CAS Feature Request: Allow Hair Colour to Be Changed Per Outfit Category
CAS Feature Request: Allow Hair Colour to Be Changed Per Outfit Category I would love to see the ability to change a Sim’s hair colour separately for each outfit category in Create-a-Sim. Currently, players can customize almost every part of a Sim’s appearance and wardrobe on a per-outfit basis. We can change clothing, shoes, accessories, makeup, nails, and even the hairstyle itself for Everyday, Formal, Athletic, Sleep, Party, Swimwear, and other outfit categories. However, hair colour is locked across all outfits. 😥 This feels inconsistent with the amount of customization CAS already provides. Players who create Sims with colourful, alternative, eccentric, fantasy, or themed styles often use hair colour as an important part of the overall outfit design. A Sim might have pink hair for their everyday look, a different colour for a formal outfit, or a completely different style for a party or costume-inspired outfit. Allowing hair colour to be changed per outfit category would give players more creative freedom and better match the level of customization already available throughout CAS. CAS players spend a lot of time creating detailed Sims and curated outfits. This small change would make a huge difference for storytelling, self-expression, and creativity. Pretty please consider adding per-outfit hair colour options in a future update! 😊 - A lifelong Sims player 🤓💖
Forever Free Packs for Everyone
The Sims 4 is a 10-year-old game with over 100 DLC packs (110), and EA will likely keep releasing more for years. Competing life-sim games like Inzoi and Paralives offers much of this content in their base game. For example, Inzoi can provide content equivalent to 30–40 Sims 4 packs in its basegame for the price of just one expansion pack(40$) and we already have 21 of them. To stay competitive and keep players engaged, EA should make some older packs permanently free—such as Seasons, Cats & Dogs and Get to Work. Giving 2–4 free packs from each pack category would greatly benefit new players so they can complete other packs without pirating. For players who already own these packs, EA could offer new Kits free for a month (like they did with Desert Luxe Kit when The Sims 4 became free). I think forever free packs should be; 2 expansion packs -> seasons, cats and dogs (out of 21 eps) 2 game packs -> dine out, get to work (out of 12 gps) 4 stuff packs -> cool kitchen, bowling night, backyard, spooky (out of 20 sps) 5 kits -> throwback fit, industrial loft, blooming rooms, carnaval streetwear, moonlight chic (out of 43 kits of excluding 12 creator kits and 2 spongebob kits, total 57)
The Family Tree Overhaul pt.2
The Sims 4 Needs a Second Family Tree Overhaul Dear EA/Maxis & Fellow Simmers, About a year ago I made a post on here complaining about how bare bones the Family Tree was. Parents, siblings, kids, grandparents, and that was it. Anyone past that just didn't exist as far as the game was concerned, and if a Sim died or got culled, half their branch could disappear with them. If you've ever run a long legacy save you know how frustrating that is. You lose track of who's related to who, and worse, the game itself loses track, which is how you end up with cousins flirting with each other because as far as the code is concerned they're strangers. Then February happened. The Family Tree update gave us ten generations, real labels for in laws, half siblings, step relatives, great grandparents, grand aunts and uncles, the whole thing. Direct ancestors and descendants can't romance each other anymore either. Honestly, it was one of those rare moments where you post a suggestion and then actually watch it show up in the game. So first, thank you. That update was not small. But I'm back because there's still a hole in it, and it's the same hole that started this whole conversation, just one generation further out now. Past first cousin, everything gets dumped into one label: Distant Relative. A second cousin and a fourth cousin and a first cousin twice removed all look identical to the game. And that's exactly the gap that lets it happen again, just further down the tree. My great grandkids from two different siblings ended up developing feelings for each other, and the game had absolutely no idea they were second cousins, even though the tree itself would've told you that in two clicks. So here's round two of the ask, and honestly it's the natural next step after what you already built: Actual cousin degree labels. Second cousin, third cousin, once removed, twice removed, calculated instead of everything past first cousin getting lumped together. In law labels that go further out too. Uncle in law, aunt in law, step in law cousin, not just the immediate parent/sibling in law set from February. Make the relation calculated, not a checklist. The direct ancestor block already works this way, so extend that same logic outward instead of relying on a short list of flags. Worth mentioning, those flags can already break. There are bug reports of cousin relationships silently vanishing if a sibling gets deleted in CAS the wrong way. A slider for how far the blocking goes. Some of us want it locked down tight past third or fourth cousin. Others are doing royal dynasty saves where historically accurate cousin marriage is kind of the point. Give us an option like the Woohoo settings and everyone's happy. Some kind of visual difference for how closely related someone is. Even just a shading difference between close, extended, and distant would help once a tree gets past five or six generations, because right now it's just a wall of names. I know this sounds like a big ask, but it's not really new territory. Crusader Kings 3 already does the harder version of this with zero mods, it calculates actual relatedness between any two characters based on their closest shared ancestor and that number decides whether a marriage is even allowed. Sims 3 never got past first cousins at all, so this franchise has been behind on this for a long time, and inZOI, which a lot of people are watching as the next big competitor, actually went the opposite direction and loosened up who can romance who instead of adding this kind of detail. This is a chance for Sims 4 to actually be the one that gets it right details and all. This isn't just about stopping awkward accidental cousin romance, though that alone would be worth it. It's about the tree actually meaning something again once your save hits ten, fifteen generations. Right now the further out you play, the less the game understands its own family. Thanks again for February. Hoping this gets picked up the same way. A devoted Simmer & generational player

I was just thinking it would be cool to have some sort of Near Death Experience milestone. Recently my sim has saved 2 sims lives by pleading with Grim and they're bought back to life and have a sentiment towards the sim that saves them but that's it. I just thought it would be good to be made into something a little more. Even when a ghost is bought back to life there's no sentiment or milestone about the time spent as a ghost or no sentiment towards the sim who bought them back to life. Hopefully I'm making sense :)
Guests randomly show up sad, angry, or tense
Often, when I use 'Invite over to current lot" or "Plan a social event", guests randomly show up sad, angry, or tense. I'm not sure I remember it happening with club gatherings, but maybe. This just ruins the visit/gathering, and I have to resort to using the MCCC mod to remove all of their moodlets. It's too hard to remove a specific moodlet; since I don't know the exact moodlets they have. Even though I have MCCC to help me, I shouldn't have to do this.
Suggestions: missing DLC items
I'd like to say that i really liked the idea of adding new stuff to old DLCs through updates or events. The packs really need some updates and that includes some items missing in them so this is really good to see. Of course the ideal would be refreshes but as we can't have them, getting items here and there can be good and useful. So here are some ideas of content we should get: (July 2026: Added Mini pigs and Raccons lot challenge) Alien antennaes for Get to Work Bandages for Get to Work: Mainly for head, torso and legs; For arms only if we can use both arms at the same time. Plasma fruit recipes stall for Vampires Vampiric Emporium stall for Vampires Adult version of vampire's children hairs for Vampires Animal ears headpiece for Cats & Dogs/Werewolves/Spooky Stuff Dog houses for Cats & Dogs Clothesline for Seasons: Compatible with clothes wet by rain. Lightning strike scar for Seasons Shark/Dolphin/Eel tail for Island Living Fin-like ears for Island Living/Enchanted by Nature Fixed Patchy's hat for Realm of Magic Mentoring black board/podium for Realm of Magic Functional small cauldrons for Realm of Magic Werewolf body hair for Werewolves Wolfsbane corsage for Werewolves: Weakens werewolves fury and give uncomforrable moodlet. Unicorn horn as sim's headpiece for Horse Ranch Mini Pigs for Horse Ranch (NEW) Racoons lot challenge for Business & Hobbies Fur pants for Enchanted by Nature
Bassinet debacle
Trying to change bassinets is currently an absolute pain. I've read the "solutions" and it is just maddening. Can we please get a feature that allows us to assign babies to a bassinet like normal beds and an adult can then move the baby to a different bassinet? Can we make this easier to do in the game, please? It makes no sense to have all these beautiful bassinets in the game but make it so difficult to change out.
Sims Idea to improve University and Highschool
For University: introducing Night School so your sim can work full time AND get their degree. For high school: Adding boarding schools and study abroad opportunities where sims can travel to different neighborhoods and tour like tourists. Adding teen hustles like selling candy out of their lockers.
Galery search mechanism taking too long
I know it's not a bug, but it is very annoying to search something in the galery. I mean, if i'm looking for a high school 64x64 with one pack and sorted by popularity, i have to click one time on lot, then it's loading automatically, then i'm clicking on size, and it's loading, then on type of lot, another load etc etc... can we check everything and THEN process the search ? it is very annoying and it's such a waste of time for nothing :/Modifications to Romantic Socials on Furniture?
Something I've noticed is that certain socials under the romance category aren't really compatible with furniture, especially beds. For example, if your Sim uses the "hold hands" social, they will cancel any current sitting action instead of just multitasking like how they would with a TV. (I'm sorry if this sounds really nitpicky, I've just been out of ideas lately and thought this might help).
Why, after 12 years?
I'm a 64-year-old woman, that is a Sim addict. I've been playing Sims since its inception. it's been over 26 years (ish). Now, Sims 1 was amazing. It was new. Loved it. Sims 2 blew my mind. I could actually get up close to my sims. Sims 3....... Okay, let's just not look at the game to hard. The open world was great. But unless you had a new, fancy, computer with mega RAM, and the most updated technology, it lagged, or you would get to a night club, or downtown, and be the only sims there. Plus, let's not forget the pudding faces, ugh! But we had cars! We had cars in the Sims 2 that we could get into and build as a hobby. Remember that? We even had a helicopter!!! We had cars in the Sims 3, that we could actually see our Sim driving around in (okay, that was useless, but they were still cars). And then, they dangled the Sims 4 in our faces. It looked amazing. We thought, can you imagine the cars and things they'll give us in this new game? And.... No cars. The Sims 4 came out in 2014. 2014!!! It's been 12 years!! They announce a new EP, and I hold my breath, hoping they will finally give us a good EP. Maybe something like, Sims 4 "Come with Me" (as a sample), that would have our Sims going to that Granite Falls place that no one goes to, in RVs and campers. Maybe we'd have an airport that our Sims could fly to exotic places. Is it too much to ask for a bus station? Train station? CARS?!?!! No. No, they said. We're giving you the best EP to date. Death and Dying (huh?). How about an EP about fairies? Here's another about royalty. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm sure a lot of people have their niches and love those kinds of EPs. Everybody's got their something, right? But in those EPs somewhere. maybe along the fringes, the edges where no one could see, there could have been an update for cars. You gave us bikes, and Sulani gave us boats, and jet skis. I just think it would've been nice for my Sim to go to the airport, actually board a plane (maybe experience some turbulence, and get green-faced, or have a flight delay), and once they land in Sulani, have a lei placed around their necks, pick out a rental car, or get an Uber, to arrive at their resort (Thanks Adventure Awaits). We could've had new careers like a pilot, train conductor, flight attendant, check-in attendant, Uber driver. The possibilities are there. But no. EA in all of its grand imagination said no. No cars, or any modes of actual transportation after 12 years. Here's death, some fairies, and some palaces. Wonderful. Rant over.
Horse pack ideas
As a horse lover and someone who loved to play with horses in Sims 3, I miss being able to create a jumping course and the ability to create a race track. My ideas: A pack either stuff pack, game pack or kit, for more expansion to the "Horse Ranch" pack. I'm thinking something like "my first pet stuff" to bring more content to horses. Jumping: My dream is to be able to have more different jumps, the cavaletti, an oxer, wall jump, triple bars and the water obstacle to make jumping more realistic. Especially the ability to make a course and connect the jumps like in Sims 3, instead of the single jumps we have right now. Racing: To be able to make a racing course, in Sims 3 we used to have training posts to create a racing path. Other stuff: More English styled equipment, other horse stuff like more pasture toys, a salt lick, more tack and gear, etc. Last but not least, ponies. That's all, thanks for reading :)
Expansion Pack Idea: Reef Life
Features: manage freshwater or saltwater tanks, cycle the tank before adding fish, test parameters (pH, salinity, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, calcium, alkalinity, magnesium), do water changes, dose, upgrade equipment, care for fish, corals, shrimp, and anemones, pay attention to compatibility and disease. Careers could include aquarium store owner, or aquarium maintenance tech, part time Aquarium Gift shop employee. Build/buy items like rimless tanks, sumps, protein skimmers, and LED reef lighting. Different species. New world: a coastal town with beaches, tide pools, and an aquarium. any ideas on aspirations? 😁🐠🌊2 Idea! Pack Idea: The Sims 4 Olympic Games / Go for Gold!
Pack Idea: The Sims 4 Olympic Games / Go for GoldHi everyone! I have another exciting idea for a future Expansion Pack. Since we already have some fitness gear, it would be amazing to have an expansion focused entirely on the Olympic Games and professional sports! 😀 Here is how the pack could work: New Athletic Disciplines: Add real Olympic sports like Track and Field (running, hurdles, long jump), Swimming, Gymnastics (rings, balance beam), and Martial Arts. Professional Athlete Career: Sims can sign up for national teams, hire a personal trainer, and manage their diet to stay in peak condition. The Stadium World: A brand new world with a massive stadium, Olympic village, and training centers where sports fans can hang out. The Grand Tournament Event: Every few weeks, a huge tournament takes place. Sims from all different worlds come together to compete, win gold, silver, or bronze medals, and stand on the podium!I think this would give a massive purpose to the fitness skill and create an incredible endgame for competitive players. What do you all think? That would be amazing!!!1 Idea!! Pack Idea: The Sims 4 High Octane / Racing Expansion Pack!
Pack Idea: The Sims 4 High Octane / Racing Expansion Pack Hi everyone! Since we do not have functional cars in The Sims 4 yet, I think a car-themed Expansion Pack would be amazing. It could be focused on cars, tuning, and racing!😀 Here are some ideas for the pack: New Racing Career: Sims can start as street racers or mechanic apprentices and work their way up to professional track champions. Mechanic Skill: A new skill where Sims can buy junk cars, repair them, upgrade the engines, and customize the paint jobs. New World with Tracks: A new world inspired by racing cities, featuring drag strips, race tracks, and cool hangouts for car clubs. Car Clubs and Street Races: A new social system where Sims can form car clubs, show off their vehicles, and participate in nighttime street races. I know many players miss cars, and making it an expansion focused on car culture and racing would make it incredibly fun and unique! What does everyone think? i think it is a great idea! I would love to have that!!
