Make Simology panel better

I think it's one of those issues people, I'm sure, suggest improving: the game's Simology panel. With so many tabs it's becoming chaotic and there should be a way to organize it better.

  • This is something the team should look into especially with Lovestruck. 

  • agreed, it needs to be organized more, i hope the team sees your feedback

    i can't put my finger on it but i've always thought the "Simology" looks so chaotic and not at all organized

  • I also wish it could be more minimalist (like the sim's profiles?)

  • I'd like to see the panel more condensed, it's got a bit out of hand, especially with the full game and in particular Growing Together which adds a lot. Some things should be closer to the top too. The Fame section is too far down the list and on console it keeps zooming past it. Every time I want to check progress I get a tad irritable. Each section is way too big too. Milestone indicators don't need to be that size. It could definitely use some improvements.

  • can we have better simology in basegame? (and existing packs too)

    the simology we know now looks all over the place and looks so chaotic like it's disorganized

    i stole this screenshot on internet but i want something just like that, it looks more organized, we'll find things in no time in basegame if we have simology in a improved version

     

    you know i was thinking:

    • the milestones can be in the memories category
    • likes/dislikes in general should be in the preferences categories (unless you have a better name for this)
    • relationship wise (Lovestruck) should have its own category (i can't think up a name though)
    • personality traits should be in the Personalities/CAS traits category
    • bonus trait should have its own category too (the ones you'll get when you finished the aspirations)
    • the ones that comes with "Get Famous" should have its own category too...maybe reputation category?

    do you guys have any ideas how the simology panel could be handled better?

     

    i hope the team takes notes on this after seeing my ideas📌

  • Please, The Sims Team, remake the Simology menu in the game. We can't stand the way it is right now, filled with tabs. It's a messy mix of different systems all crammed into one place, and it's leaving all of us confused and very frustrated.

    Right now, we have modders like Simmatically who have done an incredible job redesigning the menu in a way that makes everything much more organized. 

    And to make things even better, we’re about to get a mod that categorizes personality traits — something that’s also VERY important, considering how traits are currently cluttered even within their own category. There are situational and temporary traits all mixed together, making it hard to navigate and understand what’s actually relevant to our Sims.

    Please bring something like this to us players, we really need more organization!

    We share the same picture with our simology ideas and i agree with everything you said

    The simology looks very chaotic right now, it needs to be organized with each having their own categories so we can find them like right away

    The simology we have right now is all over the place

    In term of reorganization, I would move these infos to the other panes :

    • As Goal and Achievement : 
      Lifestyles, Milestones and Sim Stats could be with Bucket List and Aspiration
    • As Social : 
      Neighborhood Action Plan (Influence points), Family Tree, Reputation and Fame could go to the Relationship pane
    • As Career and Education : 
      University Degree could be with Career

     

    Simology pane could be focused on the personality :

    • Traits
    • Likes & Dislikes
    • Turn On & Turn Off
    • Sexual Orientation
    • Romantic Boundaries
    • Character Values (Toddler, Child and Teen)
    • [NEW] Gender Options > Clothing Preference
  • Would love to see a more organized simology panel. I do use mods but shy away from anything changing the user interface.
