This is interesting!
Some of these ideas are pack specific and some are not. The reason I included stuff for packs is because in a survey once they asked us about improving packs. So now here’s their chance.
Fixing the Sims personality by either fixing Whims so they are less generic, or adding Wants/Fears. Add more in-depth Aspirations.
Animation: Please fix the water balloon fight so it’s not so slow.
Animation: Cooking to add more using of cabinets and drawers.
Animation: No more just the slamming the refrigerator door closed.
Animation: Adding interactions for the current decor cash register so it can actually be used as cash register and not just the tablet.
Multifunctional lots!!!!!
Give the elemental collectibles more uses aside from just decor (like making them resources for crafting items).
A feature to toggle off the cellphone entirely.
A mechanic that allows you to accept or decline a promotion.
A way to completely turn off the random generating of townies.
Swimming in all worlds.
Adding more activities for the Club activity options, as well as Holiday traditions.
Make the lots on the coast of Del Sol Valley playable.
A new free world!
Some sort of option to “Throw Away” things from the Inventory with no monetary gain, not just trash and spoiled food but random things possibly found while fishing or something.
In B/B, creating individual swatches when an object has multiple surfaces to be colored (for example the bed - separate into bed frame and comforter so you can choose each of their colors individually).
Changing the way the object slotting works so that small decor items can actually fit on shelves and even on top of the refrigerator or more on a counter etc.
Pond tool.
I’ll come back if I think of more.
