Feedback about The Sims 4 category

by the tittle i don't mean the actual gameplay, i mean sure the game itself needs its feedbacks too (i bet everyone else do too)

i meant the feedback about this link Categorie: The Sims 4 | EA Forums

We have:
-The Sims 4 Creative corner
-The Sims 4 Feedback
-The Sims 4 General discussion

Then we have categories that's issues related:
-The Sims 4 Technical issues (Consoles, Mac & PC)
-The Sims 4 Gameplay Questions & issues
-The Sims 4 Mods & Custom Content
-The Sims 4 Bug Reports

 

but we used to had the category in which you could share your ideas about the pack you have in mind
"creative idea" or something? (can't remember the exact name)

i feel like feedback is more like if you want the game to become better either for basegame or the already existing packs

and the ideas you have in mind that don't exist yet deserves to have its own category

i know it may take ages to move probably half of the topic ideas there but i think it should be possible if we all report the topics together to place it to the category which don't exist yet

tittle for the category: "Creative ideas" or "Sims 4 ideas"
so we can share our ideas there instead (actual feedbacks and our ideas about the packs/basegame update get so mixed up, that may be confussing especially for newcomers)

with other words: The Sims > The Sims 4 > Creative ideas/Sims 4 ideas (just a thought)

we can seperate things more this way if feedbacks stays as an actual feedback that already exist in The Sims 4 either for basegame or the already existing packs...who's with me?

 

edit: maybe even better: creating a pack idea archive category similair to this one once it's out The Sims 4 Bug Reports - Archive | EA Forums  (but instead of bugs it's the pack ideas category archive)

i bet even some of the ideas about certain things are in the "General Discussion" category too that can be merged with the already existing topic (not just the Feedback ones, the pack ideas is all over the place in both Feedbacks and in the General Discussion categories...i bet changing the website have something to do with it, it got all mixed up in both the "Feedback" and the "General Discussion" categories)

so make it "create 2 new categories"

except you can call it "The Sims 4 (Pack) Ideas Archive/History" (i just came up with it)

with that idea added it should go like this: The Sims > The Sims 4 > The Sims 4 (Pack) Ideas Archive/History

we can keep things in order even better this way we can place it in the "The Sims 4 (Pack) Ideas Archive/History" or rather the team once the pack is taken care of or rather once the pack is out (i know we can't place them in that new category i have in mind but the teams can for sure...we can report it if it isn't taken care of)

with other words: 1 category based on our ideas about the packs and the other some kind of a archive pack ideas the team can place it there once the pack is taken care of

The Sims > The Sims 4 > Creative ideas/Sims 4 ideas (like the name have suggested it's based on pack or basegame ideas)

The Sims > The Sims 4 > The Sims 4 (pack) ideas Archive/History (like the tittle have said, it's pack ideas that's already out that can be in "The Sims 4 (Pack) ideas Archive/History" we used to share our ideas with)

(i hope the team consider this adding 2 more categories in The Sims 4 category)

  • i came up with the solution because i believe i saw a comment how things get so mixed up so that gave me an idea to create a post with a solution or otherwise i wouldn't have come up with that idea👍

    but i do remember having the seperate post based on our ideas but once the site has changed, it was no longer there but i like to have that seperate post back so we can share our ideas there rather than in the feedback category instead👍

    like i said: it deserves to have its own category like maybe called "The Sims 4 ideas" or "Creative ideas" (they both match perfectly if we do have ideas in mind for The Sims 4)

    i think feedback should stay as an actual feedback for basegame or the already existing packs/kits to make it even better (like maybe a refresh or small things we are missing in the already existing packs to name something of course😉😉)

    these are the reasons i decided to share my ideas about a solution in The Sims 4 category (like i shared in the link so you guys know which one i'm talking about)

    edit: i just updated the descriptions since i came up with an another idea the team can add in my opinion

  • You're not alone. I'd love to see a separate Ideas category.  I see Feedback as a way for simmers to share their thoughts and concerns about existing gameplay. 

    Ideas would be for new gameplay features we'd like to see in the game 

    Currently the Feedback forum is overrun with idea threads and the legitimate feedback is drowned out.

  • One thing I liked about the other forum is that we had an ideas category.  I used to love being able to share my ideas, and really enjoyed reading other peoples ideas too.  I would love to see that category back in these forums.

    what a coincidence i made the same topic (never mind that since it's in 1 post now)

    i now have to share my ideas in the feedback category but i would love to have the old category back you can share your ideas with the packs you want to see in The Sims 4 rather than the feedback ones

    feedback should stay as the feedback with the already existing packs and even basegame ones

    our ideas about the pack deserves to have its own category

  • Personally, I think it should be split up as New Ideas and Suggestions and  Feedback on Existing Features. I think that for:

    • New Ideas and Suggestions (work as the Feedback Forums do now with Likes) and;
    • Feedback on Existing Feature (works like the bugs with Upvotes). Feedback suggestions on how features, how gameplay works, and how current packs could be improved, etc.

    Then if your moderators, who seem happy enough to move and merge threads anyways, can really pool and show how much a tweak/change is wanted on a certain feature with similar suggestions.

    Otherwise, I feel Feedback Forum is an unattended void (which your moderators are too happy to use as a dumping ground) in which the same suggestions on existing things, and suggestions on new content  just flow continuously and get buried with very slow, if any, results.

    these are great ideas

    i'd love to add maybe we should have a category we can share our speculations about the next pack so we can share our thoughts there rather than the feedback and the general chat ones
