GAMEPLAY MODES

I play forever gameplay. Meaning I have one main family and I make the whole world and sims of just the sims that that main family knows. All aging is off fully, never age them up.

FAMILY TREE/ FRIEND TREE
It would be lit if we could have an option when creating a new save we could have a family tree option where we make the main family then click to add cousins, aunties, step family/ in laws , and the friends of those sims and chose the relationship closeness from there (e.g. select multiple best friends/ sistas, dayones, select classmates, work colleagues) from there. That would be easier than having to make a family then introduce them and cheat the relationship. 
There should be the option to turn off romantic relationship growth for certain sims, cause sometimes (nonrelated) cousins start romantic relationships which feels wrong. 

You should be able to make the great grandparents of a sim without having to make them in the same household in cas to assign the relationship then move them into a different household and moving the family of that sim back into the household. 

CHOOSE HOME
For each household created you could chose a lot for them to live and create the house, or have an option to create them without placing them in the lot. 

NO NPCS
It would automatically come with no townies so you wouldn’t have to go round and individually delete them all. (Or at least the option to select them all)

For the NPCs we “can’t delete” like the principal at the school, let us create sims to fill these NPC roles so it’s truly a sandbox experience. Mei Prescott is not who I want running my school 🤣 I know you can Cas.fulleditmode, but you can’t import a sim from the gallery you just have to change her features to be the sim you want her to be, which is long and unnecessarily restrictive in a sandbox game. 

NO BUILD/ EMPTY WORLDS

 You could have the option to completely clear all builds, so you wouldn’t have to individually delete them all before starting gameplay. This would probably make the game run faster without having a lot of unnecessary household and sims running around that you don’t want in the game.

EASY TO NAVIGATE BETWEEN HOUSEHOLDS
You could access this family tree and friend tree at any time when playing so you don’t have to go in manage households and try and find the sim family you want to play with , cause they would be easier to find in the family tree/ friend tree.

NO EVENTS
You should have the option to turn all events off so you don’t have frequent pop ups.

OPTION TO SAVE FILE TO GALLERY

Some simmers don’t like thinking about storylines so if you could upload save files to the gallery after making a world like this then they could easily jump into gameplay after choosing a save file that looks interesting to them.

GALLERY

You could chose to save households along side the house they live in to the gallery, and any relations they may have. So if you like the look of the sim but not fully maybe you could just save place their cousins instead. And you could place a household and their house at the same time.

REVOLUTIONARY

I feel this would completely revolutionise the sims giving players so many possibilities of how to play the game without having to think about storylines. And it easier for us sandboxes lovers to create worlds.

BACK IN TIME FEATURE

There should be the option to copy and place the save so you could age back all the sims a few lifestages. Cause sometimes I play with my main family grown, and sometimes I play with them younger, but they’re in different saves. 

CALENDAR

We have seasons and weeks but not actual dates in the game. We should be able to see the numbers in the calendar 📅 and set the birthday of sims. We could choose a year to set it in e.g 2014 and the years would continue without sims aging up, but you could set the year back at anytime without losing progress.

SANDBOX

To make the game more customisable we should be able to write our own world name. Be able to change special lots. Be able to choose/ see the actual age of a sim and their birthday. Have more career flexibility and be able to create custom careers, how much they pay, the work location, activities and hours. 

ENTERING GAME

When entering the game you could have the option to play as last household, randomise a sim/ household to play with, or choose a sim from the family/ friend tree.

COUNTRIES

You should be able to put which country your sim is from (their heritage, their birthplace and where they live now)
