Here are my ideas for the base game:
~ The color wheel
Having a ton of color swatches for everything is nice but a lot of things don’t have enough color options or variety and I would love them to bring back the color wheel in CAS / Build Buy mode. Maybe not on everything but at least on a lot of things. Being able to paint your own patterns on furniture in your home would be nice too. I also wish you could select your own colors for the two-tone hair styles instead of just automatically selecting the second color based on your base hair color selected
~ Character height adjustment in CAS
Because why is everybody the same height? My sim’s wife is taller than him when she wears heels! I don’t like it
~ Spiral staircases
We all want this.. No, NEED THIS PLEASE. A huge void for this needs to be filled, a must have for tiny builds and fancy apartments!!
~ Pre-teen life phase
To avoid the awkward jump from child to immediately being a teenager. Also if pre-teens could show their occult sides likes teens can but children cannot. This would create more opportunities for storylines of young witches / mermaids / werewolves
~ Usable cars!
Another thing we ALL want back that we miss from older sims games, would optimize fast travel and make it more realistic too instead of sims just vanishing in thin air
~ Fix terrain issues
Multiple things can be said about this but I am specifically referring to when trying to smooth out terrain around your house and having a weird gap between the terrain and your walls of your home. I would love for this terrain to be flush up against the walls of the home without terrain leaking in.
~ Fix disappearing items
I’m specifically referring to when you zoom in too closely on an item you’ve placed down from build / buy (I believe this issue is exclusively from the debug menu) and it vanishes until you zoom back out
~ Why does my sim always wear a bikini?
This is a huge peeve of mine whenever I live on a beach lot especially but even when I don’t, if I have a pool on my property it is so common for my sim to just be running around the house in a bathing suit. I would love for my sim to not wear a bathing suit unless actively swimming or interacting with the water in some way, or lounging out within a certain distance of a pool / beach.
~ Character height adjustment in CAS
This would be great! My first couple character builds were game versions of my wife and myself. I'm taller than my wife, but I couldn't get the game versions to reflect that.
~ Pre-teen life phase
Another possibility would be for pre-adult Sims to grow as they progress through a life stage. Rather than have a child magically turn into a teen (who looks almost like an adult), a child could start shorter and less mature, and then grow to pre-teen size before aging up. And teens could start a little taller than pre-teen size, and then grow to nearly adult size before aging up.
~ Why does my sim always wear a bikini?
Likewise, Sims should change out of their sleepwear if another Sim visits in the morning.
Expanding on the growth during pre-adult life phases...
Having the appearance of Sims be continuously changing is probably too much of an ask. So maybe their could be sub-phases.
Newborn, infant, and toddler are pretty short phases, so they could be left the way they are.
Child is 2 weeks (normal lifespan), so that could be divided into early childhood (smaller) and late childhood (larger, almost pre-teen).
Teen is 3 weeks (normal lifespan), so that could be divided into three sub-phases, roughly middle school, early high school, and late high school.
