Out of the things that already exist in the game, which objects or aspects of the game would you like to have more control over, specifically what kind of control, and why? Please list up to 3 things that already exist in the game that you would like more control over. If you have more than 3, please wait and give a couple of other people a chance to reply, and then list 3 more. (Just because I know there are a lot of things that could be improved, and people probably have tons of suggestions.) This post isn't about new things you want added to the game; it's just for things that already exist in the game._________________EXAMPLE OF A RELEVANT ANSWER:I want more control of occults. Specifically, I'd like to be able to toggle the different occults on and off for each save. Why? Because I want to play occults in some saves, and I don't want to play them in other saves; it can be annoying to have a vampire pop up in a world where vampires don't exist.EXAMPLE OF A REPLY THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE QUESTION:I want werewolves because they would totally fit into my occult world!(While this is a valid request, werewolves don't currently exist in the game, so you can't have more control of something that's not there.)

1. Situational outfits. I want to toggle them off.2. I want more control of the hallways in apartment buildings - being able to edit them at least a little bit (they're an eyesore).3. The relationship panel - I want to be able to delete relationships from a sim's relationship panel, as the panel is full of townie spam I hate to sift through

1. the camera in build mode. At the moment it reacts to terrain "under" it, which could be buildings around or random ghost terrain, who knows. I'd love if it ignored those entirely & stayed at the height I need it at. 2. situational outfits. they're pointless outside of specifically themed events. Everyday outfits should be prioritized in any other location unless cold/hot weather outfits are required. 3. vet clinic employees. there are too many times when the employee vet is set to treat patients and clean but they wander off and sleep or talk to plants or whatever. I'd want them to have a priorities list that includes crafting treats too so I can set them to primarily treat patients, then clean if no patients, then craft treats if everything's clean.

Base game (and any DLC) autonomy control priorities.They are a mess and silly things or things that do not help get more priority than things that make sense for a sim. i mean if a sim is very tired and there is a coffee maker in the house, the last thing they'd need is a caffine boost, they need to sleep. but they shouldn't sleep on the couch or a bench outside the house, they should sleep on their beds. it is the same for anything else.I'd very much like a list of all the priorities found in the autonomy controls and retask them according to proper priority rather than on default.2. More control over your sims outfits, preferably when you create your sim in CAS you have the ability to switch between outfits on that sim and create your own control over that random aspect which is often done by the game on default which can either look okay to really ugly.3. the ability to assign a limited number of skill points to each teenage to elder sim you have in CAS. This way you start with a minor advantage that helps your sims storyline progression by giving them a minor boost. say 5 points to start off with which can be assigned into any skill available in the base game and dlc's, however each skill is capped to 3 points allowed in that skill to avoid creating a large advantage from the outset.It would be extremely helpful for those going into business where charisma is needed and that can often take time standing in fromt of a mirror with confidence moodlets or in a happy mood using charisma on other sims in conversation. it would also be useful for sims to get that cooking level to avoid burning the house down the first time out!

1. Townie outfits. I'd like the ability to create outfits in CAS that the townies would then be generated with. We could even share outfits on the gallery for people who don't like creating them.2. Makeup. I'd like to be able to copy makeup across outfits.3. Neighborhoods. Neighborhood traits like lot traits that give you more control of who shows up in what neighborhood. Only vampires, no vampires, stray pets, friendly neighborhood, mean neighborhood, etc.

Sim flirting-I find far too often that my Sims (usually my married sims) will be flirting with other sims of the same gender and often in front of their spouse. I honestly want a way to control all sim preferences so that no sims in the save will flirt with married/dating sims or other sims of the same gender. Personally I don't see that happening, but at the very least I want to control the flirting/gender options for my own played sims.Stray animals-I want a way to control the stray animals in Brindleton Bay, specifically turning them off completely. I absolutely cannot stand to have my sims live there because the stray animals are disgusting and they're everywhere.Occult stuff-I want a way to permanently block occult things in packs that come with them. I have GTW and am blessed that I've yet to see an alien and I don't want to have that fear that one could just show up out of no where. I want a way to turn that off. Same with the mermaids in IL. I don't own the pack, and one of the major reasons why is because as far as I've heard, there's no way to turn them off.

What do you want more control over?

1 - Role sims (bartender, pianist, Sim in Black etc.)
I want to decide which townie fills which role or alternately click "create new sim for role" (like when planning parties). I also want the game to stopp creating two new Sims in Black when I already have six, thank you very much (that happened today in my Strangerville play). No more restrictions as to how many bartenders DJs and so on I can have - if I place four DJ pults, please take the hint and give me four DJs. And finally I want to be able to stopp roles from being filled at all, no matter how much the believes it "needs" them. If something doesn't function properly,so be it.

2 - Conversation topics
Sims should not be allowed to switch between categories. If I start a conversation as "Mean", they have no business choosing "Friendly" or "Romantic" on their own. Ideally they do nothing but generic chatting if I do not tell them otherwise.

3 - NPC traveling
For starters I wish for an option link neighborhoods together to give the game an idea of how far from each other I believe they are. Then the game can still send sims from different worlds, but prioritize those that are close over those that are distant. I'd also love for my game to respect prisons and hazard shelters. Sims living on lots designated as "closed" (via a lot trait) should not be chosen to walk around at all.

Toggling off occults, because I don't like them in my game, but i like some of the build/cas in packs.

The Relationship Bar. Let me set relationships at a certain variable. Some of my boyfriend/girlfriend Sims I want to just start playing with that relationship pre-existing etc. Let me set any Sim as an uncle, aunt, Step Parent, etc. And most importantly, let me create non-mutual relationships. If my Sim adores her stepdaughter but my stepdaughter hates her new stepmum, or my single Sim has a crush on the girl next door but she has no interest in him whatsoever, let me add that in. Have a variable for both the friendly and the romantic bars and when you click on the relationship panel of any Sim in the household let me set it from 0-100 as I wish (also in cas for household members)

If I have to pick just three, the first would be make up. I really want to be able to set it for the first outfit and have it copy automatically to any others.

The second would be situational outfits. It would be nice to pick certain combinations we want to see.

The third would be autonomous activities. I would like to be able to set those for each played Sim.

OMG I've been wanting that for SO LONG! I'm glad you brought it up.

1. Lot types/classifications. I hate being so constrained by the lot presets and how sims ignore objects that aren’t associated with a given lot type.

2. Situation outfits. This is a no brainer.

3. Occults. I want to be able to turn them off and/or tweak how common they are.
