Sims 4 oversights until 2026
Heterochromia
Since cats and dogs have this option, we know it is possible.
Walking canes
At the very least, the elderly need them, adults and young adults having the option would not be bad either.
Mermaids
Mermaids need a skill tree, at least one occult-specific aspiration and a secret underwater world. If aliens can have Sixam and spellcasters can have Realm of Magic, Mermaids can have a world too. Also kelp nectar for a Horse Ranch crosspack feature anyone?
Aliens
Aliens need a skill tree and at least one occult-specific aspiration. A nectar of one the Sixam harvestables, as a Horse Ranch crosspack feature, wouldn't be bad either.
Plantsims
Plantsims should be permanent. They did well in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 for a reason.
Zombies
As long as they're like how they were in The Sims and The Sims 2, not the cross-game mess from The Sims 3.
Genies
Yet another missing occult.
EDIT HISTORY
June 2025: Fairies removed from the list, confirmed with the expansion pack Enchanted by Nature.
January 2026: Updated the title of the post and added things I forgot to add the first time around.
