Connect lots to Sim households in gallery and move them both into world
Would this be too much? I was thinking If it would be possible to somehow make an official way connect lots to created sims in the gallery. Since they replace the original sims when they die off or move out of world( at least that is what I'm assuming). Obviously it can be optional for people who wouldn't want that, but i think it would be a cool addition to sims 4, to actually have new sims be put in your world with the house/lot that was made for them and their family. Sometimes it confuses me how a 5 person family moves into a 2 bedroom house with no bunk beds or anything, and have a horse roaming the streets. Maybe that is just a part of the Sims 4 charm. Obviously sims who dont have a lot ,would be added to a random lot like normal. I think it would be a cool addition, and I wouldn't mind seeing people's builds, it would add something new to my Sims world that i didn't create. By the way, it's is why i love the cupids corner feature.
Please update the doctor career
In the doctor career, the NPC's do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING related to work! I am listing some changes I would like to see to the doctor career and some problems I am seeing in my game. The assistant/receptionist should automatically check-in patients to an empty bed. In my game, the assistant/receptionist does nothing but type on the computer while a line is forming in the waiting room. The nurses in my game finds 1 patient to talk to the entire shift. This causes me to have to debug constantly so I can get to that patient to perform examinations. The nurses should do some kind of work, examinations maybe? They can perform the small examinations, for example, 'check eyes'. 'check ears'. When the playable sim reaches a high level in the doctor career, they should be able to diagnose quickly. Currently, it takes half of the shift to diagnose and treat about 2 patients. At that point, I have a waiting room full of patients and some who had already left due to not being admitted in a timely manner. Please consider these changes in an update as it would make the doctor career more functional and enjoyable to play! Thank you :) [CM edit - CAPS in title]Please Make a Sports/Olympic Style Expansion!
A lot of forums are asking to start a sports pack for the olympics hype. Winter pack – you already have skiing and an ice rink. Would love to have a hockey team or some way to make a team like how you can make a group when you hang out. A lot of the content already exists. We just need more sports gear and equipment, then the ability to start or host competitions. You could even have groups join countries by having flags for each country. Click on the flag, join the team, start a competition in x sport. If there is some issue with country flags, you could make them just colors. If the Olympics is copyright, don't call it that; just call it the SIMS games... or something. I know a lot of people have sports ideas. Feel free to add on.
[Autonomy] What should be Added & What should be on a Cooldown.
In hindsight of the recent discord/reddit post about autonomy, I have been really thinking about what I wish was autonomous and what should be autonomous with a cooldown. I have mentioned repeatedly on multiple posts that traits/likes/dislikes/etc. should determine autonomy, but if they actually manage to overhaul traits/likes/dislikes/etc. to do that. We probably should be thinking what actions/interactions/socials should be added to autonomy, and what should have cooldowns. Some basic obvious is that if an activity/skill is Liked they will do it, and if Dislike they will not do it anonymously. But beyond that lets deep dive. Believe it or not I only just started rotational playing as of R&L, before I'd just add/remove Sims to my main household. What I noticed is when I run into my well know Sims (as in I know their personalities/skills/etc.) they do not act like they should (I guess while I play the household I wasn't as aware how much they do not act as their traits/skills/careers/life state/etc. should reflect). Here is my running list (obviously more tailored to my playstyle) which I will probably continue to add on: Autonomy based on Life State: Occults with ability trees/perks/etc. Specifically if unlocked from spellbook, ability or perks. Examples: Spellcaster Socialite. If a spellcaster has this socializing with other spellcasters should use these select spellcaster to spellcaster social. They have a built in cooldown and help with immersion while in the Magic Realm, Glimmerbrook or running into other spellcasters in other worlds/neighbourhoods. Learned Spells (and/or Ghost Mastery). If a spellcaster (and/or ghosts) has learned a spell, especially a practical (good) one that results in filling a need, if their need is low enough they should prioritize using a spell to fulfill it. Scruberoo the most apt and helpful and yet never used autonomously instead of shower/bath, and cleaning up (also Dispeller for ghosts). Repairo/Notice Maintenance also. What is the point of having to baby sit every Sim you have specialized in their ability trees, and when on community lots messes/broken items are all manually done X / Delicioso should be used over cooking and Grand Delicioso should be used if on home lot (if multiple members). A spellcaster should technically never need to cook if this spell is learned, unless directed or a trait compels them to. For the more mischievous if learned mischief spells (and/or evil Ghost Mastery) with high enough Mischief skill maybe (to ensure they are acting to their personality and development), will use these spells/abilities on disliked/despised Sims. Transportalate. Though I love this spell, when I invite a Sim who has this spell toggled to "Always Transportalate", they do not wait long enough, and Transportalate off lot (I have to strategically place my Sim where they will arrive, and queue up fast to keep them on lot), at the very least if not the active household let more time go by before Transportalate off lot. Autonomy based on Traits: Mystic Sims do have autonomy with one of their social, but not the other. Disruptive Sims, should autonomously Disturb Plants (especially if they also dislikes gardening, likes Mischief, and/or have high enough Mischief skill). Plant Lovers (and/or those with high enough gardening or botanists in the gardening career) should be feeding Cowplant more often to prevent the Piece of Cake lure. Autonomy based on Reward/Aspiration Traits/Lifestyles: Critter Enthusiast: Flutter Eyes, Flutter Kiss and Cocoon Hug should be autonomous. Autonomy based on Skills: Natural Living Skill, if high enough should use Privy Bush, Bathe (if water nearby), and Sleep on the ground when in world (not near a lot). Autonomous Foraging, if NLS high enough and out in the world away from a lot I think these Sims should be foraging instead of cloud gazing (but maybe on a cooldown). Autonomous Foraging for Apothecary Ingredients, if Apothecary Level 2, the Sim should then prioritize this one instead of regular foraging. And maybe not have a cooldown as getting rare apothecary ingredients is hard enough. Autonomy based on Career: Noble Sims (even if also Proper), should prioritize Noble introduction, and Noble socials. Socials unbecoming of a Noble should be blacklisted from autonomy unless a trait compels them to. Naturopaths have so many socials but do not seem to use any as socials (or at least as priority). Autonomy based on Objects in Inventory: Macabre Sims, if Tarot Cards are in inventory should autonomously self read (has a built in cooldown)/and occasionally read for others (but on autonomy cooldown to prevent spamming). Swordsmanship, please unless a Sword is in inventory (at the very least for the active household), should not be able to Duel autonomously. Sims with high enough NLS and Fish/Frogs/Produce in inventory should eat the lowest rarity when in red/amber hunger need. Voodoo Doll, stop autonomously putting away! What are your suggestions and wants for Autonomy?
Stop advertisements during gameplay
With then newest Lost Legacies Event, the in-game store icon now shows a text message advertising DLC content just below it. For the love of god, please stop these advertisements. They block in-game messages I need to read to actually play the game. It's incredibly frustrating and grating to not only sit through TWO full page advertisements upon opening the game, but to then have to be continually harassed in my own save game? It's unacceptable, and enough to want to quit the game completely if this continues. In five minutes of gameplay, I've received FOUR of these messages. It's distracting and is making the game UNPLAYABLE.
Private doctor's office
Is it possible now, we have the new Bisoness and hobies. Is it possible to get a private doctor's office? There doesn't seem to be such an option on the list, I had really hoped and believed that it would be possible now. Will this section soon include the possibility that Severus could set up a private practice and have his wife assist him in his work?Wedding photo
Hi, I wish I had a big wedding photo on my wall. The size of a large painting. When my Sims get married and they're in the middle of saying their wedding vows, it would be nice if I could take a picture of the couple in their wedding attire. I could put it on the wall as a keepsake. I've been diligently teaching one of the parents to paint from a model. Then he has a crisis and can't paint. But if I could take a picture of a young wedding couple, that would be nice. It would also be nice if the family had a family album with pictures of them at different ages and a little explanation underneath, who and where.
Thank you to our forum Heroes, Managers and The Sims Team as whole
As a Simmer I know I want it all and I want it now, even when there are no answers and I feel the answers/fixes should be coming faster than they do. I can't exactly apologize for that, but having worked in customer service for as long as I have, I do understand the frustrations on your end. Trying to get more information, get complaints grouped appropriately, taking in the endless whining and complaining (I know I'm guilty of it), and everything else. I just read the upcoming laundry list and suddenly felt terribly guilty for the incredibly heavy weight of The Sims world that is on your shoulders. I also hope that all of you understand how important you are to this monster we call The Sims and realize how groundbreaking it was, is and probably will always be. We Simmers have a passion for our sims that has not faded or faltered with time. Many of us were very young when the game came out and now we are nearing our end years and so waiting a year or two, or five or ten for game issues to be understood or fixed is increasingly more frustrating. With that said, as much as I gripe and complain, I am still very thankful for The Sims Team and truly do appreciate everything that goes into doing what you do, especially the repetitiveness of game issues and dealing with Simmers. So I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! 😍New Career Ideas For The Sims 4
I have these ideas I believe it would benefit greatly from the addition of several new interactive career paths. I would like to suggest adding careers such as Mail Carrier for your sims not NPC only Bounty Hunter, Firefighter and Barber, designed with a gameplay style similar to the active careers introduced in the The Sims 4: Get to Work expansion. These careers would allow players to actively follow their Sim to work and participate in their daily tasks rather than simply sending them off-screen. For example Mail Carrier Career: Players could deliver mail and packages to homes and businesses across every world from the various expansion packs, interacting with NPC Sims and completing daily delivery routes. Barber Career: Sims could operate or work at a barbershop, cutting and styling hair for NPC Sims, creating a fun and creative gameplay mechanic where players customize hairstyles in real time. Bounty Hunter Career: Sims could track down targets, investigate locations, and complete missions across different neighborhoods. Firefighter Career: Sims could save NPC houses, parks and businesses around town, save NPC’S Sims & their pets from fires
Some general quality of life updates...
Sul, Sul. Here are some quality of life things I personally would like to see implemented. I've been playing Sims since Gen one and the release of it's very first expansion. I'm a die-hard simmer, and naturally keep to myself. But today, I'd like to share some things about Sims 4 I think could do with just a little bit of tweaking. 1, The ability to customize the different life span durations was a huge part of my gameplay 'must do's' back during The Sims 3 era. I would like to be able to customize my experience a bit more through the option of picking exact days I want each stage to last. 2, Holy notifs! There is SO much going on in the sims! Which I LOVE. But, I don't want to be notified for EVERY festival and event, all the time. I use mod's to filter out some of the festival notifications, but I would much rather stay vanilla. Phone notifications, Festival and Event notifications, are all very overwhelming at times, especially if I'm doing a specific gameplay for a certain save. That being said, optimizing the calendar and making it more customizable, being able to remove and add whatever events and festivals you want to be notified for, by adding a toggle option for each type of festival / event. I would love to add more customization options to make the calendar less obsolete and play a bigger role in my gameplay management. 3, Rolling on with the Phone notifications specifically; even putting my sims phone on silent doesn't stop the incredible amount of calls my sims get. Consider needing to have an established amount of relationship / friendship before everyone calls asking for life advice. I would personally enjoy using a DND (do not disturb) option from time to time where no calls get through, unless generally important (sims missing work, bills needing paid, stuff like that). 4, Like calls, why does every single sim want to knock over my trash can and play in the trash? With every save I'm forced to either fence in my yard to keep from people knocking over my garbage, or getting the in-the-wall trash can. Adjusting to having to have so much of a negative relationship should be necessary before my trash can gets knocked over. 5, Following that, when I set my door to "No trespassing" I can select every option and still have people knocking on my doors all day. If you tell the game what people not to show up, it starts sending your friends, all, the, time. Maybe a bug, maybe it could use a tweak to make the duration between visits a bit longer.
Inspired By the Well Part 2
Lets Say you throw a Picture of a Woman or Man you like you get them to like you but if they Married and Loyal to there Mate you get 0% chance if they no Loyalty to them you may get a %1 to 100% chance Depending on how they fee about you attraction is in creased by !% to !0% only If they not so ingested it can change but no Guarantee you get them. It depends on attraction like Eye color , Skin tone If they Into the Female or Male. the more the Higher the Percentage. This Requires Phorophyte and also who took the Picture could affect the Percentage. anther words the Photophore could get Percent change But if they Married to the Person the Percentage takes no affect If they not Married to the Person they get Percent chance that Varys if they interested in Female or Male.Inspired
I have an idea why not add to the Sims 4 an Inspired Bar say they look at an Object they can get inspired and paint it the more higher Painted the more Value it gets say they get inspired looking at a Sim they like they get inspired and paint them on the Canvas. maybe Poetry gets in spired differently.[CAS] Mirror Hair and/or Accessory Option
I got some new packs yesterday, but a hair I really like has the part on the wrong side, as my Sim wears asymmetrical earrings (the Grim Event ones with the scythe) and a Grimborn birthmark (on the same side). I was so disappointed, as the hair is so nice but the earrings and birthmark are just more important. I thought maybe all hairs and/or accessories should have a mirrored option, and in the case of accessories if it is hand/arms you can mirror and have on both sides.Allow to edit/update Dynasties via any member
I really like Dynasties but every time I go to edit the Dynasty Details or spend the Perk Points, I realize... oops I am not on the head/leader, then I have toggle out, and select the head/leader, but what if I am not in the household with the head/leader oof... Edit: Really? No one with larger dynasties with the head/lead in another household, is fine having to re-add their head/lead to active household just to add more perks?Windows - Dull/matt
Hello there It could be really cool to get a funtion for windows to add "matt/dull". I often think about this when adding windows to the bathroom or stores that I build. Its a cool privacy tool. It could be a full cover or half the bottom. Also for the doors that have windows Types: Thick matt layer Thin matt layer Bubbles Stribes Colors I added som pictures for inspiration :-)Ogl + Btd
I love off the grid living, but unlike laundry day that comes with a washtub/bin and clothesline, bust the dust doesn't come with a broom/dustpan. If I'm playing with my sim in the eco lifestyle play, the vacuums can still work in the story, but when I have my sim living out in the country with no electricity, (technophobe lifestyle) a broom would make more sense. I know it's been brought up before, it would just be fun to not turn off btd when playing out in the country just so it doesn't ruin the immersion.
Degrees of like/dislike...
This is mainly for the like/dislike of skills/activities. The more a Sim likes/dislikes a skill the faster/slower it will progress. If a Sim dislikes a skill then the Sim will not be about to reach the max level of the skill. If a career requires a skill that the Sims doesn't like then the Sim will not be able to reach the top level of the career. If a Sim has a level 1 dislike of a skill, the Sim could only progress in the skill 75% of max, level 2 50% and level 3 25%. Skill limitations could also be tied to some traits. Clumsy Sims shouldn't be able to max out fitness. How far the Sim can progress in the fitness skill could be randomized so not all clumsy Sims are the same. Maybe Gloomy/Loner Sims might not be able to max of Charisma.Tabletop 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? And also maybe expand from Crystal Trees, like metal producing bushes or something?
