Sims 4 NEEDS This Feature! (Third Person Mode)

Remember controlling your Sims/Urbz in the handheld and home console games? Pepperridge Farm remembers.
Apparently a modder does too and has made a mod for The Sims 3 that lets you go into third person mode and control your Sims directly.
Now if only we could get a modder to do this for Sims 4. Or even better Maxis to do it officially. Would go great with the first person view too for more immersion into our Sims world.

Not into it really. Feel like that would work better for the handheld system for the sims as they're pretty simplistic and have various goals and missions to be progressing further into the story. Feels weird having a feature like that for a sims game, but that's just me.

I think it’s cool they added the first person camera and having first person controls would be great.

Unfortunately the first person camera we currently have follows every bob and sway that your sim makes and it causes a lot of people to get motion sickness.

Personally I’d really appreciate a more fleshed out version with a more steady camera and some good controls.

ETA: I just noticed you said third person not first person.

When I tried the sims 3 for the first time I thought i can control the sims like I did in Sims 2 Pets console version, was dissapointed a little bit, Would love to have this in sims 4 though.

It's cool, but I think the team has a lot of other things they should be focusing their time on rather than this.

To save on development time, I would suggest just a camera from the back of the sim, but you control them the same way, or even a first person camera so you can see what they see, no need for controlling them manually even tho that would be lovely.
