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

Cross Pack : City Living's Neighbor Behavior

This feature should be cross pack compatible with other packs' apartments.

It has been 10 years that only San Myshuno has nosy neighbors.

Like I always say : there is no point in developing features that the players won't be allowed to use in 90% of the cases.

NPC Townies Travel Management

A way to control who can go where (world or neighborhood) :

• Occult : For example Fairies locked up in Innisgreen
• Celebrities : Judith Ward could be banned from Forgotten Hollow
• Nobles : No nobles would be lost in Glimmerbrook's forest
• World Residents : Sulani residents banned from Mt. Komorebi, I mean Summer casual outfit doesn't fit to mountain.

Thank you for replying!Unfortunately I don’t have outdoor retreat and I agree more can be added

I poked around on the SimsWiki page for Cooking and noticed a few dishes that are available:

BBQ Ribs Plate (base game)
Chicken and Waffles (Home Chef Hustle stuff pack)
Fried Fish (catfish can be caught)
Gumbo (Outdoor Retreat game pack)
Fruit Cobbler (Outdoor Retreat, blackberries available)
Sweet Potato Pie (Get to Work expansion pack)

A few things come to mind that could be added to the game:

other kinds of BBQ (pulled pork, brisket, chicken, etc.)
Shrimp and Grits (as seen on MasterChef 😉)
Fried Okra
Fried Green Tomatoes
Collard Greens
Pecan Pie
Bread Pudding
Banana Pudding

So, what else could be added to the list? Or what harvestables (like peaches) could they add to the game that would allow existing recipes to work?

More ethnic food choices! I shouldn’t have to use a mod to try African American cuisines! It’s very disappointing that being a black female whose been playing sims since first release there is still no African American food dishes especially southern cuisine!

I play on PlayStation 5 but I’ve had some of these ideas for awhile … 

- I think they should add more sports options like track & field, basketball, softball, Art Club, swim team ..etc etc to the High School Years. I also believe they should allow students to switch between classes to hang out with different kids each class & maybe have a actual nurse at the school like they do in real life to give it a more realistic feel. 

- I would like them to also add an amusement park pack/kit .. I want to actually have something with a bit more excitement - I think that would be a fun idea 

- I also feel like they need to add the ability to go in and create parents to existing siblings sims - I want to be able to go and update my brother/sister duos - sister/sister - brother/brother etc and create both parents instead of it just having me create 1 then the other is changing to be listed as Sibling / spouse to the kids 

Meeting Table

When the sims need to discuss or take a decision together, it could be used for :

• Social gain
• Career Performance gain/loss
• Business Owner drama/plot twist
• Money gain/loss (Investment)
• Influence gain/loss (heir choice)
• Collective Position (when a scandal is revealed, the group can decide between loyalty or betrayal)

I think the reaction to a resurrected Sim should depend on how the surprised Sim knew about the death. The reaction could be as mild as "I guess that was just a prank phone call" (since mischief exists in Sims 4 too). Or it could as severe as "You hear that Elizabeth? I'm coming to join you honey!"

"Official" Resurrection

Sims react to baby birth, career promotion, wedding and death. But when a sim is resurrected, it isn't even a miracle, no sim cares.

So the resurrected sim could officially announce (or not) their return.

If not announced, other sims could be surprised (passing out) or scared at the first interaction.

I am reminded of the Silent Disco event that I helped chaperone. All the kids were given headphones that would tune to one of 3 channels (red, green, blue) and they could listen to whichever one they wanted. So you'd see a bunch of people dancing, but not hear the music (unless you were tuned to the same channel as the dancing group). It was interesting seeing the colors of the channel the majority was listening to shift... first most were dancing to red, then blue, then green, then blue, and so on.
