We Need a Better Way to Import Sims Into Worlds
I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I honestly don’t understand why The Sims 4 doesn’t have a built-in way to directly import Sims from the Gallery into our world without extra steps.
Right now, if we want a Sim in our save file, we have to:
- Create a new household
- Move them onto a lot
- Or place them somewhere random in the world
On PC, some players use MC Command Center to add Sims directly into the world population — but console players don’t even have that option. So why isn’t this a base game feature?
We should be able to:
- Select individual Sims from the Gallery
- Choose “Import to World”
- Assign them as townies, NPCs, coworkers, classmates, etc.
- Add them without having to place them in a household or on a lot
It feels unnecessary that we’re forced to create households just to get Sims into the world. Not every Sim needs to own property. Some should just exist as part of the population automatically.
This would:
- Make world-building way easier
- Help console players who don’t have mods
- Reduce cluttered households
- Improve storytelling saves
Why do we need a mod to do something that feels like it should already be part of the game?
