Is there a good reason why we do not have pool tables in the Sims 4? I, and many other people, have been asking for pool tables since the Sims 4 release. I just don’t understand why pool tables, which we had in all of the previous versions of the Sims, is not in the Sims 4? Can anyone give me a good reason why?

Sims couldn't talk to each other, sit down and wait for the other to bowl nor did they build relationships and or fill social and fun at the same time as in older games. All that had to be patched in later, much, much later. It was a very rigid, restricted animation setup. Considering the times Sims in TS4 break away to go hug someone, and or go over to another table while at dinner with a Sim, and or stop to run off and go talk to a stranger, and or stop and start doing pushups, and or don't 'join' at all but leave the lot (which have all been player complaints even when Sims are playing games together, for the past seven years) I doubt any of us would be happy with the results.

Of course they are 'possible' but they would require quite a bit of animation. As for why they haven't done them yet, personally I think it's because the current team for Sims 4 is just focused elsewhere. They seem to be very focused on things that are important to the Twitterverse social media crowd and Pool/Billiards is probably not hip/fashionable enough for that crowd to care about.

Everyone keeps mentioning the foosball table. The Sims don't have to move around to take a shot. And has anyone actually watched if the Sims are playing an actual game of foosball with enough animation that you can figure out the score? I doubt it. Pool would require a very intricate game and animations rather than just a pretend game, it won't work for immersion if they don't get that right.

If there is to be a pool table like that from TS3, i'd like to see the autonomy priority not be on the same level of annoyance as the basketball court and ping pong. when you do something at home and there is more than one sim in the household the first priority after the instruction is given is to play ping pong, or if your sim cooks something and takes a while, then they go off to the basketball court because that's their highest priority.

They had pool tables in the sims 2 and 3 and many of the other sims console games like busting out for example. So yes, doable. I don't know why they haven't included one yet in the Sims 4, considering they have added table tennis and foosball. Probably just saving for a future stuff pack.
