Things I would like to see in TS4

I want a mod that exactly tell me how old ( in years, if possible even months and days) my sim is, instead of saying... 81 days left, then you turn Adult... (young adult with 81 days left before turning Adult is about a 24 years old person btw, according to my calculations).

I just want the game to tell me i'm 24 years old and not 81 days left of Young Adult.

In real life we have:

Newborns: 0 days-28 days old
Toddlers: 28 days- 1 year old
Childs: 1-2 years old
Still child: 2-6 years old
Again still child: 6-9 years old
Puberty and Teens: 10-22 years old
Young Adult: 22-39 years old
Adult: 40-59 years old
Elder: 60-75
Very Elder: 75-90
Legendary Elder: 91+

So...

Considering the long life span of 364+ days that is 4 times the normal life span of 91 days and considering 1 day in game = 1 year for our sims with normal life spans so they live at least 91 years (not too far off from the average life span of 72.6 years old worldwide in real life).

I thought: ok, i chose long life span, so 4 days in game = 1 year for the sims.

In game we have with long life spans:

Newborns: 0-12 days
Toddlers: 32 days
Child: 56 days
Teeen: 56 days
Young Adult: 94 days
Adult: 94 days
Elder: 40+ days


So to understand how long for our sims a day is ( in a certain life stage)...well, it depends on how long that life stage is in real life.

So...

Doing the maths:

Newborns: 12 in game days/28 real life days means... 1 in game day as Newborn= 0.42857143 real days

Toddlers: 32 in game days / about 11 in real life months means... 2.90909091 in game days = 1 life month for a Toddler, so 1 in game day = 10.31249999677734 real days

Child: 56 in game days / 8 real life years means 7 day in game as Child = 1 real year as Child, so 1 in game days = 54.14285714285714 real days

Teen: 56 in game days / 12 real life years means 4.666666666666667 in game days = 1 real year as Teen, so 1 in game day = 78.21428571428571 real days

Young Adult: 94 in game days / 17 real life years = 5.52941176 in game days = 1 real year for Young Adults, so 1 in game day = 66.01063835405161

Adults: 94 in game days / 19 real life years = 4.94736842 in game days = 1 real year for Adult Sims

Elder goes from 60 to 91+ so 31+ real life years so...

Elder: 40+ in game days so... at least 40 in game days / 31 real life years means 1.29032258 in game days = 1 year for him ( if the elder lives 40 in game days).


So... how old is a Young Adult with 81 days left before turning Adult (with long life span selected)?

He completed newborn so: 12x0.42857143 days

plus

He completed Toddler: 32 x 10.31249999677734 days

plus

He completed Child: 56 x 54.14285714285714 days

plus

He Completed Teen: 56 x 78.21428571428571 days

He entered Young Adult: (you enter with 94 days left, he got 81 days left so 13 in game days passed.

So as Young Adult 13 x 66.01063835405161 days passed.

So he is 12x0.42857143 + 32 x 10.31249999677734 + 56 x 54.14285714285714 + 56 x 78.21428571428571 + 13 x 66.01063835405161 DAYS OLD.... (about 24 years).

At the moment what i want more is the ability to edit neighbourhoods. Not the landscape, as i think that won't happen, but at least to be able to add some bb.

For example, in a neighbourhood where my sims are dedicated to the arts, i would like to add some easels in the park... small things like that.

I know there's a mod for that (Tool) but Im afraid of using it ? I've used some big mods before and they make my game lag and get bigger loading screens... i don't know if that's the case with this mod but im always delaying trying it cause i think this mod is a big one...

Ok, so i've tried tool mod and im sooooo happy :) it's super easy to work with and it solved my problem. My sims now have a neighbourhood with much more to do without loading screens!

I need to try that, but I keep putting it off. :blush:

Do it! It's super easy to use. I was putting it off too and i regret not doing it before.

I'd really enjoy either a mod or an update that allows us to layer accessories. It's really frustrating having to recategorize items just because I can only choose one per category. I know there was a mod to do that for TS3, but no luck for TS4 yet.

I want to see a farming expansion pack. Also a futuristic world would be really cool!

I want a music pack with drums, saxophones, and the ability to form music groups from punk trios to classical orchestras! And I want my Sims to put on an opera!

I would love wall mounted microwaves! Every house I've lived in has had the microwave above the stove, so it would be more realistic to have that option!
Matching furniture and decor would be fantastic, as well! I.e. Matching love seats, couches, and chairs; railings, gates, and fences; half wall trims that match wall trims or floors, ect.
The option to switch which side the shower head and faucet in tubs/showers would be great, too!

Ohhh these are all great "wants"! I like quite a few of them and would be really happy to have them implemented!

The ability to edit the neighborhood - YES! For sure, I don't mean terraforming or anything, but I'd love to remove some of the gawdy stuff that's in some of them or move trees that are in the way of my view.

Mounted microwaves is a fantastic idea too! I too have always wanted one of those and wondered why that has never been an option, I would also love to have wall mounted ovens and counter top stovetops, or even stoves without a backsplash so they would fit seamlessly into a kitchen island, also I feel like backsplashes on counters should be an option you turn on or off, there isn't a backsplash if it's not against the wall so why can't it be an option? And another want is floating countertops that have no counter underneath.

I would also love sleeker, less thick and chunky framed doors and windows. We got some with EL but only from the inside, the outside sticks out retardedly.
