Sims Bustin' Out & Sims Urbz
With the rerelease of MySims on newer consoles, it deepens my desire even more for a rerelease of Sims Bustin' Out or Sims Urbz. I started playing Sims on PS2 and these are 2 of my favorite Sims games (I have played them all) The progression and grind aspect in both of these games was top tier. I miss the "story mode" concept where you start off as 1 sim and advance into new homes or worlds by doing quests and missions. Sims Urbz was one of a kind, all on its own. It was so versatile and challenging. While a slight upgrade to the graphics and game features would be amazing, I would still be quite literally thrilled to see just a simple rerelease of either or both of these games on console or PC.
Suggestions For Future Retro Rereleases
Hello, Dylan H., here. I've recently purchased MySims (2007) on PC, and I'm having a blast. I plan to purchase the cozy bundle soon after I save up a bunch. It's exciting to see EA and Maxis embrace the retro Simming community and port over legacy titles to new platforms. I work in retail and physical copies of the Cozy Bundle are already sold out at my store, and the Cozy Bundle has been one of the top 30 sellers on the Nintendo Eshop for weeks now, and I hope this signals EA and Maxis to take the plunge into porting more legacy content to not only the Switch, but also PC and other platforms as well. The Sims series is vast, with spinoffs of spinoffs of spinoffs, and the Sims itself is a spinoff of SimCity, too! Many of these ventures took liberties and risks with the core Sims formula and it's an era that sadly has been lost to time as consoles and handhelds have finally caught up to PC in terms of capabilities. What I'm getting at, is why not look into the weird, the wacky, the more obscure ports and releases in the series? MySims getting rereleased came out of NOWHERE and it was a thrill to see that pillar of the Sims, not only get acknowledged, but manifested into a duology of two really solid ports on a platform that makes perfect sense. From the release of the original "The Sims" on PC in 2000, EA was already interested in creating curated, custom experiences for consoles with "The Urbz" entering development first, and ultimately snowballing into a slew of Sims releases on console, at least one per year on all of the leading platforms from "The Sims" all the way through "The Sims: Bustin Out" and "The Urbz", all the way to The Sims 2 generation with "The Sims 2" (which began development as "The Urbz 2" before transitioning to a version of "The Sims 2" and ending its run with "The Sims 2 Castaways"... But the console versions are only the BEGINNING of the Rabbit Hole... The handheld versions is where it REALLY gets crazy... These games changed so much of the core Sims gameplay while still having that trademark wit and spirit and ultimately becoming their own weird, wacky thing. The Griptonite Games Trilogy spanning from "Bustin Out" on GBA, all the way to "The Sims 2" on GBA, DS, and PSP are a GOLDMINE of wackiness and crazy and are so totally unhinged... These games are so very special to so many people, across console, handheld and PC, and I feel that bringing back not only the PC versions of "The Sims" and "The Sims 2" but also the console and handheld editions as well, either through the source code or through emulated ports, would not only be successful, but would be a BOON to games preservation, and would save a bunch of these weird, wacky and experimental games from rot and overinflated resale prices. Heck, bringing "The Sims Complete Collection" and "The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection" back to PC via EA App, Steam or even GOG would be sufficient and would make so many people happy, but going that extra mile, bringing back the various console and handheld editions of the past to modern platforms, as untouched as humanly possible, would bring the nostalgia so ROCK HARD, oh my goodness! In essence, bringing back MySims... The floodgates have been opened, PLEASE take advantage of this opportunity, and bring back as many of these classic PC games, console editions and handheld variants as possible, to as many platforms as possible, in a humanly reasonable time frame for your developers (don't overexert yourselves, maybe focus on bringing back games at a steady rate to manage those resources just right) I don't care if it's a drip feed of singular games or bundles, if we at least get something brought back every year or so, I'll be happy... Don't know about everyone else. Game Development is hard. Working with source code and rom/disc image files from decades ago is MUCH harder. What I'm trying to say is, the old stuff is great! There's no way to give you money for the old stuff anymore. Please bring back the old stuff so we can give you money! Everyone is happy. Any day I don't have to go online to pay exorbantly high prices for a game that was 30-40 dollars at launch is a good day for me. The secondhand market is a nightmare - we need more of these rereleases because gaming history is important, these games shaped childhoods - they shaped lives, even. Some creators wouldn't be where they are today without these games. Please don't stop at MySims - bring back more legacy content. ESPECIALLY bring back the PC versions of The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 with all of their expansions included - the fact those aren't on GOG already is a CRIME TO HUMANITY. Please, we want to give you money for these games! Let us give you money for these games! And don't be afraid to bring back the WEIRD stuff. SimAnimals and SimCity Creator - I almost forgot to mention those, the Wii versions of those are the definitive versions, bring those back too! (Some of the videos I've seen of SimAnimals - The video on Scott The Woz's "Scott's Stash" channel was hysterical... If you know, you know. I would also look at Youtube videos of all of the games I mentioned - there are full retrospective videos on the Console and Portable versions of The Sims and MySims that ROCK, and I imagine some might have influenced the decision to bring back MySims. There are so many people who grew up and are fond of the DS version of The Sims 2 - I grew up with the DS version of MySims, why not bring that back too? There are so many collections on Switch that feature DS games, its weird dual screen form factor be darned, there is a way to bring back DS games to systems with only one screen, so there's no excuse - Bring 'em back! We want the retro! We even want the WEIRD and retro! You bring back MySims? Floodgates are now open - Take advantage of it for crying out loud! Made it this far? Great! Ciao for now! - DylanHow Many Plan on Buying Paralives vs TS5?
Now that Paralives is an actual real thing people won't have to deny it anymore (Steam has a whole page dedicated to it) will you buy it and or continue to wait on TS5's possible MMO? After reading all the job openings for Maxis new AAA game, it's very possible (looking like it's true) that TS5 will probably be multiplayer in some form or fashion..will you jump ship with Maxis?
What Music Are You Listening To Right Now?
This was a long running thread in the Off Topic section of the old Vanilla forums. Many of us were introduced to so many new artists we might never have found otherwise. We were reminded of old favorites we had forgotten too. Music moves the world, this thread is a place to celebrate the most universal art form. EDM, Blues, Punk, Metal, Hip Hop, Soul, if it moves you share it here. Don't You Worry Child - Swedish House Mafia
Is there any way to get a digital copy of the Sims Medieval?
It was one of my favorite games back when I had a PC that ran games and had the disk for it, but I cant find any way to get an official digital copy online and my new PC doesn't have a disk reader because for some reason it is no longer a thing they are adding to computers as a standard.

Please bring back The Sims Bustin' Out – remake or remaster for PS4/PS5!
Hi EA team and fellow Simmers, I’d love to request a remake or remaster of The Sims Bustin' Out for modern consoles, especially PS4 and PS5. This was one of my first games as a child, and I have so many nostalgic memories connected to it. I remember the unique locations, quirky characters, and that special adventure-like feel that made it stand out from other Sims titles. Unfortunately, the game was only in English, and I didn’t speak the language well at the time — so I couldn’t finish it or fully understand the tasks. Now that I’m older, I’d love to replay it and finally experience everything as it was meant to be. Sadly, my old console no longer works, and the game isn’t available on any current platforms. A remaster or remake would be like a dream come true — not just for me, but for many fans who grew up with Bustin’ Out. It was such a creative and unforgettable part of Sims history. Please consider bringing this gem back to life! Thank you for reading, and fingers crossed! #TheSimsBustinOut #BustinOutRemake
My Hopes For Project X
Most likely too late, won't happen, but here it is for prosperity. My hopes for Project X: Leveraging the Best of The Sims Franchise With the life simulation genre entering a new era of intense competition, EA and Maxis have a unique, powerful advantage that no competitor can match: 26 years of rich history, deep lore, and beloved mechanics. Instead of moving toward mobile-first architectures or fragmented platforms, the core player base is looking for a definitive, high-fidelity single-player experience. To successfully counter upcoming competitors, Project X should be a spiritual reboot that unifies the "Holy Grail" elements from the franchise's history into one cohesive masterpiece. Here are my hopes for the next-generation evolution of The Sims: The Core Character Depth & Gameplay of The Sims 2 The Sims 2 remains the absolute high-water mark for the franchise’s soul, quirkiness, and consequence. Narrative & Lore: Bring back the iconic, pre-baked drama and mystery. Launching with reimagined classic neighborhoods like Pleasantview, Strangetown, and Veronaville gives the game immediate emotional stakes and a narrative hook. The High-Stakes Aspiration System: Reinstate a meaningful "Wants and Fears" framework where actions have consequences, and failing a Sim's core aspirations introduces genuine game-play (like the classic, memorable psychological breakdowns). And let's not forget memories. Attention to Detail: Prioritize the micro-animations that made Sims feel alive—opening drawers for utensils, distinct bed-making animations, and deeply expressive physical interactions (like cuddling in bed or dramatic fights). The Living, Seamless Ecosystem of The Sims 3 Semi-Open Neighborhood: Utilize modern, optimized technology to bring back a seamless open world, avoiding the performance pitfalls of the past. Organic Neighborhood Drama: Eliminating loading screens between active lots allows the community to interact in real-time. Players should be able to look out their Sim's window and organically witness neighborhood storytelling unfolding across the street. Color Wheel Customization. Which will most likely appear in Project. The Upgraded, High-Fidelity Aesthetic of The Sims 4 Stylized Longevity over Photorealism: The Sims 4’s art direction ages gracefully and avoids the "uncanny valley" and heavy hardware requirements of photorealistic competitors. Modernized Visual Assets: Take that expressive, stylized art direction and radically upgrade it. We want to see significantly higher polygon counts on character meshes, advanced modern lighting, and high-resolution, Physically Based Rendering (PBR) textures. Visual Atmosphere: Imagine the dusty, heat-warped air and crisp night skyboxes of a modern Strangetown, or the high-fidelity, contrasting Tudor and Renaissance architecture dividing Veronaville. Take the Rich Details of TS4 Neighborhoods for a Sims 2 Neighborhood Makeover The Innovation of The Sims 4 Engine Advanced Multi-Tasking: Keep and refine the social routing engine that allows Sims to naturally hold conversations, drink coffee, and watch TV simultaneously. Group Dynamic Architecture: Ensure group activities—like family dinners or club outings—function flawlessly, keeping Sims naturally engaged in a shared space.\\ Difficulty Levels--Things are normal, until you crank up the difficulty. Manage those motives or die. Careers are highly competitive at high difficulty levels Rivals in all things, sibling rivalry, friendship, love, status Brutal Karma for selfish sims 5. The Brutal Survival Game that was the Original The Sims Conclusion: "Leverage the Best of What You Have Created" Maxis does not need to reinvent the wheel or chase mobile-first trends to win the next generation of life simulation. You already have the perfect game broken up across four different generations. By taking the gameplay depth and lore of TS2, the open worlds of TS3, and the expressive art style and multi-tasking of TS4, Project X would not just be a defensive wall against new competitors—it would be a definitive love letter to the franchise's legacy and a guaranteed critical and financial triumph.Console vs handheld
Can some please explain why the console sims games i can start a family and play it like a life simulator, what its supposed to be, but on every version on handheld whether it be gba or psp, its some dumb episodic side quest stuff? Like is it really so hard for a mobile sims game to be oh I don't know the actual sims?
For “The Next Evolution of The Sims” Aka Project X or Sims 5
So I was reading EA basically confirming the rumors in PR speak about what is likely Project X. I would like to make a few suggestions for the upcoming project. Presuming it will be a Sims 4 replacement (which is still undetermined) I have my wishes, which I made into a magnum opus post about a year or so ago. I'll give the abridged list. Here are my prioritized wish list Base Game Open World - I'm perfectly aware what you think about Open World EA. You just happen to be wrong. Should be big enough to add lots when new packs come out Lots can be moved and will snap to road if adjacent Lots can snap to each other Ex: Large Lot with a Mansion and smaller Lot to add a Hedge Maze Open Water for Swimming & Boating - Sims 4 was dumb to not making swimming available in Outdoor Living, Boating too. Just be smart from the get go. Specificity in Community Lot Window Lot & Sub Lot Categories - I don't want something to just say "Bar" I would like the Bar Type to be in the Drop Down Description. I'd also like a small variation in the Lot Thumbnail similar to Sims 3 Bar Billards Bar Dive Bar Jazz Bar Karaoke Bar Nightclub Piano Lounge Pub Ice Bar Tiki Bar Vampire Lounge Community Lot Information Window Business Name Address Lot Size Lot Value Hours of Operation Ownership Lot Traits & Challenges Dress Code Athletic Wear - Sub-categories include swimwear Business Wear Casual Formal Mourning Wedding Color Wheel & Create A Pattern - Sims 3 level of Customization for objects EX: Bed Customizable Sections Bed Curtain (If Applicable) Bed Frame Pillows Sheets Bedspread Bed Skirt Seasons Basics Similar to Sims 2 - planned Climates/Seasons per world This will greatly enhance the ambiance of the various worlds Temperature - That effects Sims AND Pets Temperature Display Range of Comfort Ailments & Illness Due to Weather Alleriges Freezing Heat Exhaustion Heat Stroke Hit By Hail Struck by Lightning Basic Weather - with new weather types introduced in subsequent pack as it pertains to the pack. Base Game Weather Hot Summer Nighttime - Heat Lightning Overcast Rain Hail Shower Thunderstorms Snow Average Blizzards Wind Storm Weather in EPs Acid Rain Desert - Sandstorm Dust Devil Fog in Creepy Worlds & Seaports Light Pea Soup Monsoon Smog Thunder-snow 🌙 Moon Cycle - Of minor importance in the Base Game, but if its in Base Game early on, there can be all kinds of fun, quirky things added that the moon can effect over time. The Cycle Itself Players can set the Lunar Cycle Eclipses Solar Eclipses - Sims watching with the special glasses Lunar Eclipses Full Moon Ghosts appear in larger numbers Mermaids must return to the water Old wives tales speak of interesting behavior by the mad during a full moon Special Treasures and Secret Places become Visible Werewolves uncontrollably change Zombies appear in force on Full Moons New Moon Ambient Light during a New Moon being lower than any other phase Burglars choosing the New Moon for break ins over Full Moons Fairies are at their lowest power-wise Several Occults and magic in general are effected by the moon phases Moon Bathing CAS Body Details Beauty Marks Body Hair Freckles Scars Tattoos & Piercings - I'm actually ok with them being in their own Game Pack. Tattoo Parlor Community Lot Tattoo Artist Career Tattoo Station Greater Customization & Body Placement Larger Amount of Designs Hair - Similar to Sims 3 broken down by section for color customization. Please don't be stupid here just bring back color wheel. Root Shaft End Eye Color Customizable Heterochromia - Just put it in Base Game you know you'll get asked for it like a zillion times especially after Pets come out. Finger Nails & Toe Nails 5-10 Basic Colors & Shapes and French Manicure are fine in BG with new and more interesting designs and colors in later packs Colors sets per outfit Day Spa Community Lot Game Pack Adds Day Spa & Yoga Studio Community Lots Yoga can be done at a Day Spa but the additional lot type adds flexibility for the player. Adds Relaxing Lot Traits New Age Radio Station All the expected Spa Experiences Back Facials Body Wraps and Vichy Showers Ear Cleaning - Very Popular in the East Facials Feet Washing Guided Meditation Hair Washing Mani/Pedis Massages Aroma Therapy Choice Lavender Mint & Rosemary Neroli Rose Sandalwood Vanilla Ylang Ylang Types Foot Full Body Hand Head Massage Styles (Choice of Aroma Therepay) Acupressure Deep Tissue Hot Stone Sports Massage Swedish Sauna & Hot Tub Spa Baths Lavender Milk, Honey & Oatmeal Oatmeal - Alleviates Poison Ivy Rose Petal Volcanic Mud Bath Wraps Seaweed Vocal Accenting & Walking Pace Make Up & Jewelry & Accessories - Set Per Outfit Hats Ascot Cap Balaclava Baseball Cap Beanie Beret Boater Boble Bonnet Boonie Bowler Bucket Campaign Cartwheel Chef's Toque Chupalla Cloche Conical Cowboy Hat Custodian Deerstalker Do-Rag Fascinators Fedora Fisherman's Cap Flat Cap Fez Hard Hat Homburg Newsboy Panama Phrygian Pillbox Pith Helmets Pork Pie Sailor Safari Sombrero Straw Tam O'Shanter Taqiyah Top Hat Trapper Hat Trilby Turban Turban for Ladies/Sleeping Umbrella Ushanka Visor Witch Hat Yarmulke Zucchetto Jewelry Categories Anklets Arm Bands Bracelets & Cuffs Earrings Necklaces Piercings Belly Button Ears Facial Nose Rings Rings set per finger Toe Rings Watches - Yes they need to be separate from bracelets Makeup Categories Base Blush Contour & Highlight Eyebrow Eyeliner Full Face Lipstick & Lip Liner Mascara/Lashes Full Face Makeup Ex: Clown Geisha Military Camouflage Mime ☔Rain Gear & Cold Weather Gear are SEPARATE CLOTHING CATEGORIES!!! 2 to 3 Planned Looks for Each Category Sims & Pets Costume Tab - Planned Costumes for Parties 2 to 3 Planned Looks Sims of all ages & Pets Traits & Preferences Diet should be separate from all traits Lactose Intolerance Omnivore Pescatarian Vegan Vegetarian Basic Preferences - I really liked the variety of Sims 4 Preferences like design styles for Clothing & Decor. Here is a list of basics for BG. More can be added later Book Genres Color Favorite - Pick 2 Favorite Beverage - Pick 2 Favorite Food - Pick 3 Gem Stone Favorite Music Types TV & Movie Genres Weather Type Professional Titles Attorney - esq. Culinary - Chef Doctor - Dr. Judge - The Honorable or Judge Military - Ranks Police - Ranks Teacher - Prof. Family Relationships Mother, Step-Mother Father, Step-Father Siblings & Step-Sibling Grandparents Aunts, Uncles Cousins Romantic Relationships - Please give ALL the accepted terms for Romantic Partner and let the player make their own choices. If you want to be "inclusive" this is what it looks like. Wife, Husband Spouse Partner Boyfriend, Girlfriend Fiancé, Fiancée BG Skills Athletic/Body/Fitness Swimming - 5 level mini skill that improves Athletic Skill simultaneously Scuba Diving & Snorkeling improves Swimming Skill Simultaneously Almost any physical activity should improve this skill including Dancing Baking - An absolute must in the Base Game. It’s a pain in Sims 4 to find particular recipes between this and Cooking/Gourmet Recipes Charisma Cleaning - Hidden Skill Cooking - No Additional Gourmet Category just set the recipes according to an established level of skill. Some recipes are more difficult that others that is just common sense Computer Programming Dance I think this is a form of exercise that should improve Athletics simultaneously I’d pick two Dance Styles and add new ones in later packs so that we have variety Viennese Waltz should be in BG Dances in EPs & GPs Argentinian Tango Ballet Electric Slide Hula Salsa Smustle Tap Driving - Mini Skill Fishing - All Styles Crabbing Deep Sea Fishing Ice Fishing Spear Fishing Floral Arranging - If you put some basic Floral Arranging Items in the Base you can really blow it up later with different styles from all over the world. Gardening & Horticulture All Planting and Harvesting Improves this I would use cross breeding & grafting to get new varieties of fruits, veggies and flowers. Personally I'd use this to teach about its used. "A little entertain and inform" Handiness Electrical, Appliance Repair and Plumbing are apart of handiness as is traditional Tuning Instruments should improve Handiness Bring Back Upgrades Automotive Maintenance should be a separate but related skill Woodworking should be separate but related skill. This should be in another pack though Logic Many sources improves this skill Musical Skills Harp - Not BG Guitar Piano Pipe Organ - Not BG Violin Painting Main Skill in Painter Career Writing Main Skill for Education, Journalism & The Writer Career EP & GP Skills Alchemy Archaeology Skill for the Career Automotive Maintenance Ceramics & Pottery Making Divination/Fortune Teller Skills Aura Reading Channeling/Medium Crystal Ball Divination Horoscope Writing Palmistry Tarot Card Reading Tasseography Glass Blowing & Glass Work Glass Blowing Figurines Jewelry Vases Stained Glass Herbalism Natural Remedies derived from plants Knitting & Macrame Martial Arts Archery Fencing Karate Nectar Making Occult Power Skills Aliens Fairies Ghosts Mermaid Vampire Werewolf Witches Perfume & Soap Making Pet Tricks & Skills Pet Jobs need to make a comeback Research & Debate Scuba Diving & Snorkeling Sculpture Making Sewing & Clothing Design Skateboarding, Skiing & Snowboarding Surfing Waxwork for Candle Making and other Wax items Weaving Wellness Juicing Meditation Self-Care Tai Chi Yoga - Doing yoga also improves Athletic/Body Skill. Avoidable Annoyances to spare us by putting them in the Base Game Automobile/Vehicle Ownership Set whose vehicle (Car, Motorcycle) is whose Setting Bed Ownership Sleeping Positions, who sleeps on the left, who sleeps on the right Includes Pet Beds Bed Quality You can use any frame you like for beds & and you pay to upgrade the mattress Community Lot Window (As Seen Above) Lot Type -

For use in Jewelry Making. Here is a list of Gems & Semi-Precious Stones I'd like to see, but not necessarily in BG can be introduced in new zones based upon where the stones are typically found. EX: Alexandrite Amethyst Aquamarine Blood Stone Citrine Diamonds Blue Diamond Chocolate Diamond Pink Diamonds Emeralds Garnets Jade Lapis Lazuli Malachite Moonstone Morganite Onyx Opals Black Fire Peridot Rose Quartz Rubies Sapphires (Blue Ceylon) Pink Sapphire (The hot pink colored) Smoky Quartz Sunstone Tigers Eye Topaz London Blue Swiss Blue Tourmaline Watermelon Turquoise Build/Buy Must Haves in the Game Build Attics Basements Bay Windows with Seat Closets Easier to put them into Base Game and incorporate them into house builds then try to add them to existing builds later.

New Breeds coming in Updates and later packs especially if the breeds are from the general area a new world introduces. Cats & Dogs should have clothing categories of their own Rain Gear Cold Weather Collars Should have a Lot of Fun Designs how about doing a collaboration with Foggy Dog Costumes Swimming & Boating Gear Work Uniforms Dogs should come in 5 breed sizes Xtra Small - Chihuahuas & Yorkies Small - Cavaliers, Mini Schnauzers Medium - Standard Schnauzers Large - Labradors, German Shepherds X-tra Large - Great Danes Temperature should effect pets in interesting ways Cats & Dogs loving the Fireplace when its burning Snow being enjoyable to some pets and others are like, nope Pet jobs should make a come back Acting Farm & Ranch Military Police Search & Rescue Therapy Veterinarian should be a Medical Career Sims 4 had as a skill and that was dumb Community Lots we should have Associated with Pets Cat Cafe Dog Park Grooming Spa Pet Cemetery Pet Store Vet Clinic NPC Animals Types Birds - with exception to Pet birds would be fine if they were confined Bird Baths Feeders The Sky as an animation Chipmunks & Squirrels - Its fine if they are similar to Sims 3 Deer Dolphin Fox Owls Rabbits Sea Rays Sea Turtles Skunk Wolves Special Notes Please make them move, sound and act just like their real life counterparts. Please don't make them Dog or Cat clones. They shouldn't totally have to be tied to an object They should reside where it would be realistic and beneficial to have them Occults - Need to be thoroughly fleshed out. Powers and abilities being a learned tiered things was genius Vampires - Sims 4 was just about perfect in terms of powers, weaknesses, and look. Here is the only suggestions I would make. Keep the all the Sims 4 Powers and most especially Speed Strength Bat Form Mist Form Vampires should abhor Silver. Wearing silver should make them smoke the same as sunlight. Cannot enter unless invited Evil Vampires should wilt flowers in passing and scare animals. According to lore hunters used to use pure white horses to find their graves. How about an aversion to white horses and unicorns. Eclipsing Fog from Sims 3 should be a Vampire Power The two different styles of teeth was perfect. Nosferatu Fangs vs normal fangs Vampire should have a boost in learning Alchemy like in Sims 3 Evil Vampires should respond to the Question of where did you go to University with Scholomance, which is where Dracula is said to have been taught Keep the garlic, the wreaths and garlands, the scent and the Vampire Aversion Consider adding Bat Houses with bat animations at dawn and dusks with Bat SFX Always have Graveyards & Cemetery Lots (there is a subtle difference between the two) Tomb Rabbit Hole Once in a while a Sims 3 World Adventures style tomb to discover Spell Casters /Witches I’d make the spells/powers more exciting Spell Classes - Were a great idea just need more classes Add Enchanting & Divination Enchanting & Cursing Objects Enchanting adds benevolent spells Cursing add malevolent spells "Bad Luck" - Cursed Item cause things to break in the house "Lord of the Flies" - Causes a Fly infestation which has the potential to cause a Fly Swarm death "Haunted Host" - Cursed Item draws a poltergeist to the lot Familiars should have had more going on with them. You couldn’t even talk to them or interact in a meaningful way. I think Alignments from Sims 2 should return along with spells and familiars exclusive to each Alignment. There can be other familiars bonded with (like family Pet’s) however the three listed are exclusive Owls - Neutral Ravens - Evil Phoenix - Good Dueling should not be exclusive to Witches, it should take place between all magic users. Sims 3 had the best Magic Store. I’m bored of kiosks. I think not only would it be cool to have a separate Alchemy Skill to make potions, I also think crafting and Enchanting our own wands would be more fun. I’d bring back the Fortune Teller Career back with any witch pack Caravan Caravan Radio Channel Fortune Teller Services Astrology Aura Reading Crystal Ball Divination Gris-Gris Bags & Charms Against Occults Love Potion #9 Medium Skill Palmistry Tarot Reading Tasseography Werewolves I'd give a bit more flexibility to designing the Ears & Snout. Perhaps with allowing a bit more length to them Like Vampires Werewolves have an aversion to Silver Hotels Community Lot Type & Booking Window and a very basic Front Desk & Hotel Door and Concierge NPC should be added to Base Game. This is so that at least very basic hotels can be added to any vacation style world. All the perks of running a hotel should be in the game pack Maid Service Custom Room Service Menu & Room Service Delivery Themed, beautiful Front Desks Various kinds of Rooms, Suites and Villas Hotel Rating System Uniform Setting Hiring/Firing Amenities & Multi Function Capability Locking Hotel Doors Elevators Tropical Vacations & other Beaches Activities Beach Bonfires Beach Clean Up Beach Combing & Metal Detecting Sea Glass Sea Shells Boating House Boats Kayaks & Canoes Sail Boats Fire Knife & Hula Dancing Fishing Crabs & Lobsters Deep Sea Oysters & Clams Spear Fishing Harvestables (Tropical) Bananas Coconuts Mangoes Papayas Pineapples Hiking to Volcanos Hot Coal Walk Protecting Sea Turtles was a grand Idea Sandcastles for Children, Sand Sculptures for Adults Sunbathing Tanning & Sunburns Surfing & Windsurfing Scuba Diving & Snorkeling Diving for Pearls Spear Fishing Treasure Diving Underwater Archeology Swimming with Dolphins Sea Rays Sharks 🎄Holiday Game/Stuff Packs Should not be the end all be all of when we get Holiday Items. Update! All Xmas Trees should be trimmable Different themed looks New looks come free around Xmas time. Present Wrapping should match Color Schemes Blue, Silver Gold, Silver Red, Black, Gold Red, Green Styles Flocked Sage Green, Rose, White Goth Rustic Buffalo Check Plaid, Brown Paper Lights Warm Clear Lights Green Multi Red Mantles should be able to support Stockings Holiday Lights would be grand to get new color combinations for different holidays All One Color Baby Blue Baby Pink Blue Clear (Cool) Clear (Warm) Green Hot Pink Lavender Orange Purple Red Yellow Two Color Combos Baby Blue & Clear (Warm) Baby Pink & Clear (Warm) Blue & Clear (Warm) Green & Clear (Warm) Hot Pink & Clear (Warm) Orange & Purple Orange & Yellow Purple & Green Red & Clear (Warm) Red & Green Three Color Baby Blue, Blue, Clear (Warm) Baby Blue, Baby Pink, Clear (Warm) Baby Pink, Red, Clear (Warm) Blue, Clear (Warm), Green Clear (Warm), Green, Red Green, Purple, Yellow Red, Clear (Warm), Blue Red, Orange, Yellow Red, Purple, Blue Rainbow Holiday Lights should come in Sims 4 Styles Chaser Lights Icicle Large Bulbs 🎶 Music Channels - Radio Stations should be easy to define and understandable for all ages of Simmers especially for Machina Players 20's - Distinctive Old Sounding Jazz 40's - Standards Alternative Rock Amusement Park Blues Bluegrass Children's Radio Classical Country Disco Folk Music from Destinations - Works well for restaurants too Chinese Folk Egyptian/ Middle Eastern Fortune Teller/ Romanian Folk French German Bierhaus/Polka Greek Italian Funk Hip Hop Island Jazz Latin Metal Nature Sounds New Age Punk Rock Reggae Rockabilly Spooky Holiday - For Simlish versions of Halloween Songs Spooky Sound Track - Atmospheric Music for Spooky Places all Instrumental Talk Radio Techno/Electronica Winter Holiday - For Simlish Christmas Carols Zydeco
