What Gameplay Objects/Items Do You Want Added?

Hello! I couldn't find a discussion about this so forgive me if I missed it, but I wanted to ask what new gameplay-related objects would you want to see added to the Sims 4? These could be from previous titles or completely new ideas, whatever comes to mind!

I just remembered that the Sims 3 had a tablet that let sims listen to podcasts based on skills and they would automatically boost said skill while they do other things - I think this would be even more relevant now with audiobooks becoming more popular.

Another one is the changing table that we've had in the Sims 2 and 3 - I love family gameplay and would use this so often!

Smaller/normal sized telescopes - I have no clue why that hasn't been added yet...

So what are some that you want added to the game?

    I'm bored of the few video games my Sims have to use. How about a whack-a-mole or punching bag game? I mean, If I can put a bowling alley in my Sim house, why not some other carnival-style games? The game where you grab the metal sticks and try to hold on as it shocks you could be hysterical to watch! ?


    I like the concept of whack-a-mole and the punching bag game. What about a Slip N' Slide while we are at it for kids to play with?


    I think there's a pack like Backyard Stuff or something like that, that has a slip n slide. That's one pack I didn't get.
  • MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS—drums that are playable, some sort of feature where you can join/form a band and practice, rehearse, and play gigs. you could like have everybody playing instruments and then hit a sync button or something like that to where they all get on the same page and play together. You could even get deep into a storyline where everybody hates each other or one of the guys in the band is a drug addict and you can’t get them to play or practice, or your manager is stealing money from the band or other miscellaneous in-fighting within the band— jealousy over who is the main songwriter and who isn’t getting enough credit when they think they should—all that shit—the drama that being in a band could bring about would be endless. Plus it would be cool if you could somehow get them to play your own music. Having the band play tunes you make on garage band, for example, that would be awesome. You could have like your own virtual band. I think that would be amazing. What you could also do with playing concerts—I bet that would be really interesting….if you don’t practice enough you would suck, but if you practice the amount you should or over the amount you should you guys would be really tight and sound awesome— but that could make people in the band mad because you’re overworking them, etc. you could either be the leader of the band or just join around and be sort of “the bass player”…. all that stuff. Also, being able to drive cars would be awesome. I’m sure that both ideas have been mentioned a million times already but I just joined so, whatever.
  • I think it would be cool if there was another pet food dish, but styled like an old decorated bowl (i.e. one swatch could be delftware patterned, etc.), which would work better in historical/cottagecore builds. Right now there are only the contemporary plastic pet dishes and the modern ones, which don't really work in some builds.
  • What about a broom for those playing cottage living or vampires with bust the dust? Might seem odd to have a sweeper among antiques.

    More diverse community lots. I get a little tired of which bar/lounge, which museum, which fitness center etc. More family friendly lots like a water park or petting zoo or orchards or ranches. I literally never go to a park to play chess irl. My sims don't stay home a lot and the community lots being more diverse and family friendly would be amazing.
    Maybe sports teams you can watch (create sim rivalry) for the athletic career track perhaps. So yeah, better community lots would be great


    I feel the same way. We need lots like amusement parks,laundromats,convieence stores,tennis courts,cinemas,etc. ASnd we also need multi-purpose community lots so we could build whatever we want.

    I just hope EA/Maxis will start listening to us more and add these much-needed lots.
