Mayors for individual worlds

It's not an official feature in the game, but a few expansions have introduced new worlds with a premade sim as the mayor, so in my head, almost every world has one now - usually, but not always a played sim in the politician career who somewhat represents the world itself. For example, my Willow Creek is dominated by one big family in particular, so of course someone from that family is the mayor. Oasis Springs is the place where humans first made contact with aliens (I've edited the world itself and its description to reflect this), so the mayor is an alien. The only worlds without mayors are San Myshuno, because I haven't thought of one yet, and Magnolia Promenade, which I view as a district of Newcrest.

I think it would be cool if we had a trait or something like that to appoint one of our sims as the mayor. But of course, there can only be one per world, so if you assign the trait to a new sim in a city that already has a mayor, the previous mayor loses it. What are your thoughts? Do your cities have mayors?

    I have since solved my mayoral problem by making a club for every individual mayor that they're the only member of, and now the title "Mayor of -world-" shows up above their head like a regular club membership. To make sure no other sims are randomly added to a mayor's exclusive club, I set their traits as requirements for joining, because not many other sims will have the exact same combination of traits. Not a perfect solution, especially because the mayor of Brindleton Bay is a cat that can't be added to any clubs, but other than that, it works for me.

    I noticed, and I'm not happy with it because it doesn't seem like we'll get a say in the matter of who the mayor is, and there won't be one for other worlds. But judging by the videos I've watched, the game seems to regard the neighbourhoods as individual towns, and Lavina Chopra is only the mayor of Finchwick, whereas I tend to see entire worlds as towns and the neighbourhoods as, well, neighbourhoods within a given town. So the playable mayor I had in mind can still be the mayor of Henford-on-Bagley as a whole, whereas Lavina Chopra is the most important representative of that particular district or something.


    For the moment, I think we can add the " Village Mayor" trait to a sim that we want, by using MC Command Center. Or mod the strings by using Sims 4 Studio. But I agree that modless election system is much better & I'm still hoping it will be implemented soon. And I do not think that it would be that hard, as it has the same base as the N.A.P system?

    I have a question; why is Mr. Whiskers the Mayor in San Myshuno & not Brindleton Bay? It just doesn't make sense to me.


    I can understand why he can be in other worlds, but I don't understand why he is not in Brindleton Bay.
    Maybe you can use walkbyoverhaul mods?
    I use smartpetwalkbyoverhaul by lotharihoe
    There is a mod by Zero too, but it set the stray pets to every worlds
  • I mean we already have politics as a career in game so we can have a town mayor in game with the career maybe.
