more ideas for sims 4
I have some ideas for the sims 4; - buy your own dokters clinic (like vet clinic) So you can have your own doctor practice! - university - people in a weelchair and more realistic diseases; -...
Forum Discussion
@Deborah21081987, I agree with @jpkarlsen about realistic labor! It is a long process, and very messy and painful. ๐ฎ๐ข It isn't pleasant, which is why they call it labor! ๐คจ The Sims is supposed to be a lighthearted game. That is why they did Sim labor in the way that it is in the game.
As for wheelchairs, one of the Sim Gurus has mentioned considering this and other disabilities. But there are many pitfalls with this subject in a game like TS4. First, they would have to completely make new meshes and animations for each age group, except for babies. Many existing buildings in the game (and ones other have uploaded to the Gallery) would not be accessible as they are right now.๐ข EA would have to put in a ton of work to make this even close to working. But then there are other disabilities that people also would want in the game. People have mentioned everything from wheelchairs, crutches, blindness, deafness, asthma, epilepsy, missing limbs, cerebral palsy, conjoined twins, and much more! ๐คจ No matter how many of these conditions EA puts in the game, someone will feel left out! ๐ขSo while they would be trying to be more inclusive, they would end up being exclusive. And then there is the fact that while many people would like these conditions to be in the game, many people with these conditions do not want it in the game because they play the game to escape from these real-life difficulties.๐ If EA were ever to have disabilities in the game, then they would have to do it with a lot of respect, and it would be best to incorporate this into a new game , perhaps The Sims 5 (if they make that) or in a separate game that is like the Sims but deals with these issues. ๐
As for Religion, this would probably create a lot of problems, because, again, there are too many religions to include them all. Also, all religions should be treated with respect, and this is extremely difficult to do in a lighthearted game. ๐คจ Also this could cause fighting in the forums about religion, and I don't' think anybody wants that! ๐
As for Create your own worlds, that would be a lot of fun! ๐ฅณ I know a lot of people would love this!
As for cars, there isn't much need for them in a world that isn't an open world like TS3 was. They could do it like they did for TS2 (which was a completely closed world) but there really wouldn't' be any driving, just Sims getting in and out of cars and pulling out of their driveways before disappearing into a loading screen. Most people would want to actually see your Sims drive to each location. ๐คจ Besides, some worlds like Forgotten Hollow (from the Vampires GP) don't' really have any worlds, so cars wouldn't work there unless they totally redid that town.โน๏ธ So, without an open world, there isn't much use for cars. And TS4 was built on a totally different engine than TS3 was. EA has said they would remake TS4 to have an open world. The reason that they didn't make TS4 with an open world is because the open world in TS3 would cause incredible lagging, even on the best computers -- and on many computers the game would grind to a halt! ๐ฌ I don't' want to wait 20 or more minutes for the game to load and then have the game be almost unplayable like it was in TS3.๐ If they could find a way to make an open world that would work on most computers, then that would be different , but for that to happen, it would have to be in TS5, if they are going to make that!
I would love more eyecolors! โค๏ธ
I would also love more animals and farming! :eahigh_file: I don't' know if they will do this, but a lot of people want farming in the game. It would be something new and would work nicely with a lot of the packs we already have! ๐ฅณ
Finally, it is possible that they are planning, or even creating University while we speak! ๐ I have no confirmation on this, just speculation. However, it is the most requested pack that we haven't' gotten yet, and University has existed in both TS2 and TS3! So there is a good chance we could get this! I hope it is more like the TS2 version because that one was extremely fun! โค๏ธ
Happy Simming! ๐ฅณ
I'd like to see sims have some illness, doesn't need to be any specific illness in real life though. Just some simple illness and make the sims unable to go outside, unable to perform certain actions, etc.
As for Religion, I don't think they need to include real-life religion. The Sims 4 Team can create a fictional religion that only exists in The Sims world (for examples, Yoba the ancient guardian deity in Stardew Valley games). By this way, The Sims 4 Team can avoid any problem and no one will fight or argue in the forum since the religion is fictional and unspecific. I'd like to see Religious and Atheist traits.
Create Your Own World seems fun to me. But I don't know how much work needed to make that happen.
I wished to see cars, but then I realize the world isn't open like The Sims 3. We won't be able to see sims driving around. But nevermind, I still expect to have real cars (not a toy cars, scaled bigger and then put on the lots) in the Buy Mode.
More color is always a big YES!
I've seen many ask for Farming Packs. Hope this happens, it will be fun to see close-to-nature gameplay.
I think they already working on this. I can't go to the Youtube comment section without reading a comment requesting University packs.
@AndyZhang2896, I'm guessing that either you don't have the Get to Work EP, or that the illnesses in that pack aren't challenging enough for you. The Original Poster wanted handicaps and diseases, though, not illnesses. But you are correct in that our current illnesses don't really restrict you from doing anything (you still can go to work or school) unless you have too many other negative moodlets.
I do like your idea for a vague made-up religion, so nobody gets offended. ๐ Perhaps this is what the OP @Deborah21081987 had in mind, but she hasn't replied back, and I just assumed she meant real religions. ๐ค
I do wish they would have the Creat A World since so many people want more worlds in their game. We had that in TS3, and I thought it was hard to use. I'm sure if I had instruction I would have liked it better.๐ณ But I know a great many people loved it! :eahigh_file:
I wouldn't mind nicer looking cars for our driveways. I'm just afraid that even with non-functional cars most people would be really angry. ๐ You and I would be satisfied, but Twitter would go haywire with outrage that the cars were non-functional! ๐คจ TS2 had cars that our Sims would get in and pull in and out of the driveway. The car would then disappear and you'd get a loading screen and show up wherever you selected to travel to. I think you could also woohoo in them. I know you could fix them up and resell them ! They had that aspect in TS3 as well! In TS3 the cars would travel through the world , but the Sims would teleport into and out of the cars! It was kind of weird! ๐
Well, they might be working on a Farming pack.. I really hope they plan on doing one! But just because people are talking about it in the YouTube comment section doesn't mean that EA is planning on doing it. People are also talking about how they wish they would bring back open worlds,. cars, the CASt color/pattern wheel, babies that aren't objects, pre-teens, etc., but most of those will never be brought into TS4. However, there is always a chance that EA will hear and see these requests , and what they can't do in TS4, they might put into TS5, if they make a TS5! ๐ค๐ฅณ
Finally, one of the Sim Gurus Tweeted a teaser that we might be getting a new staircase type! (Most likely spiral). :eahigh_file: This was asked because spiral stairs seem like they would go great with a Magic pack, which we are getting in a few weeks with The Realm of Magic Game Pack!
@MsSamLStory, The Sims 2 is my favorite version of the Sims!!! โค๏ธ It was fantastic for stroytellers and had phenomenal gameplay!๐ฅณ Each Sim would collect both good and bad memories and you would have memory markers in their information panels that you could reference. You could also compile your pictures from your game and put it on your Sim page and make like a story book for others to read! I had so much fun with this! The gameplay also focused more on events and would have these cutscenes for things like a first kiss or a baby being born! :eahigh_file:
But, even if they were to add a feature like this, I don't think it would be anywhere near as good as the TS2 gaming experience was. But since you never played TS2, you would have noting to compare it to! ๐ I think this would be a step in the right direction.๐ฅณ However, since many of us have been playing TS4 since it came out 5 years ago, I'd rather them have done this sooner as many of our most played families wont' be able to have their memories recorded. ๐ข Still, I would enjoy something like this. โค๏ธ
Finally, I don't think it is a good idea to encourage people to "spam" EA with suggestions. It is better to discuss suggestions within the community (but don't spam the community either) and then post the suggestions either here (like you did), or on the official TS4 Forums : https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/934752/feedback-share-with-us-what-you-would-want-to-see-in-the-game

@PugLove888 Didnโt mean for that to be taken too seriously, though I do get anxious and obsessed over ideas and start sharing them at impulse. Which...I guess is spamming even when itโs not done in the exact same place, soz. Should I remove it before someone really does that?
Hi @MsSamLStory I realize Mods are not for 'everyone' but just thought I'd mention, that the mod MCCC allows for what you're mentioning, (stories) mods, if kept up to date for your game (and you may only need a few) are not difficult to maintain, the MCCC, for example, is kept up to date, and here are some tips on maintaining your game with mods and cc, if you do choose to use a few of them. Zerbu also has something called 'Experiences' that I used to use.
@Deborah21081987 There's also:
- A Private Practice Mod, (also has a current update) by SimRealist
- There are also various mods/cc for farming available, like fruit/veg stalls, by Alex Croft @ ModTheSims (functional Grocery Sets) and at TSR soloriya makes a lot of amazing Rustic Style food/produce stands and items. Also, farm animals (static) I think, but are available to 'sell' and made by Kawaiistacie. ('my first Animal Farm')
- A Get to College mod, and a Go to School mod (they are not compatible together though, if you choose one, stick to just one)
Hope this helps a bit, and
Big fan of Mods and cc, there are some awesome artists out there, making wonderful ways to customize your Sims 4 Game!
I have no connection to EA
@PugLove888 I don't own Get to Work and I don't want it. Because it contains one thing that I hate so much, aliens. I hate occult, especially from what I heard, aliens sometimes kidnap a sims and there's a chance they get pregnant. It's a big NO from me.
Yeah, pretty sure many people will say "This is not what we ask, we want FUNCTIONAL cars!". But even if it can be driven, I think it is pretty pointless. When we can travel around the world by pressing 'M' then choose a destination, why wasting time for walking to the car, get into a car, then waiting for the cars going into loading scene. Such a waste of time. But I don't mean I like the idea of pressing 'M' to travel around, it feels unrealistic. I prefer something like The Sims 3.
If EA wants to make a car that can be driven around, the world should be open, without loading scene traveling from neighborhood to another neighborhood.
Yeah, it's impossible to realize everyone's wish. There are too many requests. But important things that TS1, TS2, and TS3 have, I expect it to present in The Sims 4 too. What I feel now is some content gets removed in TS4, for examples, TS3 Island Paradise have Resort Lot Assignment but we don't have it in TS4. I really hope they bring it back. (Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm new to The Sims game. Beside TS4, I only have TS3 Base Game without EP, never played TS1 nor 2).
Nice news! Did you know about this?

There's probably an update coming before Realm of Magic released. I hope it's an update with spiral stair for the base game (modern style, classic style, etc). Then the Realm of Magic will include magic-themed spiral stair. It will be sad if you need to purchase RoM just to get spiral stair. But I don't think they will do something cruel like this LOL
*Sorry if there's some grammar error. I'm not a native English speaker.
@AndyZhang2896, what "babies that aren't objects" means that people want babies that Sims can carry around , like real babies.โค๏ธ People want babies that they can walk around the living room with, carry up or downstairs, hand off to another Sim, and maybe even take for a walk in a stroller! As babies are now, they are tied to their bassinets. All interactions are done in front of the bassinets and in fact, to do anything with the baby you don't click on the baby, you click on the bassinet! ๐คจ
I understand about not wanting Get to Work because of Aliens. There are a lot of people who don't like supernatural aspects in their game. (Although, technically the Sims that are abducted and end up pregnant are really just supposed to be surrogates for the resulting child since the baby ends up being full Alien and not half Alien/half Human. But still, that isn't exactly comforting either! ๐ฎ๐) I only mentioned Get to Work because you mentioned that the Sims 4 needed illnesses, and that is the pack that has them.๐. EA probably won't be adding any more illnesses that are like our real-life ones since Get to Work already has them.โน๏ธ (The exception is the Rabid Rodent illness that comes with My First Pets Stuff Pack, but that is more of a big event, and not at all like the illnesses in Get to Work. )
Funny, I never press "M" to travel! I always use the scroll wheel on my mouse to widen the view until the travel symbol shows up and then click on that! ๐ I totally forgot that we could use "M"!๐ณ
EA has stated that TS4 will not get an open world. It was built on a totally different engine than TS3 was. I think it would take so much work that they would just have completely redo the game,๐ in which case they might as well create The Sims 5! ๐คจ So, sadly I don't think you would end up liking the cars they would add if they ever add them to the game. ๐ข I don't mind the loading screens since they only take 30 seconds to 2 miniutes at the most. The open world of TS3 caused the game to go so slow that it would eventually grind to a complete stop! ๐ ๐ It would take 10 or more miniutes for the game to unfreeze, but sometimes it would be permanently stuck unless I shut down the game and rebooted.... which would take another 15 -30 min to shut down and then another 20 minutes (at least) to start up again, and then the game would still be incredibly laggy! ๐ฌ So maybe, after all that , my Sims would reach their destination an hour later in real life, as opposed to the 2 minutes maximum that it takes in TS4! ๐ If we have to go through this again then I don't want an open world. An open world is pointless if we cant' play the game! ๐ They say that due to our computers being better today than they were when TS3 was the current game, that TS3 runs better than it ever did back when it was the current Sims version. If that is the case then that would be OK!๐ But that still doesn't' solve the problem of TS3 having a bunch of lots with no Sims on them. I would always try to send my Sims out to a park or some other venue, but no other Sims would be on the lot by the time I got there and they would usually never show up!โน๏ธ They all were elsewhere in the giant open world. ๐ At least with TS4 when my Sims go to a venue there are always other Sims there, or they arrive almost immediately after my Sims get there! :eahigh_file:
Yes! You are correct in that TS3 Island Paradise EP had resorts you could vacation at or even own!๐ฅณ But it took soooooo long for the Island Paradise to load (one of the few times you would find a loading screen while playing TS3) that I usually didn't have my Sims travel there too often! ๐ข
TS2 was by far the best version of the Sims for playability and gameplay! โค๏ธ๐ฅณ TS3 had a lot of fantastic ideas, but they didn't work , or if they did work , the game itself didn't work! The gameplay in TS2 was deep. I would play for hours and hours and never get bored. TS3 I just yelled at all the time. TS4 is somewhere in the middle. TS1 was so different, since your Sims didn't age. It was static, but very charming! โค๏ธ
Thanks for the video! ๐ While I did read about there probably being a surprise on TS4's anniversary, I hadn't seen this video, and I'm sure other people reading your post hadn't heard the news! :eahigh_file:
I agree with your assessment on spiral stairs. If we interpret what Sim Guru Romeo stated correctly, then I think that spiral stairs will be introduced in a patch before Realm of Magic is released, and that Realm of Magic will have a more "magical" looking version. ๐ This is what they usually do with new features like this. They did similar things with Gardening in the patch right before Seasons, and with the glass roofs as well! โค๏ธ I can't see them only having spiral stairs in Realm of Magic , since they know that some players won't buy it due to its theme, much like yourself!
And don't worry! I would never have known you weren't' a native English speaker if you hadn't mentioned it! You write in English better than many native English speakers! ๐๐
Happy Simming! ๐ฅณ
@PugLove888 Oh, can you explain what you mean by "babies that aren't objects"?
