Another EA/WB Collaboration?
This has been brought up on the forum before. But with the release of Hogwarts Legacy, some of the biggest desires of the wizarding world fans has been to go through the whole process, year one to post Hogwarts. However the creation of that game would be massive and take at least 5 years to make it something truly worth binging. UNLESS there was a Sims game out already that has game packs. To create a game pack where you get mail by owl (there is already a raven in the Life & Death Pack), your child goes off to Hogwarts, gets to do the full experience even into adulthood with jobs like Unspeakables, Auror, Minster of Magic, Healer at St. Mungos, Quidditch Player, Dragonologist, etc. (much like the Discover University pack, the Get to Work Pack, and Strangerville pack). I understand there is the Spellcaster pack having played it through multiple times and it is an excellent pack, but the potential that a game pack and expansion pack involving the Wizarding world could blow sales through the roof. It would be a rather Large game pack, or it could be multiple packs extending the length of sales and media for the game. It wouldn’t be the first time EA and WB collaborated on Harry Potter, so why not this?
[GtW] Sixam and Alien Refresh?
So I recently traveled to Sixam with both my scientist and astronaut Sims, only to find it completely empty. I know this is by design for some reason, but I'd REALLY like it to be a little more exciting. It's a beautiful world! Other than some collectibles (which are not Sixam-specific and can be found elsewhere in the game), there's nothing to do and no one to interact with. Also, Aliens (like mermaids) deserve a skill tree! PRETTY PLEASE! 🙂 (Edited to include photo here)
Would love to see the Sims 2 "car/pool/bus" animation return
On the re-release of Sims 2 (playing it) I totally forget about how a car or a bus would pull up to pickup your sims for their job or school. To be clear this isn't the same as owning or driving cars, it was just a simple animation of a car pulling up to your home, your sim leaving the house, walking to the car and than it speeds off. Not an actual object like in the Sims 3. I understand that cars will never come to the sims 4 without a total re-work of the road/neighborhood system - but I'd love to see a return of an animation at least - of a car, van, bus, etc appearing and HONKING like in old games to pickup our sims and take them to where-ever. It feels much more realistic and honestly like quality of life feature to see our sims come and go from various places, I loved to how in the Sims 2 the cars that picked you up changed overtime - esp with your career. Or that it would honk waiting for you, adding a more immersive feel. Even on community lots this would feel a lot more realistic to see cars pulling up and dropping off people instead of them appearing out of "thin air". It just would feel so much more...immersive and more like a life simulator. This could extend to taxi's for lot travel or even bicycles (maybe the sims world gets bicycle sharing) as our sim leaves the lot. I've always found it VERY immersion breaking that our sims simple "vanish" on the spot when they leave, they dont even walk off the lot. Looking back at it now, it literally just feels like it wasn't implemented yet because when the Sims 1 and 2 had car sharing - even if its just an animation - there really isn't a reason why it can't exist in 4 now. Also I totally understand some people might not have the attention span to "watch" sim go to work, so a toggle for "lot transportation" or something could allow it to be optional if people prefer an immediate "exit" and not watching their sims leave in a more realistic fashion.
Ice Cream Truck Return (Idea)
If the Frosty Dreams ice cream truck were to return in The Sims 4, we could make it less annoying by tweaking how and when it appears. Here are some ideas to improve its functionality: Customizable Schedule & Location Instead of randomly driving around between 11:00 and 18:00, players could set preferred hours for it to appear in the summer season. A new "Call for Ice Cream Truck" option on the phone lets Sims request it on demand. It prioritizes stopping near community lots (parks, beaches, plazas) instead of weird spots in front of random houses. Less Stalking Behavior In The Sims 3, the truck sometimes creepily parked in front of Sims' houses for long periods. In The Sims 4, it should: Only stay for a short time (e.g., 1-2 in-game hours). Appear more naturally near places where Sims gather. Ice Cream Delivery Option Instead of chasing the truck, Sims could order ice cream via phone or app, and the truck will deliver it to their home. A friendly ice cream vendor NPC hands the order to the Sim instead of just dropping it from nowhere. No Unnecessary Traffic Jams The truck won't block roads or slow down other vehicles. If it stops, it does so in designated parking spots instead of randomly in the street. Special Events & Discounts On hot days, the truck appears more often and gives discounts on ice cream. During festivals (like the Spice Festival or Summer Splash), it appears in designated food stall areas. Would these changes make the ice cream truck less annoying and more fun for you
World inspired by good and evil
The sims team should make a world inspired by good and evil, similar to the way the world is influenced in eco lifestyle. When the world is evil there would be an uptick in crime(burglers), maybe even in death. Evil sims would get a positive moodlet living there where good sims would get a negative moodlet. Evil worlds would have more mean interactions but a 10% increase in salary and lowered bills. When the world is good more sims are out and about in the neighborhood. There are more positive interactions. Maybe an increase in births. No crime. If the world were to feature 3 neighborhoods. The Evil neighborhood could be slick mansions with an old money vibe. The good neighborhood could look like something out of a hallmark movie with a big gazebo and park in the middle of town. The neutral neighborhood could be apartments and a small city vibe. Each neighborhood and every neighborhood could be influenced into being good or evil
Please bring back headmaster + private school
I really enjoyed having to impress the headmaster to get sim kids into private school. I also liked the feature for shipping kids to military school who were bad. Ideas: You have to impress the headmaster but the headmaster could be completely insane or have an obsession with something and you have to appeal to them (Ex. headmaster starts hitting on husband, etc) Maybe the headmaster is obsessed with dancing, but sims hate dancing, the tasks they must complete are all different based on the headmastress If a sim is not doing well in any school (elementary or high school) and is in the red on character traits, they get shipped to military school and come back with heightened athletic, random relationships with troublemakers, etc. If sims go to private school, they get into high school with an A+, and get special scholarships for university or careers If they go to private school, they meet rich sims and have higher friendship with rich sims The clubs at private school are different, etc: ski club, french club, lacrosse, english horseback riding etc. The uniforms are classy I know some of these features are dependent on which packs you have but I think it would be really fun to play and bring back the beloved headmaster.
Can we get Grim's hood to be under hat and not hair
I know we just got a grim reaper update but we need another one. I want to edit the grim reaper a little and all I have is a floating bald head. I wanna give him hair and have a neck attached to the rest of him. Idk maybe like a turtle neck type of thing so we don't see a spine or maybe just give him a flesh neck? It's 2025. No floating heads >:(
Bought the game before it was free
I paid for the game before it was free, which i know was a while ago now but I just found this forum. Is there any sort of compensation we get since i paid $40 for the base game? Its just so annoying to put o much money (including dlc) for the game to just become free. IMO there should be some store credit or something similar
expansion pack suggestion
Honestly, I would love it if they brought a package with a modern royal theme, with training to be a queen, royal weddings, political intrigues and partnerships, skills focused on royal life, social and gala events, awards and titles, decisions that impact the life of subjects with positive and negative consequences, surprise and unpredictable events and situations, succession to the throne, travel, missions, scandals and gossip, lots of shopping, as well as fun and games typical of monarchs, such as theaters, museums, among others... this is a theme that hasn't been seen in any version of The Sims, I believe it would be something innovative and very fun.

Have it all
I really wish there was a simple bundle that I can buy that’s all the expansions, another bundle with all stuff packs, and one with all game packs. I love being able to buy everything for a game. Really wish this was possible so I could click add to cart twice and pay and obtain everything for the game. This would be amazing.Sims 4: Let’s move Into the future of online gaming.
I am excited about the prospect of farming the land, hunting for resources, and engaging in exhilarating combat with a variety of foes. Yet, I also want to balance adventures with the comforts of home life. I dream of building a cozy house where my family can thrive, sending the kids off to school to learn valuable skills, and enrolling them in hunting classes to pass on our family's traditions. The thrill of skinning the beasts we hunt and preparing a grand feast for our loved ones fills me with joy. I envision celebrating holidays adorned in the crafted items I’ve created, with a trusty weapon slung over my shoulder to symbolize our adventures. The idea of expanding our family as we enjoy these moments together adds to the richness of this experience, making it not just a game, but a vibrant life filled with excitement and love. I am incredibly eager to dive into this game, and I envision taking my entire family on an epic adventure into the mysterious depths of the Crypt of Eternity. Together, we would face off against fearsome beasts and embark on thrilling quests to plunder ancient tombs in search of hidden treasures for real though. I can already picture us locating a merchant who deals in rare items, allowing us to enhance our journey even further. With my spellcasting abilities, I would harness the power of magic to harvest unique consumables—items that can only be acquired through intense battles in challenging rooms deep within the crypt. Let’s move this thing in the future now! I want to really play the Sims 4 now!Gallery Bedroom Count Filter??
Would it be very nice if there was a bedroom count filter in the gallery? I mean, you put how many bedrooms/ bathrooms there are in building mode so I'm just not understanding why we haven't gotten a bedroom count filter in the gallery? BEDROOMS NOT BEDS!!! The amount of time this would save me is astronomical!!! I never build and I rely on the lovely souls that do. I also play on Xbox and it would be VERY nice if this was added in an update in the near future PLEASE 😭Sims Not Taking Care of Themselves...
I normally play a household with two sims because players cannot just play with one sim without the others neglecting themselves. It quite annoying to be honest, as I want to play different types of families. Not sure if this can be fixed, but if the creators ever plan on making a new sims game, I feel this issue really needs to be addressed. At this point, I just play to build houses.
The Sims 4 likely for the Nintendo Switch 2?
Right now the Nintendo Switch 2 has been revealed as a successor video game console to the Nintendo Switch original video game console. So, by the way, do you think that The Sims 4 and all of its content packs is likely for the Nintendo Switch 2? Why? Please let me know, thanks.😉
Idea - family
It would be very nice if you made a pack that allowed your sim to give their child up for adoption, leave their child at fire station, also teen-pregnancy would be more realistic, you could then choose when you got pregnant if you wanted to have an abortion, keep the child or give up for adoption, this would invite an entire system for sims qualifying to be foster parents & adoptive parents. Your sim could interview potential parents themselves or go through the agency, as well as choose closed and open adoption. It would be really fun gameplay, as the child grows up, the adoptive parents could choose to reveal that they are adopted. We could then also have orphanages, you could run them and go there to meet and get to know children. There may be requirements to have a good income and enough space. Even adopting siblings.The Sims 4: Faith & Folly (Idea)
This invites you into a vibrant world of belief, rituals, and eccentric traditions, introducing a rich tapestry of faiths, cults, and communities for your Sims to explore. This expansion pack brings both reverence and whimsy to the forefront, with structured religions like the Worship of The Watcher, featuring solemn cathedrals and rhythmic dances, and satirical cults like the Kine Society, whose cow-themed rituals and offerings to Beelzebeef, the Prime Heifer, add a comedic twist. Whether your Sims join the soulful melodies of Ilmara, embrace the mysterious rituals of occult followers, or pursue materialistic devotion in the Church of Simoleonology, every belief system introduces unique gameplay. Build faith with the new Faith Bar, host interactive rituals, and celebrate faith-specific holidays like Watcher’s Day or Moo-Moon Night. Sims can explore new careers, from clergy member to cult leader, or gain fresh skills like Ritual Mastery and Sacred Cuisine. In the enchanting world of Divinora, discover grand temples, hidden grottos, and carnival grounds that serve as immersive backdrops for your Sims’ spiritual journeys. With dynamic new aspirations, traits, and objects like sacred altars and confession booths, Faith & Folly lets you craft a unique narrative of devotion, chaos, or skepticism. From devout worship to clownish absurdity, your Sims will find beauty, hilarity, and meaning in every step of their path. New Features Dire Chinchillas: Straight from the legends of The Sims Medieval on to The Sims 4, Dire Chinchillas make their chaotic return in Faith & Folly. These mischievous and slightly terrifying creatures are revered by certain cults as sacred animals, believed to carry the favor—or wrath—of The Watcher. Sims can tame, worship, or fear these unpredictable rodents. They may bring blessings during rituals, but beware—anger a Dire Chinchilla, and it might unleash a flurry of fur-filled chaos, scratching Sims into a very uncomfortable moodlet or worse. Keep their favor high with offerings of rare collectibles or risk their wrath! New Faiths and Cults The Worship of The Watcher: Rooted in The Sims Medieval, The Watcher is a benevolent overseer of all Sims. Choose from three distinct branches to guide your Sims' spiritual journey: Watchfulism: Inspired by Christianity of the Watcher, this faith emphasizes structure and solemnity. Sims attend mass in grand cathedrals, partake in prayer circles, and celebrate holidays like Watcher’s Day. Shalomea: Drawing from Jewish traditions of the Watcher, this branch celebrates family, community, and historical rituals. Sims can participate in weekly gatherings, light candles for special occasions, and read from sacred texts. Ilmara: Inspired by African American religious traditions of the Watcher, this vibrant faith features musical worship, rhythmic dances, and a strong sense of unity within the community. The Kine Society: A bovine cult worshiping Beelzebeef, the Prime Heifer, this group adds utter and absurdity. Members dress in cow-themed robes, host Moo-Moon ceremonies, and offer milk-based sacrifices to their deity. Fail to follow the rituals, and Beelzebeef might curse you with "Hoofed Misfortune." The Treaders of the Tragic Clown: A satirical group that reveres the Tragic Clown as a misunderstood prophet. Members perform melancholy plays, host clown-themed parties, and proselytize through the Social Bunny app. The more they cry, the more their faith grows. The Occultism Collective: A gathering of all things supernatural, this collective unites vampires, spellcasters, werewolves, and even ghostly Sims. Conduct seances, summon spirits, and perform arcane rituals. The more supernatural Sims involved, the stronger the rituals. The Church of Simoleonology: Worship the almighty Simoleon! This faith celebrates wealth and materialism. Sims make offerings of Simoleons, host extravagant feasts, and pursue careers in business or politics. Members can unlock unique rewards, such as a golden idol of the Simoleon. The Cirque Congregation: This traveling carnival-inspired group blends spirituality with fun. They hold lively gatherings filled with acrobatics, clown performances, and circus-themed rituals. Their motto? "Faith can be fun!" Followers of Wolf’s Bane: A werewolf-exclusive group that reveres the moon as their deity. They gather under the full moon to perform howling ceremonies, engage in pack-building activities, and hunt together in reverence of nature. Anonymous of the Doubter: A faith-neutral community that gathers skeptics and non-believers. They host science fairs, debates, and logic-focused events. Members gain bonuses in careers related to science and technology. Clan of the Cowplant: This group celebrates nature and the mysterious Cowplant. Members nurture gardens, perform outdoor rituals, and make offerings to their Cowplant to ensure it doesn’t eat them. Faith System Every Sim can now explore faith through a new Faith bar. Sims gain or lose faith depending on their actions, participation in rituals, and relationships with fellow believers. Low faith can lead to existential crises, while high faith grants unique buffs and interactions. Ritual System Rituals are interactive group events specific to each faith or cult. Examples include: Worship Ceremonies: Attend or lead services to gain Faith and form bonds. Sacred Feasts: Prepare and share unique dishes tied to your belief system. Seasonal Celebrations: Participate in faith-specific holidays, such as Watcher’s Day or Moo-Moon Night. Arcane Summoning: For occult followers, summon spirits or supernatural allies. New Lot Types Temple: A place of worship for structured religions. Shrine: A small, intimate lot for personal devotion or secret rituals. Cult Headquarters: A mysterious lot type where secrecy and eccentricity reign. New Holiday Options Customize the calendar with new religious holidays, complete with rituals, decorations, and traditions. Examples: Carnival of Lights: A faith-neutral celebration featuring food, music, and games. Sacrifice Day: For the Kine Society. (Don't worry, no Sims are harmed!) New Types of Death Death by Overwhelming Laughter: Tragic Clown followers can laugh themselves to death during a failed ritual. Death by Moo-Misstep (Beelzebeef’s Wrath): A Kine Society member offended Beelzebeef. Faithful Departure: Sims who reach the pinnacle of devotion ascend dramatically (or humorously) to "The Great Beyond." Cowplant Blessing Gone Wrong: A risky ritual performed by followers of the Clan of the Cowplant. If the blessing is mishandled or the Cowplant isn’t properly appeased, it may lash out, consuming the Sim in a fatal act of "divine punishment. New Careers Clergy Member: Rise through the ranks of your chosen faith, from a humble novice to a revered leader. Cult Leader: Start your own cult, recruit followers, and earn Simoleons through secretive donations. Part-Time Jobs Shrine Keeper: Tend to sacred spaces and earn Simoleons while building your Faith skill. Ritual Assistant: Help plan and execute rituals for various organizations. Afterschool Activity Young Acolytes: For children and teens. Practice rituals, study scripture, and host events. New Skills Ritual Mastery: Become an expert at leading rituals and inspiring followers. Sacred Cuisine: Learn to prepare unique dishes for religious ceremonies. Spiritual: Singing hymns, crafting sacred art, faith, a congregation or cult. New Traits Devout: Gains Faith faster and has stronger buffs during rituals. Spiritual: Gains a peaceful moodlet from meditation or prayer. Agnostic: Immune to most faith-related moodlets but gains bonuses in skeptical activities. Doubtful: Struggle to commit to faith or ideology, but excel in philosophical debates. Zealous: Gain a confidence boost during rituals but may get tense when others challenge their beliefs. Follower of Fortune: Focused on wealth as a measure of success; gains buffs from donations. New Aspirations Master of Faith: Rise to the top of your religion or cult. Skeptic Supreme: Debunk supernatural and religious myths. Spiritual Explorer: Explore all faiths, trying different rituals and customs. Spiritual Leader: Become the head of a religious group. Cult Icon: Build the most infamous cult. Cult Connoisseur: Start and expand your own cult, earning new recruits and unique rituals. New Objects Sacred Altars: Perform rituals and ceremonies. Confession Booths: Share secrets for moodlet boosts. Interactive Carnival Games: Perfect for Cirque Congregation members. Decorative Items: Stained glass, ritual candles, Cowplant statue. New World: Divinora A breathtaking world filled with temples, hidden ruins, and mystical landscapes. Districts include: Watcher’s Glade: Home to majestic temples and lush greenery. The Grotto: A hidden area perfect for occult followers. Carnival Crescent: Vibrant carnival grounds for Cirque Congregation members.

Pirate & Medieval expansions pack for Sims 4
So I tried to send a message to the Sims community and I do hope what they replied would be worth it… but since you do know more about Sims 4 stuff. I guess I can show ye, yar-yaaar! **Pirate & Medieval expansions pack for Sims 4** Lately, I tried to play Sims Medieval on the EA app, however, it was very broken and abandoned. And ever since I bought most of the DLC packs on Sims 4, I’m starting to realize….. maybe you should remaster Medieval & Pirates into Sims 4 as an expansion pack, which should give an option to be a pirate, noble, or a king as a career. Besides the living islands, you should make it into the pirate world expansion pack for Sims to sail around in their pirate ships and ghost ships. While I do understand that Jungle DLC has skeleton species, you should add the skeleton species into create a sim mode as an occults sim. And I think that would be a cool idea to add. For the expansion pirate & medieval pack, you should add several quests for sims to do the things. There wasn’t a lot of pirate stuff besides in the gallery so I decided maybe it’s time I suggest that. You can also customize your pirate ships, which that is if you’re able to. It’s that or the Sims medieval remaster along with Pirate pack! What do ye think of these ideas?
