Would be great if we can change the comfort/environment level of furniture. I'm forced to use items that I don't really like so my sims will stop complaining with their aching backs. Some of the lower priced with lower comfort/environment level items suit my taste better than the more expensive ones.
Like, can we have a regular and premium version of items?
I'd love if Sims skilled in Handiness (or a new skill, like Sewing) could upgrade their furniture to increase its comfort/environment/stress-relief value.
I'm always puzzled when we get new packs and the furniture looks really cool but has low or medium comfort levels. Horse Ranch was a real frustration, as soon as my Sims used the beds they complained. I now upgrade all of the beds to make them all comfortable but I'd like to be able to upgrade seating too.
We can upgrade the beds only, would be great if we can do that on other furniture as well! Or get a buff on the items already in the game - especially when they have absolutely no comfort or environment rating: are they at 0 - not comfy, not nice looking?
There were requests in the past addressed in the live streams and chats that "Well, we realize the game is a bit outdated, so here are some updates and more modern-looking build/buy items and clothes". Well, that did not happen in terms of "newer is better".
I am actually no longer buying anything unless I can go through 6-7 streamer videos (they barely show the comfort levels of items, just being excited how cool it looks). And usually I just do not buy anything anymore because of that - the game takes insane amount of space already - what good is yet another pack that I won't be using?
There are people actually playing the game with full storylines and serious time investment that do not want to or cannot (console) use mods. Not just building or making fancy content to stream. Such people (like me) would want to progress to better environment ratings, more comfortable build/buy etc. I even stopped buying the traits (never sleepy) to make the legacy save more realistic and actually have few sims asleep at the same time.
I would love this, honestly.
But for anyone who uses mods, I like LittleMsSam's Buy a Better Mattress/Comfortable Cushion mods. This at least helps on sofas and beds even if you don't have high handiness.
