Changes to Sims 4 I'd Like to See and Why:

It seems like a no brainer but Aspirations really drive a sim and like others have said - Why is there not a Mid Life aspiration? Why isn't there an Old Age aspiration?

What exactly is a tween and how would they have any unique interactions, skills, or anything that would make them different from teens or children?

Hey there! Just a quick FYI: I moved this thread to the TS4 Game Feedback section. :)

Well they would have like crushes, less likely to play with toys and jungle gyms but still like to, get a jumpstart on skills like charisma, comedy, handiness, programming, fitness, painting, gardening, & cooking (with parents). They could do weekend odd jobs like mowing lawns, pulling weeds, keeping toddlers entertained, and walking dogs. The tween age 9-13 would have more mood swings and push boundaries far more often.

I want:

Gameplay things:

Pet bunnies. They've never been in a sims game. I have had two amazingly affectionate and silly bunnies. It bums me out there have been no version of a pet bunny in the entire history of the game.

Pet birds. They have been in every sims game except TS4.

Fairies because I love fairies ngl.

More social events. Anniversaries, Family gatherings, funerals, engagement parties, baby showers, slumberparties for children & teen, movie nights.

I honestly don't care about babies or cars. Toddlers are high maintenance (mainly because they are so buggy), so I'm not sure I'd actually want another high maintenance stage. Regarding cars, I'd rather have horses. That would add more than just animations.

----------------------------------

CAS things:

Hair & Eye colour sliders and/or added hair colours

More CAS presets

Fixing the phantom boobs present on most feminine tops on masculine bodies.

More eyebrows

More make-up

Pronoun settings

More voices.

-----------------------------------


Options:


Dificulty settings. Sliders for base average pay from careers, student loans, relationship gains, lot value. that could either make the game easier or harder based on negative or positive multipliers on the base value. I shouldn't have to limit the features that I paid for, in order to find a modecum of dificulty in the game.

Occult population settings. I want more occult events. Some people want less. Make both happy with a setting for less/none/more

EXTREME AUTONOMONY. Basically just add more autonomy settings for people who want less. I want more. I want autonomous proposals and stuff.

-------------------------------------


That's my list ^^

I want:

BUILD MODE/LOTS
-------------------

- Paths and roads that touch the edge of the lot! It looks really bad when your path has a gap in it!
- The ability to separate lots. Like you use a tool similar to the custom room one to draw an area that other sims can live on/rent. Or just selecting a room and clicking something that makes it rentable. Then other sims could move in and pay rent to the lot owner. You could make a row of townhouses, a functional hotel, a custom block of flats... anything!
- Keep the swatches but add a colour wheel!

CAS
-------------------
- Hair colour wheel!
- Saved outfit/makeup wardrobe!
- This isn't my idea but I think it's great: instead of outfit categories, tag outfits with multiple tags, so you can have cold temp sleepwear, clothes to wear when its raining, clothes to wear when doing different activities, clothes tagged as indoor/outdoor/home lot/library etc!

SIMS
-------------------
- Better babies - I want to be able to carry them about, put them in high chairs, play with them, go on runs with them in prams!
- Preschoolers and Tweens! (BUT these lifestages should be optional, so you can turn them off)
Preschoolers:
- Do most things that kids and toddlers can
- very short time spent as preschooler, maybe a week or two
- can be signed up for preschool to get a headstart on learning
- taller than toddlers & need less attention
Tweens:
- taller than kids
- going through puberty (Optional! They can get spots and 1st periods etc)
- stroppier than kids, more likely to be rude
- can do most adult skills
- shorter lifestage than kid by a week or two

PACKS
--------------------
- Businesses! Manage a hotel, buy a shop and sell food/items, work from home making orders for your online store etc
- Safari! Travel to an African safari camp - you can go glamping to a luxury retreat or bring your own tent to one of a few designated areas! Maybe you'll even spot a hippo or a family of warthogs walking through the camp. (Be warned: petting the hippo is not a good idea). Your sims can go on rabbit hole safaris and down the river, through the forest and out on the savannah. They'll come back with photos and maybe a moodlet. While you're there, feed the giraffes at a sanctuary, go for romantic non-rabbit hole boat ride, or even get married in the savannah! The best part of this pack would probably be the CAS and Build mode items. Natural woods, earthy colours, cute kids toys, gorgeous wallpaper showing jungles with monkeys and leopards etc.
-CHEAPER PACKS!!! They are waaaay overpriced! Even my loaded friend thinks so.

GAMEPLAY
--------------------
- Wild animals like foxes, rabbits (pet rabbits too!), birds etc
- Better romance!!
- Someone else already said this but relationship bars should have a button to turn of mutuality. You can be head over heels in love with someone, but they might not even know you!


Wow, that's longer than I thought it was going to be!
