Music Den Kit Keyboard should be called a Digital Piano
The keyboard in the Music Den Kit looks and sounds like a digital piano rather than a keyboard, especially since it has pedals and the options are the same as the acoustic pianos. The keyboard from City Living has a different sound and gameplay options. Naming the Music Den Kit Keyboard a Digital Piano will better reflect what the object actually is and avoid confusion. I think it's an interesting design choice to have a digital piano in this kit since it's about music and there's not a digital piano in game already.
We need a Blank State option when starting a new save.
Hello TheSimsDirect & Maxis 😊 I'm not sure how difficult this would be for you to impliment into The Sims 4 but I think it would be a really great options if you could allow us Simmers to start a "blank state" save. What I mean by this is that all of the worlds have all lots completely empty and all of the appropriate Sims are absent. I would assume that the saves would still need to keep the NPC Sims such as Father Winter, Creature Keeper ect, but for non important Sims it would be great for them to be absent. I feel like this would be a much welcome quality of life addition to the game for Simmers who like to rebuild worlds from the ground up and do not wish to go through each world manually.
Sims4 Eras
We need different eras to play in. Like each decade from the 1900s, medieval, Industrial era. And more. I would love to be able to do a generations save thats actually in different eras. Rather than have people dressed for the 40s on a mobile phone. I think it should come up the way the seasons thing comes up. You choose an era then a season and play. And you should also be able to move to the next era mid game so that you dont literally have to wait 100 years to get to when you’d wanna be. Please it would be so great.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Bike riding update
I think that we had bicycles for a long time but we don't have specific cycling cothes to wear and play with so now tha bicycles are a base game thing i think we should have cycling appropriate clothes for the base game too. And if they were designed well we could even use some of the pieces outside of a athletic look, giving us more freedom and customization to stylize sims. aseball style of the first clothes and think it should be a base for masculine and feminine top swatches. Alsk the yellow cap is awrsome and coukd also be used to swimming, and the down-left top is pretty versatile so we could use it with any clothes too. Also i think that, if we have bicycles on our game, we should see townies or auto generates townies using them around our neighborhoods. This eould add much dynamism and depth to the daily life of the sims and neighborhoods. And finally as we already got a Bike with the Reaper Rewards event i think we should already have a base game universal bike for adults and kids because nit everyons was able to get this one throught the evenr. It could be the Grim one but without the decorations. This update could even be a way to try to put the bikes on the roads and maybe refine its animation flow too.Modifications to the Romance Socials?
I really don't like how some of the socials under the romance category aren't compatible with furniture. For example, if your Sim uses the "hold hands" social, they will cancel any current sitting action instead of just multitasking like they would with a TV. Also, maybe things like your Sim's first kiss? Your Sim will automatically go back to having general conversation with their love interest like they're acquaintances which is kind of weird to watch but you do you, I guess.Let us delete part of a modular item
This is a basic requirement and still none of the modular items allow it. I'm sick of building a shelf or a playground and wanting to remove a single piece, yet all of them or at least a few select at the same time and I can't select them individually. Especially when the modular system is so dodgy that things won't always snap together in the first place. A simple shift click should be easy enough to implement, just like the wall trims.Make earthquake enable by default, just like rain/snow option in Settings
Neighborhood X: Household A: "Wow! An earthquake was happened!" (because I enabled it in lot challenge) Household B: "...What are you talking about???" ---- The current implementation is really doesn't make sense; when the earthquake happens, it should apply to all neighborhood or nearby town, depend on its severeness. Add the option to "Enable Earthquake", not as a per-lot option. This improves immersion and challenge.Island Living Swatches are so bad, why?
Why are the swatches in Island Living so bad in terms of lack of variety? It really feels like the objects from Island Living's Build & Buy are disconnected from anything else in the Build/Buy menu. I wonder if anyone else shares the same feeling. There's a lack of variety in the swatches as well, so much so that it's almost impossible to match alongside other objects from the base game and other packs. I think the objects from Island Living are really nice in terms of quality, but I'm just dissapointed with the swatches really.Suggestion: Icons update
Can we pleaseget a collection of table top statues (just like the La Catrina one), paintings and wall decor base on mystical, supernatural and religious characters from the sims game? Also based on ideas about different faiths i think the team should add simple new interactions to base game (but don't make them automatic for sims to do), maybe only to this type of deity icons or general art pieces: - Pay respect/Bow to piece - Search/Plead for inspiration/confidence (Give inspired/confident moodlet) These interactions would allow us to use the art pieces on different ways and make our sims have a deeper connection to them. And the Bowing/paying respect and emotional aura would allow us to create different kinds of faiths inside the game without necessarily bringing something from real life/out of the game.
Advanced Simulation & Population Options
The Sims 4 has come a long way in giving players more control over their gameplay. Features like Neighborhood Stories, Wants & Fears, Dust, Acne, Body Hair, Aging, and Pack-specific gameplay options have been fantastic additions. I'd love to see EA continue that trend by adding an Advanced Simulation section in the Gameplay Options. This wouldn't change the default experience for existing players. Instead, it would simply give players the ability to customize how populated and dynamic they want their worlds to be. Suggested Options Household Size Adjustable maximum household size. Default remains 8 Sims. Optional higher limits (10, 12, 16, etc.) with a performance warning. Roommate Limit (Discover University) Adjustable roommate limit. Allow players to create larger dorms, apartments, communes, retirement homes, or boarding houses without requiring mods. Stay Over Guest Limit (Growing Together) Adjustable maximum number of Stay Over guests. This would allow larger family reunions and sleepovers while still keeping the default limit for players who prefer it. Maximum Lot Population Low Medium High Custom Players with more powerful hardware could increase the number of Sims allowed on residential lots while players on older hardware could keep the defaults. Townie Generation Options Instead of forcing random townie generation, allow players to choose: Normal (Current Behavior) Prefer Existing Sims Only Generate New Sims When Required Disable Random Townie Generation Many players spend hundreds of hours creating or downloading Sims they actually want to appear in their worlds. Giving us more control over townie generation would make saves feel much more personal. Roommate Controls (Discover University) Please add roommate-specific gameplay options such as: Prevent roommates from inviting guests. Prevent roommates from inviting romantic partners. Prevent roommates from inviting friends. Lot Trait or Gameplay Option to disable roommate visitors entirely. This would be especially useful for dorms, communes, shared apartments, and players who simply want a quieter household. Why This Would Be Beneficial These settings would not replace the existing game. The defaults would remain exactly as they are today. Instead, players who enjoy larger households, populated communities, or carefully curated saves would finally have official tools to customize their experience without affecting everyone else. Console players would especially benefit because they do not have access to script mods. Mods Already Do Some of This Yes, PC players already have excellent mods such as MCCC and other population or roommate mods that provide many of these features. However, console players cannot use script mods, and many PC players also prefer playing a vanilla game. Having official gameplay options would: Make these features available to everyone. Reduce dependence on mods after game updates. Allow players to customize their saves using supported in-game settings. Continue EA's recent trend of giving players more control over how they experience The Sims 4. The Sims has always been about letting players tell their own stories. Giving us more control over population, households, roommates, visitors, and townie generation would let every player tailor the simulation to fit their preferred playstyle while leaving the default experience completely unchanged for everyone else.More Left Wrist Watches Please
This has been an issue since forever, and is a major pet peeve of mine, and i just went to make some new outfits with the new accessories that were added, and once again... the watch is on the right wrist. With a few exceptions, such as the watch added with Businesses and Hobbies, this has consistently been the case, despite the fact the VAST MAJORITY of people who are right handed wear their watch on the LEFT wrist. Even many left handed people wear it on their left wrist because of how watches are designed. I think there should be some watches for the right-side wrist, because it is not a universal rule, but it seems balanced in the wrong direction right now. Ideally, I would like to see watches available for both wrists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc3KfBt77gw Most common in real life, with the ONLY watch for men in the game on the correct side: Least Common in real life (by far): and yet (note i do not have all the packs so i may be missing some) counting the available wristwatch options, for men, there is one writswatch for the left wrist , in the Businesses and Hobbies pack, and five for the right wrist. Women have one left side watch in Vintage Glamour, and five for the right side. and Children have a single watch available, and it is on the right-side (wrong) wrist. This distribution is backwards.Family Tree
So I’ve recently come across an issue that my sims that are cousins suddenly had their relationship erased as if they’re no longer family. I just think it would be beneficial to have an easier way of making family sims without adding extra sims to make the connection. For example if I needed to make cousins, I’d have to create the parents and make those parents related for there to be a relation. I’m suggesting that they create more options in CAS like Aunt/Uncle or Cousin or extended family titles like such.Create-a-World Feature
Hello! I have a suggestion for The Sims 4. I would love to see a Create-a-World feature added to the game. Instead of only playing in the worlds that come with expansion packs, players could create their own worlds from scratch. We could choose the landscape, place rivers, lakes, mountains, forests, roads, and decide where lots are located. I think this would give players much more creativity and make every world feel unique. It would be amazing to build our own towns and neighborhoods exactly the way we imagine them. Thank you for considering this idea and for continuing to support The Sims 4Game is Broken
Was in the middle of playing when I suddenly noticed everything I have ever built is gone. I have made several reports on this issue, and have seen many other players making the same complaints. EA has done nothing to address this. I have had one person reply to me who basically just said everything that was lost is gone forever. So years of time and money, just ripped away, as there is apparently no way to get any of these builds back. At this point the game is actually unplayable, as soon as I leave the lot the build disappears, so what's the point??? I cannot even begin to fully express my frustration and disappointment with EA. The fact that this could even happen is a massive failure on their part. This is happening to more and more players every day and the lack of response is maddening. I've been playing the Sims for over 25 years, and Sims 4 almost daily since it came out in 2014, and I am a MASSIVE builder. Can't even play now.UI overhaul for Vanity Tables please. (Suggestion)
Hello TheSimsDirect Maxis I would love to see the addition of a UI for when our Sims use the Vanity Tables in The Sims 4. I really like how you did the UI for the Manicure & Pedicure feature in Spa Day, it made it really helpful to see what we would be applying to our Sims or their customers. I really think this would be a welcome addition with the Vanity Tables as well. Thank you 😊
