Console players wish list Build/Gameplay

Console player here, here’s a few things I really want added to console as we don’t have mods or CC. 


A few more bigger lots, 64x64 and 50x50 are my most used and not every world has them or only has 1 option. Maybe an option to change lot sizes? As I never really use the smaller lots. 

Definitely an underwater world for our mermaid sims. I love the Island Living pack but it feels incomplete without our mermaids having an underwater home. 

Spiral staircases obviously. 

More than 8 sims per household. Hate having to move out sims to make space for new ones. Also this has stopped me buying anything pet related as I’ve heard they take up a household space. 

**bleep** and Extreme Violence as a game pack. Would buy this so fast. Gives way more possibilities to gameplay, feels more real and less PG. Feel left out watching PC players have so many extra options. 

Would love more interactive careers like the Doctor/Scientist ones. Imagine getting to play a supervillain or ghost Hunter career, or working in a beauty salon/ fashion designer. A zookeeper career would be so fun to play. I’d also love a witch/spellcaster inspired career making spells for customers for example. Archaeologist would also be fun. 

An option to add sims to family tree. Had to delete one of my sims children as they turned into an elder instead of a young adult. Tried to fix but no luck, even the saved versions from my gallery had the same glitch when aging up, so deleted and made new from a young adult to continue storyline however now no relation to household. Tried to adopt into family but wouldn’t let me as too old/no caregiver needed. Now she keeps trying to flirt with her brothers :/ 

More options for decorating. PC builds look more seamless as they can stack items. Console players being stuck to 1 item per square is frustrating, there’s always holes or empty spaces that can’t be decorated. For example not all the space in my builds are suppose to be functional, especially garden areas so an option to stack plants would look much more realistic and cover empty spots.

  • Rachtuggers, this is a T for teen rated game. Some things you suggested for gameplay would not fit that rating, which is why they are only available as mods. I doubt EA is going to offer M rated packs for a T rated game.

    The more lot sizes would be nice. Personally, I do not use the largest ones and stick to the 20×30 lots, but that is because the game runs poorly with larger lots in which have too much clutter and details.

     As a PC player, I can tell you our lots might look more cluttered due to the bb.moveobjects cheat and using the 9, 0 and the shift keys to place items where they do not usually go. We all have the same slots where clutter can be placed without cheats. Those same types of cheats are available to consoles, although I am not sure what would replace the last 3 keys mentioned. Speaking of cheats, that is how to fix the relationships you mentioned by using CAS.fulleditmode cheat. I think the game allows for a keyboard to be enabled on console.

    Depending on packs they have semi-active careers where you either work from home or go to the rabbithole. It isn't 100% active careers, but it helps you decide what yasks you want to do. The only other "active" career is in Get Famous.
