a two week event A Theme I came up with is - Count Vladislaus Straud’s Crimson Masquerade, its ambitious for an event. A combination of Venice’s Carnaval, The movie Van Helsing and The Cask of the Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe Masquerade Ball as new Event - as both for the Month long event and as an update to the list of events we can set up in game. Masks Fancy Masquerade Clothing New Lot Designation - Ballroom A few new radio songs or Sheet music Mixology Recipes Evening Wear styled Outerwear Red, Black & Gold as the colors for Items Updo’s for ladies Another Event I had for Spring Time was the Garden Judging & Flower Show Introduces a new Event Garden Show Questing Involves satisfying the Judges and winning a trophy Judges should wear Suits/Dresses with Sashes, Boutonnières or even a bowler. All judges for the event should be elders Pattern the show event after the Chelsea Flower Show Colors for the event should be Teal, Pink, Green Rewards for Participation Lighted Topiaries New Harvestables for Flowers Designs for Flower Arranging Garden Statues Violin Sheet Music French Garden Trellis Flower Arranging Trophy, Best Garden Trophy I think it should coincide with an update of Gardening to have different color varieties for Lilies Orchids Roses TulipsConsoles Legacy Event Awards
Many console players have not been able to play because of save corruption issues and crashing issues that have been happening for MONTHS. For those console players who have not been able, and are currently unable, to log into the game, will they have to miss out on the event awards? Will those who have been disincluded from participating because of system errors be unable to reap the event rewards?
