In Sims 3 Generations, treehouses were added, which gave our kid sims the ability to do interactions while in the treehouse, such as pranks, sleeping in them, & restrict what gender was allowed inside. However, the down side of the treehouses in Sims 3 was that they were rabbit holes. Ideas & Suggestions for Treehouses if they make a return in Sims 4: Allow our sims to be have the option of building the treehouse themselves and increase their handiness skill. As I think about it, it'd be cool if we could buy the building station in buy mode like we can for rockets (that we build). An interaction for kids asking for treehouse and once bought, asking the guardians to continue building it. With that in mind, maybe a whim for children desiring a treehouse! An animation of the kids stumbling up the ladder or falling a couple steps upward and having a sad or uncomfortable moodlet that says something along the lines of, "Sad/Uncomfortable +3 Hurt (From falling down the ladder) They had an accident while climbing up the treehouse and scraped their knee 3 hours". Also, the possibility of getting splinters with the same kind of moodlet. While in the treehouse, the child gets a positive moodlet. (i.e. "Happy +3 (From being in treehouse) Yippee! Your sim is enjoying the treehouse and having the time of their life! 2 Hours") Also, there could be a tire swing on a branch. Allow sims to determine who's allowed inside the treehouse. With sibling rivalries in Parenthood, it'd be cool for siblings to disallow entry to their sibling nemesis and that sibling could have the option of breaking that rule. Also, depending on your sim's traits, they'll get special moodlets in response from being banned from entering the treehouse (i.e. for gloomy sims, they can get Very Sad moodlet while hot-headed sims can get a Very Angry moodlet and each can get specific whims, such as the sad sim wanting to cry to their parents about it and the angry sim wanting to pick a fight with their sibling). Pack name idea/theme: Outdoor Activities Stuff Pack (which could include playground items like sandboxes/swing sets since playground items lack in my opinion).What do y'all think? :)

Yes I would love for tree houses to come back also it can help with the clubs for children like a tree club house.

Amazing idea! Would go really well with the Parenthood GP and would be nice to have another activity for children and adults to do together

I like your ideas. I think it could be interesting if, when a child was in the treehouse, that there was a small chance they got an uncomfortable moodlet for "fear of heights". And the more time they spent in the treehouse their fear would go away. Like how it is with chopsticks and spicy food.

Return of Treehouses

That's an amazing idea! I don't know why that didn't come to mind as an acrophobic lol.

Yup so they can have any kid join since its a kids only thing and they can decide whose in or out of the club have a secret knock and a password to come in the treehouse have a secret handshake and even have rival clubs.

Perhaps different themes for the treehouses? Like a castle or a pirate theme. Or maybe an action to paint the treehouse a different color. I think that could add a lot and could be cool for clubs and such.

Yes I'd welcome them back. More places for children to play together and adults to woohoo is always welcome. :D

Yes, I would love it if parents could keep building and make it even better and have both Kids and parents have rivalries with neighbours or friends/enemies, Teen Sims could build them or other Cubby/Den type things to study in, or just hang out, maybe they even want an Eco Zen Space
