Ideas for Sims4
I know this is likely already talked about elsewhere on here, and I have seen and been part of many conversations across the internet about what you’d like to see in game or some ideas you all have about what should be changed or added to existing packs, but I wanted to start my own post so I can see a lot of those ideas in one place. I’ll list a few of my own.
1.) I’d LOVE to see the criminal careers expanded and their arrests and stuff be more consequential to the game. They have a record and can leave behind evidence. Maybe as they get better in their career or criminal activity they leave less evidence behind. I’d also love to see them maybe hold grudges against the cops who arrested them and stuff. I’d wanna see more option for criminal activity too. To have things make more of an impact in game, we could have personality traits or preferences to people who don’t like criminals or don’t trust them once they’ve done something bad and it takes a lot for them to trust them again. We could have an app or website too that tracks the criminals in your area too. Maybe you can drive them out if you hate them enough? Idk, that would be hard but super fun.
2.) I think the police station and hospital should be visitable locations on the map, as well as locations that are able to be edited like in the older games, as well as the high school in the current game.
3.) Cars. I know, this one is often talked about but I’ve never seen it talked about in detail. I know this is wishful thinking as we have many issues with bugs and gameplay, but in a perfect sims world I’d wanna be able to make race-tracks and make racing and being a mechanic actual careers. And maybe death but racing a thing. You can race as a professional or as an amateur, but if you do it as an amateur maybe there are consequences like in real life.
4.) Daycares. PLEASE. Make this a thing. Home daycares and separate buisnesses. Please.
5.) African and Middle Eastern inspired worlds. With the whole shebang, clothes, architecture, food, etc. make multiple worlds as these parts of the real world vary and are different from one another. ESPECIALLY in the African continent. Add careers and things that are maybe super popular or common over there.
6.) Whenever we get a career type added to the game, make it an option as a major in the universities. At least the ones that would make sense. I can see how this would be a challenge since University is its own pack and not everyone is gonna have the other packs, but I do think to some degree this would be helpful.
7.) I have no idea how they’d do this and maybe this would be a better idea for Sims 5 but I’d love to see the world maps and worlds be structured similarly to the old ones. Walkable sidewalks and roads. I don’t mind rabbit holes necessarily but I like how in some of the old games you can see the neighborhood outside your house and pretty much immediately interact with it. Make the terrain and separate lots however you’d please.
8.) Maybe this would be kind of useless but I’d love to see the option for a supermarket. You can make owning a shop, working at a shop or managing a shop career options. It could be cool to make it optional to have to go shopping for groceries. I think it would be a cool way to also introduce food and things from around the world. I just think it would add a touch of realness to the game.
