We also really need a few convenience things for CAS:
-Logo's of all packs should be displayed in CAS, maybe on the right of all the options. No clicking anything else first, I want to see all logo's straight away and be able to click on them to filter just seeing stuff from that pack in the clothing category, can always remove the category tag after that. This would make it way faster to find what you need.
-Ability to hide things in CAS.
Everything you never use could be hidden, could be a new option where you can toggle what's hidden and not, and if you want to unhide it, you could go back to that CAS option. Would also save a lot of clutter and helps speed up character creation. I'd personally hide all mascot outfits right away, who even uses that?
-More clown make up options.
Small thing but it would be nice to have a happy clown face option and also options that do not have the small bandage on the side.
-More facial hair options.
Still so few of that in the game. I'd like to see a thin French moustache added, a thicker goatee, impressive moustaches, beards with beads or such in it, a messy beard, longer beards, etc. When in doubt, just bring back facial hair options from Sims 2 and 3.
-Improve the Bandana.
It looks really horrible and since some hairstyles of the base game got an update, why not the bandana too? Give it a better shape over the hair and add many swatches and patterns to it. Or add new bandana's.
-Add sporty dark shades.
Not many sunglasses options yet and I am pretty sure both Sims 2 and 3 had more sporty black shades in the base game. I'd really like that option.
-Keep adding colour swatches to things that could use more.
I know it happens sometimes in a patch, and I am a big fan of that. I am always in favour of having a basic black and basic white option for everything. The less swatches an item has, the more I'd like to see it get more.
-More voices added.
I feel like we could use some more, maybe specific to supernaturals. Werewolves should NOT talk normal as they do in wolf form, they need a filter like aliens get, but more gruff.
-Supernaturals not repeating their animations every few seconds.
It gets very annoying that werewolves keep howling, mages keep throwing around the magic bubble and vampires keep hissing as you edit them in CAS. Many of us can spend quite some time on this after all.
-Walk styles with cane added.
Seems like a base game thing, would add a bit of inclusivity but also some possible swag. Next to a supportive walk that clearly shows a need for the cane there could also be a formal walk and a swanky walk. Could have some options for canes too here.
-Cybernetics.
We have medical wearables, why not go a little fantasy with that too with a bit of cybernetics, adding fancier versions of what's there and new options as well. Sims seem to have pretty advanced technology after all, and it would be nice to see the options in those categories expanded.
-Head tattoos.
Would be nice to get some options for that too. Like some that could work great with hairstyles shaved at the sides, or fully shaved even.
-More leg tattoos.
There's hardly any of that.
-Traits able to give starting skills where it's fitting.
Could be only for sims created new in CAS, not sims who grow up and get those traits.
Virtuoso sims could start with 2 skill points in each instrument.
Creative sims could have 2 points in painting.
Some traits could also just give 1 point in it instead, like various social skills giving a charisma point.
