Base Game improvement

For base game:

Lawn mowers

Water heaters

Wood chopping

Pool cleaning

Pool tables

My ideas for base game improvements:

1. Making all NPC roles (librarian, firefighter, principal, busker, weirdo, etc) active and/or rabbit hole careers for our sims so we have more options for making money and storytelling
2. Making all vacation worlds residential
3. Adding swimmable areas and harvestables to all worlds
4. Adding option to make travel between neighborhoods cost $ and between worlds cost $$$
5. Ability to combine lot types (residential and retail, park and museum, etc)

I'd love all of these! Unfortunately, I think they've said that 2 and 3 are impossible without breaking people's saves, so fair enough (maybe a voluntary update could be a possibility?), but number 1 and 5 definitely would be doable.

I would add, that the people you give a job are the people you then see when going someplace. So if I make Bella Goth a librarian in Willow Creek, my sim will meet her when going to the library in Willow Creek!

Another thing I'd really want is the option to have people in the household be asleep when you get home late at night. So when my teen has snuck out, the family will be in bed when she returns.

First and foremost strollers I don't know why in GRT (Growing Together) they didn't put in strollers when they know good well we can't pick up toddlers with infant in the baby carrier, they treating the Sims like pack mules they had to carry toddlers everywhere now we have Infants and they know toddlers are so slow it was shown in the Livestream so why not make strollers like they keep missing the mark it's insane.

Child Gameplay like children should ay tag, play Ms. Mary Mack, play Marco Polo in the pool, play make believe or dress up, and have more play grounds like a castle playground or even a regular play ground.

Romantic Interactions and reaction like Sims surprise proposal, Sims react to fights but they don't react to a proposal right in front of them
Walking Hand in Hand and Arm and Arm
Snuggling and Cuddling at night.
Make out needs to make a return.

More interactions between sims, kids being able to play tag/make believe/etc, couples being able to walk hand in hand. Interactions that increase relationships beyond what we already have.

I would love a CAS feature that would let player's know what custom content is in use by Sims. There's a feature like that in WWE games for CAWrestler. I don't like downloading sims with custom skin tones for instance because it's hard to tell after awhile what's not being used by the game.

If the base game could be multiplayer (ex: send a code to a friend who also has sims 4) and we could edit the same lot or story play between the two of us it would be cool.

I would love to have a ticket machine implemented (like Sims2 had), that makes any type of lot into a business.

Going forward, I'd love to see options for volunteering and community work, which could lead to skills development. Sims is a great game and it is a model for young people to follow as they go through life. If they can see that it is possible to improve your neighbourhood, and also your wellbeing, health and friendship levels through engaging with and helping others - and also helping the environment itself, I think it would be a great social message. Sims is great but it is rather focused on acquisition and personal status, and there is scope to modernise it to model a world we would like to see.
