💡 Ideas > THINGS we want to see in The Sims 4 !!

❌Cross pack compatibility

Hi,

Here some cross pack features to add to the game.

• GP05 Parenthood × EP16 Lovestruck : Sack lunch for the picnic blanket
• GP05 Parenthood × EP01 Get To Work : Buy food as sack lunch
• GP05 Parenthood × GP03 Dine Out : Table setting in restaurant

Since the headline says THINGS, I'll hold off on functions and gameplay and focus on that. I'll try to not include everything as that would be a very long list. 😀

• Pool slides (various sizes - possibly a set you can build your own by combinations)
• Playground set (build your own playground, using different elements to create our own playgrounds)
• An exercise bike (one for home use and one for instructor use so we could make spinning classes at gyms)
• Lose weights for sims to work out with
• A pool table 
• Functional football goals (soccer)
• A matching counter for every bar, a matching bar for every counter
• Short, medium and tall heights for all curtains and ceiling lamps
• Sewing machine (ability to make and sell clothes)
• Buyable nectar bottles 
• A changing booth (change clothes, buy clothes, make out/woohoo, cry it out)
• Ticket counter and ticket window (for walls) for taking entrance fees on any public lot of my choosing
• Pottery wheel
• Drums and other new instruments 
• One tile dancefloor that can be attached to each other to make custom dancefloors
• Land line phone (+ability to disable mobile phone)
• Newspaper with optional subscription
• In the ground (or pool) hot-tub
• Diagonal stairs and spiral staircases
• One side railings
• matching gates to all fences, matching fences to all gates
• More flowers that work like the sunflowers (just the flower and the stem, and you can put them in whatever ground or flowerbed you choose to). Tulips, daffodils, zinnia, marigolds...

I would love to see the ability to make up a pop group with a lead singer and the instruments

Gosh I know I have a whole specific list somewhere but off the top of my head...

Interaction between the packs. like, if we can go swimming - all the worlds should be swimmable. If I can crochet clothes for chickens, I should be able to crochet clothes for cats.

Bands! I miss being able to form a band, and perform on a stage (like the festivals they used to do?!)

speaking of festivals - I miss the themed photo booths! I know this is a super minor thing, but it was like a collectible for me.

Cemeteries.

Create a style for furniture, etc. I also kinda miss the old CAS. I liked the sliders. I understand if I'm in the minority here.

Obviously open world. Doesn't matter how quick the loading screens are - I loved exploring. I loved the map the way it used to be - especially if you got the treasure map to find collectibles. 

I have an idea for the new Apply All feature: Make it so we can also apply colors, packs, types, etc., to everything at once. In other words, if I am making a sim for the gallery for the Get Famous pack, allow me to see only Base Game and Get Famous items at once rather than setting it in each clothing type individually and making it stick until I shut it off. I absolutely love this feature and think they can expand on it. 

👁️ Different Eyes (Heterochromia)

Hi,

I hope that Maxis will find a way to add this option in The Sims 4, it would be wonderful if the sims could have different eyes.

📰 Special Situations

It's nice when Maxis tell us a story, it could be interesting if The Sims 4 could officially support these special situations :

• Disowned : like Johnny Zest, it would cause a Difficult Family Dynamic
• Faked Death : like Roberto Crinkletop (aka Robert Crumplebottom), the sims could try to avoid people who used to know them.
• Reported Missing : like Bella Goth in The Sims 2, this sim is still alive but nobody knows where, people begins to worry and look for their location. They could be missing for these reasons :
  • Lost in the forest (Granite Falls)
  • Abducted by aliens
  • Stuck in the basement of the secret lab (StrangerVille)
  • Started a new life under a new identity
  • Accident in a cave / tunnel
  • Amnesia, wandering in the streets
  • Caught during a mission (Secret Agent career)
  • Lost in space (Astronaut career)

Pre-Teens, playable pets, the ability to CREATE babies in CAS, child sliders, and height sliders, and make a pack where children can go to school (like HSY)

📱 Smartphone update

I would like to add these features :

• Organize the icons : For example move Trendi app to the page 2, move Cupid's Corner app and Social app near Social Bunny app
• Shopping app > More options : With the 5G the sims shouldn't need a computer to order a voodoo doll or upgrade parts
• Entertainment app > Play music : As a portable speaker the sims could dance together anywhere

Original UI

Custom UI

• Line #1 : Social apps
• Line #2 : Household apps
• Line #3 : Entertainment apps

Play music in a museum and dance

I still would love to see a disability (mental and physical) pack and this will include wheelchairs, exoskeleton to help Sims walk, prosthetics: arm, hands, legs and feet and I'm also probably missing something. As for the mental: autism, anxiety etc... 

I also would love to see is Sports pack ranging from soccer, golf, american football, baseball, basketball, swimming, track and field, cricket, rugby that where Sims can go and watch or play etc. Including in this pack should have stadiums around the world, College and High school stadiums that sort of thing. 

What I really love to see is that the expansion and the other packs be cheaper without being on sale  and have kits be free.
