SIMS 5 HOPE AND DREAMS (CAS & BUILD EDITION)

SIMS 5 CAS & BUILD EDITION

Since it’s been 6 years since the Sims 4 has started and we’re going into a new era I want to share my thoughts on what should the next big step in the sims franchise the sims 5 my opinion on certain aspect have change and development and I want to go through want I feel will be needed to make the sims 5 improve on what we had previous and why. I will be going through aspect I think will be best for base game and expansion pack, plus a few ideas for functioning. I further outline the aspect for the Sims 5 better improved experience from what is missing from the sims 4 and can be added in the future sims 5 of new ideas and concepts.

CAS:
- Story mode (in sims 4) should also have a bonus personality mode (in the sims 5) help how on how a Sims react in certain situations in gameplay by asking simply question in CAS from a scale (0-10) on how they would feel and react in a certain situation e.g. what is the likelihood of this sims cheating 0 – 10, 10 most likely and 0 not at all. You pick 5 for your sim meaning a 50/50 chance. Next question what’s the likelihood of your sim forgiving spouse cheat 0-10 you pick 7 ( they forgive but they don’t not appreciate but are not happy about it) next asking would your sim divorce spouse if cheated 0-10 you pick 9 (no depending how far I think our entire marriage is damage basing on our relationship levels and my friends and family opinions on my spouse which would be based on their relationship levels with my spouse)
- Myer Briggs test added to the personality system
- The traits options should be: MBTI (Myer Briggs Type Indicator), Emotions, social, Lifestyle
- Hobbies should be treated similar to skill that if a seem does certain activities often they gain that hobby trait e.g. (if a sim does a lot of paintings, they gain creative trait)
- Then the 2nd personality test measure your sims likes and dislike with options provided.
- There should also be an allergy option if sims are allergic to certain foods or animals’ fur.
- Aging: In CAS ages between sibling to show who is the oldest and youngest by what seasons and moon cycle they were born in. Spring is the start of the year so oldest and Winter is end of the year so youngest Then you have the moon cycle 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc, 1st being the oldest. This for when you have two teens, but one is older than the other. (e.g. the oldest teen was born 1st moon cycle of winter the 2nd oldest 2nd moon cycle of spring and youngest teen born in the 3rd moon cycle of autumn)
- More in relationship options in CAS like twins, triplets, cousins, aunts, uncles, relatives (referring to any family member beyond those diameters like your cousin’s child)
- Have surrogacy pregnancy (sims can use another sims womb to carry baby, but the baby will still have the DNA of the parents that got the surrogacy) a surrogacy option in CAS to for pregnancy like infertile, egg-donor/infertile womb, fertile
- In CAS change the size of column with a column slider
- Rabbit in CAS
- Pets don’t take up household member spaces they have their own spaces (up to 10) (so you can have 10 household members and 10 pets)
- Choose own poses in CAS gallery and in gameplay photos
- More photo options: couple pictures, group picture, couple selfies, group selfies.
- layering clothes like jackets. Make all jacket layer compatible with clothes underneath. (Similar to the hat system compatibility where have different hair replacement for the hat version)
- There should be 3 standard heights for every age group starting from teens; tall, medium, short. (e.g. short height teen, medium height teen, tall height teen, short young adult, medium young adult tall young adult etc) A short teen is the same height as a tween but with a more grown up body, a short young adult is the same height as a medium height teen but again with a more grown up body, a short adult is the same height as a short young adult their body and facial change again as they have grown up just like in sims 4.
- Asymmetrical faces
- Body detailing: section a subcategory for body detailing were you the fat deposit location area are so when using the fat and muscle sliders the fats will generate in those specific areas instead of the used as the shape on the body when making stomach bigger when you select fat deposit in the should come with a additional slider fat deposit slider were decide how big will get if your sim gains weight and where the fats will go. (i.e. give them love-handles or pop belly, no gap thigh) so when they lose weight the will also go to.
- Body detailing; in body detailing section you also get decide if they stretchmarks, Skin overlay is also int body detailing and you can decide so you can give them vitiligo

    I also want to make babies in CAS. Gone are the days that babies are objects. They need their own outfits, hairstyles (bow for girls). I want them to have genetics form their parents/grandparents like The sims 2. I want them to have their own baby toys, cribs, changing tables, walkers, bouncing chair, swings, playpens, learning to walk around furniture. I just want them to feel like they are a sim and part of the family not left upstairs in a basinet.
  • For some reason the links on this forum don't work properly. To access my Link you have right click on the link and press new tab or window.
  • Ooo those are all some great ideas.

    I definitely agree about the babies and think it might be better if they were joint with toddlers. The kid starts as a baby in a crib and by playing with it and teaching it to walk and things like that (which would start it gaining toddler skills), eventually the baby could walk around, talk, and do all of the toddler things. Maybe the baby/toddler life stage could be 1.5 weeks since it's combing the two.

    The thing i REALLY WANT is an option to build my own multi household lots (apartments, co-ops, etc). I would love some much larger lots you could buy that work as an open world format community. You could make up to, say, ten houses, each with a different family, and then they would interact like the neighbors in City Living. You would need to knock on a neighbors door to actually go into the house, but other than that it would all be open world format, no sims loading symbol! There could be a build mode tool to mark off certain areas as separate households and a tool to mark of the common space.

    The third thing I would like is more natural living stuff. Off grid options right now are pretty much the same as non off grid, so it's a kind of useless feature. Maybe this will come with a farming pack for TS4, but who knows. I want living off grid to be harder than living on the grid. I also want to be able to make food for free if I have all of the ingredients.

    I think that's it for now, although of course I could think about some more stuff to rant about!
