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

New life stages: pre-teens and mid adults
Better babies
Hobbies!

I just want more cute gameplay options for couples interacting with each other or a parent interacting with their child. Like, being able to pinch sims cheeks or nose would be too cute for words. I don’t know why, but I just want it!

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.

Love this idea

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 adding a few Rabbithole buildings where Sims go to work. Hospital, Town Hall, Police Station, Science Lab etc. put them in the various neighborhoods where the buildings currently are just pointless artwork.
  
• Refresh - GTW by adding Sims 2 style carpools including the school bus.
  
• Refresh - GTW by giving us the ability to differentiate Retail Lots with what kind of lot they are i.e. Clothing, Toys, Bookstore, Candy Store, etc. Be willing to add new categories as is practical.
  
• Refresh - GTW add Doctors Office and Detective Agency as two new lots.
  
• 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 - OR by doing what is featured here https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/993617/refresh-for-outdoor-retreat-ideas-featuring-old-favorites#latest
  
• Refresh - GTW by adding Burglars and security systems. Give those detective a few new things to investigate
  
• Refresh - DO by first fixing the bugs and the aimless Sims.
  
• Refresh - DO by allowing us to categorize the Type of Restaurant we are owning (Diner, French, Indian, German etc.)
  
• Refresh - DO give us the ability to assign restaurant roles to our Sims like making our Sim who has worked through the culinary career to be the chef among other roles for a Sim family. Oh and Bartender IS a restaurant role.
  
• Refresh - DO by adding back the Sims 2 table interactions.
  
• Refresh - C&D Sims 2 style Pet jobs - Military Dog, Police Dog, Firefighter, Sports Mascot, Acting, Search & Rescue, Hospital comfort pet.
  
• Refresh - C&D Pet Vaccinations, Micro-chipping, Licenses and fees
  
• Refresh - C&D by adding Pet Store Lot with Groomer and adoption kennels
  
• Refresh - C&D by Separating things that are "Outfits" but are really Costumes and let us have the costumes for Spooky Day and Costume Parties
  
• Refresh - C&D by adding holiday themed collars and tags for Halloween & Dia De Los Muertos, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine's, Easter, New Year's Eve, St. Patricks Day, Diwali, Octoberfest, and Lunar New Year
  
• Refresh - C&D by adding pet manicures with choice of colors and the ability to set it to outfit
  
• Refresh - C&D by adding the need to get their teeth cleaned
  
• Refresh - C&D by adding back in better upgradeable pet beds and awesome upgradeable dog houses
  
• 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
  
• Refresh - C&D by adding Rain Gear & Cold Weather Gear
  
• Refresh - C&D by adding the door lock allowance for Family Pets or include them as household because it doesn't seem like it does currently.
  
• Refresh - C&D to allow for Butlers to brush, bath and walk the dog. Brush Cats as well
