Nothing for Sims to do!

There is literally Nothing for the Sims to do. Lots of objects but no interaction! How about a pool table, a rollercoaster at the lame amusement park you gave us? How about shows, concerts, movies, and theaters!? Allowing the kids to cook? Cars? Volleyball, golf? Less obsessive behavior about shoveling or gardening. Less grieving time? I love playing this game, but I am tired of the Sims not being able to do anything other than go to dinner, the museum, or the disco. Definitely need to step up the games for the kids. Not sure why they haven't died of boredom by now. Takes to long for homework to be done! Takes too long to learn to ride a bike. Your newest addition to Gibbi Point is too extra. Should already have staff that we don't have to add. Nothing to do in Any of the towns you put in. No large lots to build on. College life takes too long to graduate. How about dance lessons...Waltz or ballet? Food cooking selection sucks, Lasagna, Alfredo, and French fries? More water sports: canoe, row boat?

  • RiseGrace1​ you might be interested in Royalty and Legacy. That has learning to Waltz on a special dancefloor and it has sailboats. I'm finding it to be the most playable pack for a while just in terms of the new gameplay. I've been a bit immersed in it. My Sim has been learning to swordfight, hunting pirate treasure and working her way up in society. 

    The movie theatre was added in Anchorpoint Wharf with Growing Together along with some more much needed activities for kids. I like the treehouse and I have some lucky little Sims that have the playground equipment from Adventure Awaits in their back garden. I was a bit bored with the usual stuff.

    But if you're finding that the game needs some livening up a bit there are some Sims challenge suggestions in this section of the forum that might appeal to you:

  • I think you need to explore the game more because there is absolutely a ton of things for Sims to do. There's a movie theatre in Growing Together, you can also build your own movie theatres with movie hangout and custom lot venues from adventure awaits. Kids can already help with cooking by using the Cooking Together feature. Sims can do homework faster by earning specific gameplay rewards. There's tons to do in towns that they have added in. Sounds to me like you just haven't explored fully what things you can do. You can make playgrounds, dog parks, cat parks, you can send Sims to do winter themed sports with Snowy Escape, explore the jungle in Jungle Adventures and find treasures. You can send Sims on trail walks in multiple packs. Your Sims can order French fries at Cafes and Bars, there are rideable boats in Island Living and Adventure Awaits. You can set up vacation days for familiy outings in the calender, have picnics in the park. You can reduce grieving time by sending Sims to grief councelling or by doing things that can reduce the grieving time. You actually have to do these things yourself and not just expect the game to do it all for you.
