Do you have any idea how complicated this would actually be to implement? This isn't just a matter of adding VR support or changing the camera to first-person. You're essentially asking for an entirely new game built on top of The Sims 4.
The game would need a completely different player perspective and interaction system, human-scale environments, VR movement and controls, physical interaction with Sims and objects, appropriate animations, collision and physics systems, haptic integration, and a whole new way for the player to interact with the existing simulation.
At that point, you might as well be asking them to develop an entirely separate game rather than simply adding an "immersive mode" to The Sims 4.
I completely agree that this would be technically complex. That is actually why my concept is not simply “add VR support” or switch The Sims 4 to first-person.
The proposal considers an optional immersive layer with its own interaction architecture, VR/haptic interfaces and compatibility framework, while the existing simulation remains the underlying world.
Whether that could realistically be integrated into The Sims 4, developed alongside it, or ultimately require a separate product is precisely the kind of technical question that would need to be evaluated by the developers.
My post is proposing the concept and the player experience, not suggesting that implementation would be simple.
