More representation for Slavic players
As someone who is Slavic (Slovak/Czech) I honestly feel kind of disappointed in the sims team for not giving us any Slavic pack or world. We have a expansion pack on the Asian community like for rent expansion pack and snowy escapes and then there's the lovestruck pack which is more for the Latin/Hispanic community etc. Not a single one for SLAVIC players no world pack or kits. We need more representation of the Slavic community.
De nouveaux ajouts qui pourrait être cool à avoir et certains plus réaliste
J'aimerais beaucoup voir quelques nouveautés dans les sims, certaine pourrait être des mise à jour de pack ou du jeux de base ou encore des nouveaux kits d'objets Mes idées sont bien différente mais certaine pourrait rendre le jeu plus réaliste et sympa à jouer : Des voitures (avec la possibilité pourquoi pas de créer un garage) Comme dans les sims 3 avoir la possibilité d'avoir une porte de garage fonctionnel Comme dans les sims 3 avoir une voiture ou le bus venant chercher nos sims qui vont au travail ou en cours (plutôt que de les voir disparaitre d'un coup) Avoir des portail plus grand pour rentrer une voiture (ça irait avec le thème des voitures et des porte de garage fonctionnel) Pourquoi pas pour rester dans le thème des voitures avoir la possibilité de passer le permis. Pour rester dans le thème des voitures pour voir créer des parkings sous terrain, en étage où classique, des parkings pour les commerces ou les immeubles avec soit des places de parking a faire nous même avec des objets ou des places pré faite dans le mode construction, des places handicapés ou réservé aux employés par exemple, des barrières ouverte et ferme pour les parking privé. Avoir plus d'objets pour halloween par exemple : des paillasson, des objets a accrocher aux fenêtres ou à la porte, des objets de décoration tel que des squelettes, des mort vivants, des objets effrayant, la possibilité de créer halloween avec l'option de balader dans le quartier et de taper aux porte avec une fonction des bonbons ou un sort etc..., des papiers peint pour halloween m, des bougies pour halloween, pouvoir avoir une option comme noel pour décorer la maison et pourquoi avoir la possibilité que nos sims mette les décorations, des guirlande (lumineuse ou non) d'halloween ... Avoir plus d'objets pour Noël comme un calendrier de l'avant (fonctionnel ou non même si fonctionnel ce serait vraiment trop cool), des chaussettes a accroché à la cheminée, des guirlande (lumineuse ou non) a accroché soit au sapin soit au mur ou même encore sur la porte ou a l'extérieur, des décoration pour le jardin (des cerf, des père Noël, un traîneau etc... ces objets pourrait être lumineux ou non), la possibilité d'avoir un village de noel (a créer ou non), pouvoir acheter des cadeaux un peu plus réaliste (surtout pour les bambins et les ados) et les déposer au pied du sapin etc ... Avoir des sonnettes fonctionnel et pourquoi pas des interphones avec la possibilité d'avoir à l'intérieur une caméra pour voir la personne qui sonne chez nous Avoir des boîtes aux lettres supplémentaires un peu plus réaliste comme nous avons en France (quel soit sur pieds, collé au mur ou dans le mur avec l'ouverture de l'autre côté ou non, des demi boîtes aux lettres, des batterie de boîte aux lettres comme nous avons dans les immeubles en France. Avoir la possibilité de créer un terrain comme il était possible de faire dans les sims 2 et il me semble aussi dans les sims 3 en choisissant nous la taille du terrain (certains endroits dans les sims sont tellement vide ou alors ce sont des maisons qui servent uniquement de déco, ça serait tellement bien de pouvoir les faire nous) Avec le pack nettoyage il serait bien de pouvoir voir nos sims passer l'aspirateur dans chaque pièces ou uniquement les pièces choisit, de pouvoir passer la serpillière, faire les poussières. Pour avoir la possibilité de faire le lit (je sais que ce n'est pas grand chose mais c'est un peu plus réaliste Voir le facteur passe pour mettre le courrier ou remettre les colis (pour les commandes sur internet) Dans le pack chiens et chats pouvoir avoir des niches pour les chiens Dans le pack vie aux ranch pouvoir voir nos sims participer à des concours hippique
Saudi Arabia EA acquisition?
Surprised that since the news broke yesterday no one here has mentioned it, is EA banning it? I'm an avid Sims 4 player and was shocked to learn that the Saudi Arabia government (along with two other investment groups) is poised to acquire and privatize EA as soon as next week. Is anyone else concerned about what this could mean for the game?? Specifically cc, which I could see being banned from the game to force players to buy packs instead. Thoughts?
Future of the game
Hi, It could be a good opportunity to be less serious and more focused on humor. Maxis could try to focus on male sims and masculine activities, on having fun more than just copy/paste the boring IRL everyday life. Life in The Sims 4 can't stay more limited than TS1, TS2 and TS3, players also want to escape the routine. Fantasy and humor are the strength of The Sims franchise compared to inZOI and Paralives which are boring to death, so maintaining this aspect could save the game because they are values shared by everybody, I mean every players like to dream and laugh. And Maxis should be less focused on US topics and go back to universal values inspired by an international point of view. If I'm not wrong about 75% are non-US players so it would make sense to take care of them more.
Let's Have a Cars and Wheels Stuff Pack
I miss cars!!! I want to petition EA to do a Cars and Wheels stuff pack that adds motorcycles and cars. Vehicles pop in the inventory and can be placed on a parking spot (transparent with a curb stop of different colors). Selecting it from a Sims inventory would route you to the world travel screen. It would also introduce the driving skill, which you can select any sim and have them practice driving with another, which builds relationships. If no other sim is available or qualified to mentor, they can select their vehicle and select "practice driving at DMV" which both options can provide a variety of moods and scenarios cards. The mechanic skill would also be introduced with a Mechanic NPC job. Hot Rod Aspirations would now be a thing. A cheap car will give tense moodlets for "being late" and angry for "breaking down". A car enthusiast trait would be sad to own a cheap car. A luxury car would give them a confident moodlets. When arriving at a location, other Sims could get happy from "seeing" an expensive car, or embarrassed from seeing a poor one. Scared moodlets for motorcycles would be for Sims with low driving skill and can only be for skill 5 or up. Cars could have upgrades when parked, weither your sim does it their self with a mechanic skill, or hires a professional to do it (instant but pricey) I would believe upgrade car parts can be scavanged and would be needed for upgrades and they would be rare and more expensive than electronic upgrade parts. Customizing colors, paints, rims, and upgrading the interior would be options that make the car your own (Similar to how the holiday house decorating box works and has a lot of options for seasons) I would say the loading screens would still be a thing, but it gives an extra breath of life, especially for those who like building garages and having cars, no more cheats on toys.
Im stuck on going back to the world select
Hello, I've deleted cache and deleted some mods on the mac. But sadly, im stuck on going back to the menu to the worlds. Is there a way to solve this? I've also moved my mods to the desktop I don't which mod is conflicting I'm using the latest MCCC Mod I've repaired game but it still happenedSims 4: Changing Sims' Heights??
Just thought of this, wanted to know what you guys think!! Pretty sure there's no actual way to do this properly in cas (I know we can change their postures, which partially changes their height but not a lot), but I wanted to change the heights of some of my sims. Thought it could be a cool addition to the game, and allows for a bit more inclusivity and personalisation to sims!! Thoughts?? :)
Please do something about #mccc_include in the Gallery
Every time I check The Sims 4 Gallery, the comment section of popular sim content is always flooded with "#mccc_include". Even though some people explain that this tag won't work here, people still spam this. I knew that these issues had existed for many years, and a lot of people had complained there. But the number of people who misunderstand is many more. The mod itself already explains that posting #mccc_include in the comment section isn't the right way to use it. So, it would be better if The Sims Team did something to protect the Gallery or make this place better. "#mccc_include" comment should be treated like "SPAM". Because it doesn't have any worth to stay there without context. If the game can have hard-censorship like how it prevents the surname "Yama**bleep**a" because of some silly reason (can't mention here but people might know), or you can clean offensive content. Can you do something to clean the spamming comments there, too? However, I realized later that the game can't ban this tag for the whole, because people can't use this tag in the description. Ahh, it may be harder than I thought. I just want to clean "mccc_include" in the comment section. ---- This doesn't affect the gameplay, and I can ignore this. But it would be better if the gallery were cleaned from having spam like this.
How many just check here to see if they're finally making Events optional?
Holler here if live Events drove you away from the game, so they can see at least a small slice of the people who will just move on and won't ever even tell them why they left. Please don't post here just to say "I like the Live Events." That's fine for you, and I'm not trying to take them away from you, but they're not optional for those of us who find they ruin the entire Sims 4 experience. I haven't played Sims 4 since the Grim Reaper event, which was incredibly disruptive to my ongoing goals in the game. Once I realized they weren't even responding to the requests to make it optional, I uninstalled the game. I miss it. But it's not the same game anymore. Before this endless lineup of Events, I spent hundreds of dollars on The Sims 4. I played it to make my own stories, not to have F2P-mobile style bells and whistles demanding I follow a path they set out for me. So I've been waiting, and waiting, and waiting to hear that they've decided to make these events opt-out WITHOUT REMOVING THE GALLERY alongside it. I enjoy importing lots others have made; that is NOT the same as wanting live events. Just one little checkbox somewhere in options: "Disable Live Events", to make it go away. People who love them can still do them, and people who hate them but are otherwise still fine spending money on your products can come back and enjoy all the xpacks you release in the future. Or give an explanation as to why you refuse to make them optional for otherwise happy paying players. The silence is deafening. Would be very curious to see how many other forum-checkers other than myself have uninstalled/quit the Sims 4 until this specific change is made.why doesn't cottage living have this ?
I've been thinking about it for a while because I've been playing the Sims for a long time since I was little and it would be nice if it was actually cottage living with more interaction with animals. How can horses, cats and dogs be reproduse? Why isn't there a cottage living for cows and goats and llamas? Sheep are also missing, so it would be nice to have a real cottage living, not only to have milk, but to be able to make butter from it and many many other things. Like in a real village ..the sims 4 laptop cartoon sims
I don't understand why there are 2 cartoonish skins and close to reality on the laptop while the desktop computer has a semi realistic skin and better colors and clarity in the display while the laptop is bad. All the games are beautiful copies of Windows except for The Sims 4 The laptop graphics should be upgraded and made better in terms of colors and graphics and make in the game settings the possibility of choosing the number of sims in the world and if the players want cartoonish graphics or not and cancel jealousy in the game settings and a color wheel for everything in the game
Infants, Toddlers and Elders.
So I'm happy that the kids finally got stuff and gameplay dedicated to them with the camp, the playground, the IF and many more things. Infants and toddlers and elders still I feel neglected like with stuff and how the elders don't have their own gameplay dedicated to them. Let's with newborn, infants and toddlers I would like to see pacifiers it can soothe all three to sleep or to stop crying, also imagine trying to ween off a toddler from the Pacifier. Toddlers and Infants with the strollers like I give credit where credit is due to the Devs thank you for having Toddlers and infants more in the world however I would like to see strollers out in the world like in reality you see people walking down the street with the babies in the strollers, even at the parks or when they are walking the dogs. Infants need more equipment like I get the playmate but someone was playing Sims 2 and 3 and I forgot we had a baby swing and I was like omg it made me tear up because I miss those swings, an infant can be in a swing or a bouncy, or a baby rocker. Toddlers now I love they can play at the playground we need the toddler swings the bucket looking ones, the springer playground equipment. A tricycle, motorized cars they can sit in and drive around. Elders we need walkers, canes, maybe even a wheelchair, I know we have dentures in CAS and BB but what if we have a gameplay and a sim with no teeth and they put they teeth in. Or brush they dentures. Elders have a little less strenuous exercise. Also we need a potion so Elder don't have to die from over excersion. Any more thoughts Simmers???
Feedback: Likes & Dislikes Activity category
I think we all know that likes and dislikes were supposed to add depth to the sims personalities even thought they merely give us anything rather than moodlets (at least the activities ones) which should be changed too. But i think the activities avaible as likes and dislikes are wrongly tied to skills only which is pretty controversial because this category is also called "Hobbies and skills" but only focus on skills. My suggestion is to add more hobbies that aren't skill related. Here's an example of hobbies avaible on clubs dos and don'ts that aren't only skill related:San Myshuno, part 2
Hi, Technically San Myshuno is a big city, right ? So it should have more than 5 neighborhoods. I also think Spice Market is the best neighborhood that Maxis has ever done. I like these points and I would like to see them again : Vibrant neighborhood Low polygon background people Flea market + one festival : Maybe a black market selling corrupted cheat codes and rewards (Satisfaction Rewards, ...) Weirdos wandering Street artists Small open area but well designed and optimized for social life in city But this time it would be wonderful if Maxis could do smaller apartments with a system similar to Tiny Home Residential including apartments with terrace and Sliding doors. Starter apartments for single students because actually EP03 City Living apartments are too big. For example IRL my first apartment was 5x6 (30m², living room + bathroom + kitchen + terrace). This new part of the city could include rabbithole businesses/services like Movie theater, Landgraab Grocery store (low quality industrial fruit/vegetable), Fast food restaurant, ...
Female Sims show either as unemployed or housewife
Female Sims who are not working are sometimes displayed as unemployed or housewives. Why the difference and the randomness? Why are some female sims shown as unemployed and some are as housewives?? All of those are unemployed. I play my game in German, and "unemployed" is displayed as "Arbeitslos" and "housewife" as "Hausfrau." which is kind of the same thing but "Hausfrau" sounds better and is more appropriate nowadays. I prefer ALL my unemployed female Sims to be displayed as housewives "Hausfrau" and not unemployed because generally speaking, cleaning and taking care of the household AND members is also work! just like in RL. BTW, the word 'unemployed' is no longer appropriate and long outdated. Today, the term is either "job seeker" - "arbeitssuchend" or "housewife." - "Hausfrau" Please EA, consider making a change in this regard for ALL female Sims who are "unemployed" to be displayed as "housewife." - "Hausfrau" and stop the difference and the randomness.Greece and Rome inspired world with possibly Angel sims
I'd liked to see a world based on Greece and a touch of Rome and there can be 3 neighborhoods each with temples to the gods. Communicating with Gods: You can unlock the ability by studying Mythology and when communicating with a god at the alter, a light shines down upon the alter and your sim who is kneeing at it. A Favor Point System: The Gods can do things for your sims after they gain favor like help max out a skill or reset occult mastery, etc. Favor can work like satisfactory points, except you got to go to temples to spend them for rewards. One way to get favor for some gods is to do good things like help a sim out. Other gods, you may have to be mean or fully embrace your sims occult life state like Vampire's feeding on humans or you can offer gems that correspond to the god you are comminating with for favor. First Neighborhood: A group of Islands Mermaids can pray and commune with a God of the Sea at an ocean Greek temple on a sunken sand bank covered in shallow water. This temple being next to with the Goddess of Music. On an small island, a Greek temple for a God of Time and Space for Aliens shared with a lighthouse with a rocky base and telescope at the top. Second Neighborhood: A large Island with coastline town at a mountain base. Fairies and Plantsims can commune with the Goddess of Nature and Harvest and 4 demi goddesses of the seasons at a Greek temple on a hill on a large island and a Roman Temple of the Goddess of Romance and Beauty shares the same garden as Nature Temple. Nature and Harvest Goddess can grant fairy mastery reset, a chance for twins and triplets and increase all nature related and cooking skills. Mocking her will curse your sim with infertility, an anti-green thumb curse where even a cactus will die. Romance and Beauty Goddess can grant attraction from every sims regardless of turn ons and turns offs, the ability to woohoo strangers, mend broken hearts and can increase Romance and Charisma Skills. With vampires, she can grant the max charming ability to be unlocked without using vampire mastery points. Mocking her will have your sim be cursed with unattractiveness and any relationship can become broken like instant divorce and your sim's partner will not even be heartbroken about it. On another hill of the same island with flowers linked to day and night that glow during night surrounding a Temple for a Sun God of Harmony for Hybrids and his wife, the Goddess of Magic, for Spellcasters. The Sun God has Twin sisters at the temple as well, the Moon Goddesses, One for Vampires and the other for Werewolves. These goddesses can help increase your occult sim's experience to the next level, they can reset masteries and increase skills linked to the occult type and help spellcasters unlock potion recipes and spells. The Magic Goddess can even grant new spells and potions that you can only get from her like potions that turn sims into occults. The Sun God can love hybrids that he can grant secondary occult mastery or even combine the masteries into like Magic Vamp Mastery with dark caster form, Were Magic Mastery with glowing fur at the tips of a dark wolf form, Were Magic Vamp Mastery with dark caster form with glowing fur on the tips of wolf ears and tail. A temple on the coastline for the God of Artisan, he can increase all crafting and cooking skills. Mocking him will curse your sim with clumsiness and poor quality goods. Third Neighborhood: Mountain top town New angel sims can commune with a sim version of the King of Gods at a Roman temple at the highest point of the mountain that over looks a Roman Coliseum. Sims can get a job of God's messenger or an Apostle. Ghosts, the Grim Reaper and Grimborn sims can commune with the God of Death at a swampy temple under the temple to the King of Gods as may be a long forgotten hidden realm. Zombies and skeletons can seen here as ancient guards and there's a reaper ferry boatman controlling the boat in an underground ghostly swamp with ghostly hands that try to reach inside the boat. By communicating with the God of Death, Grimborn sims can become a Reaper without reaching the top of the Reaper career after gaining enough favor, Ghosts can be revived after gaining enough favor and the Grim Reaper calls the god father. A third Roman Temple to the God of War and Chaos for Malevolent sims, mean and evil deeds gains favor with this God or a corresponding gemstone. This god can grant all sorts of misfortune to your sims enemie's like cause discord in friendships, daily bad luck and break relationships. This God can even grant a normal sim, the strength to brawl with a werewolf or vampire and win. Spirits with the Mark of Evil can gain favor faster.
