I want these UI changes
There's lots of great info accessible through UI, some could still be added but for the most I'm satisfied with the needed clicking routines. Here's some wishes, that shouldn't be very hard to impleme...
Forum Discussion
These are some excellent suggestions @Simmerville !
#1. Name of save
I'll admit, it took me a minute to figure out what you're talking about on this one, because I have never ever used the big "resume playing" arrow in the main menu :lol: For the longest time I never even noticed it was there! I always just went directly to the "load game" option, even back when I only had one saved game. :joy: I'm super observant.
But I agree, it's weird that they give you the option of just resuming your last save but don't tell you which save that is. And since I do have some games with multiple saved versions (such as a main save, and a "backstory" or "alternative universe" save with the same characters) also having a way to check which save I'm in while still in the save (for example in the "options" menu) would be handy.
#2. Info on time and season
Yes yes yes!! When I start up a save, I can never remember what day of the week or time it was when I last left off, and since I play multiple households in a lot of my saves, that would be useful information to be able to check before actually choosing which household I want to start playing. Also being able to check the current weather in other worlds before traveling would be so helpful!
#3. B/B Catalog
Yes! Being able to expand the catalogue while looking for an item and then collapse it back down while building would be save me a lot of frustration of scrolling back and forth and continually missing what I'm looking for. Having more columns in CAS would also be helpful.
Because I have a lot of custom content, I would also like a filter option to hide all the cc. This would be really helpful when I am participating in a build challenge with a lot that will go on the gallery where I don't want to accidentally use any cc. There is an option to show only the cc, but no option to not show any cc.
#4. Traveling to another lot
This is the only one where I'm not sure what you're talking about. For lots that are in the same neighborhood that you currently have loaded, isn't there already an option to directly click on the lot (in play mode) and travel there? I've used that, and I don't remember going to the map as part of the process. But I could be remembering wrong...
#5. Career history
It would be nice to be able to see a sim's past careers as well as the current career/retirement/lack of a career. I've never really thought of that when playing, but it could be useful information to have story-wise.

#6 Capture UI button in camera menu Add a button or hot key to switch between "Capture UI" and "Don't capture UI" when taking screenshots
Isn't this what the "tab" key does? It removes the UI so you can get a screenshot without it. Or, is that not what you're talking about?
