Possible Improvements to Base Game

So now that we all know terrain tools in fact are possible in The Sims 4. I want to bring up some other possible improvements to the base game, that I think would bring it more up to par with past iterations.

• Baby Overhaul (Release the poor infants from their bassinet prison and let them have play mats, sink baths, changing tables, rocking chairs, etc.)
  
• Shorter Teens /Youthful Faces (Make Teen look different from their adult forms) As of now that's a bit hard to differentiate. All we know is that they're labeled as Teen and look a bit thinner.
  
• CAW(Create a World) built in, just like ts2
  
• Cars(Something like ts2) ;)
  

We have solid 3 years left of ts4, so maybe 1 or 2 of these a year. :)

I also would love to build my own apts and PH in any neighborhood with an lot creator.

I agree on apartments @Goldmoldar I only got City Living recently and whilst it unlocked some great items, I was disappointed to see that there is nowhere to build in San Myshuno. It would be nice to have a new neighbourhood like San Myshuno where you can build it up like a city and add your own apartment builds.

I'm not too fussed about babies, but that's maybe because they don't actually do anything. I often just age them up quickly as they're more interesting when they're toddlers.

Height of Sims would be really useful and realistic. One thing I've noticed about the size of the Sims is the clothing. I was making a rather rotund gentleman the other day and when I put him in a pair of trousers with a belt, the belt buckle stretched around his tummy. This is really unrealistic, because obviously the belt should be bigger to accommodate his size, but the buckle shouldn't stretch! I think this needs changing, as some of the clothing just doesn't fit properly.

Cars would be a great one, no more Sims just disappearing. And how annoying is it when you go to a community lot and choose to return home and your Sim starts to walk (or run) all the way to the edge of the lot before going home. I sometimes lose them, and I'm waiting for the screen to change, I go and find them and they're just running along a road. I just choose travel now from their phone, because it's far quicker.

I don't think it's possible to reprogram babies, they are objects in the game. They aren't real Sims. All the interactions are on the crib not the baby. They go into inventory, it's an object not a Sim. Sims can't go into a family inventory. But of course, they are welcome to prove me wrong. :)

Would love to see the end of default time passage (toggle is quite acceptable), and the return of proper tied to the household screen shots, both of which are solid TS2 features. Speaking of which: ability to add lots of various sizes, move lots, rename lots, sculpt the worlds, proper community lots that can handle any activity...

They should just change the franchise name from sims 4 to Restriction 4 ... guess they are working and recruiting for Restriction 5 !!! :|

I agree with all of this. Especially about the babies. I hate that life stage. Now, about the teens, I'd actually like a "Young Teen" life stage added and the current one renamed "Older Teen".

To play my game the way I want in regards to teens, I downloaded height sliders. I remade my 1st generation as teens and adjusted their heights to my liking.

I also added acne and some facial overlays to make them look more youthful. As for the baby issue, I think what I'm going to do until then is use toddler height presets. With those, they can be the size of an infant practically.

One thing I would like to see changed about base game is for them to create mini open worlds within one map if they are worried about performance this would fix it ! When you enter your lot your able to walk 3-4 lots away from your property and interact with other sims/objects so what went wrong here ? Why was this not thought of .... mini open worlds for the win !!! Mixture of rabbit holes and playable lots/ community/ residential etc
come on EA/Maxis we are meant to be pushing the boundaries here

They can improve on the base game in some areas and may not be possible in other. Even if they are able to improve on an area now, there may be some form of limitation as it was with CL. Sure, they allowed us to have apts but it does not allow us to build from scratch or have Apts or PHs in other neighborhoods. Some can say with EA/Maxis giving us Apts/PHs it was an victory but I call it an half victory because the limitations does not allow me to enjoy them. I am happy for the terrain tools but I rather wait until that patch is available and then really say how I feel and as said for almost everything given there is an limitation.

NEW STAIRS PLEASEEE , im suffering D,X

We're not going to get shorter teens most likely -- it would require reworking of all the content in CAS. (Think gender patch x100.) Possibly they could do something with the faces; if you look closely teen faces do look slightly rounder, more youthful.
