Changes to Sims 4 I'd Like to See and Why:1) The Death Flower-The way it works in the Sims 4 is very annoying. It makes it impossible to play a single sim household because the only way to save your sim is to have another you control give the Grim Reaper the Death Flower. The Sims 3 Death Flower was the best because you just had to carry it in your pocket and if your sim dies they automatically give one to the Grim Reaper. No worries about death so I didn't mind all the ways your Sim could die in the Sims 3. In fact I was more willing to have my Sims 3 sims try everything because I didn't fear losing gameplay because they always had Death Flowers. If they could make it that your sim will automatically give a Death Flower if they have it and if they don't then a Family Member can or even make it so that an NPC might jump in and give the Grim Reaper the death flower. I believe that the complaints about death in the game would decrease as well.2) Toggles and Sliders! We Need More. Like No Births or Adoptions (Both Human and Pets)Weeks in a season 7,14,21,24Be able to choose how many weeks for each individual SeasonBe able choose Thunder Storms with or without lighting damage and with or without Sims getting struck by lightingMore Age length optionsMore Autonomy Option (Low, Medium, High)A Toggle that lets you choose to control your pet or not3) Sims-Height Sliders that work with the Genetics System (Human and Pets)Add a Tween Life StageFree The BabiesStatus Bars for Babies and Pets4) Fix What Is Broken!I could go on and on but I am curious as to what others think and what they would like implemented. I'm interested to see what others think would make the game more enjoyable for them and everyone else.

Agree with these. I also really want..Preschool and middle age life stage. Non mutual relationships... Let my kid hate her step mum who loves her.. let my teen have a crush on the neighbour without her liking him back etc.

Height slider is so crucial but we will have to wait for ts5 for that I am sure. Teen YA and A are identical. Quite disappointing.

I want to say open neighborhood. I really wonder if that's possible at all? I can live with loading screens but nothing annoys me like touching my neighbors house only to hit a load screen. That has bothered me for years ?? especially in apartments. If we have to compromise how smooth ts4 runs without lag it's not worth it though. I'm willing to take the load screen. I also would like more autonomy options or atleast a medium option.I still want to see an option in CAS to copy everything over to all categories. More than 8 sim household without having to use mods because well, they glitch so I'm back to using 8 sims. And if we can't have more than 8 sims it would be nice if pets didn't take up a space. I just want a house full of pets AND sims in my big family?? because of that I end up kicking pets out. Not controlling pets was a big loss to me. It was one of my favorite things to do. I really want that back although I don't believe we ever will. The Kraken. I need that in my waters like NOW ?

for ts4 & the franchise: cheaper packs, less dumb/misleading marketing, more time for devs to make content (packs can wait), hire more people to work on Maxisfor the game content: improved AI, emotions & traits rework, attraction system, interests, bug fixes, color sliders, open neighborhoods, toggles for no random townies spawning & story progression, allow us to control pets, possibility to have more than 8 sims on a household, customized styles, toggle for makeup on every outfit and many other toggles, CAW, more interactions, more things for our sims to do, etc. for the gallery: allow us to pick one sim from a full household just so we don't have to place all the sims, and give us a download history please mods inspiration: mccc, UI cheats, T.O.O.L, etc have very useful settings for the game and i think they could be added to the game.

I want a more than 8 sim household and bigger parties without needing to use mods. ALSO STORY PROGRESSION!!!!! I'm doing the 100 baby challenge right now and I'm sick and tired of having to go into each individual grown up child's cas and give them a spouse and make them have or adopt kids and choose their careers and level them up!!!

I also feel that libraries are pointless because they only have like a handful of books. Why are there not skill books. A library should have a large variety of books!

I agree with the comment on being able to control pets! In TS1,TS2 and TS3 it was my favourite pack of them all but in TS4 I ended up uninstalling Cats & Dogs because it is really annoying playing with pets. Graphically they are cute but the constant fearing of bath/fridge/etcetera and not being able to control them during sims work hours make me cranky.

Better AI, the current one is just awful and very very lacking. Better whims, i read that they even stopped adding them, and that is a bummer for someone who enjoyed wishes in sims 3. Being able to edit the open areas around lots. Oh, and Story progression! I wont mention things that i dont think can be added, but this list would be longer if i did.
