Re: Things that could make a good difference for the Sims 4

I only comment on your wishes with my mindset (Gameplay)

Zodiac Signs

I am not a fan of this mechanic, never was since sims 1,2 and 3. Its force me to use zodiac signs what best fit for my Sims

Favourite Food/Drinks

I would love this. (My Sims have the pet drink as favourite drink. I would love to change this without mods)

Scriptet Storyline

I dont really know what you mean? Storyprogression? Or the scriptet events from sims2? I don't like it and only played in custom worlds because of this.

Biography

I would love it, for now we have only family biographies and I have my sims biography in my document folder.

Sentiments

I think there good. I do not want a deeper system of this.

Turn-On and Off /Wants and Fears

Only with toggle for on/off. I want to play the game as I want, not as the game want. (I do not play with whims, and never have. I was happy as the team gave up this system and I could toggle off. In sims 2 I used a mod for this)

Memories

I would rather not have this because of performance. Say you have over 300 played sims = over 300 Memories who the game needs to remember and save. The game struggles already to remember the family tree.

Open World

No thank you. I have rather a game wo runs smooth as a game who lag because Günther get stuck in a tree.

Rabbitholes

I am all for more Rabbithole. I would love to send my Sim away for 48 or more hours.

More Drama/Consequences

Only with toggle for on/off. I don’t like Drama and I don’t trust the game with it. Bad memories from 3 and bad autonomy behaviour. (XXX I heard you woohoo with *Occult* …! Hey, it is my spouse, and we are both occults, and you saw nothing! But you know? *Reputation drop*)

Better Babies

I do not play with Babies, but I would rather have the team fix bugs as make better Babies. (I mean babies just sleep, cry and.. crawl after XX months. I think toddler are enough for this?)

Interests

It is not the same as hobbies and favourites?

CAS

My wish is already fulfilled as the team gave us the option for male in women clothes/Hair and female in men clothes/hairs and non-binary option.

I think more opinion (Is this the right word for?) with focus of these wishes are better as different wishes her.

  • @daikoyuI don't like drama either, but it is something that we see or hear in life. And what i meant with a scripted storyline is that each household has a story like sims 2 and 3 and that the sims have a connection to another sim or household outside of their own households.

    I agree with you with more opinions and a custom world so we can make our own story.

    I think the problem with scripted events for EA-Households is that you can’t just delete this households without corrupt your game. I know Sims 2 was very sensible and bugged out if you delete EA-Households. Some player in sims 4 delete EA-Household instantly from the world because they want only her Sims in her world. I agree EA-Families should have friends and I think EA start with this in RoM and Snowy Escape.

    I know we have drama in life. But I think for me we have enough drama in RL, I do not need it too in Sims4 and really, I do not want it.  I just want to play the game and forget all the crude things who are goes wrong in the world. I know this is an unpopular opinion for sims 4.
