Console Player Feedback & Future Feature Suggestions

As a longtime console player, I wanted to share a few suggestions and pieces of feedback with the Sims team.

First, please consider bringing back the ability to purchase and own cars. It was such a nostalgic feature in previous Sims games, and I think it would add so much personality and realism to our households. Having Sims save up for their dream car, customize it, and use it to get around would be amazing.

I also want to give credit where it's due. I've really enjoyed seeing the growth in apparel, accessories, and jewelry options over the years. It's especially great seeing more Black creators involved in the creative process. I can genuinely see and feel the impact through the hairstyles, clothing, and overall representation in the game. The brand partnerships, such as Coach, have also been a nice touch and bring fresh content into the Sims universe.

That said, I'd love to see even more hairstyle options and expanded jewelry choices. Things like belly rings, additional piercings, layered jewelry, and more modern accessories would help players create even more unique Sims. Also, please update the wedding ring selections we could definitely use more styles, designs, and customization options.

Another area I'd love to see expanded is careers. A modeling career would be a fun and realistic addition. I also think it would be interesting if certain career paths required degrees or specific educational achievements, similar to how many professions work in real life. It would add another layer of progression and realism to gameplay.

These are just a few suggestions from a dedicated console player. Thank you to the creative teams for continuing to support and grow The Sims. I hope you'll consider some of these ideas in future updates!

    I left this on a different thread that asked for cars: While I do not care if cars appear in this iteration, they have stated the reason why it wasn't, was based on how cars were not really utilized in Sims 3 (more sims took public transportation or taxis according to their analytics).

    As for the other suggestions, new clothing, accessory, and hairstyles are always being dropped in-game. Many are just tied to different packs.  

    With the University EP, you can already get advantages such as higher starting pay and/or starting at a higher career level. So although, the careers do not require degrees, that is how it currently works.

    Blackcuz000​ did you know that we can add cars for decorative purposes by using the debug cheat on console without affecting console trophies and achievements? bb.showhiddenobjects and bb.showliveeditobjects. It takes quite a lot of scrolling to find all of the vehicles and cars on console but they are there. I use them for my drives, car parks and garages. I also often add accessories such as tyres from debug along with items from the Restoration Workshop Kit to make a proper garage. Adding driving to the game would possibly be a step too far at this stage in it's life cycle but the cars are there.
