Adjustable Height and Animations That Fit For Sims 4 Please?

I'm right there with you on wanting this.

Right!?! It doesn't feel right that we can adjust everything including feet size but not height! Omg, I dream of height being added to ts4 & how much it would add and improve CAS!

I would like height sliders too, but I honestly at this point in time, don't see it happening. The game is going on 7 years, and yes they said TS4 has "many, many more years", but to implement height sliders, every single animation in the game would need to be adjusted for each life stage. (cooking at counters, opening fridges, riding bikes, showering, sitting, kissing, hugging, the list of animations that would need updated is massive. Just think about every single animation your sim does.

I don't think adding height sliders will bring in a ton more people to the franchise to reap monetary benefits for EA to justify the time and resources it would take to modify all of the animations. TS4 is synonymous with reusing existing animations as it is.

But, maybe if they're reading these Feedback threads it could be implemented into TS5 from the beginning.

I don't really care at all about Sims 5. I'm not going to buy it. I'm not going to play it. I like Ts4 so I don't care if ts5 has it. I want to see it in 4. I'm so sick & tired of seeing Negative Nancy's in the Sims community all saying that same thing. Maybe some of us like the current game & want to see it in this game. This thread is for people who want height in Ts4. Not a Sims 5 thread.

I'm right there with you on wanting height adjustment for sims in the game. Conan Exiles has this in character creation, in the form of a slide bar. Conan Exiles was fully launched on May 08, 2018. And it's height slider bar has been in the game ever since then. I have been playing Conan Exiles since 2018, and have yet to see problems with the different heights between characters in the game. So I know that it can work in a sandbox game. But the question is, will it work in The Sims? And there's only one way to find that out and that's by testing it out in the game. We do know that sims that are taller have no problems with hugging sims that are shorter than them through the interaction of older sims hugging sims that are children.

I've always wanted that in the game, too. Imagine finally being able to customize your favorite sims or celebrity sims to their correct sizes (without a mod). It would be so much more realistic and cool.

Good point. I also think pets can be hugged if I'm not mistaken by their sim owners, lol.

I probably won't either as I shudder to think about all the money (even on sale) you would have to invest into making it a fun game. Especially, if you already did that with Sims 4, smh.... Yeah, idk, they would have to add a lot more than what came with Sims 4 in order to even tempt me into considering it, lol.

I don't think this is going to happen any time soon. It's going to be a hella lot of work going over ALL animations again, not to mention that we have gazillions of bugs waiting to be fixed.

I just wish people who are for Ts5 & Paralives would keep those opinions for more fitted threads. This thread is for who wants it in 4, raise your hand, not really a discussion thread. This is a topic that I've been super passionate about for a long time and I want to give people a thread that gives them hope in seeing something fun and exciting to the game. I don't understand why there's always gotta be someone who poops on the coats at the party. I honestly don't care about Paralives either. Personally I think it's fake & isn't even real. (*Takes off my tinfoil hat*) Anyway, I really want to see height added to ts4 and I embrace anyone else who wants it. I agree with Ms.Katierose if I make myself in CAS next to Shaquille O'Neal that would make us the same height and would make me weigh like over 500+lbs at my body proportions. I'm only 5'6". I shouldn't appear like I weigh more than a basketball player because of the way height effects body proportions. You almost have to create illusion in order to get that effect. Skinnier sims look taller. Thicker sims look shorter but you put them in the same room and you just see thick & thin. It's immersion breaking for me. Anyone else? Honestly think about it! Have you ever experienced that? Or felt like you make THE SAME body types on every Sim because the height is limited & it's hard to expand outside a comfort zone when there's nowhere else to expand?
