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.
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...
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!
Ive been thinking this for a while! This would make the game so much better
I have ALOAD of ideas.. Dear sims gods can we Ppppplease have…. Chance cards- to leave out what will happen. This could maybe be an option to tick on and off for players.. expert level. This way everyone can play how they like. I like to just choose without knowing the consequences as that’s more like real life. Prom- send alone option pppplease!!. I play mainly family gameplay with big families, i would love a rabbit hole to send my teens alone to prom if i cant play with them at that time! Dates, hangouts, club gatherings- send alone options. Similar to above just having that rabbit hole option with mood buffs would be a fun spin on it. If asked to go to gathering or on a date to have an option to ‘call me back again later’ or call me back at ……. Bla bla time. As sometimes it would be good to go to the event but at that exact moment you cannot if you’re doing something else. Better gift options. Presents and birthdays to be updated and should have better options for gifts, especially more personalised to likes and traits. The presents in the mail are so generic, no pack updates. Or even give big items as gift such as tv, game console, computers or pets. This could be done by clicking on a big item and select present as gift or clicking on the sim and ‘select big gift’ option. Joint community lots- can we not have a cafe as-well as a pool please? That way we get vendors without having to pay. Also….can we not just have vendors attend all stands for free? Better lot traits. Could add things like- Pregnant sims hangout, Mums or dads, Singles, Mourners, Elders, kids, toddlers or Geeks hangout. Without it being behind a paywall. Whims to be updated, please. These….. Suck….. Sorry. …. but they do. The sims 2 was on POINT for wants, it gives such realistic gameplay. Brings the game alive! Bypass friendly greeting for family members. There should be a family greeting and be instantly higher levels, i think this is more realistic. If you don't want that as a player then click friendly greeting and have the relationship bar start from scratch as per usual. Gallery to be updated with- Share clothes options or makeup CAS - to have Share clothes ideas so you can Save an outfit and use on other sims! And makeup too. We kind of have preset outfits in the game…. which i love to use but it would be great to make our own too. Sims home inventory should have the option to split if a sims moving out. This would be good for breakups etc Jobs - rabbit holes. I have an option to buy a veterinary but theres not a job role on the phone for that. I think that would be a good job to have as a rabbit hole. And i also have high-school years- why cant i be a teacher? again just a rabbit hole would be fine. Cottage living- farmer rabbit hole? I have paid for these packs. it would be good to have the jobs too. I play large families and cant be attending all jobs all the time but i would love some more variety on jobs please. 14. Finally. With science baby can we have an option to be pregnant or atleast come back 3days later to collect baby as this is more realistic. As someone myself who has needed IVF multiple times this would be an option i feel is more realistic. I know some of this stuff you can get through mods.. but can’t we just have it in game instead? Alot of the code is already there??. Anyways its just my opinion… thank you, please AmenToo much tenants events
I want to report that I have only one house for a rent and this events are too frequent. It happens day by day, and it causes low rating and bad moodlets for all sims living with house for a rent owner. It would be good to reduce it to 1 event/ month. Also it's happens with a bug when we are disabling events from settings it's still shows events. So we can't reduce it, we can't disable it, one way to resolve annoying pop-ups events and moodlets is to kick out sims from the rented house. Probably there is another bug related to this, if I will kick out renters they will be automatically assigned to my house without my action. It's annoying when I want to change something in the house like furniture etc.Just some Ideas
I got two things I'd like to have in the game. I'm a huge nerd so one is about being nerdy while the other is actually because yes I'm a nerd and because I know theres people out there who exist with disabilities who play sims. My first idea for those disabled to have wheelchair for disabled sims. I came up with this idea because I'm creating the X-Men in my sims world and Charles needs a wheelchair not standing and walking. But also I thought about a friend of mine who uses a wheel chair who plays sims and I know she'd love to be able to create herself. Also possibly the wheelchairs being both manual push or move the wheels yourself and the motor wheelchairs that you can control with a joy stick? My second idea is possibly have a marvel universe pack because I'm a huge nerd and I love marvel and I think it would be fun to be able to have powers or mutations and possibly decorative tesseract or even a job that would fit in those lines and a little journey world like how starwars has one. Now obviously I can see the marvel one not happening but if it did that would be awesome. I understand not all sim players are into marvel. And I know that there are that are into marvel. But with the wheelchair one I think would be a great asset to the game and I would definitely like to see that one in the game You get hearing aids and the diabetes device thing that I can't think of the name of maybe we should have wheelchair sims or even blind Sims now that I think about it. With a blind Sims having a option to have a stick and possibly have the option to have a guide dog if you own the cats and dog pack even I think that would be really coolTabletop Mini Cowplant, and Other Plant Ideas
Let me start off saying I love the fantasy, occult and sci-fi based plants in this game. I enjoy making fantasy gardens over regular gardens, they just look so cool and unique! The Cowplant itself can be an overtaking object for the household—all Sims obsessively play with it. I love the Amuse-Bouche Cowplant Terrarium from Paranormal, but I think it be great if we had an actual Mini Cowplant that can fit in the tabletop plant pot. Forgive my moveobjects merged item example: It be great if a Cowberry is planted in small or tabletop plant pots they produce Mini Cowplants, and instead of producing Essences, they just produce more Cowberries (helpful for self sustaining Cowberries for EbN (instead of buying)). I find it a bit annoying that the Apothecary Table just has buy ingredients as it's version of "sustainable", I rather harvestables. It also be cool if the Sixam Mosquito Trap could fit in the tabletop plant too. Lastly, another small alien plant, at this time we have 2 large/trees but only 3 small, I feel the 4 spot planter would be great if without duplicates, could have 4 different alien plants. Maybe an alien mushroom?lot items graphic labels
Lot labels - if the lot has a restaurant that has pizza, I want to be able to search for pizza and find it in my game. If it has bowling I want to know. It would be great to have a graphic selector when building the lot that detects that lot items and you can click on the top 3 that would show as the primary reason for the venue so when you are in the neighborhood you can see what it has for items. Thrift stores - make only unique clothes available for these stores. This would be a great way to add more content is via the quests and updates for free or in packs that have unique only obtainable at thrift stores.How much money do you expect to make the Sims 4 open world ?
I paid you almost $3,000 in advance, yet you did not make the game open world that includes all worlds and only 20 sims in the gameplay. We will enter 2026 and you do not implement the players’ requests. Where is the brialdo? Where is the ballet dancing? Where are the dances of couples from different cultures? Where is the tennis? Where are the water parties? Since 2014 you have not fixed the game. What have you been doing all these years?School performance increases too easily without homework or exam prep
I am not sure if it’s a bug, but it seems it shouldn’t work this way. If kids go to school, their grades go up way too easily — even if they never do their homework. This happens with both kids and teens. Just showing up to school makes their performance rise on its own. Because of that, doing homework feels kind of pointless. And for teens, there’s really no reason to prepare for exams — if they just keep going to school, they’ll pass easily, often with top grades. I feel like skipping homework should at least make their progress stop or even drop a bit. And if they don’t prepare for exams, there should be a real chance of failing them.
[AA] New Peculiar Plumbird every time they show up
Before I go ahead and explain, I have all DLC installed, no mods and I play on PC on the latest game version. As per usual, I love designing my own NPCs and most of the time I changed completely the look, but also anything else, from gender to sexual orientation etc... I like to create sims and unfortunately the way to change locked NPCs in this game is atrocious. I wish there was an easier way, for instance a UI fot NPC roles PLEASE EA! We have been asking for this for ages... and it still not possible and very frustrating, considering we have to use cheats and hopefully the game decide not to generate new npc for the one you designed. I don't give a dawm about lore either, so thats sad that nowaday NPCs are linked to the lore with their first name directly in game, but I am able to disregard that. So I tried to change Pruella into Pruello! Changed a few things and detailed the appearances. Normaly, this works, by meeting the NPC, and then using the cheat code ''testingcheats on'' followed by ''cas.fulleditmode''. You got to great the NPC first, and then find a way to invite them to your home and then right click them to modify in CAS, this way, it does not include them in the Active Households and they dont lose their NPC roles! It worked so far pretty well. The first issue you encounter with Pruella is that she can't be invited afterward, so in order to get around this, you can ask her on a date! She came home and thats where I changed the sim for whatever I feel like the Peculiar Plumbird should be in my game. It seems like it was working fine, since after the edits, the new Pruello did not lose the costume and on top of that, he had still the specific interactions available for the Peculiar Plumbird. I though it was all good, but then I visited Gibbi gibbi world and found out that the Peculiar Plumbird was now another sim completely. I must precise, in between the moment where I saved the edits and the time I realized the Peculiar Plumbird had changed again, I repared my game on the EA app because I though to try and fix another bug... I am not sure if reparing my game caused that, but no matter, this should not happen. I want not only a fix and more stability for this problem, but also a permanent solution, such as NPC roles UI update in the very near futur to allow us the player to use imagination and create from scratches the NPC we want, and that for ALL NPC roles, the Grim reaper, mother nature, the sages, firefigthers etc... Thank you. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted pack tag to fit conventions of the forum.
