Feedback: Share with us what you would want to see in the game

Hello Simmers,

We love feedback, we crave it ... And with that thought in mind we wanted to start a dedicated thread, so you can share specific items you hope to see in game.

Have a specific haircut you love and want to see it in game? A make-up style you use daily and want to replicate in The Sims 4? Missing a skin tone that is just right for you?

Let us know the styles/items you want to see in-game! Pictures are loved and much appreciated.

    In no particular order:

    - Terrain tools.

    - Colour wheel incorporated into build mode and CAS like you did with the Cats & Dogs OR Swatches like those in The Sims 2 where we can change different parts of furniture separately e.g. The base of a bed and the mattress.

    - More interactions with babies and be able to travel with them

    - Strollers/Pushchairs for babies and toddlers.

    - More normal furniture i.e. Not old fashioned and not too modern

    - A Grungy, rundown, non-perfect neighborhood and furniture Build Mode stuff to match it (I enjoy realism, these places do exist)

    - More active careers like those from TS3 (Architect, Stylist etc.)

    - Cars. Could be incorporated in a similar way to those in TS2.

    - More clothing and hairs for male Sims

    - Try and make the worlds more open, similar to Jungle Adventure

    - Stilt foundations

    - More makeup for females

    - Nails with a variety of colours

    - Make hair styles with accessories separate so that the hair doesn't change colour because I want a purple headband or use TS2 style swatches as stated earlier.

    - Make swimming in the sea/rivers a thing

    - Bring back cuddling in/on the bed. My couples don't look like couples! (this used to be adorable in the previous game)

    - Bring back relaxing on the bed and being able to watch TV, read etc.

    - Farming

    - Different shaped stairs and spiral stairs

    - Online dating

    - SEASONS!!

    Everyone in my game looks like this (particularly randomly generated Sims) my own Sims only seem affected when gaining weight. I have a mod called "no more weird body shapes." I can't remember who made it, but maybe it can help you until it's fixed.

    I know.

    But, when every single townie in my game looks like this, it's scary and a bit unrealistic :D
    IRL, I am not exception to the weird body type. I eat for England and don't gain an ounce.

    Edit, I quickly opened my game with the Mod removed, these are the Sims that spawn in. I assume these are all homeless Sims. They all have the same body type.

    • - More personality traits, likes and dislikes, turn ons/offs, fears (and appropriate reaction to scary things lol)
    • - Wallpaper/paint for the ceiling. Normally it's not visible, but if you're looking around a building in free camera mode, it sticks out. Like if you're in a dungeon made of old stones, but the ceiling is just pure white. Lol. Also, if you put stairs against a wall, then go into free camera mode and take a peek up/down the stairs, there will be a blank white part of the wall there too.
    • - Spiral stairs, L-shaped stairs, ladders
    • - Terrain tools
    • - I would appreciate another empty world like Newcrest, but more empty space to fill, i.e. not so many decorative buildings and scenery.
    • - Functioning vehicles
    • - An option to make the neighborhoods 'open', like miniature open worlds, for those whose computers can handle it. If it's doable... I would think so, but I'm not a coder or game developer, lol...
    • - More NPCs (police, robbers, firemen, ect.)
    • - More social interactions, relaxing and cuddling in bed, couples spooning and cuddling while they sleep (aww), friendly/romantic neck bite for vampires, ect... things from previous games that haven't been added to TS4.
    • - Cemeteries
    • - More color swatches, and color wheel for skin/eyes/hair in CAS
    • - Things I've come to expect in The Sims games, like weather and seasons, more careers, university, occults, a wide variety of worlds
    • - Mixed lot types of some sort, like a cafe with some apartments above it...would be cool, anyway.

    These are just things off the top of my head; and I'm not sure if this was strictly for CAS only...? :/ as I didn't look through all 13 pages, but I added a couple of game play options and things like that below..

    More Kid to Kid Interactions:


    • Cops and Robbers
    • Tag
    • Jump Rope
    • Hopscotch



    Child to Adult interaction:


    • Dance on mom or dad's feet


    Outdoor objects:


    • Swing sets with slides and a sandbox attached, or unattached.
    • Slides for pools
    • Merry-go-round


    At home careers:


    • Daycare (Own a daycare center) - Be able to create and manage our own DayCares.
    • Home Businesses.


    More objects for toddlers to use, to play, to learn.


    More school options


    • Private School (With an NPC that stops by to look at the layout of the house, how mannered the child is (they could show off their school projects, report cards, how clean /messy they keep their rooms) and with Parenthood this could allow them to show how mannered they've become/or are becoming.. and the NPC can grade them to see if their a fit for their school.
    • Homeschool



    • Ability to be out of school for Summer vacation
    .

    Expansion Pack Ideas:

    • University - Sororities, Frats, Secret Society lots (can create a secret society lot and be able to pledge and do "challenges" to get into these societies, sororities, or frats.
    • Seasons, of course. Spring activities, Summer Activities, Fall activities, Winter activities (Christmas tree's, example). ("Sim Holidays", Love Day (Spring), "SPooky Day", "etc")
    • Supernaturals
    • Witches (Game pack)


    More events:

    Baby Showers - Mom to be, invites all her friends over for a baby shower and they can bring baby gifts (so this would allow new objects for babies.. maybe a bouncer, a play mat with the little light up musical toys that they can lay under..., new cribs, etc) this would mean.. that babies would finally be able to get out of those bassinets, though!

    CAS:

    • MORE traits - Shy, coward, to name a few.
    • Likes/Dislikes
    • more toddler hair, clothing, and shoe wear.



    MORE CHAOS! Game is too easy... as in.. I need more drama, more consequences, more NPC's (Cops, Robbers, Firefighters, etc), I want my Sims to have to call the Cops, or Fire Department.. I want my Sims to react better to their surroundings and to be incredibly upset when their enemies are in the same room. I want the emotion system given an overhaul... it needs to be fixed! The Traits system needs to be fixed!

    I want the Doctor career to be fixed. The nurses just stand around... :/ they chat up the patient, eventually and that's pretty much it. They should be taking their temperatures, taking samples to give to the doctor to run tests on the computers, etc..

    and I think that instead.. we should start out as a nurse and work our way up to doctors. And other NPC nurses when we're on the 'clock' and we follow our Sim should HELP. :(

    I love Get To Work. It's one of my favorite Expanison Packs released so far. But there's just somethings that need to be worked on..

    And I think that's all I have right now.. :) thank you for making this thread, though. I enjoy this types of threads so much and it's so nice to see the team "asking" what we'd like to see.. even if it's just to get an idea.. for something way down the road.. better than nothing. :) ♥

    I have been missing sim to sim interactions very much. Interactions like martial arts, dancing together (like actually dancing facing each other at a range that makes it clear you are dancing with that other sim), slow dancing, red hands, kicky bag, pillow fights, tag etc made the sims very real to me. 50,000,000,000,000 different conversation interactions are nice I guess, but I am always disappointed when a new pack comes out and the only new interactions are basically 50 more conversations. I thought when the closet and the hot tub were introduced that the woohoo interactions were amazing (the sims 4 sims finally seemed ...passionate about something). Let's cuddle on the bed, make out standing up, get a little fresh when we're feeling frisky (really miss the goosing interaction from Sims 2 and the couch and bed make-out interactions from previous games too) and line dance (our sims need The Smustle back - look what a great reaction the Rumbasim got - now if only they could do it together as an interaction).

    One interaction I don't remember seeing in any of the previous games which would be wonderful for a new, fresh, Sims 4 interaction would be a romantic interaction that let's them take a walk together. I know they can jog around the neighborhood and walk the pet around the neighborhood, but I think it would be awesome if they could walk hand in hand around the neighborhood and maybe even have one lean his/her head against the shoulder of the other while they complete the circuit. That would be amazing. Then when they reach the end of the circuit they could end the walk with little kiss or even just turning to face each other and look into each others eyes for a brief moment.

    I wish the next pack could be all about more sim to sim interactions.

    I would love to see less generic interactions between Sims for starters. Nothing against the game or franchise. I love the franchise.

    For example, an evil Sim likes somebody and kidnaps them to talk to them express their feelings rather than an actual date the way normal sims would do. Kind of like in Boys Over Flowers. A music lover or creative sim being able to introduce themselves through song or by showing off a sketch of someone that they did as an introduction. I wouldn't mind having a choice of typing an interaction in with custom interaction when talking with an NPC or townie. Depending on what is said the townie or NPC would answer in a unique way for them and we wouldn't be able to use foul language in custom social interactions thus keeping the PG - PG 13 rating of the game. I think it would add to story progression.

    I miss spiral staircases too. They took up 4 squares in Sims 3. Giving us a little more freedom.
