Generational & Rotational Playing - Boarding schools & Uni Options
Hello, I am new to the forums, I came here to look for ideas to facilitate generational playing and rotational playing. It is good to see that some have already thought of boarding schools. May I add a different thought? It is currently hard -well, nearly impossible - to have large families over multiple generations: In the second generation it is already difficult to see all the kids through school. In addition High School Years is now the buggiest expansion pack. University is a lovely pack, hardly any bugs. However, it currently set up in such a way, that unplayed sims (i.e. every sim in a big family due to rotational playing)- is likely to drop out. -> Many simmers who are drawn to generational or rotational playing do not use or buy this lovely EP. Two suggestions: Boarding schools for various needs for kids an teens. In order to be fair to the emotional needs of "real-life" children, I suggest that a child may return home due to homesickness. (If not enabled for all players - at least as an update to the bugged high school years. Update Universities, please: All sims have traits and lifestyles now. Based on that, please establish a system that concerning UNPLAYED sims works in a way that: a) Sims with traits etc that amount to lazy, slacker, disinterested ... have a high chance of dropping out. If they pass, then without impressive marks and it takes them a long time to finish. b) Sims with traits like ambitions, competitive, genious... have a high chance of passing a "basic" degree with good marks in an "average" amount of time. Concerning a "distinguished" degree they might do less well or take longer. c) Any average Sim will just about manage in an "average" time. Thank you for considering the problem. And thanks, everybody, for your inspiring ideas elsewhere. I loved the idea of a kind of Hogwarts somewhere.
New theater jobs
I think there could be some more active playable Jobs, one in particular i have in mind would be a Theater. Since there are already jobs as a comedian and singer, it would be amazing to actually make the Sim perform on stage and having other Sims sit in that Theater. Adding some new joboptions such as: Dancing career - Ballet and Breakdance (In Ballet a child could already start visiting classes, they could get famous when reaching adulthood and if they have enough skills for the Theater. Breakdance would start at teenage age and could be merged with the Highschool Pack for example.) Music Career - Musicals and Bands (In Musicals you need acting, dancing and singing skills and it would be about which parts you get to play as. You can also create your own Band and have to start with performing in Bars and Events, when your Band gets famous enough you can then perform a Concert in the Theater.) Some add ons with more music instruments like cello, drums and flutes, which would also be needed for the Bands.Missing Style Filters for Vampire Dresses
Neither vampire dresses have a style filter. I've gone through each one, and they only show up when no filters are applied. I figured they'd probably fit in with polished or gala or something, but currently they don't apply to any styles, which is annoying when I'm trying to fit with certain styles for the buff and I like using these dresses.
The Sims 4 Blocked in countries it shouldn't be.
I live in lebanon, and found out that sims 4 is blocked in my region both on steam and EA. I looked into it, and my country has not oficially banned Sims 4. What i think happened is: It is supposed to be blocked in a FEW arab MENA countries, but EA instead has blanket-blocked it in ALL MENA countries regardless if the country wanted it to be banned or not. This most definitly an over-sight that should be fixedSİMS 4 -ONE PİECE
I would love to see One Piece-themed furniture and decorations added to The Sims 4. Items like pirate ship-inspired furniture, anime-style posters, themed clothing, and decorative objects based on the One Piece world would make the game much more fun and unique. It could also include items inspired by characters, islands, and the overall pirate adventure theme. This kind of content would attract both Sims players and anime fans, bringing more creativity and storytelling possibilities into the game. I believe a collaboration or themed pack like this would be very popular among the community.I hate drama / Memory Boost
Why doesn't the development team care about what I want Because of jealousy The Sims die quickly and this goes against my playstyle I play with 150 Sims with customizations of course because the development team doesn't like free ideas For the millionth time make it possible to play with 150 Sims and customize them simultaneously and to remove the jealousy Personally I don't like drama. My whole life is a disgusting drama If the Sims are the same, then there's no point in playing The Sims for me And I know I'm not bothered by this given the number of annoying drama addicts Memory Boost Why doesn't it work with Smooth Motion Nvidia Memory Boost It has never been improved it still only improves graphics with average performance
Occult specific careers for aliens and spellcasters.
I don't think all occults need a unique career option, I just can't help but notice the big potential for spellcasters and aliens in that regard. Spellcasters could get the option for a job in the magic realm, not an active career but something more suitable for them to do than some mundane job. They could advance in ranks, becoming an apprentice all the way to becoming a circle's arch mage. They would unlock some nice robes, wands, a cauldron and broom along the way, and some new magic interactions. It would make being a mage more engaging. Improving their spellcasting rank could be a promotion requirement through it as well, and the job only becomes available to spellcasters. Aliens could get an earth explorer career which could be a lot of fun. It's all about learning about earth and sims. Could be great as an active career, but can work otherwise too with very interesting assignments. Their career would unlock new alien powers, an alien rocketship with matching space suit, and some other alien stuff.
Suggestion: Jobs For Dance Skills & Singing Skills
Dance skills. Currently, this skill only improves your dancing ability and cannot be used as a profession. I think that's a waste. There are many possible professions, such as dance instructors or backup dancers. Of course, this would require the significant work of motion capture and the creation of new code. However, I think it would be wonderful if players could feel even more familiar with the many amazing songs provided by music creators by having Sims dance to them. And then there are singing skills. Currently, the only goal to improve this skill is writing lyrics, and even then, only lyrics on given themes. I think there should be a profession for singer-songwriters, and it would be great if Sims could combine it with dance skills to become singers who sing and dance, as many musicians do today. Creating professions with cross-packs might be a bit complicated, and planning and construction might be difficult. However, I think that a game like The Sims 4, which has been around for over 10 years, needs a refresh of older packs, something that was only done once before.
IDEA: Utility Appliances | Appliances | Build Buy Organization
Let’s expand the Appliances category from the Kitchen to the Utility Room! Utility Appliances are objects designed for a specific use, particularly related to tasks like cleaning, washing clothes, power generation and home maintenance. For the Sims, this subcategory could expand to include lawn care and vehicle maintenance if these features were to be introduced to the game. Objects by Function > Appliances > Utility Appliances EXAMPLE of Utility Appliances as a subcategory: Google PDF: Sims 4 Organize BB Appliances - Utility Benefits: Player search convenience, clarity Provide a home for Miscellaneous Appliances Clear out appliances from Activities & Skills Reduce object volume of the Miscellaneous Appliances subcategory Base Game Utility Appliances Dishwasher Consider adding More Dishwashers for Base Game | EA Forums DLC Utility Appliances [ECO] Recycler [ECO] Power Generation [ECO] Water Collection [LDSP] Washer, Dryer [LDSP] Clothes Line, Wash Basin [DO][PH][FR] Dishwashers [FR][RWK] Electrical Panel [FR][RWK] Water Heater [BDK] Vacuums [CD] Robot Vacuums [S] Weather Control Device [S] Sprinkler Heating & Cooling Appliances Radiators and AC Units are not included in this suggested Utility subcategory. That is because I am proposing that Fireplaces be moved from the Decorations category and reassigned as an Appliance. Fireplaces are functional, interactive and upgradable, whereas Decorations (where Fireplaces are currently housed) are not.

Thank you for considering my suggestions and ideas.
Broken objects too frequent
All of my households upgrade their appliances, plumbing etc so they don't break as often but still there's a handful of objects that break every. single. day. It's too much! I do save every sim day - because I have to given the sims's track record with crashing and lagging. I heard saving may be causing this. Still, it's too much. Please either give everything a fully unbreakable upgrade option or reduce the frequency. Never used cc or mods. Mac.
Sims 4 business and hobbies
I feel like you should be able to tattoo the eyes as that's also a very common place people tattoo, it would add more realism and quality to the pack . I also think now that now the creators have stopped making packs ect they should also add more hairdressing features to this pack , as most people have to have the get famous pack in order to mimick it , adding just a few hairdressing equipment and the ability to draw on hair for the hairdressing aspect (like the tattoos ) it would make a whole lot of people buy the pack as well as making the pack to it's best potential and making it worthwhile!
