While I don’t play the sims 4 right now. (I find it less engaging than the ts2 and ts3 which I both play), I think a generations and or hobby pack would be great.
A generations pack should focus on unique gameplay for all ages to make them more distinct.
Toddlers need
1. Game interactions between each other (pat a cake etc.)
2. Games interactions with older kids and adults (hide and seek etc)
3. Ability to hug other toddlers
4. More teaching moments between older sims (kids-adults) and toddlers (e.g. learning to ride bike)
Children need
1. Games to play with other children (tag, cops and robbers, hide and seek etc)
2. Games to play with older sims (will only automatically initiate this to family members) such as hide and seek, being swung around, etc
3. Imaginative play with other children or by themselves
4. After school activities like ballet or chess club
Teens need
1. Acne/zits (if it isn’t already added)
2. Mood swings
3. More pranks (integrated with parenthood game pack)
4. Teen specific interactions like fake out, high five, etc.
Adults need
1. Midlife crisis
2. More interactions between family members like family kiss,
Elders need
1. Canes
2. Elder care/ retirement homes?
3. Elder specific interactions like pinch check, show off photo album
4. Ability to make them less tech savvy/ more old fashioned
Also they need to add tags to clothing for teens, young adults, adults and elders in CAS which limit what sims will automatically wear/ spawn with, so npc/townies wear more appropriate clothing. This would be done in a patch
For a hobbies pack they can make it like sims 2 free time with like and dislikes playing a bigger role
Hobbies would be decided into categories again such as
Sports, music, arts, games, fitness, cuisine, science, nature, film & literature, etc
Sims would have a favorite hobby and disliked hobby. Sims would partake in dislikes hobbies less, occasionally get a negative bored moodlet when performing disliked hobbies (would not occur if they had high skill in hobby activity e.g. 6+ skill in singing would mean they would not dislike doing that if they hated music hobby)
This pack would also add new objects and activities related to the hobbies for sims to partake in (so all ages can start hobbies)
As sims do hobbies more they can unlock unique interactions, benefits and more. However if sims don’t engage in hobbies they will fade over time (will fade slower if sims have high level in hobby)
Patch for this pack could reintroduce interests like the sims 2 when sims are chatting. Would also clean up menus grouping similar interactions together (e.g. friendly… talk about… art, music, etc..
sims who have different interests may get negative relationships when talking about those topics with each other.
