We should be able to time travel.

This was something I was thinking of while trying to sleep last night and I couldn’t stop thinking about. I feel like sims should be able to time travel. We already go to different worlds with various cultures, I feel like it wouldn’t be hard at all to create a world with three options to time travel to. It could be during the Roman Empire, or have Pharos in Egypt, or even create an Old west. The neighborhoods can have their own challenges based on the era and of course you can have the option to change history. They can come up with so many story’s about how these historical sims turned out and how you can go back and alter their reality, either for the better or worse. We could even go back to the beginning of the goths if we wanted to and have little Mortimer and Bella meet as kids. Also I feel you should have the option to go back a day or week in your own sims lives. Sometimes you’re not happy with how something turned out and if you haven’t saved it in awhile then you’ve lost a lot of progress all because a sim decided to check out the koi pond or run around in a lightning storm. I seriously have so many ideas that keep flowing and I feel like it’d be so much fun to play.

  • What an awesome idea!

    I'm currently playing a different somewhat similar style game which can time travel (because my Sims game is crashing uncontrollably). I could see all kinds of practical applications in the Sims. Like when my Sims get moodlets stuck for 7 days (thank you to the inheritance phone call 👎). Or when plants won't grow. Or even just when I can't wait for Finchwick Fare...or when I didn't plant my crops early enough to harvest for Finchwick Fare!

    I can't see it with this incarnation of the game but maybe it's worth suggesting on the Project Rene threads too, for Sims 5.

    @KD2314 , I love time travel stories and period settings in games, books, tv, and movies. 🥰 But I think this would be very hard to implement as part of The Sims 4.  Like @simsplayer818  mentioned,  they might be able to do something like this for Sims 5/Project Rene, so there is that to hope for! 🤞 

    My main concern is that there are so many time periods to consider, and each one is different depending on where in the world that time period is set.  I actually would prefer this as a stand-alone Sims game that revolves around time travel!  Kind of like how Sims Medieval was, but maybe with the difference of each Expansion pack being a different era of time.  😎

    Also, there actually was time travel in the Sims 3!  In the Into the Future EP, your Sims could travel into the future and live in a futuristic town and even meet their decedents! 🥳
