Nothing for Builders, So Not Buying

The message, if we're unsatisfied with ts4, has been... oh, what is it that I keep being told here on the forums? Oh, yes... we're not more important than people who are happy having little building tools or new worlds in which to build or etcetera. Therefore, we're supposed to be happy that they're happy... or something. So... um. Happy yet? I know that I'm not. But yeah. It is lacking in so many ways.

Build mode hasn't received a single new tool since basements, and even then that was just an extension of the regular room tool. I'm beginning to think they have no plans to really do anything with build mode. They say they have a long list of ideas, and then come out with lot traits. Doesn't necessarily give me a whole lot of hope for the future of build mode if they feel lot traits were a major addition.

I've bought all the packs so that I have, at least all the windows, wallpapers, doors available and agree that builders are being largely ignored in Sims 4. I want to build without having to use cheats.

When playing Sims 3 I bought all the build/furniture stuff one by one in "the shop" leaving all the decorations and clothing behind as they didn't interest me.

There has been new build "objects" added, but that is not what I am talking about. As @drake_mccarty stated, we have not had any build "tools" since the basement tool.
Where are the new tools that we were promised 6 months ago? @SimGuru_Houts

Same. I'm not really into building lots, but I really miss being able to change the terrain. The only mountains and valleys in TS4 are all out of the players control. I also miss the spiral staircase and ladder, even though those are both really small things, I liked them because they saved space.

i am waiting since years meantime for at least some new roofs
i stopped buiding because the roofs options were limited & didn't allow to build the houses i wanted

We had Half Walls after basements, we also had new foundation tools with City Living that allow proper split leveling and even allow things like basements/pools with windows into the foundation.

Yes, more build stuff would be nice, but lets not act like Basements were the last thing we received, lol.

@jackjack_k Well, regardless of what the last build tool was, it has still been a long time since we have had any added to the game. My point for this thread is to point out how EA has been ignoring builders requests for more build tools. :)
In a thread about lack of tools that I posted 6 months ago, Aaron Houts popped in and said that builders have not been forgotten and that they would be coming out with some new build tools in the future. So, when are we going to start seeing these new tools?

What foundation tools? Are you talking about deleting the floor? Because that is a base game mechanic, same for windows in pools. Windows don't however snap onto foundations, not sure what you're talking about there.

In terms of new functionality yeah basements are. Half walls are cool, but in the grand scheme they act more or less like the fence tool which is a base game tool. The only difference is that they can be recolored and items placed on them. Basements expanded the floor limit to allow building underground. Kind of a difference there in terms of what it offers for building. This is a feedback thread if your only motive is to pick fights then please refrain from posting in this thread.

Ok it wasn't just me confused about the city living split level stuff. I was just about to go on a hunt to find this tool and was questioning why I hadn't seen it before :D
