whats the one thing that would make the game better for you?

Playable babies.

I want babies that aren't tied to the bassinet.

I'd love the game to stop generating new NPCs and just use the sims I have housed as relative, neighbors and friends.

A "local hangout" lot trait that would make it so that most of the sims that show up on that lot are sims that live in that world.

Now that Weddings are (almost) functional in game.

My next check point, is functional babies that actually represent the life stage. I want to be able to change their clothes (for all occasions, like all the other life stages) hair, hats, add earrings and bracelets, socks, booties, and shoes.

I want to be able to change them at a changing table, give them a bath, put them in a swing, bouncer, and jumperoo, and let them play on the floor. I want to feed them a bottle or nurse them in a chair or couch, and I want to feed them food in a high chair.

I want to see them learn to crawl from tummy time, and drink their bottles on their own while they kick at their toys that hang overhead.

I want to take them to the park, in a front carrier and I want to cuddle them in a rocking chair when they cry for a midnight feeding.

I want babies to actually be babies in TS4.

** The Mod Community has done amazing things. But, the thing no one has yet succeeded in, is making babies functional. There are invisible crib mods, but its not quite there yet. With the addition of PandaSama's amazing mods, like the functional toddler crib and the locking on the high chair, along with nutri baby drinks and food from Around the Sims 4- I think the community is really starting to lean toward making the toddlers into babies instead. I would love to see a crawling walk style added for toddlers, baby hairs, booties, the ability for the baby to sleep on its belly, sleepy sacks, cribs, and the removal of blankets from them.

I just want babies to be better represented.

Its quite a few things really

Major Fixes

• Fix the bugs
  
• More Game Testing before you release packs
  
• Change the Trait system by first separating what are actual personality traits and what should be Preferences
  
• Have more selectable Preferences and more impactful traits
  
• Consequences for actions and choices, some very serious some less so
  
• Attraction System and More romance
  
• People feel grief in intensity and duration relative to closeness of the relationship.
  
• Challenge - some things in this game are too easy
  
• Better Babies
  
• Make more of the lakes and ocean water swimmable. Specifically in Granite Falls
  
• Stop allowing skills and past features to stagnate. You had a recent missed opportunity with Floral Arranging & Baking.
  
• Game Packs should get almost the amount of attention that an EP does but its focus should be narrower and refined. The Game Packs should always have pack synergy with past and future EPs and GPs so that there is always a way to enhance its value to current and future purchasers. Simmers should never be able to say "hey why didn't you add this or that thing" that ends up being a huge oversight on the part of the devs because you didn't properly brainstormed them.
  

Needed Refreshes

• Refresh - GTW by Updating Baking to a Base Game Feature. Add some new recipes exclusive to those who have the pack.

• Refresh - GTW by giving the Detective Career a Private Detective Branch and give us associated game play. Because some of us imagined more detective noir than CSI Miami and it would make the career more interesting and give us more replay value for the pack.
  
• Refresh - GTW by adding Magazines that can be purchased from magazine racks in bookstores. Comic Books too. Make Comic Writer a genre in Writing
  
• Refresh - GTW by adding a standard Journalism Career that uses the photography skill in part. Add Journalism Degree to Discover University
  
• Refresh - GTW by adding the concept of a second job

• Refresh - C&D by adding the need to get their teeth cleaned

• Refresh - C&D by adding Pet Uniforms for Pet Careers (Police Dog Protective Vest, Military protective gear with doggles and feet protection, Fire Gear with fireman helmet)
  
• Refresh - C&D by making Hunger & Thirst needs and matching water bowls to the food bowls
  
• Refresh - C&D by adding Saint Bernard Keg Collars

Zombies and strollers. Or even better, zombies IN strollers.

More floor levels, I need to be able to build at least 7 floors above ground for a build I’m hoping to achieve.

Less musical chairs. When I seat my sim on a chair and tell them to eat a meal right in front of them, there is no need to get up or even find a new chair. When I tell my sim to chat or argue while standing, they shouldn't take a seat before I haven't told them to. Especially not at the edge of the swimming pool.

Bring back Edit Lots (or Expand lots) with better improvements, maybe to be able to create your own different lots size and choose to put it anywhere in the neighborhoods whatever you want before building in your resident & community lots.
