Feel free to share your CAS suggestions too.• Modest fashion filter and like/dislike;New emotional personality traits: Insecure (For embaressment), Nervous (For tension), Dull (For bored), and Fearful (for fear); Static poses for sims; Hair growth deactivated by default; Intersex/Non-binary option; Selectable life stage's sublevels (Each one lasting more than 1 year); Visible and editable life state slot;✅ Health conditions: Allergies, Fears, Diets; Saturation and brightness sliders for hairs, and if not, then more saturated, dark and pastel hair colors and more shades of natural red hair. Separate muscle sliders: Arms, torso, legs and back separately Paint mode for sims; New and old miscellaneous skin colors for human sims: New aspirations: - Body: Healthy lifestyle - Family: Good family member - Location: [Willow Creek] - Location: [Oasis Springs]New categorization for the styled looks to deal with the overwhelming amount of existing looks; A single body hair category (like the tattoos); Tranform body hair categories into "[Body part] details" and transfer skin details/scars to their respective location; Create ghost animals on CAS. Set career, money and skills on CAS: It could work as a custom option of the Create a Sim Stories where we choose the results by ourselves Choose the bonus trait: Given that the bonus traits only come with the first aspiration, we should be able to choose it brcause sometimes we want to create a sims that had their first aspiration but changed their minds or gave up on it. This would help everyone a lot with storytelling and creating deeper personalities. Genetics section: A space to customize your sims genetic conditions and heritage like body details, hair/skin colors, body sillhouette, personality traits, allergies (like lactose intolerance), etc.

@thornwill Lots of good things on this list.LoL, a Dull Trait would be hilarious. I can see these Sims getting happy moodlets for doing mundane tasks, like taking out the trash, paying bills, organizing files on the computer, watching plants grow, enjoying small talk. Would add odd yet unique gameplay.

It would be great to have the option to choose a hair color for each outfit without affecting others.

yes to all these, i just saw the topic that's CAS related and that person suggested these: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Feedback-Ideas/New-ideas-for-CAS/m-p/14044623#M5529i was about to make a topic based on the CAS ideas aswell but since the CAS ideas are already shared, i'd like to share mine:-more eye and hair colour options (especially unnatural hair colours)-more unrealistic skintones-hair and eye sliders to make it lighter or darker (kinda like they did with make-up and skintones)-more aspirations-more personality traits-more hairstyle options like afro hair, dreadlocks, curly hair, braids (we either don't have these or it's quite rare)-more likes/dislikes category such as food and drinks (can't think of other things though)-make it 2 more trait slots (if more personality traits get added) 3 slots for little kids, 4 for teens and 5 for young adults and later stages

There's two things I'd like from CAS: Streamlining some things, and making stuff regarding to a sim's personality do more. For streamlining: -Allow us to hide things we never use. All the packs has made CAS very bloated, allowing us to hide everything we never use and keep that hidden any time we use CAS unless we manually unhide it after selecting the hidden category would help a lot. All the things that we hide should also not show up on generated townies. It's out of our game. -Add a generate a basic sim option. Works the same as the regular option, but these sims are generated without any clothing, accesoires, make up or tattoos. Just a blank canvas, Only the hair on their head would be there. Taking all the stuff off a sim first takes time too, the game seems to love generating them all with full make up and accesoires. -When selecting style, fashion and other filters, keep them enabled for everything you do in CAS until you choose to change the filters. It's very annoying when I set the right filters for the upper body items, that I have to do that again for every other category. It would be a handy little time saver. For making the personality stuff do more: -Traits still need to do way more than they do. I'm all for adding new traits, I really like that some new traits like Macabre really do a lot too! But we still have lazy sims who clean, exercise and basically do everything a non-lazy sim does on their own choice. They just dislike doing it. They should not do those things, let them be lazy. Slob sims also get bothered when dirty when they should not be. Geek sims have no extra reaction to visiting Batuu. And the list goes on. -Likes and dislikes should affect sim behaviour, not just the moodlet. At the very least if I set a sim to dislike something they should never automatically do it. Could be a great way to control our sim behaviour more to be as we desire. If they dislike the music being played in the room, they should automatically switch it to something they do like before starting to dance. Currently they go out of their way to dance to music they hate.

i was about to make a topic based on the CAS ideas aswell but since the CAS ideas are already shared, i'd like to share mine:

-more eye and hair colour options (especially unnatural hair colours)

-more unrealistic skintones

-hair and eye sliders to make it lighter or darker (kinda like they did with make-up and skintones)

-more aspirations

-more personality traits

-more hairstyle options like afro hair, dreadlocks, curly hair, braids (we either don't have these or it's quite rare)

-more likes/dislikes category such as food and drinks (can't think of other things though)

-make it 2 more trait slots (if more personality traits get added) 3 slots for little kids, 4 for teens and 5 for young adults and later stages

• Hair paint mode: Given that we lost much of the previous customization for sims hairs i think having a paint mode would be enough to allow us to create our own hair coloring ans details.
TS4 werewolves fur paint mode

• Different nipples, belly buttons, nails and fingers format: Thisbwould allow us to create a diversity of sims body details and make the characters much more unique. I miss having this kind of detail during the gameplay.
Nails and fingers shapesTypes of nipples amd belly buttonsGynecosmatia, Supernumerary nipple, mastectomy

That's a lot of detail.
I kind of like the way the game is designed right now eventhough my teen girls that I play with the athletic trait look like adult bodybuilders(bug).
I am open to these ideas knowing that male sims with female traits can have breasts (in CAS) and breastfeed (Male Aliens) in this game already.
A lot of simmers have these ideas with mods...I understand this is a base game wish for those that can't download mods.

I have a suggestion... could you update residential lot traits to include stayovers that allow pets... I have created a Pet room on my current sim's house lot, and can't use it since the default for Dog/cat friendly is greyed out

I agree with a lot mentioned.
Update old traits, many new traits are such an improvement: Macabre, Mystical, etc. I did a bit of a deep dive, and these traits are fleshed out with multiple tuning files and features, but base game and old traits, barely have a couple of tuning files/features to the personality/trait.
Likes/dislikes should determine autonomy (instead of our "sort of" score sheet with slight influence by traits/moods/age/etc.)
Blank Sims or a "blank slate" option for a Sim would be great. Clearing all traits, and hopefully also clearing traits that get stuck on Sims giving moodlets for traits they don't have anymore), CAS items, etc. I remember I use to make blank slates of my favourite Sims in Sims 3 they'd basically be wearing a hospital gown, and everything else removed and a basic hair. So I could redress/make for themes.
Allow us to add tags to CAS. A hide tag, and maybe let us assign clothing types to clothes (some clothes aren't tagged ideal or most tagged basic).
More hair and skin tone swatches, also some need to be re-organized as they aren't all arranged lightest to darkest. We are missing bright and fashionable colours like bright purple, pastel purple, pastel blue, pale pastel pink, rose gold, true white, etc. Sliders would be ideal!
C&D short legged dogs. Dachshunds, corgis, basset hounds, etc.
Setting (and possibly locking) skills, career, funds, extended family tree (like Grim Reaper, Father Winter, etc. extension) so the appropriate born traits would set.
Select aspiration trait, instead of it pre-selecting.
