Inclusion Ideas for Sims 4
As a Type 1 Diabetic, I feel like having an option for T1D would be amazing! It could be named something else and "insulin" could be replaced with the word "medication". The Sim with the disease woul...

Community ManagerI just really wish that they would make expansion packs cheaper. I say this for the less fortunate, like myself. I never have the money when it's on sale and it never seems to be on sale long enough. Another thing is that unless you buy the whole game during a sale, you pay on average $40 for the whole sims 4 just to get on there and find out that ONE expansion pack is the same price as the game. Absolutely outrageous 😞 please do better.
- @Purplearmybombs I wait for the packs/expansions to go on sale. I have yet to buy a pack/expansion at full price.
As someone who is classified as disabled (under UK guidelines) I use the Sims and gaming in general to relieve the boredom of having to rest up a lot.
I'd like to see different conditions added to the game to continue it down the path of inclusivity as I always champion as much diversity as possible. I root for everyone to have their authentic selves added to their game. I can't yet make my best friend for example, who needs a wheelchair. In a previous career I used to adapt work areas for staff with varying physical abilities and requirements and now have to do the same for my home so it would also be an interesting Build Mode idea too. From Tiny Living to Supported Living residential lot for example.
But one word of caution to any devs working on this is to watch those moodlets. For goodness sake devs, think of the moodlets! They already go way too heavy on them for everything. Those little blue lines pop up and I think, aargh, now what!?
If I could have moodlets IRL they would be something like:
Ouch
I'm too young to be limping this much
Did these stairs get higher?
Thank goodness for my robot vac
Wonder if the cat could fetch my meds
So imagine the moodlets stopping you from completing your tasks in the game. I mean, the homesick moodlet literally slows everything down and gets stuck, just to use an example. So if they are working on it, which I hear they are then before it's done think of how heavy those moodlet effects will be.
Speaking on behalf of the sims 4 community, we would love to have a game pack that enables the formation of bands, or at the very least the action to 'jam together' on musical instruments. If there was a 'band together' game pack that allows jam sessions, integrating skill or style based compatibility between musicians within jam sessions would be really interesting. By adding a 'jam together' action, depending on the skills of the musicians, the quality of the jam session and band success is impacted. Practicing together should impact success of the band along with marketing and reputation. If there is an audition, there could be criteria for the style/genre, reputation, skill of potential member like in sims social clubs. There are a lot of American blue grass, rock and roll, jazz, jam bands, noise rock and alternative bands that provide inspiration and tracks for this.
