Can we have an orphanage pack?
Game Pack or Expansion Pack i'm fine with both either way but i think Game Pack match better I saw a post i decided to make my own version: Idea - family | EA Forums - 11848570 It needs to have the lot type like maybe called "Orphanage/Orphan house" meaning babies, infants, toddlers, children (and maybe even teenagers) get send there because their parents either died or can't take care of their kids and maybe even lack of money and space I'm doing a certain challenge your sim is very poor with barely stuff in the house and even less space, i make a story the mom (or dad if abducted by an alien) gets pregnant by "accident" but once the baby (or babies) are born i'm forced to go to worldmap to move the baby to either an another parent (if this other parent isn't active) or to strangers but it shouldn't be like that There should be an option to put your baby (or babies) up for adoption and maybe even add an open adoption if you still want to see your kid(s) and maybe once the parent(s) decided to change their minds and are more stable with their incomes and space maybe they can adopt their kid(s) back and if not and their kid(s) get adopted by their foster parents they should still see their own kid(s) In the orphanage itself it needs activities that can build up their skills The adult (or elder) sim who works there should interview the adult or couple and give them informations about the orphan kids history and if they decided to adopt them, they can choose which one they want to adopt and bring the kid to its new home If the kid is a baby, infant or toddler and they turns into a child or teen they can reveal that they are adopted, maybe they get a sad moodlet or angry moodlet depending on their personalities and situations (very similair with how someone reveal the news like pregnancy for examble) Speaking of getting adopted: if you play in an orphan household, the message should pop-up an adult or couple are coming so the person who works in an orphanage can show them around and give them information and once it's finished the kids needs to be on the best behaviour so the chances are bigger they get adopted (if the kids has siblings it should be possible to adopt them both so they won't get seperated from each other) This person (i shared the link) mentioned teenage pregnancy and abortion but something like that won't happen but i love this person's idea with everything else, i just made a longer version of what this person have mentioned Just a thought!Solvedsailorleontine8 days agoSeasoned Ace85Views1like3CommentsSims 4 Hospital Health Expansion Pack idea
Expansion pack idea: Health & Disease | EA Forums - 5021523 someone made a topic it inspired me to create my own version I also saw an another one in which i like the idea of it Theme hospital | EA Forums - 12149354 The first one i think it should be optional to toggle diseases death types off for those who doesn't like the idea of it and NOT at all are into way TOO realistic gameplay in general (just like they did with strong emotions moodlet types) It doesn't always have to be realistic, i think with this pack idea i have in mind is to also have some kind of problems that is unrealistic, like occult cures or treatments but also like molds, zombies and other unrealistic diseases problems your sim don't have control over it (meaning: some kind of other cross-packs ideas) I can't think of any unrealistic gameplay diseases but it doesn't have to be too realistic Aspirations: -Help people in need (which have diseases) -To live a long and healthy life Personality traits: -Worrisome -Helpfull -Protective As for the gameplay in general we should definitely add something it influence your sims health or like have a new lot trait or lot challenge with my ideas i'm about to mention here: Your sim is at home, it have a energetic or happy moodlet if your sim do active stuff and lose weight (especially when spending your time outdoors) But if your sim is doing nothing (like sitting on a couch or lying/sitting on a bed) the whole day, it has a uncomfortable or embarassed moodlet and you'll gain weight and you won't feel too well because you're doing nothing (or atleast nothing active) the whole day spending your day indoors or atleast at home It also needs a new type to bring your ghost sim back to life with the hospital venue type since we have so little options to bring your sim back to life Before anyone ask me: "but we already have hospitals with the *get to work* pack" That's true but you can only visit there if you work there or if your sim is in labor, we need more gameplay even for hospitals so we can also visit there at any time (similair with the vet venue type that comes with "cats and dogs" pack) With all of our ideas combined it ask for "Get To Work" refresh with cross-pack ideas (atleast 10 or 15 more lot types both big and small) but knowing EA it's less likely to happen sadly but i can dream right? Update: someone in the comment about an another realistic gameplay in which i'm totally cool with it This part of the gameplay is to visit a hospital for a medicine to cure your sim, go for a check-up then get checked out and go home to take some rest, not being allowed to leave the house (not even by going to school or work and if you own a business your sim should stop running businesses) untill your sim is all better, your sim should visit the hospital for a check-up to see if the medicine or treatment have helped your sim from some sort of illness or diseases You'll get a uncomfortable moodlet if your sim overwork themselves (similair to elder sims) while being ill, the energie need decrease faster than normally if you don't take care of yourself for that reason It also even mentioned having pregnancy check-ups if your pregnant sim visit the hospital, i'm definitely in for a pregnancy check-ups and even announce if it has only 1 baby, twins or even triplets, same with having boy(s) and girl(s) and maybe even takes advices by a doctor Just thought i added what someone have mentioned in the comments (and honestly it match perfectly with this pack idea)Solvedsailorleontine8 days agoSeasoned Ace205Views5likes8Comments80/90's pack survey idea
last year there's a survey with 9 Expansion Pack ideas and it's in this link Themes of Possible Sims 4 Expansion Packs (2024 Survey) and i love the idea of having packs based about the past we have past based clothes kit called "Throwback Fit kit" we have "Castle Estate kit" (speaking of a castle kit, i made a pack version of this and i think you should take a look at it in this link: Can we have a castle fantasy Game Pack? | EA Forums - 12113570 the Expansion Pack idea gave me inspiration but more as a non monarchy pack idea so i made my own version and more as a Game Pack in my opinion) we have some historical packs in The Sims 4 like: Get Together, Vampires, Get Famous, and Life & Death, almost each of them are Expansion Packs packs and kits from a century ago: Vintage Glamour stuff, Paranormal stuff and Grunge Revival kit (you can look it up on The Sims wiki fandom) i think the team is thinking about creating the 80/90's Expansion Pack in the near future which got me thinking besides the things they have mentioned...can't we have the lot trait or lot challenge you can't do digital stuff? (similair to off-the-grid except it's only mostly electronics that doesn't work so plumbing objets doesn't count on this one) just a thought to add something new again i love to have more things based about the past and this pack idea that's on the survey is all about based on classic stuff and even having a landphone (or as we Dutch people calls them "housephone/telephone") i was about to say daycare but i made a seperate post about this which is in this link: can we have a toddler based pack? | EA Forums - 12111749 and i was thinking about having some kind of events, maybe some classic game competition and maybe even having an arcade as a competition...if the team can add a new skill like maybe the name "classic gaming" or something? quite the opposite of "video gaming" and once it get more skills it can have new options (similair to some skills like the winter sports skills: we can get the "easy", "middle" and "difficult" levels) 80/90's clothes in CAS, new aspirations and personality traits personality traits: -Nostalgic meaning you either get a happy or sad moodlet when thinking about the past (available for adults and latter stages) -Old Fashioned meaning you like to do things the simple ways, you get a tense moodlet when using computers for examble but if you don't spend on digital/electric things you get a happy moodlet (available for teens and latter stages) -High-Spirited meaning it gets a happy, playfull or energetic moodlet for doing exciting and enjoyable things they love but they get a uncomfortable or tense moodlet if they haven't done exciting and endjoyable things for awhile and similair to cheerfull they often have a happy moodlet than other traits atleast 2 64x64 lots or bigger i bet some of my ideas based on children can be added in this pack aswell can we have a school pack based on children? | EA Forums - 11172051 world: Japan? (based on what i found on Google, ramen shop comes from Japan since this pack idea mentioned ramen shop so i guess we'll get an another Japan based world?) since landphones are mentioned in this pack idea, maybe we can prank other sims not knowing who they are talking to? (especially usefull for "mean", "evil", "grouch", "goofball" and maybe even "childish" personality traits...i bet they either get a happy moodlet or tense/angry moodlet depending on a situation if it turned out the way they hoped for or not but it shouldn't be available for traits that's the opposite of what i've mentioned though) we can have more after-school activities for both kids and teenagers based on how the lifestyle was in the 80/90's years i added a couple of things the teams should add in my opinion as a feedback from meSolved231Views5likes5CommentsCan we have a clothing shop and a new lot challenge?
My ideas are based on how The Sims 2 used to be (or rather still IS) You choose things like clothes for examble but once you're done and move your sim in you can't change the clothes with a certain outfit category (like for examble you need to stick with the everyday outfit, formal outfit etc) unless you visit a clothing shop to buy them, very similair to The Sims 2 and of course it costs money, the more you pay for the clothes, the more you have to pay for it (i want the same for piercings, tattoo's, earings and other things like jewellery that's normally always in CAS but the most important one are the clothes one...maybe it can be in basegame aswell but more like as an option to toggle it on/off) The closest world which has a small clothing shop it's in Tartosa but it's wedding outfits only, we have Nifty Knitting to create their own clothes that's locked in CAS, you can do outfit for your taste with High School Years installed and i believe you can model/create clothes with Get To Work installed so you can sell them but i want a more realistic stuff you feel forced to buy them just like The Sims 2 and in real life of course The lot challenge is a solution to make it optional, i don't know the name for this but when entering the mirror or wardrobe you can't change outfits (you can still switch from everyday outfit to like a formal outfit just like The Sims 2 did, you just can't switch outfit from a certain category you're in) And to make this happen we need a clothing shop, you may need a option so you can check some outfits incase you don't like it or if it doesn't match with your body type and if it match with what you're looking for and you like this outfit you can buy them I rather have them in basegame just like the supermarket i mentioned not that long ago (i made a seperate post about it) When i was new to The Sims 4 it made me upset we can't do clothes shopping and we can change outfits whenever we feel like to, the earlier games wasn't like that, so that's the reason why i want to change itSolved154Views3likes2CommentsCan we have a pack based on multi-community venue type?
Sure we have "Businesses & Hobbies" to make things possible, such as after-school activities and add some hobbies and even before this i've always wanted a multi-community venue type It's "For Rent" pack that gave me an idea because we have residental rental meaning we can have like up to 6 residental houses into 1 lot so now i want a multi-community version of "For Rent" In The Sims 2 we can create all kind of stuff but in The Sims 4 we can't, i want to change this and add a multi-community venue in 1 lot Maybe we can have a option to add the already existing venue types for examble for a room we can like add a pet vet, the other room a library, the other a café, the other a bar to name a few, quite similair to "For Rent" and "Businesses & Hobbies" combined where we can add things as a option I'm thinking about adding this pack as a game pack (i don't know if adding this as Expansion Pack is such a good idea though) It's kind of like a cross-pack so we can add venues with an already existing packs It spares us the option to only have 1 venue type in some worlds which have only like 5 lots and it's usefull for a 64x64 lot type to build multi-community venue into one lot What do you think?Solved127Views3likes1CommentCan we have a sport pack?
Like maybe football, handball, hockey, mini golf, badminton, frisbee (to name a few) and make it an competition? i can't think of any for the world but other than basketball there isn't anything else that's in The Sims 4 but maybe Brazil? or a mix with a few latin America? Likes/Dislikes: Sport category Aspirations: Football Champion, Handball Champion, Hockey Champion, best at Mini Golf, best at Badminton, Frisbee Champion (sport categories) New Venue type: Sports Center Personality Trait: in the game, impulsive, Logical and Pompous Lot Trait: good sportsmanship Clothes category: more Sport outfits Skills: Fitness (Basegame skill) Existing Venue: Swimmingpool lot type and a Park lot typeSolved347Views9likes14CommentsCan we have a pack based on The Netherlands?
as a Dutchy myself coming from The Netherlands, i want these in The Sims 4 and the first non-tropical world with a beach, i can't think of in other stuff i'm also thinking about dykes and polders, the closest world we can get is Windenburg but that world is based on Germany, i want to have The Netherlands country in The Sims 4 based on things other country don't have including some Dutch games and food also a special event like Henford-On-Bagley, San Myshuno, Mt.Komorebi and Copperdale but in a unique way, we have our own thing like traditional Dutch games (especially good for little kids since we need more options on kids) and Carnival that's in like each ages and the Dutch climate wise: in Summer it's not too hot and in winter it's not too cold (i think it's simulair with Windenburg except it's not that very hot in Summer, 15 up to 20 degrees) maybe with flowers we can have a category for each flowers with the likes and dislikes possibly a personality trait like direct and honest (we have a "act normal" attitude and can be in the complain category) i can't think up other ideas based on The Netherlands but i hope EA sees this (If you have ideas based on The Netherlands, feel free to do so😉😉👍)Solved696Views7likes16Comments
Why does the game still create a burglar NPC even not to Allow Burglar Visits?
Then I went to check the info and found from the hidden trait that he/she is the burglar. I'm sure that I have already opted out of the burglar feature. And the burglar won't come into my house. But why does the game still create a sim for this NPC role? I don't just avoid burglars to my house, I DON'T WANT BURGLARS TO EXIST IN MY GAME! I hope that someday there are modders who make mods to stop generating new burglars, but until then, I want to complain about this. I want the opt-out that completely disables the burglar thing.Solvedcoloncocon18 days agoSeasoned Ace99Views0likes11Comments
Love struck
can we get a lovestruck refresh? even if you do the aspiration that’s supposed to make satisfaction go down more slower it doesn’t help. It makes it hard for casual dating. my sims who live together even have issues if they go to work all day and don’t have a chance to kiss. it’s a little draining and frustrating. overall a good pack i adore the hair the styles the career. it’s just relationships are no longer fun.Solved182Views3likes18Comments
Sim cancel computer interactions/ Only use while already sitting
So I have this bug, I do not know if it's just a bug only I have. But most of the times when I ask my sims to do any kind of interaction with a computer, by just clicking on the computer like I have been doing for literal years. They refuse to even move an inch, the action just immediately leaves the queue. But the moment I click on the chair for them to sit, and then when they've sat themselves down and I click on an interaction on the computer, they do it. I have no idea why, I have had this bug since High School Years came out. And I feel quite confident when I say that they mostly affect high school years Desks/Chairs. It's so annoying because I still forget that I have this bug quite often and then they just end up doing something entirely different than what I queued up. I really hope they fix this!

[BH] No family recipes for gourmet cooking and baking
Unsure if this is a "bug" or something purposely or unintentionally omitted from Businesses & Hobbies, but any recipe from the gourmet cooking or the baking categories are unable to be made into a family recipe. They're just simply not in the list to choose from for some reason, when it really seems like they should be. It would be great if the recipes from those categories were options as well.

No action taken message for gallery report of injured, bleeding dog
I reported an upload on the Gallery earlier today for something titled "Homeless Dog" which depicted an injured and bleeding dog. I would like to know how that is okay with EA. I was not the only one disturbed by this, as can be seen in the comments. This has been on the gallery since 2018, how is that okay? There is no option to appeal. This is the message I received: --------------------------- Hello, Thank you for reporting your concern and helping make our The Sims 4 community a positive place to play.

[V] Infant vampires can be seen in mirrors
As you can probably see in the attached screenshot above, but my sim's daughter (who's 100% a vampire (both parents are vampires)) can be seen in the mirror. But her mother (who's stood directly in front of the mirror) can't be seen in the mirror. Honestly, I don't know if this is intentional, a bug or what. Yes, this is the best angle I could get, I'm afraid. One other thing: Yes, I did disable my mods, rebooted my game with my mods still disabled, and this "bug" (honestly not sure if this is one or what) still occurs.

Missing Content from Expansion Pack
I tried opening a case about this and the chat agent was unable to help and advised I post here, so I'm really hoping to find answers. I purchased the Businesses & Hobbies Expansion Pack on April 18th, which was advertised to come with the extra Set Up Shop Digital Content (3 items) if purchased by April 18th. When I opened the game after downloading I could not find any of those extra items in the build menu, only the regular pack items are there. I have tried on multiple occasions, even after the most recent game update, still no items. It's like I was given the version of the pack that is now available and not the pre-order version that I paid for. If this needs to be posted elsewhere or I need to contact EA in a different way, please advise how as it is incredibly difficult to get a hold of someone to get this sorted.Solvedcursedcassandra2 months agoSeasoned Newcomer107Views1like5Comments
