what changes CAN be made to make TS4 a game you would like to play for a "base game"
CASBody hair category More trait slots Turn ons/offs Favorites and Astrological signs Way to set relationship as Boy/Girlfirend or fiancee Piercings Scroll bar for traits Option to assign initial skill levels for sims Scroll Bar (or a Wider Display) for swatches. (They tend to get cut off if the asset is the last on the list)
BUILD/BUYBasements Vehicles (with animations) More color option (especially ones that match) Increased floor limit Chests for storage of collectibles (fossils, slides, crystals, flowers...) Tilt control, for TS4 camera Less picky lot requirements
WORLD MAPTown Editor (especially way to add lots) Lots bigger than 50x50 Larger neighborhoods (more than 5 lots) More venue types (grocery stores, movie theaters, restaurants, clothing stores, hospital, cemetery, arcade, coffee shops, town hall) Things that make going to the library/Gym better than simply building one on home lot Option to rename the worlds/workplaces/schools
LIVE MODEFamily Tree (and increased recognition of relationships: in-laws, first and second cousins) Way to lock doors (room assignment) Way to paint custom pictures (TS2 style) Way to paint posed portraits, and still lifes Alert for multiple births (for better naming) Urns/Graves and ghosts for sims that die off-lot Service Sims (firefighters/police/burglar/newsie/nanny) Reactions to events (cheating/death/divorce) Better tuning for time-consuming multitasking (like eating and talking) Allow babies to be removed from bassinets Option to change last name after marriage Option to change babies' clothes More interactions with babies (like bathing them) NPC's generated for bartenders, maids, and mailmen. (explicitly shown in townie listing for editing) Game consoles Carpools & buses Way to influence other sims (TS2 style)
OTHERFully adjustable lifespans Toddler lifestage Pre-teen lifestage Story Progression Remove load screens between lots (if possible) Increase population cap Increase 20 sim load limit Create-a-world (if possible) Recolor tool (even if external program) Less linear, more sandbox More mature sense of humor (no more poop jokes) Control of non-user initiated romantic relationships (too much cheating occuring)
Left the ones I liked. Love these, but feel that some will be added in EPs/gamepacks and not as free add ons in a base. I know some were free in some basegames, but we received the punching bag in replacement of something else. Not meaning that it was alright to leave everything out that they did, just that it is a diff basegame. So, I still would love at some point to see:
Dishwashers, trash compactors, landline phones, slides and diving boards for pools, Hot Tubs, Cooktops, Built-In-Microwave Ranges, Wall Ovens
Illness (TS2 style), Way to add tattoos outside of CAS,
One can go in and delete households not playable so I left out the townie parts as you can just go in and delete them anytime.
Cheating: Maybe a faithful trait could help with this and any sim with a marriage or boy/girl friend relationship with this trait won't accept romantic interactions from other sims and it will equal a negative instead.
Train thing/tram: It would be nice to have real trains & trams with stops.
Go to work button: Already have this; it is the icon in the work section; just click it and auto ques a sim to go to work.
Love how you request the gallery cc to be an option turned on by those who want it and to be off for everyone else and not be forced on simmers like with S3 exchange where game-breaking bad cc was put in our games right off the official game site.
My wants not listed:
Didn't see bed assign or locked gates for fences.
Faithful trait.
Adoption building at some point would be neat.
Home parties sometimes list drink criteria, but poor or non-drinking sims won't have bars, so I feel having serve drinks should be left off for home parties as a requirement.
Come here needs to work for all sims, even those going somewhere. Goodbye and ask to leave should be on the front interactions always and ask to leave shouldn't be negative.
mixers,
curly hair, curly hair and cute hairs for kids and toddlers like seen in S3 cc,
instant connection feeling interaction that gives a huge boost in relations when a sim feels he/she has found the one.
sliders for like and romance columns & turn off button for locked content.- Some like to wait forever and some want sandbox. If I have a storyline, then I don't want to put it on hold to max up or do things to get content. Could add pulldown menu in gameplay for likes romances and be allowed to adjust as wish.
Personality point system (TS2 style) What is this? Never heard of it.
