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?

- i want more control over seasons. I want to be able to set seasons with different lenght;
- I want more control on occults. I want to be able to switch them off for a save that i don't want to use it;

- and on the opposite side, i want less control on the sims themselves. I want them to act autonomously according to traits.

I'm with other folks who would like more control over the phone. It would be great if you could choose whether or not to exchange numbers (as you do in the romance interaction) and only those you have chosen to give your number can call you. All those ridiculous "heard you became friends..." calls are so annoying! I'd also love to just turn the phone option off completely.

I'd like to have more control over clothes. I'd love to be able to blacklist clothing items in CAS so townies can't wear them. I also love to be able to save outfits (of separates--tops/shirts/pants/skirts/shoes) not in the immediate rotation to be worn, but in a separate closet in CAS so you can toggle that closet on for each season.

I echo the folks who have said more control over inventory. It would be nice to be able to sort by different factors, including a most often used category.

I would like an option button for what relationship preference I want my sim to be.

Ahem...
I WANT WEREWOLVES BECAUSE THEY W- *plum'd*

ANYWHO-

1. Situational outfits, one million times over. Everyone's already said it and it's a no-brainer but HELLO, whatever happened to "you rule"??? Plus, it is a MAJOR bother having to jump through hoops to edit them so the clothing options used for them don't show up when you upload a sim to the gallery! They should either be fully visible and editable, simply not exist, or not be saved to the sim (i.e. sims still change into their rain outfits, costume party outfits, etc. but those outfits aren't saved along with the sim's other outfits).

2. Non-playable occupations: This will be a long one and I could probably break this into two different points but I'll cheat a lil and talk about all of them here, lol. I want more control over the business, vet and restaurant employees, including being able to hire other playable sims and household members who aren't already employed (or hiring them just gets rid of their other job). This extends to "role" sim jobs as well, I'd like to be able to choose librarians and bartenders instead of seeing Eliza Fricken Pancakes at every bar my sims go to, ever. This ESPECIALLY goes for librarians, even cheating a sim into the role is difficult and doesn't even work half of the time. I get that they have to have the bookworm and neat traits but even having those traits on a sim isn't a guarantee that giving them the job will work and it's just plain frustrating.

3. Socializing and relationships: So, Sim A and Sim B just got into a fight and are now enemies... and for some reason are sitting in Sim A's living room and having a friendly chat while Sim B is still dazed from getting their face bashed in. This makes sense how, exactly??? A little consistency is all I'm asking here... Also (again, probably could break this into two points but just lemme have this), CAS relationships are in DESPERATE need of expansion, why can't I create relationships like grandkid-grandparent, cousins, fiancées, besties, aunt/uncle-niece/nephew, etc. without first needing to create a bunch of other sims or have the sims develop the relationship in game? I think this is a major oversight and should definitely be fleshed out more to allow greater control over the relationships and stories that we, the simmers, want to create. After all, "you rule", right?

1. Turn on/off occults and ghost - I prefer realism in my game.
2. Club manager - easier way to create & manage clubs in world view, similar to the manage household menu
3. Personal Inventory categories - to better organize items

Yes!
