Front Door - Knocking VS Doorbell

I guess having options is the best option here but I liked the doorbell much better. The knocking can be so quiet at times and I'll often miss visitors because of it.

I knew hear the sims at the door when they knock. Not sure why they didn't include doorbells this time around. I miss upgrading them in Sims 3 too.

Either sound is fine with me. I'd rather that the game have a notification with the sound though as it's so easy to miss visitors at the door.

In my irl experience, most people use the doorbell for a friendly/casual visit. For me, knocking implies that it's someone like the cops at the door.

It would be nice to have the option to have either.

I remember in TS3 handy sims could upgrade the doorbell chime, which I always thought was a nice little touch.

Not everyone has a doorbell, and it could be a nice house project for sims to do, like click on the door and select an upgrade to install a door bell and then add another level to change the doorbell chime

I only want doorbells if they don’t wake up sleeping sims. I never hear anyone at the door and I have to stare at it when I invite anyone over to make sure I don’t miss them (if they actually show up).

I play with the sound off so this option seems best haha

I miss doorbells unless my Sims are on the ground floor which is never, usually they are in the basement ( its where i keep the fun/skill items), if not in bed. I always miss the door, I never hear the knocking.

Knocking is fine, but I would like the option to add a doorbell and perhaps even adjust the tune. Why not?

Who cares but why not both, they have animations if them pushing wall buttons so why not add it, could be an object like thermo
