What would a "dumb" trait look like? People can be intelligent but unwise, for instance. Would it look like the absent minded one did in TS3? Or would it portray a lack of intelligence...difficulty learning new skills (especially logic and rocket science) for instance? "Lacking common sense" would be very hard for anyone to make because it would determine the choices.....that the player constantly makes for the Sim. Players can already make "dumb" choices for their Sims deliberately (like having their Sim stay up late playing games or writing jokes on the computer and going to bed only 6 hours before they need to start their workday).

I never liked burglars, they are annoying because they came almost every household and just woke everyone up and did the same thing every time. But I think it would be cool to have some kind of villains in the game. Maybe even a superhero/villain pack for creating either villain or a hero. Both of them could have their own power path for character creation.
This! I'd rather have this. I'd rather play a fun super-villain than have an annoying NPC anyways. Heck, I'd rather play a simple burglar than have the NPC. The NPC is just a money sink (one or more alarms, plus anything replaced that they steal). There's no challenge. Just tedium.
Now if you played a burglar, who has to case a joint, break in, steal stuff, avoid detection, meet a contact and/or fence the stolen goods, etc. That could be fun. Though I'd rather play a super-villain if we're gonna have this kind of route.- @TheGoodOldGamer @Jadeleine
Great ideas.
I would love to create a custom npc burglar. And set a certain amount of skills on a burglar. Like what time the burglar, burgles the house. If you set picklocking doors skill level low. And the house doors and windows was locked. The burglar would have no success breaking in. - I was playing the Dreamers in my sims4 yesterday and mrs Dreamer caught on fire. I thought Ya something different. and I was hoping I had forgot the fire alarms. But I hadn't. she didn't burn to death. there was no twist in their lives. the extinguishers came on and put out the fire. she showered and was fine. I miss the twists of the burglars. no sleep and cranky for work and school next day. and being able to free the burglar from the police car. I can't remember the last time any of my sims were abducted. all the drama all the twists have gone. nothing unpredictable happens ever.
surely EA can patch these in the game, and we can have an on off switch like we do for autonomy, or ageing. I miss the sliders. were we can determine how much abductions we want or how often we want to be burgled. Oh ya we can't. I wish we could. we need Drama back. because the game gets boring very quickly. - Sigzy_29New SpectatorI really hope the burglar NPC can come back. Mask and everything along with burglar alarms, police NPC's etc.

Yeah, they could be humorous type of Villains, not too bad but Villains with Super Powers that are fun and has humor so maybe sensitive people would not get triggered. There is also other type of Villains than burglars like overall they could have some kind of fun skills like walking "invisible"
There could be new type of collectible of artifacts and treasure chests.
There could be Superhero and Villain styled outfits and objects for their hiding places. Superheroes could have other kind of powers like making sim happy or cleanse them from negative puffs and have power show off with villains (similar to vampires). They could create protective aura's on objects, houses and artifacts.
But I know that I am minority with this idea and most people just wanna see the same things over and over again, so its kinda me pushing my imagination out of comfort zone, but one can always dream :smile: ... - Sigzy_29New Spectator

It's not about the same thing over and over again, it's about the fact that, at least me, I prefer a more realistic thing like burglars, which are a staple/iconic NPC of The Sims, rather than lollyland super villains.
Not to mention super hero NPC's would just add to the happy rainbow place nauseam TS4 already has. - EA_LannaCommunity ManagerHey all I've done a quick clean-up of the thread. On this please don't bash others or their opinions and please aim to discuss the topic rather than people.

Fantastic suggestion imo ! That's great feedback @Jadeleine :) - For anyone that is bored to pieces - try the Murkland challenge. Create a new game and wipe out Oasis and turn it into Murkland. Its by far my favorite challenge to date - the lots and characters are fantastic and the very long challenge is def a challenge. Check it out! :)
Post Apocalyptic Murkland The Starter Challenge
(I have a save game that I have have wiped out all lots and characters in all worlds, I copy that to do challenges, testing or for builds. It takes a while, but its worth it to have a clean empty save to get creative with.)
