I think its sad, that this game is about the players and not so much about the sims themselfs

But then when you tell people you want to play an actual game and not make everything up like its a dollhouse they say "It's your fault you find it boring, you are not creative enough".
Since when do we have to make such a huge effort to enjoy a game?

What would you all want? Honest question, because I liked the fact StrangerVille gave you a goal and actually something to do besides go to work or a date, but everybody seemed to hate it. Or Jungle Adventure gave you a goal to explore the jungle and try to survive it, and there's a real chance your sim won't make it unless you have the right stuff. Is this stuff you all would want expanded more on? Or something totally different.

Somewhat agree...
But to be honest Strangerville was a nice attempt but playing that pack felt like i was in the tutorial section before the game even starts for the whole time. It had no backround storie or challenge what so ever... So does it feel like you achieved a goal that you had to work on?

There was an attempt there, but when you make everything so freaking easy then its a failure.


I want what they advertised from the beginning. Smarter, Sims Deep Emotions. Doesnt sit well with me how they brushed that under the rug.
I find it very hard to play with autonomy on, because these sims act like maniacs in my game. I would not even wonder if they disable autonomy from the game like they disabled the whims at this point. Sometimes when a NPC visits and stands in front of the doorsteps they move so awkward its quiet crazy looking.

Would love to see more attributes to the traits. Favourite food. More types of TV Channels. Then you can also define what he likes to watch. Etc- In the Sims3 your book lover Sim would love watching the history Channel. Idk small things like that. But it feels like, i am asking for the world at this point, when the Sims4 sells so well, and thats also something carl mentioned.

Emotions. I mean at least make it so recent events and the moodlets that come with it are at the top front and define a mood for the moment. Make it that certain moods go away quicker and dont always reacurre. Yes Jimmy we know you like that painting, now get over yourself. I dont have to be reminded about that all the effing time. I would actually love if i can switch what moodlet is at the front tier. Because you can be happy but when something scary happens you are gonna be scared for a damn minute.
