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

Start with a loan

SimCity 4 starts with a loan, the players have to figure out how to make profits, repay it or eventually take another loan.

So The Sims 4 could include an option to start with a loan before moving in for the first time.

Still waiting for The Band.

Sense of Belonging trait

Like the One Ring and the eye of Sauron, this trait put the spotlight on the sim for better or worse.

Family members and friends will feel concerned about needs, emotions, relationships and career, they keep an eye on this sim. They want the best life (or the worst life if Evil/Mean sim) for this sim and will try to be involved by influencing it without asking permission.

In exchange it will always be a pleasure to help if this sim with Sense Of Belonging trait asks them (cooking, cleaning, babysitting, ...).

Maybe the players could pick which specific sims should care about this sim, for example an older sibling being overprotective with an young sibling.

😂 That poor nervous boy...I love this screenshot! 

Now I say boy because he ain't taken the adore like a man. He needs to be sucking up all that mature love...........stop.🤣

Those lil' old ladies can't harm him...but he could harm them..🤔😏

I'd love to see more Spellcaster interactions. Like why can't we use scruberoo on dirty pets.

Also, with Get Together, why are there no Outdoor Retreat options available for club activities, like brewing and using herbal remedies? 

That sounds really cool! Can you imagine if you select a night club for the birthday event, there are bouncers by the door only allowing guests inside. Then, if an uninvited Sim is really stubborn about getting in, they will try to sneak in only to fail and be caught by the bouncers and an all out brawl ensues 😆😆😆

For chefs and mixologists in the culinary career, I would really like for them to go to work at a restaurant, bar or restaurant that has a bar. You know, an active career like home decorator, cop, scientist, exorcist, etc...

🧢 CAS update

I miss this era where the studios could do more details with less advanced technology and less resources.

Saints Row 2 (2008) had these options :

• Hat options :
  • Cap rotation (8 directions) : forward-left, left, backward-left, backward
  • Change Logo : Database of logos available for cap, jersey, t-shirt
  • Items : Motocross helmet
• Upper Body :
  • Multi-layer : Ability to be shirtless or wear tank top under open shirt or jacket 
  • Style : Open, closed or tucked
  • Items : Backpack, open baseball jersey
• Lower Body :
  • Belt
  • Pants waist : low-rise or normal
  • Underwear : boxer brief under pants
• Accessories :
  • Earring : one side earring

Sup Brah!😜

I played the hell out that game on console. I never had that much bank in my game!😮

I was a real thug back then just hustling and creating mayhem. 😉

It's amazing the kind of customization we had in many games back then. Customized gameplay should be a no-brainier in todays games especially the sims.

🏢 MegaCorp Empire

A gameplay for the Landgraab family.

Ability to become the new J. R. Ewing with a new ownable business focused on rivalry and plotting.

• Office lot : the headquarter of the company
• Elite employees : A team of advisors in charge of reporting any important event. The right-hand person could be risky (Loyal sim can be trust, Ambitious sim want to take the control and Non-committal sim could betray the company)
• Activities : Meetings, Negotiate deals, search new investment, purge bad investment, get ahead of the rival companies, take control or sign non-aggression pact
• Path of success : Legal way (donate to charity) or use sabotage and blackmailing to secure the path to the top
• Build an empire, secure its position and transfer it to the next generations

Secretive trait :

A Secretive sim hide their emotions (option to set the current mood) and can start fake rivalry/friendship/romance. As an elite employee, the company secrets are safe, Secretive sims are also good at collecting intel from rival companies thank to their network of "friends" (Spymaster like Leliana in Dragon Age Inquisition)
