FUTURE HOPES ON SIMS 4 GAMEPLAY!!!

Have you ever imagined we can see our neighbors do their activities like reading newspaper, grill barbeques at their backyard or even just hanging their stuff on their clothesline?

Can you guys imagine if we can get that feature or that game mechanism in The Sims 4? If it happens... oh! I’m in seventh heaven right now! I mean I've played The Sims since i was a kid, it was a long time ago, I have expectation to this game, because i grew up with this game! Here are my ideas that maybe you can give a try and make it real to your loyal fan,


  • I want to see that my neighbors do their own stuff just like in real life, they open their door and do something like gardening and stuff and then back inside to their home,
  • And second when they do their own stuff at their yard, we can interact with them just like normal ppl, wether its just ask abt day or something like romantic conversation tho, I know that you did this so the game runs smooth, but at least we can interact with them while they are doing their stuff at their yard, but if we want to go inside their house we still have a loading so the game still run smooth
  • But instead of giving us a white screen loading with just random music, why dont just give us a new loading screen like we are knocking or ringing someone's door with the sims voice, or tv sound, or radio sound, or etc randomly as a background loading music, so it will make like we are entering someone's house and we can hear what they are doing inside before they open their own door
  • I want newspaper back, i want to know whos giving birth, whos died, whos move in, whos move out, I WANT A VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I WANT INTERACT WITH THEM JUST LIKE NORMAL LIFE.
  • I want to see a new mechanism/ feature that lets other unplayed sim/household do their life like in real life, i want to see 'em join group by their own will, compete with us in career, and vice versa, i want to see that randomly gameplay,

  • Thats all I need, I love your game so much, and i hope yo make this in the future, I have so many expectations for you Simgurus, we as a fan can only say this, BUT YOU ARE THE ONE THAT CAN MAKE IT

    Thank You for your time by reading this,
    Love your fan

      I've moved this to Sims 4 PC Feedback as this isn't specific to the forums. Carry on. :smile:

      @EA_Cian Thank you,
    • I don’t think this will ever be possible for Sims 4, because it doesn’t have an open world system.
    • I'd be happy if the gameplay we already have worked properly and did so on a consistent basis.

      Pretty much this. I'm not saying it wouldn't be neat, however the way the engine works, it'd need a rewrite to allow for "partial lot loading" which is what you describe as being able to see them on their yard interacting with their objects. Currently only one lot and the surrounding area is loaded at a time, so a more realistic thing would be for those things (except clothesline) to be added to the surrounding areas.

      I don't think it would be impossible to visit neighbors without the use of a loading screen or seeing sims walking by in their home or possibly on a lot. This is one of my bigger wishes for the next coming years. :)

      I say this because we can already see the shell of the home and see the furniture and such inside homes along with apartments. That and I came across a interesting anomaly. A sim had invited mines somewhere like a park, but ended up in Salvadora at one of the rental spots oddly enough. Could not go in since the place wasn't rented or my sims, but could sit outside on any furniture and such. A book was left on a table from one of my previous sims travels a good while back and my selected sim had autonomously went to grab it.

      Thought she was gonna read it, but instead she was going to put it away. I'm just 'Where are you going to put that at???'

      Inside the building apparently she waltzed in like it was nothing to put the book off in the shelf. I STILL couldn't see inside other than through the windows to see her walk by. Pulling down the walls I couldn't see anything, but lookin' through the windows? Yep, she even got something to eat and was dancing to a stereo as well. Here's an image I had got a screen shot of. Happened a couple months back. Thought it was pretty cool really.

    • There may be some features we may never see as we move forward. The story on Sims 4 is already written and now I wait for Sims 4 to close.

      The Sims 4 story won't be complete until the last pack rolls out so you'll be waiting another couple of years. :)

      Maybe and maybe not :) I look at how EA or even Maxis treats their franchises and Simcity happens to be an example. Instead of EA/Maxis listening to it's players it walked away from the franchise and allowed Paradox to come in and listened to it's customers and implemented most of thier requests and the game is an success. I got this info from PC Gamer and most of what was written is right on the money about EA/MAxis blowing millions of dollars. They closed down the Ultima series which was developed before it's time and there are other franchises that they let go and it costed them money in doing so. What makes me think that they won't do it to Sims series if they did it to other franchises that had the potential to make them so much money. So it is maybe and maybe not because EA/Maxis is unpredictable.
