"New Sims Experience" theories

I don't think the sims is quite VR-ready yet, though it's interesting that people are mentioning it, as I've thought for a while that if the franchise keeps going and going some day it'll probably end up VR, but I really doubt we're anywhere near that.

Or a free Patch that improves the game like Open World meaning that we can visit our neighbors without loading screen. Between Neighborhoods there will probably still be loading screens.

That's all I want. I mean my loading screen are not even 5 seconds but I would love to have open neighborhoods. I don't care about loading screens between neighborhoods or worlds but it would be nice to walk to your neighbor without a loading screen.


I mean it's insane how huge the open areas have gotten and still we need to load to get to a neighbor, unfortunately I doubt it will change.

EA is very risk-averse and they don’t invest heavily on unproven platforms. We’ll only see Sims VR when those VR platforms sold like tens of millions of units.

I really think it might be something like Sims Life stories or Medieval. Something big and new but nothing for the Sims 4 per se...

Right. The point being it's something that's still way off in the future. If it happens.

First thing I thought of was Sims in virtual reality tech hehe

Either way, there are a few things I'd like to see changed.
1) TODDLER METABOLISM!! This has been bugging me for quite awhile. My toddler exercises daily, and gets plenty of it, is only fed when her hunger bar is deep yellow, or red, and comes from thin, well bodied descent. Yet she is packing more and more pounds. I may just be seeing this wrong, but it doesn't seem to be happening over time, either. One moment they're regular weight, the next there's a noticeable bump on their stomach!

2) Glitches Involving Bills. Money isn't too much of an issue because my sims are wealthy, thanks to the money cheat, but it really got me going when this happened. So, my sim came home from his first job (they're rich, so he's never worked before and I thought it was time he did) one day with quite a few negative moodlets. He was bringing in promotion after promotion, so I decided to given him a break. I thought I'd call in for a vacation day right after he payed the bills. So I had him pay the bills on his phone before he called in. A few sim hours later, his aspiring author wife went to work on her book on the computer. Now this is where I got confused. A "pay the bills" option popped up. I checked my funds just to be sure it had gone through, and sure enough I was out $4,000. I decided to leave it alone and assumed it was just a glitch that would go away. But the next sim day, I got a notification that I better pay the bills or the power would be shut off. I ended up having to double pay the bills and was out $8,000.

3) Baby Weight. Most of my sims don't have baby weight after a pregnancy but there are a few that do. I hate how it's selective. All or none, in this case I'd choose none. I had one particular sim that I was very proud of. She was a randomized sim, but she looked like a gorgeous barbie doll. Not that all my sims have to be perfectly plastic, but if you at least have one, it can be really fun. She had two kids(separately, not twins) and after the second one, I was astonished when her face and body didn't go back to normal. If you've never had this problem, let me paint the picture: their face, arms, and legs swell up and while their stomachs aren't quite as big as they were before there's a noticeable difference. Also, their hips are unrealistically wide. This is all after-pregnancy baby weight. Now, I can handle a little baby weight, and maybe even have my sim hit the gym to work it off, but it's just ridiculously blown out of proportion! My barbarbie sim's face got so swelled up that deep crease lines grew around her mouth. It looked like she was smuggling fine china dinner platters in her hips! Pregnancy is a beautiful thing and baby weight is natural, but the way Sims 4 ps4 portrays the aftermath is so unrealistic.

4) Getting sick. I know getting sick is not exactly exciting, but wouldn't it be cool if your sims could get sick?

5) WORKING FROM HOME! Don't get the wrong message, I love this idea. I love woodworking and gardening and such, but I would like to be able to register these money making hobbies as careers. Especially for those sims with young ones at home, and would like to work while also taking care of little Jack and Anne. There might be the concern that you're blowing off work. But that could be fixed maybe by having daily assignments like build a toilet, or plant some tomatoes, or create an abstract painting. Then you could work from home, possibly level up in your favorite hobby, create your own hours, and whatever you earn is 100% youes! Another plus is that you could keep your moodlets from getting low like they do at work. :)

Hey.


As for getting sick, that came with the get to work pack and in CIty Living the new careers give you the option to work from home :)

I dont think anything great would happen.

But as its far to early for sim 5 i hope they are going the way Final Fantasy 14 did with sims 4.

FF14s changes to previous iterations where not well received by fans and the game was criticized as incomplete and lackluster so they completely reworked it into a new version 2.0 and kept improving it until it became one of the most successful games of all times.

So maybe they try something big and rework the complete engine which is a big stumbling block for any progress of the game and we will se a sim 4 2.0 that is up to date, looks better and is open for all the new content and depth to be added.

What do you make of the tweet referencing a "new sims experience" being announced in June at EA Play in Hollywood?

Either a New Expansion,Gamepack or a Big Update like Cars.
