IDEA: Domestic Activities | Activities & Skills | Build Buy Organization

There are a variety of Activities that could be combined into its own specific subcategory as these objects and interactions don’t technically fit among the current selection of Activities & Skills.

A new Domestic Activities subcategory would focus on the Self, the Family, the Home, and the Home Business (Yard Sales).

Objects by Function > Activities & Skills > Domestic Activities

EXAMPLE of objects that would be in the Domestic Activities subcategory:
Google PDF: Sims 4 Organize BB Activity - Domestic.pdf

Thank you for consider my suggestions.

  • I usually don't worry or overly worry about realism gameplay in Sims, but I think it would be so nice that either if the item/object (or if it was a trait paired with an item/object), where a Sim could do a morning and evening routine (skin/hair/makeup/fragrance).

    Depending on you have as a pre-selected, or pie menu option, but to also be automatic/autonomous before bed (like "Do Evening Routine and Go to Bed") and after sleeping (like "Wake Up and Do Morning Routine). Where a Sim could wash their makeup off, do a skin routine, maybe even go to bed with a face mask and/or curlers. And in the morning do their skin and/or hair routine, re-apply makeup (either as a the default makeup from CAS and/or a selection of types), and lastly apply a perfume with a temporary moodlet depending on what fragrance is used (I enjoyed perfume bottles from the Sims 3 store).

    I miss the click floor and "Clean House" for Neat Sims, if they had like an object that allowed that under Domestic Activities—I'd love it. And I find "Maintaining Houseplants" needs also "Maintain All Houseplants" mine die way too often and they are all in the same room—if that was a decor looking watering can or spray bottle I'd like that.
