Why can't sims just marry at the Courthouse?
I bought the Wedding expanmsion pack and have NEVER had a good experience with it. Maybe it is broken but I plan wedding events and then the sims can never get the interactions to work. I just sit and scream at the computer because it just makes me crazy when I just want them to get married already and they keep falling asleep or have to pee in the middle of the whole thing. Ridiculous. Also, shouldn't we just be able to have Civil Ceremonies at the Courthouse like in previous sims games? Just go and pay a fee and then you are married. I could have designed a better pack. There should be NPCs just just carry out the whole wedding for you. You pay them and then the venue handles the whole affair instead of your sim having to try and figure out how everything is supposed to work and then doesn't.
What am I paying for?
I was just soft locked from my sims4, like sure it's my choise to pay such a riddicolus ammount for a game BUT if i put in more than 4000 swedish kronor in to all the expansions the game should be bug free? Or is that just me whom feel this way? I lost more than 3 houres of progress just becouse the game soft locked. It,s soo lazy of the developers and then the only way i could find a way to coplain is thru a discussion with people who isn't even a form of developer for the game..... Im dissapointed how do i contact ea directly? Why isn't it esier AND WHY is every game like 456 kr, Like the f "small" packs are like a 100kr ?? How is the packs costing the company soo much???
Things I'd like to see in the next update.
I've been playing Sims since the beginning. Id like to see some features of the past games in the next update or at some point in Sims 4. I wish to see drivable cars once again and functional garages. One other thing I'd really really want to see is in game editing (Build/Buy mode ). Think of how cool it'd be to have the ability to find the perfect shade of the color you want for your furniture/walls.
Burnt food should make a comeback.
As the title says because previous games had burnt food we need to bring it back especially with the fire like when the fire is out the food is gone or you have to throw it away but in previous games the food was burnt some times Sims burnt the food without the fire and I liked the idea especially if the Sims are trying to learn how to cook burning the food will be high up with both cooking and baking skill also in previous games the burnt food was still edible yes the Sims couldn't stand but it was edible.
Underwater Camera
This has bugged me for a while now; they gave us mermaids, but they never gave us a camera setting to photograph them underwater. Not even the underwater photographer career lets you set up your own photos, but that's a whole different topic. To me, at least, this doesn't make sense, as I'd love to photograph them underwater in different poses. It just comes across as the camera settings were ignored when mermaids were added to the game. Such a missed opportunity. I'd also like for them to be able to interact with marine life and other mermaids underwater, but that's a whole different conversation.
"Give Everyone a Taste of Seasons - Make It Free for a Limited Time!"
Hello EA Team, l am a player of The Sims 4 and my name is Ayla.I believe that some of The Sims 4 expansion packs offer content that enriches the core gaming experience. Specifically, the Seasons pack adds seasonal changes to the game, making the overall atmosphere more vibrant. I feel that these packs are essential for a comprehensive and enjoyable gaming experience. I think it would be great if these packs, especially the Seasons pack, could be made available for free for a limited time. This would allow players who do not own these packs to experience and enjoy the game more fully. Than you for considering my feedback.💗
[BG] New color swatches
Do you have any suggestion of BASE GAME items (create a sim or build/buy) that should get new color swatches? Drop it here. Add the cardigan top color swatches to the cardigan dress and vice-versa. Add the male varsity jacket color swatches to the female varsity jackets and vice-versa.
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.
Idea: Superhero/Villain and Royalty Expansion Packs with Save Toggles
I think a simple World Toggle System would let players enjoy Royalty or Superhero gameplay without changing every save. When you start a brand-new save, you’d pick one of four world types: Regular (Classic Sims): Everything works as it does now. Royalty Save: Unlocks a castle-themed world and assigns titles (king, queen, emperor, empress, duke, duchess, etc.) to some NPCs. Everyone else is a commoner. Superhero/Villain Save: Unlocks a comic-style city where a few NPCs gain superhero or villain roles along with superpowers. The rest are ordinary citizens, because not everyone in a Marvel or DC universe is flying around in a cape. Both Royalty + Superhero: If you own both packs, you can enable both systems in the same save, giving you access to both themed worlds and role types. Your choice affects only that save file and existing worlds like Sulani, Willow Creek, etc. stay exactly the same. Sulani won’t suddenly sprout castles, and Oasis Springs won’t be crawling with masked vigilantes. If you choose Royalty or Superhero mode, an extra themed world appears just for that save. If you pick a Regular save, those themed worlds could still be available, but they’d behave like standard worlds (no titles or superpowers). CAS integration: In a Royalty save, CAS would show a dropdown (next to relationships and pronouns) where you can assign a title to your Sim or leave them as a commoner. In a Superhero save, that same slot lets you mark a Sim as a hero or villain, or leave them an ordinary citizen. If you choose hero or villain, a new panel (like the aspiration or trait section) appears to let you select their superpowers. When you hit Play, the game automatically assigns a few NPCs appropriate titles or hero/villain roles so you don’t have to. All clothing, furniture, and Build/Buy items from these packs would remain available in every save, no matter what world type you choose. This idea would also make Royalty and Superheroes work more like gameplay roles rather than occults, so you could still have the option to make a mermaid queen or an alien superhero. If they were occults instead, you’d be stuck choosing one or the other, making it feel limited as to what you can actually do and create. I’m not a modder or a dev—just someone sharing an idea in case it sparks discussion or inspires someone who can make it happen. If anything ever comes of it, I’d appreciate credit for the concept. I also posted this on Reddit to see what people there think too. It’s probably a long shot that EA or anyone else notices, but it can’t hurt to get the conversation going.
Will the game ever add strollers?
I got the toddler stuff pack for the play dates, but I can't really use it because there's no toddlers walking around the towns and just having a random on the toddler on the loose doesn't look right. So I believe the shoulders should have been added with the toddler stuff. Pack or growing together expansion pack. Another way is you could have toddlers can make friends in daycare.Scared emotion
Is it just me or anyone else thinks the scared emotion isn't making any sense? It's so overreactive that we barely see any difference from the Terrified emotion and it also pops up so easily and, being so overreactive, just annoys the gameplay. So my suggestion is: • Remove from Scared ➡️ Keep on Terrified: - Scared walkstyle - Scream Incoherently - Hide Under The Covers (bed) - Take a Panicked Poop (toilet)
Lack of gameplay objects in The Sims 4
With the new pack Enchanted by Nature looking once again empty, I think it is evident now what is missing in The Sims 4 packs - gameplay objects. All previous games and their DLCs were built around gameplay objects, regardless if they were for skill, for daily life (like washing machines) or just for fun. We had packs like The Sims 2 Freetime with several objects for hobbies or packs like The Sims 3 Supernatural with related and unrelated objects like arcade games. The Sims 4 focuses to much on the invisible or UI gameplay, like various systems for Sims personality and relationship, or quests, rabbithole events and managment of something (like recently business management). Even the new upcoming pack is again focusing on this type of gameplay by including ailments and luck system While I'm grateful for some system and UI elements, like Milestones or better businesses, we just need more variety for the gameplay now. More gameplay interactable objects, for skills or just for fun. With all the packs, we already could have got like pool table or new music instrument - the new pack would be perfect opportunity to include harp.
can we have multiple Occults?
i'm glad to have a occult slot since October from last year sure i admit they should make it a hybrid occult meaning you have more than 1 occult because it's so chaotic if you have 1 parent who's a mermaid and the other a vampire, they should work on that issue first and don't make it chaotic at all but if the team improve that i bet we can make a hybrid occult the missing occults is up for an another story (i just shared my idea with the occult that never existed in The Sims games, not even the earlier ones) after improving it in my opinion it should be possible to make a hybrid occult without overlapping each other i hope the team or EA consider it atleast?Dancing + Singing (Expansion) Pack

It's for both basegame and in packs and in my opinion it should be unlimited with its likes/dislikes -Foods and Drinks categories (i was surprised it didn't came with home chef hustle along with basegame updates) -Books types categories -TV channels and Movies types categories -Occults categories -Weather and/or Seasons related categories -Sports categories -Animals and Pets categories -Careers and Freelances categories -Life stages categories -Games types categories -Flower types categories (not the hobby one in itself but more like some type of flowers like maybe you love tullips yet hates sunflowers for examble) I almost mentioned things that's already in the game but i can't think of other things the team should add but maybe the team should add a few more personalities type likes/dislikes because a couple of the personality traits got added so it deserves to add a few more likes/dislikes in the existing categories And like i said i honestly think the likes/dislikes should be unlimited (like the lot challenges do) They can add likes/dislikes categories for both basegame and the packsCan we add something with some kind of food/drinks allergies in CAS?
It always annoyed me we have lactose intolerant as a trait, i rather have it with allergic in CAS, some people have other food/drinks allergies We also need a food likes/dislikes category but i seperate it with the other topic, but food/drinks allergic shouldn't be a trait but more like in as like a category we don't have yet (maybe just like lovestruck how they added seperate category for sims who have their preferences to other sims when it comes to love but more like in food/drinks versions) I hope the team add a different category with the food allergic so we can turn it on because some people are allergic with some foods and drinks
