10 years and still no......
10 years and still no:
- no undercounter fridges ( if you can do it for dishwasher you can do for fridges and they should be base game)
- no 1 tile base game walking closet
- no 4 tile spiral staircase
- no porch swing (base game)
- no buggies/strollers for toddler and babies
- no proper picnics can't pit put picnic basket on blanket and only allows two sims
- no pool/snooker table, no sewing machine, no volleyball, no hammock, no drum set, no saxophone, no cello , no trumpet, no surfing board, no seesaws, no skateboards, no skates no skipping rope, no dumbbells, these things should've all been in updates or refreshes.
- no ballet dance skill
- no karate skill
- no tennis
- no waterslides
- no bands
- no rollercoaster and theme park activities
- no proper cross-compatibility that creates new bonus features if you have certain packs.
- no create your own lot type (by combining features of different lot types) should be a base game update
- no grocery lot type
- no daycare lot type
- no world duplicator button (be able to duplicate world at least three times. (If we can more pack with world we should be able to duplicate the worlds we like. Literally a mod has already done this.)
- no real estate agent career
- no mechanic career
- no vehicles that sims can drive ( if sims 2 could do it, why not the sims 4)
If the sims franchise isn't putting out the a sims 5 their is no excuse why these feature shouldn't have been implemented as the sims 4 been going for longer than 10 years. during that time they should either started on the next installment of the franchise or/and have the feature listed above already in the game as in the packs or base game. It's not the player fault that the sims built the sims 4 on a faulty foundation, The prices you charge your players is extortionate for what you offered. The excuses that worlds have to be smaller because their not enough space is a feeble excuse of a problem YOUR company has created by splitting up various of packs and tying certain feature to a pack. Then when the sims does implement a feature that a players want it's never in they way they want it. e.g. highshcool years without being to do subjects in classes, pass around notes make paper airplane, do group projects or experiments. Have different highschool in different worlds, the minimum of two in any world. ( If Bella Goth can appear in different world they why do you think it a major things the to see the same random teen in different highschool if going to make the excuse if one then fix the other!), being able to decide lot trait/challenge if school is public or private. option to create school uniform for schools. For Rent not being able to create businesses underneath a apartment complex which is very common.
Thing I've listed are just a snippet of what should've been in game. Their is plenty more but new exciting ideas that could be added, but if the sims can't even get the basics then that is what the focus should be. Generally look at what modders are putting out for activities, skills and animation.
