Occult and Non-Occult Attraction
It would be good if there's an option under your sim's turn ons and turn offs related to occult sims. If this option is added, you can make a sim be turned off by occult sims and only like non-occults, you can make a sim attracted to spellcasters and turned off by werewolves. You can make a sim be turned off by non-occult sims.World and Neighbourhood Settings
I think it would be good to be able to right click on a world to open settings for the world and the neighbourhoods in it individually. For example, - Seasons You could set the season to Summer all year round for Oasis Springs while making it Spring all year round in Everdew, Innisgreen. -N.A.P (Neighbourhood Action Plan) You can turn the N.A.P off and on and possibly event choose and change the action plans you want without a cheat. -Occult sims You can control what type of sims are to show up in the world or neighbourhood.
I love the Butterfly/Moth Habitat so much—I want a version for Frogs/Insects!
I love the butterfly/moth habitat—it looks so good with the butterflies/moths displayed! But now all I can think of is having something like this for frogs, and insects. The normal containers are not the most attractive (besides Death Frog) for all of these—Sims 3 did it better. But if collection habitats/displays were available for these it would be amazing :) It would also be nice if we could place overflow (aka duplicates) of butterflies/moths in there too, so they all can be stored there.
Gallery profanity filter should allow NZ word "nīkau/nikau" [AA palms]
As a kiwi, I was so excited to see Adventure Awaits' New Zealand-inspired trees in Gibbi Point. But when I tried to share the debug palm trees on the gallery with a little local knowledge, I was disheartened to find the tree's name (nīkau palm) was a disallowed word. The nīkau palm (pronounced "nee-ko" / "nee-kow") is a native tree of Aotearoa New Zealand, and it’s the name that all New Zealanders use, not just Māori. But the Gallery treats “nīkau” as if it were an offensive term. That’s upsetting, because it means the game can take icons from my country, like our nīkau palm, but I can’t even type its name. There's also the element where, for Māori, our language was suppressed for generations. It’s part of why many of us grew up disconnected from our heritage. Seeing the system flag an innocuous Māori word as profanity is jarring and echoes that silencing in a space that's otherwise inclusive in so many ways. I know this isn’t intentional, and the profanity filter wasn't built with indigenous or New Zealand context in mind. But I’d really appreciate it if EA could review this and allow culturally significant, completely appropriate words like nīkau / nikau that relate directly to content in the latest EP. The profanity filter feedback survey has a broken link, I hope this is the right place to post EA_Cade EA_Solaire[CCSP] Career Outfits Won't Keep Jewelry On
PC, mods disabled/removed "Wear with All Outfits" does not include Career (unless wearing Career Outfit), and when wearing a Career Outfit and selecting "Wear with All Outfits" it only lasts till next time they change back into Career again (from another outfit). So constantly having to reapply or change into another outfit to get the moodlets back, but as this Sims is mostly in Career or Sleep the moodlets just are always dropping/removed. Edit By Crinrict: adjusted pack tag to fit conventions of the forum.
Swimming speed needs tuning...
I think after Adventure Awaits EP skilled sims do speed up quite a bit in the pool. That is fine for top skilled sims, but right now an elderly female with fitness skills of 6 is swimming sooooo fast that it just looks a bit silly. She reminds me of an insect trying desperately to find a way out, constantly hitting the edges. She is too old to swim this speedy, besides she is "only" skilled 6 - what will her speed be when she is at 9...? I think it should require a higher skill level to swim this speedy. I'm not sure how many speed levels there are, maybe they all should just be moved a couple lvls up? About elders, I think they should drop a couple speed levels due to age alone, regardless of skill. My elderly female looks more speedy than a natural trained teenager would be... Not saying that a top fitness skilled elder can't be speedy, but slowing down a bit would still be speedy. It should require top skills, or maybe even skilled elders should slow down a bit in general. When in the pool, after AA EP I notice that many more sims are entering the pool when I arrive a lot. They often are in the exact same posoition, about to enter the pool, doing exact same animations. I takes a while before I can see how many they are. I wish the pool was slightly less attractive. It feels weird that 5 sims are entering from the same spot when there are plenty of other things to do on a huge lot. I suspect it was programmed in because of the new diving boards and pool upgrade in general, I hope it won't last. At least it's better than sims always grilling food when entering a lot...

Outfits
Can we maybe add the ability to customize the colors and patterns on the clothes for if the color scheme we want for our sims isn't in the choices? I loved that about sims 3 and while I love the clothing choices a little better on 4, and the color schemes on the clothes are usually great, I miss the ability to make customized colors and patterns. I miss this for the makeup, hair and eyes too.
Game Pack Idea!
I would LOVE to see an integration of collectible plushies in the Sims4. Collectibles are often times repetitive and to some, an eye sore. I have scoured the interwebs for cute plushies CC but its lacking greatly. It'd be so fun to work toward some cute plushies of different themes (i.e., soft, pastel, holiday themes, dark themes, cottage, etc.) that we can add to personalize our Sims bedroom or house!
Curtains snapping to windows need to be optional
We need to talk about curtain snapping, placement and why it exists. In all of the years I've been playing The Sims 4 I don't think I've ever heard anyone who likes curtains snapping automatically to windows, but I can see why it exists in the first place. I assume when the game first launched, due its much more robust B&B system compared to previous games, curtains snapping automatically to windows was probably done in order to help builders find a good position for the curtains faster. I can see that happening. However it's clear to anyone who builds that curtains snapping don't always find good placements. This is actually true for a lot of the automatic features of B&B (like automatic window placement for example). It may be helpful for beginners, but it's not a feature that's widely enjoyed by many of the players. The biggest issue with the snapping is that it often defaults snap placement incorrectly, or undesirably to say the least. As shown above there's no reason for that curtain to sit that high above the window that I placed. The window was placed without move.objects on or alt-placement, to make it clear. But moving it slightly under moves the curtain straight on the window instead of slightly above it. I don't want the curtain rod to be fixed to the window glass, rather it should be slightly above it. This is not to mention other issues like having two windows close together for example. If there's one thing I often see being brought up in TS4 build communities is asking how to stop this. For example, this post with several comments/replies giving examples of how to avoid snapping. Whenever I see posts where people talk about or ask others what their favorite mods is, Ravasheen's No Curtain Snapping is often brought up. Which is great for those who use mods, and I shouldn't have to. I know devs don't like to remove features from the game, that's fair. But there should be at least an option in the settings for those of us who are tired of curtains snapping. It really makes building a lot more annoying for no reason. There's absolutely no reason as to why curtain snapping should still be mandatory in 2025, it should be an option instead.
