Do you want INTERACTIVE CLIMBING EXCURSIONS?

Interactive mode doesn't really sound like sims to me and not particularly interesting addition either for how I play. There are lots and lots of other things that I would like to see improved/developed for this game rather than interactive mode. I want to see an improved romance system with preferences, I want more randomness and bad consequences, I want more age specific things to do, I would like an emotion overhaul and traits that mattered more, just to mention a few things. I appreciate you put time into describing the idea, just think it's for a different type of game.

So, this "interactive mode" sounds a lot like quick time events typically used to keep users engaged during cutscenes. At worst, given them an illusion of control.

The Sims does not need quick time events to keep people from walking away from the game. It has a lot more control than a throttled narrative game or flat out visual novel, where quick time events are the one step away from being a movie.

If quick time events were ever introduced, I would avoid those activities like the plague. Not to mention not purchase any packs that use them. Rarely do I encounter this, but it would be a situation where I would complain quite a bit if it was a retroactive update that I would then have to deal with.

I would be somewhat open to proper minigames, but that is more of a Sims RPG sort of thing than a family life simulation.

I don't want my sims climbing experience to depend on my own ability to play the mini-game. I want it to depend on that specific sim's climbing experience...

I think that's a great idea. Now, my Sim and his wife bombed out on the climbing excursion, but they got to the second level before the blizzard hit and by the time they slept, the clock ran out. Part of that was my own fault, (my first time taking this excursion, and although I noted the clock I had not idea it was BEAT the Clock!) My bad. She fell and was badly injured, so I suppose it was a good idea they went home to their five kids. I would enjoy the different stages. A) to help Sims (and the player) earn experience on just how-to and B) for the players who already find it so easy, they get bored.

No. Plenty of action games out there

I would prefer there was no time limit AT ALL, it's my game, if I want my sims to take a full week to climb the mountain, then I should have that ability. I don't play games that make me rush and get anxious. So I have not tried the mountain climbing excursion yet, and after reading about it, I probably never will.

Miss click. I meant to say no.

I’m honestly not sure if I’d want it or not it could be interesting but at the same time I want the game fixed and to be more interesting we can almost make any kind of sim we want but they have no personality (unless it’s your baby). I miss the lore of the past games, I feel like they are trying (I’m not that interested in the paranormal pack myself I bought it for the decor but that stuff pack has SO MUCH to do in it. I want them to continue making packs like that.

I want Eco Life style to be fixed, I want bigger worlds. If the sims 4 didn’t have its limitations I feel like we’d be able to have a lot more to do and that the game would be fun to play.

I miss sim bios and favorites and the color wheel so much.

If they are able to make this feature happen that would be amazing but I’d also ask ok what else do you want to expand on, I can think of lots of things I want.

I agree on everything you say! I really hope that the developers will give sims 4 a couple of more years so they can bring some depth (personality / game play / favorites) to the game. I hear so much positive feedback on Paranormal and I would buy that pack if we can get an option to disable all occult/fantasy elements in a save file (I like realism hehe, but the build and buy looks stunning). :)

And one thing about the bigger worlds... I think that if we can get multipurpose lots (residental / communal) , that could fix some of the problem with small worlds. Then we would be able to build own apartments / town houses = more housing in a world. Or we could build a combined pool/spa/gym/restaurant -lot and save some space.

Huh? I don't get it.
