Body Hair
Why is something that wasn’t standard from the get go set as on as default and has to be switched off every.single.time.you.make.a.sim? Ten years of playing and now I have to remember to turn off body hair. why do I have to shave my arm and legs separate. There are women on this team, yes? Could we maybe speak to one about shaving in real life. We don’t take 500 showers to shave each body part separately, do y'all have sisters and female partners and do you interact with them in any way at all? What are you doing? I don’t even want shaving as an option in game at all let alone have gorilla thickness as the default setting.
The New Currency
They recently came out with an in-game currency. The only reason they make new packs or even add new things like currency is clearly the team being money hungry. All DLC is what makes the sims 4 fun but without them the game is a shell with not much to do. I sank so much money into this game to just constantly continuing to do that. They add new things but don't fix bugs that they all have caused. Even infants and toddlers have issues, Toddlers came out soon after the games release in 2014.
Re-Organize Pie Menu
Edit March 21, 2026: Update Pie Menu consistency. I get rather annoyed some selections have the appropriate skill/trait/etc. icon but not all of them. Sometimes when I am tired—I get lazy, and love that I can associate with icons, but so many are missing! Original Post: Ignore the "Skill Lock..." it is a mod. Green arrow up means should be on first tier, orange arrow down means second tier (possibly removed), and red arrow down means last tier or removed. But a suggestion with an example Sim with traits/likes/dislikes in mind. I find the most used is on 2nd or 3rd tier, and some options will never be used as per the Sims' personality (likes/dislikes), traits and even ideals. Life State/Trait/Ideals items should be Prioritized. Disliked Skills/Actions like Singing or jogging (Fitness) should be removed or demoted to next pie menu tier Utensils should be set in CAS/Simology panel like in the like/dislike section. If Natural Living Maxed using umbrella should be removed or demoted to next pie menu tier Recall a Lost Formative Moment should be removed or demoted to next pie menu tier Flaunt wealth seems like a Celebrity or Materialist trait action and should be removed from Sims who do not have these type of traits This example my Sim both dislikes and Ideals are against mean/mischief so should be demoted or removed. Magic should be in the first level/tier. This example my Sim both dislikes and Ideals are against complaints so should be demoted or removed. Small Talk should be in the first level/tier, this is just the most used social and I don't know why it is on the last tier.Thrift Tea Activies
I almost always turn Paragons into a teen club that goes to Thrift Tea. I wish there were thrift tea related activities that could be added to the club. They'll autonomously browse the clothes rack. They don't autonomously create outfits like the visiting NPC and premade townie sims do. If the fashion show or poetry reading events spawn, they will autonomously join that, and I do appreciate that. It would be cool if they would autonomously try on clothes from the thrift tea racks (as opposed to adding a closet upstairs) and show them off to each other.Needed CAS updates/editions
I have said some of these things previously but I wanted to do a CAS specific one. -More tattoos. I know you can find tattoos on the gallery but I often find them buggy. I would rather have more tattoos that simply come with basegame, I also think that some of the older tattoos could use some refining. -More piercings. I think more facial piercings would be great and I also think the current ones could use some updating as they are far too large and bulky. -More jewelry. I simply need more jewelry and would certainly love more subtle and dainty jewelry. As you can see one of my biggest complaints is how large and bulky many of the accessories are. Glasses as well would be something I would like more options for, and once again less large and bulky ones. -Winter outfit settings. For cold weather outfits I'd love to be able to set outfits I make in that category to be worn specifically when its chilly or for when its snowing. Like I could set that my sim automatically changes into an outfit with a lighter sweater or coat for when its chilly out but a larger coat or snowsuit for when it is snowing. I also think the addition of scarves and maybe earmuffs would be cute. -Shoes. I just want better shoes. -More hair colours and the option to choose the secondary colour for dual-toned hairs as well as the colour of hair accessories that come with hairs. Also, more eye colours. I find the swatches for eyes can be too vibrant and unnatural, especially the blues/greens. I really would love more natural looking eye colours. That's all for now, I will probably make a build/buy list and gameplay list at some point as well.
Ideas for Project X and The Sims 4
Dear developers, today, after watching the news from Hobogivili, on this significant day I’m sharing with you what I’ve seen in my dreams for The Sims: Project X. This is a very pressing topic, because today, right now, I have the task of revealing to you my dream, my vision for Project X. And I’m very worried about this. In general, I envision that after the main loading screen, there’s space with the Sims’ planet at its centre. After scrolling with the mouse wheel, we zoom in on the planet and enlarge the landscape. Once we’ve zoomed in as far as possible, we see a continent and cities — some accessible to us, others not until an update is released. Or perhaps we see empty areas that will transform into cities, suburbs, towns, and villages with future expansions. This implementation is needed so that you don’t have to worry about how you’ll add vacation islands. For example, Siudemorade is all jungles, which can’t exist in the main country due to the climate. Then there’s Antarctica or beaches like Ibiza — these are islands that don’t need to be fully unlocked. It’s enough to give us a large playable area, as was done in The Sims 4. If you want, you can fully develop an island as a vacation spot. But I’m thinking about you, about your efforts, and about saving resources — just as investors and EA want. So vacation spots could be implemented like in The Sims 4: partially, giving us a few blocks for отдыха (rest/vacation), but connected together and logically linked. I don’t know how you see it. So consider this my concern for the future project. Naturally, I’m worried about what it will be like, and this really concerns me. Of course, the main cities should be fully realised, like countries, and logically connected, so that a Sim can fly from one country to another. This way, we could release a “Nationalities” and “Foreigners” expansion, exploring the mixing of cultures and family traditions. You’ll also have a huge task ahead: improving the genetics of such children. By the way, on the main panel after loading into planet mode, we have favourite families in the top‑right corner for quick access to loading them. This way, each player can place 1 to 8 families, for example, on the right panel for quickly jumping into their virtual lives. All this takes place on the The Sims planet screen. It’s time for you to believe in yourselves and your abilities, to truly see and feel the full scale and potential of The Sims — what it will be, what it will become, and what it already is. Next, regarding The Sims 4: I’d really like you to update the animations, work on character traits and life situations, and refresh the cities. “Refreshing cities” means adding new gameplay mechanics that have come with expansions. For instance, children playing hide‑and‑seek on their own at the playground. In the morning, a neighbour goes out to walk her dog, and so on. Just give them a little touch‑up — like dusting off your work before the final finish. Next, add new animations for Sims and new interactions with objects: pulling a blanket out of a closet and falling asleep on the couch, or unfolding a sofa for guests and preparing it for their overnight stay. Also, take inspiration from The Sims Community and your own moodlets — your moodlets contain far more animations and possibilities that haven’t yet been implemented in the game. Also, work on and update Sim relationships and life situations — for example, showing how a Sim can be happy even when they’re broke or can’t pay their rent. Let them cry, writhe under the weight of their burdens, and so on. Plus, in both The Sims 4 and Project X, it would be great to have the option to borrow money from friends and acquaintances. I know this feature exists, but not via their smartphone. It would be nice to see it better integrated. Overall, you can keep playing and working on both Project X and The Sims 4 for a long time — and keep improving them, so you can bring the game to a worthy level, up to the heights of Olympus! Нейронная сеть не могла нарисовать его таким, каким я его вижу. ________ В общем, я вижу после основного загрузочного экрана космос, в центре которого — планета симов. После кручения колёсика мыши мы приближаемся к планете и увеличиваем ландшафт. После того как мы максимально приблизили ландшафт, мы видим материк и города, которые нам как доступны, так и недоступны, пока не выйдет обновление. А возможно, видим пустори, которые с дополнением преобразуются в города, пригороды, посёлки и деревни. Данная реализация нужна для того, чтобы вам не пришлось ломать голову по поводу того, как вы будете добавлять острова для отпуска. К примеру, Сиудемораде — вообще джунгли, которые в основной стране не могут быть в силу климата. Далее — Антарктида или пляжи типа Ибицы: это вообще острова, которые не обязательно открывать полностью. Достаточно дать нам большое игровое место, как было реализовано в The Sims 4. Если хотите, можете полностью прорабатывать остров для места отпуска. Но я же думаю о вас, о ваших силах, об экономии, как хотят того инвесторы и EA. Поэтому места для отпуска можно реализовать, как в The Sims 4, — частично, давая нам пару кварталов для отдыха, но объединённых вместе и логически объединённых. Я не знаю, как видите это вы. Так что считайте это моим переживанием за будущий проект. Естественно, я волнуюсь за то, каким он будет, и это меня очень волнует. Естественно, основные города должны быть реализованы, как и страны, в полном объёме и логически объединены, чтобы симс мог летать из одной страны в другую. Так мы выпустим дополнение «Национальности» и «Иностранцы», сможем раскрыть тему смешивания культур и семейных традиций. А также вам предстоит огромная работа по улучшению генетики таких детей. Кстати, на основной панели после загрузки в режиме планеты у нас в правом углу есть избранные семьи для быстрого доступа к их загрузке. Так каждый игрок может поместить от 1 до 8, к примеру, семей на правую панель для быстрой загрузки в их виртуальную жизнь. Всё это происходит на экране с планетой The Sims. Пора бы вам начать верить в себя и свои силы, чтобы по‑настоящему увидеть и почувствовать весь тот масштаб и потенциал игры The Sims, которым она будет, и которым она станет, и которым она является сейчас. Далее — The Sims 4. Очень прошу обновить анимации и поработать с чертами характера и жизненными ситуациями, а также обновить города. Обновить города — это значит добавить новые игровые механики, которые пришли к нам с дополнением. К примеру, дети на детской площадке играют в прятки сами по себе. Утром соседка идёт выгуливать собаку и так далее. Обновите их немного — это как припорошить свою работу перед её полным завершением. Далее добавьте новые анимации симам и возможности с объектами: плед вытащить из шкафа и лечь спать на диван или расстелить диван для гостей и подготовить его для их ночёвки. Плюс вдохновитесь The Sims Community и своими облачками: в ваших облачках куда больше заключено анимаций и возможностей, которые не реализованы в игре. Далее поработайте, обновите отношения симов и жизненные ситуации — типа того, как симс может быть счастлив, когда он без денег или у него нет возможности оплатить счета за квартиру. Пусть рыдает, бьётся в конвульсиях от тяжести бремени и так далее. Плюс в The Sims 4 и проекте X было бы классно увидеть возможность занимать деньги в долг у друзей и знакомых. Я знаю, что эта возможность реализована, но не через их смартфон. А хорошо бы увидеть их. В общем, играть и с проектом X, и с проектом The Sims 4 вам можно ещё долгое время, как и улучшать, для того чтобы вывести игру на достойный уровень Олимпа!Update ideas from a original sims player.
Hello I’ve been playing sims 4 almost since the game came out. I’ve played every sims from sims 1 to sims freeplay to sims mobile to my sims, annd ofc sims 4 is my favorite but there are certain things the old sims have that this current sims lack. I love the new updates with coach and the alarm system etc for base game. But could you add new bodies for black people and new features and hair for black peopme like wigs and box braids and dreads etc. also could you add a grocery delivery app and a food and essential delivery app ? Also could yall add where you can actually use the bonfire and stuff like tha cause there are multiple objects tha could be functional instead it sits like a decoration instead, also could holidays be put in base game please ? I understand the idea of seasons but we literally have summer and winter clothes and hiliday things and can’t even put it to use. Also could you add more things for children to do in base game like more toys like a bay doll stroller and rc cars and stuff like that. And add realistic cooking like where you can’t cook unless you buy the ingredients needed from the grocery store. Also can you add more lots to base game so sims won’t be stuck in the house because it’s nothing to do. Like a carnival or even furniture for us to build different lots and the option to select it in the lot menu and more lot traits PLEASEEEEE. Also the nails update and stuff again I LOVEEEEE.[Idea] Underground Grotto Type World
I don't know if anyone will know the reference, but in the series Troll Hunters—Troll Market—is amazing. I would love a sunless/seasonless/weatherless underground world for occults, and fantasy players. The Forgotten Grotto is a great starting point to how the world could look like. It would be great for vampires to be able to live without fear of the sun, werewolves without the effects of the moon, and basically a place where all occults (maybe not aliens) can congregate. Season specific plants can grow year round as they are auto "sheltered". And if you add Troll (or Goblin) occult OMG, that be amazing with a human disguise form.
Marketplace Feedback
First off, I really like the idea of the marketplace! I like that kits have been moved into the marketplace and can be purchased with Moola, and are alongside other content from the community of creators! I do hope this means EA/Maxis will focus on making actual Stuff Packs more over creating so many Kits. Feedback: 1 The interface is huge and hard to see even one row of content in the marketplace, please make the interface smaller and more consistent, some elements are enormous others are reasonably sized. My monitor is 2560x1440 and is 27" there is no reason for the interface to be so big. 2 Filters: Add a currency filter to the filter options, so I can select Moola or real money. When selecting "Free" under the Pricing filter, it shows more than just the free content. Add Maxis/EA as an option under the "Makers" filter. 3 On the Get Moola page show the cost per Moola breakdown. Offer more consistent deals as the amount goes up. 500 and 1000 are the same value. 200 is 80/$1.00 500 is 100/$1.00 1000 is 100/$1.00 2600 is 104/$1.00 5500 is 110/$1.00
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.
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.
