Ideas and Ideas (Sims 4)
I'm going to list a few ideas that I feel would be great adds to this game and reused for Sims 5. 20+ sized families, how about this as an of the wall idea, instead of an 8 limit family why don't y...

@Seanyboy41895 while I think most people would love to have the ideas you suggested, some of them won't be able to be put into the Sims 4.
20+ sized families would be very unstable, especially for those on lesser computers!😓 I do think it would be a fun challenge, and I've seen mods in the past that allowed you to do this, but it was extremely chaotic and depending on how many Sims you added, it caused the game to crash.
I would love separate slots for pets, but much like having 20+ households, this would cause the game to be unstable.
Not sure if a Create A World tool would work as well with the engine the Sims 4 runs on, but I could be wrong.
I think we might get another world similar to Newcrest where there are just empty lots to fill. I'm just guessing though. But in the last Behind the Sims stream a few weeks ago I think they did hint at something that sounded like we might get more land or another world like Newcrest. But it still might be something else, so we will have to wait and see!
Cars could work like they did in the Sims2 (which also didn't have an open world) where you would still have a loading screen, but your Sim would look like they were traveling in a car, instead of walking, riding a bike, riding a broom, or riding a horse. I wouldn't call teaching others to drive a "hustle" since I don't think people make much money with teaching others to drive, especially since many people teach family members to drive without charging anything. But The Sims 3 had an option to teach a teen to drive, which was a nice touch! You just didn't make any money from it!
In order to make money from cars, the best option would be to bring back the ability to fix up an old, run-down car and sell it for a nice profit! It was a lot of fun in the Sims 2 and could earn your Sims some nice cash! Now that's a hustle! 😉
Superheroes are basically just modern versions of people with special powers, but instead of being a Vampire, Werewolf, Fairy, Mermaid, etc. you can get more creative with their powers. (But I prefer the clothing of traditional supernatural Sims like Vampires! ). Still, the creative possibilities that aren't tied into lore do allow for more freedom of what type of powers a Sim can have would be a lot of fun!
A barbershop/hair salon pack would have to have some fantastic hairstyles and beards to go along with the gameplay!
Many people want team and individual sports in the game!
And yes! we need a pool table!
I would love some new fish in the game.
And I know a lot of people have been asking for hotels in the game and the ability to run your own! I know I would love that!!! 🥳🥰
Finally, even if we can't get all of these in the Sims 4, we still might get some of them in the upcoming Project Rene (which may or may not end up being called the Sims 5). Hopefully most of these ideas will be included!
If you want to talk about this for the future, you might enjoy talking about it in the section of AHQ that is devoted to Project Rene: Project Rene | The Sims | Forum | EA Answers HQ | EN
Happy Simming! 🥳
@Seanyboy41895 I've created 20+ families by splitting them up into different households and then adding their children and pets later. The adults are all related.
So for example the Soldado family have grandparents, aunt, grown children. One Soldado marries a Marquetta with his child and mother. Another Soldado marries a Reyna who has parents and a brother and half sister with a different Mother. Another Soldado marries a Soto who has a brother. Children are added later to each household once they are split off and they have to introduce themselves to the adult family members once I add them, but it does work. It does generate Aunt/Uncle/cousin and grandparents relationships.
I think as well it would be problematic to do it all in CAS as @PugLove888 points out.
I understand the one about 20 plus families, it could crash however I have it on console. Making the minimum of. 10-12 wouldn't be too bad.
I'm full of ideas on games like this
