Build Mode Ideas
Sims 4 has a pretty cool build mode but regardless of that I find there's a bit of a lack of innovation. As in, there isn't really anything new and instead some features that we had before have been taken away (-cough- multiple foundation levels -cough-). I would really love to see these things added in to build mode and then us builders can really get creative with our sims lots.
-U and L shaped stairs. I know this has been mentioned a million times and now I'm mentioning it for the million and one(th?) time. Please! Imagine the creativity in houses if we could make L or U shaped stairs! Now I know you can sort of use the foundation trick but I'd prefer to not have to do that. Maybe a new foundation block for use of stairs only that are able to be used more than once so we can get creative with our shapes. We have this too now.
- Changing ceiling tiles. No matter if we're not staring at the ceiling at all times, we could do it before so why not again?
- Ceiling decor. Like arches, beams, tray ceiling style, vaulted ceilings. Ever had a fence on the top floor because you've made an open living room only to see that there's just this odd thin space and you so wish there was ceiling deco to cover underneath that fence? Yeah same.
- Different foundation heights. Instead of one height for the entire lot. I assume we'd need to go back to the foundation placement tool, I'm cool with that alongside the foundation height slider. Rooms would come with no foundation but can be placed on top of one. We have this now but you can't really connect the rooms if they're of different foundation levels.
- More everything. More walls/floors, more plants, more roof tiles, more windows, more doors, more colours for those windows and doors, just more everything, there's not enough.
- Attics. Able to be have an attic room with a sloped ceiling.
- Octagonal Roofs. I forgot this one but how can we build octagonal rooms but have no octagonal roofs? We have this now yay
- Rounded walls. We can build round rooms that can use a round fence but not a round wall.
Maybe a builders pack would be good, since these stuff packs are meant to be replacing the store now. I wouldn't mind that.
