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

an other thing I don't understand why they don't do it, and the Sims community begging for since DECADES is Heterocromia!
I mean I understand that at this Point it's impossible to rework the Mesh of a Sim but we've seen that they are very capeble of creating overlays (and Modder also do this since YEARS).
The Sims gave us a weird shiny Skin Overlay NOBODY ever has ask for!
Why not creating a permanent Overlay for the Eyes with that you don't even give the Players the chance to finally get the one thing that is the most requetset for CAS since ever, you also could do some fun effects like changing the shape of the catchlights (how fun would an Alien or a Fairy be with litte stars as the catchlight in the eyes or some sparkleeffects)
an other thing you could do with an overlay for the eyes is implementing blinded Eyes, we have the Scars that goes across the eye, give us the chance to also Blind that eye as well, or the chance to give Sims some form of cataracts etc. 

You could so SO much with an Overlay category for the Eyes, and it is requestet SO MUCH, so what stop you from doing this Sims Team?

I'm new to the game, and I haven't read all 400+ replies to this thread, but here are a few things I'd like to see:

I'd like the concept of "work clothes" to be supported. And I don't mean "career clothes" like a chef's jacket or a top-tier musician's tux/gown. I mean, if a character is wearing formal/party clothes and starts doing something like gardening or repairing the toilet, then the character should automatically change into "work clothes", the same way that they automatically change into "athletic clothes" when they go jogging or when they work out, or the way they automatically change into "swim clothes" when they get in a hot tub or pool.

I'd like to be able to adjust the height of characters. I've seen mods that do this, but the animations start looking weird. For example, when cooking, shorter characters hold knives/pans below the work surface, and taller characters hold knives/pans above the work surface.

I'd like to be able to adjust a character's appearance when wearing "career clothes". I understand that they have to wear the clothing dictated by the career, but a chef with long hair could wear it up when going to work, and a top-tier musician might wear a more formal hairstyle for work (to match the tux/gown).

📺 Small Business : Locked TV channel

The players could lock the TV channel including DJ booth effect so nobody could change the channel or turn off the TV. 

And Maxis could also do city giant screens similar to the speakers playing in loop one radio station.

💵 Money Lover trait

A trait for Landgraab family, this sim :

• Looks for high income
• Likes to spend money in investment funds and stocks
• Share or not money with their family and friends
• Is good at making money with businesses
• Has no moral. Any method is good to get money even if it means stealing or blackmailing loved ones, this sim never feels sorry for these actions.
• Can't trust other Money Lover sims.
• Prefers to be alone in the household but it's okay when these sims are additional sources of income.
• Likes to have roommates who will pay the bills
• Likes free services
• Likes sims who gift money or buy their friendship.

SYMMETRY OPTION FOR ALL PAINT MODES PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU!!!

Sooo EA, with 2.14, you added a sorting option to the sim inventory. Well, since I know which performance issues could be caused by crammed inventories, I actually didn't need it. However, what I have to do now on every load is to reset it from "New" (which btw. doesn't work) to "Filter" again. So, please do me the favour and store it permanentely, okay?

I really wish the Sims Team could see that Occults are a GREAT opportunity to bring Players back to other Packs (they maybe did not have bought to this point)
Like with the Fairies and all the new things that are included in this Pack get along great with the things that came with Outdoor retreat.

for that I REALLY wish they would rework Mermaids and Aliens,
as an example, I have a lots of Packs but I never found myself interested in the Strangerville pack as such, but I always thought that Aliens would fit PERFECTLY in this Pack.. but they are soooo boring! If they would be more fun like other Occults I really can see myself finally buying the Strangerville pack.

also Now would be the perfect time to rework Mermaids, cause with Fairies, you have the community in some kind of a Fairytale mood and Mermaids are also very Fairytale like creatures

Also PLEASE finally Include Pronouns in the german Version of the game, I know we don't have an offivial pronounce for non binary people but even Tv Shows in germany use the inoffical Xe/Xey/Xem Pronoune (we use the X as something that is unknown)

seriously?
-faster bugfixes
-Timely hotfixes for problems
-more content at a reasonable price
-no more recycled animations
-(transparent) communication from EA
-content in not so short intervals (yes EA everyone knows you love money, but seriously...), but more time for bugfixes

Anxiety gameplay

In opposition to Confident emotion, the sims could feel Tense before a major event in their life (university exam, first job, first date, wedding, first baby, ... ) and be unable to face their Fears.

The players would have to help the sims to feel confident.

Traits could decide the level of anxiety for example a Genius sim would be less anxious about university exam than other sims.
