Base game update ideas

A fairly small but very useful thing would be an update to the various venue types:

• Less required items, more recommended items.
  
• More pack integration
  
• Go over what NPCs choose to do when there so it's appropriate
  
• Give the option to set uniforms for employees like we can with restaurants
  

At the same time they could add a few more lot traits: dress codes, who spawns and so on.

Add a ticket box and ticket counter/desk that you could add to any communal lot that would charge you for going into said establishment. Would be great for nightclubs, gyms, pools, museums/art centres...

And multipurpose lots. Please multipurpose lots.

MUSEUM work…..what a great idea!

I’d love to see a reason to use museums as others have suggested. I’m always looking for new careers.

I think a career as a museum guide would be great. I would like to see it as an active part time career ( not a rabbit hole ).where you can choose days you want to work, and which museum you want to work at that day. You could guide people to pairings, sculptures etc. and talk to the tourists about them. Maybe there could be a special object a guide interacts with to begin a tour, that lasts about 1 or 2 hours at a time, so sims could take a bathroom/food//fun break, before beginning again. ( or maybe guiding would make those things lower at a slower rate.l ).

If the museum has a easel, and if someone has a high enough painting skill they could teach painting lessons there to others, maybe as a freelance active career at a museum of your choice. There could be a special interaction with the easel at museum to teach lesson, and they could make money the same way as a person being a DJ does.

I also like someone’s idea of high schoolers being able to take a field trip at a museum, or be able to go to a museum on the weekend for a few hours to earn extra credit or as a replacement for homework.

Museums are base game too….. so what good idea others had!

I would really like to see more ideas on this one!

I'd like to see two autonomy options added so we have more options than full autonomy or none at all.
-One makes sims only seek to fulfil needs that become yellow.
-The other makes sims only seek to fulfil needs that become red.
This would solve the issues with them keep trying to spam interactions they don't need to do at all. I hate it when I have to beat three other sims away from a computer when I want another to use it.
Later on they can afford more computers for sure, but when there's only one in the house it's a big problem.

-Sims should NEVER automatically do what they dislike.
There simply is no reason for that. If a sim hates cooking, they should grab a quick meal when hungry. If they hate the music that is playing, they should change it to what they like before starting to dance to it instead of getting pissed at choosing to do something they hate. No one made them do it.
Same for seeking out to listen to another sim playing the violin in their room when they hate the violin. at most they could walk in there to ask that sim to stop playing instead of standing there hate listening to it.

-More facial hair.
It's a small thing but there's like 2537892589 make up options, yet so few facial hair options. Add something in a free update, like maybe bring back facial hair from sims 1 and 2? They have a lot of options we don't have now.

-A new trait.
Instead of pack specific traits, it could maybe be nice to see a general purpose trait be added available to everyone.
There's so few traits in the game compared to sims 3 that any additions would be welcome.
I'm pretty sure sims 3 had more traits in the base game than sims 4 has currently with all expansions.

Never is a strong word. I'd rather my sims cook something poorly than see them starve to death. Or at least try to get food from elsewhere if the fridge is empty. Like order pizza.

I’d love a museum update! As is, my sims practically never go to museums since there’s nothing to do there. All they can do is view objects, which gets kind of boring.

New microwave oven, tea brewer and coffee machine recolors/redesigns please! <3

@Chacha96 I've seen a lot of people asking for a Daycare, an it'd be really cool for babies and nanny gameplay, but they have done so much babies content without it that i doubt we'll ever see it. I really miss hiring a gardener, and an farm assistant would be great too. I can see wheelchairs being introduced as a temporary thing inside the hospital. About the rustic theme it really sounds like Outdoor Retreat which could really use a refresh.
