Sims 4 Suggestion for Developers: More Save Files on Console, etc.
Hello, I love The Sims 4 and The Sims franchise and spin-off games. I have a few gameplay suggestions for the developers that may help Sims 4 players, *but only if implemented correctly*.
Console players *really* need more Save Game Files. 10 is not enough for frequent players in a 10-year-old game. At least, give us 25 saved games plus 1 auto save (like in Sims 3). Additionally, we could use a Library Expansion, room for at least 100 more Sims, lots, etc. in the library. There is a decade of content now. This paragraph of suggestions is much more important than the next one I will mention, in my estimation. There is also less to say about it because it is straightforward.
The lesser suggestion: Please include REDUNDANCY and flexibility in this game as often as possible, because a system of REDUNDANCY in Sims gameplay may help. For example, I encountered an unfamiliar glitch this month involving Missing Menus and a sudden inability to Purchase Books, Order Medicine, Order Delivery from Zoomers, etc. However, if there were alternate methods in the game (without mods or CC, console player here) of Purchasing Books, meds, and other Delivery items, then perhaps this glitch wouldn't "break the game." Another example, I recently encountered another glitch (or unwanted update) stacking one sim's face at the bottom of the user interface above the others on an unmodded game, and I don't like it. However, if I could drag and drop the Sim's portrait on the UI back to the bottom to line up in a row with the others, I could continue as usual (though I am also afraid that a sloppy or hasty implementation of these suggestions could break the game even more) and etc. If most features are not "bottlenecks" with only one way to do something, there will be more workarounds for players. Of course, with fewer errors this would not be necessary. Another glitch was not being able to restore a burnt stove from Live Mode, without having to enter Build Mode to sell it and buy it or another stove again, etc. However, this glitch is less severe because you can still replace the stove, it is just inconvenient. Workarounds are not the ideal, but perhaps 2 or more ways of accomplishing a task would help. This game already has this for some features, but many "game breaking" features are "bottlenecks" that we can only accomplish in one way. Console players in particular, are in need of workarounds.
