Re: 💡 Ideas > THINGS we want to see in The Sims 4 !!!

I have been playing Sims 4 for years and have a good amount of expansions and packs.. but what I noticed about base game worlds, is the lack of being able to swim in open water and unless we have seasons installed, a lack of being able to purchase meals from vendors..

So base game players can socialise, fish, dig for collectables, collect plants and go to Sylvan Glade/Crystal Caves in Oasis Springs.

It would be fair, realistic and excellent for gameplay if base game players could do much more in their worlds like open swimming, going to a beach, ordering food/drink whilst exploring their worlds. These are universal activities everyone can relate to.

With this in mind Sims 4 could have a basegame beachfront style world with the capabilities for swimming and beachfront activities. A 20 lot world players can really get immersed in.

Willow Creek and Newcrest are lovely, but a bit too similar and introducing a part-Sulani part San Myshuno style fun beach world to basegame will attract and retain a lot of new players who may be captivated enough to go further and buy packs and expansions.

    From the perspective of profitability, giving the basegame a new urban beachfront world could lay a good foundation for new Sims 4 kits or Maker kits

    • Hotel kit
    • Festival build kit
    • Waterpark essentials kit 
    • Theme park kit
    • Holiday essentials kit
    • Beach cafe kit
    • Beach sports decor kit like surfboards and paddle boards/Volleyball 
    • Beach vendors and stalls kit
    • Holiday souvenir shop kit

    ..etc..which would be very popular.

    Totalmente de acuerdo! Un mundo nuevo con diferentes solares jugables, con una playa y con mas libertad para vivir la experiencia. También sería ideal, un nuevo barrio con muchos edificios, el mundo de la ciudad, está bastante simple y sosa. Estaría bien una ciudad con más vida, con más cosas por hacer, en definitiva, más libre y jugable. Se necesitan cambios, sobre todo, ampliar un poco más el concepto que tenemos hasta ahora. Como la libertad y la jugabilidad amplia que teníamos en los sims 3.

    I have been following big city world for a while and the AI examples are exactly how I'd picture a beachfront urban world. I fully support that. It looks amazing.

    We can still hope. A basegame beachfront world would be just a 'world set dressing' with empty lots rather than a full expansion which would need considerable development for extra gameplay mechanics, cross pack compatibility, unique functional items and animations, not to mention hundreds of CAS and BB assets.

    Lots of players agree on that (me included):

    How about a new free world for the 25th Anniversary? | EA Forums - 11926884

    But given that it have been asked for so long i'm already losing hope on that. I kinda of wish that, at least, the pond system allowed us to swim if we make them deep enough. That way we'd able to do swimmable areas with lots for base game worlds.
