    I miss the little trash bandits... Would gladly trade the stupid rainbow colored poops left lying everywhere for some late-night garbage can mischief. ?

    I have a couple of questions concerning the hot tub.

    1. I had to purchase it from the store for like $3,500. I thought it was free? Not really a big deal, just wondering since I bet others are thinking about this too.

    2. How can I get other Sims to get into the tub with me? It's lame to invite someone over, get into the tub, and they just to play with my computer.


    The hot tub was free for players to own, as in free content to add into the game. Sims have to pay for it though.
  • I have zero expectations. I would gladly pay for a 20th Anniversary pack combining the best of the Sims including Sims Medieval into one expansion pack for Sims 4. However, I don't really see this happening. Sorry for being such a downer, but If Sims 4 took Sims 3 to the next level instead of playing it a bit too safe and giving us so little in everything from stuff-expansion packs I wouldn't feel this way. Instead, it feels like they got Bob from accounting to decide on everything we get. Ignoring what we have asked for in the game since Day 1. We got toddlers but they really don't do anything nor do kids really. I want babies and tots and kids to be able to do a lot more. I want my tots to play with their older siblings. I want kids to be able to gain responsibility by helping out with tots and babies. I want kids to be able to have innocent first love options like a kiss on the cheek. hugging each other. Have a play date with a crush. Have lunch with a crush. Hang out with crush. Let them play house with each other. Play tag. Play hide and seek. Double dutch and jump rope together. Build a treehouse with other kids through to even elder sims. Go visit Grandparent/s for the weekend. Have an adventure with crush or bestie or a grandparent or parent. My dad always made it an adventure when I was a kid when I would go with him on errands. I remember how much fun that was. If there is an elder in the household be able to help them. Have more aspirations for our kids like little helper, I want to be a superhero or ninja when I get older as an aspiration. Protect friend/sibling from bullies. etc. Have slides and more fun things to do. I wouldn't complain over a new life stage if it isn't too terribly done. Just wow us for a change. We know the ability is there we played The Sims, Sims 2 and Sims 3 so we know EA you can do it.

    This is super annoying. The best I think you can hope for is click on the computer and lock it so only your sim can use it, then maybe if there's nothing else electronic at your house to do the guest might join you.

    I hate that my sims won't do anything except electronics, no matter what options I put out there for them. :/

  • For me
    Preteens
    Vechiles
    NPC Fireman Burglars and Policemen
    Nails
    Backpacks/purses
    Sick Sims going to the hospital like pets do.
    Grandma chicken noodle soup.
  • As far an new stuff is concerned in addition to all suggestions above, I would love to see customizable ways for sims to sit down on a chair/couch (would love sims sprawled out on the couch in pj's eating a pint of ice cream while watching trashy tv or sims not manspreading for the sake of maspreading.

    I also miss the pool table as well as a Metal music channel from the Sims 2 days as well as create a neighborhoods from The Sims 2.

  • Letting us go grocery shopping or to the mall!

    Adding more realistic things would be awesome!

    Also just being able to walk/drive around the neighborhood without having to reload all the time.
