Please make sims more interactive !! For example,, they should be able to drive, we should be able to go to school with them, be able to go trick or treating with them, etc. I’m sure many more people...

@Psychotps, yes, I agree! In fact I've been stating that very same thing for years! 😃
I just know though, that some people aren't that patient as you might be and I don't want them to expect requests, even popular ones, to be incorporated into TS4, unless it seems like a request that would actually work with TS4's framework. 😇
@PugLove888 Well, like I mentioned elsewhere, I'm a programmer and systems analyst. I know very well how some things like that work. No sense demanding it in TS4 'cause it just ain't gonna happen. It would require a complete re-design of the entire core of the game. It's far too late to do it in 4, but if they are just in the concept stages of TS5 now, this is the PERFECT time to mention what we want.
@Psychotps, that might be why they changed the title of this section of the AHQ forums from "Game Information" to "General Discussion and Feedback". 😉 More feedback to make TS5 more likely to fit what players want. 😎
I'm all for feedback, but I've been helping here for several years and it changes the dynamic of this section . It used to be more about solving problems other Simmers have. Now it is more chit-chat and wish lists. Don't get me wrong, I love chatting about the Sims, especially with fellow players! 🥳. But I love helping people more! ❤️ But now I feel that chatting isn't much help, and I can't fulfill a Wishlist since I don't work for EA.😕 (These forums are supposed to be "Answers HQ", after all! 😇 ) So, I'm a bit disappointed … I think they should have kept the General Information section and added on the Discussion and Feedback section! :ealight_bulk: As it is, not only is it difficult to help people if they post stuff that doesn't need help, it hurts people when they actually do need help because their questions get buried further down the page or even onto the previous page, in favor of a wishlist and chatting. ☹️ If they would have kept the old section and added the new one, then I think more people could get the help they need, and still have the space allotted to suggestions! 😉
- @PugLove888 I'm very similar. I am an analyst after all. Figuring out problems is what I like to do. And I'm good at it. It's why I'm shying away from Reddit. Reddit's full of kids trying to get upvotes by posting pretty pictures and trying to start memes. Hardly any decent problems to sink my brain into.
@Psychotps, I agree! 🙂 I do like to see other's pictures, but my favorite ones are humorous rather than pretty! 😃 A long time ago I worked in retail, and I treat volunteering here as a retail job (that I do pro bono, much to my husband's dismay 😳 ) I am not that tech savvy so I don't help much at all on the Technical Issues section … that always left Game Information for me to help with, but sadly I find less to help with here than I used to, due to the changes. 😞
Yes! Problems can be like puzzles and can be fun to figure out (not always, but often enough! 😃 ) And helping other people get the most out of a game you love, so that they can love it too is always a win/win situation! :eahigh_file:
