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

🧟 "Undead" life state

Officially Undead means the person died so it could be similar to Ghost. I mean have a Tombstone/Urn, Death type and be applied to all occult.

For some reasons the soul could be still attached to the original body creating these life states :

• Skeleton : Soul refusing to leave the body (Sense of duty ? Unfinished business ?)
• Mummy : Cursed soul. An enemy has cursed this sim for the eternity.
• Zombie : When ghost resurrection has failed like The Sims 2

Abilities :

• Turn alive sim/occult into undead life state (bite or curse)
• Immune to death types. Only fire and cowplant can turn them into ghosts
• No muscle gain or fat loss
• No Bladder or Hygiene needs. Social/Fun needs could be unlocked if somebody restore their humanity.
• Hunger and Energy needs are merged. Eating keeps them awake.
• Undead dance
• Sleep underground near their tombstone or in mausoleum
• Undead Language : Sims with Thanatology skill could understand and have Social interactions with Undead sims
• Undead Spellcaster : Necromancy spells
  • Summon undead to scare somebody
  • Turn ghost into undead
  • Curses : Undead Magnet (sims or lot)

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. 

👀 👁

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

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)

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?

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

💵 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.

📺 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.

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).
