Possible Improvements to Base Game

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.

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. :)

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.

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. :)

@SimGuruGrant has said that they ran out of time to do proper babies. It might be tricky to do proper babies since players probably have babies in their current saves, but perhaps there could be a way. A lot of people said it was impossible to add toddlers as well. I'm okay with the object babies for now in Sims 4, but if there is a Sims 5 I hope they get the time to do it right.

I'd love a baby and teen lifestage overhaul update. Freeing babies from cribs and making teens more interesting. Right now babies/new born sims are just plastic dolls and teens are a copy paste of young adults.

I'd also love a relationship/socialising overhaul update. Something to make socializing in TS4 more interesting and keeping up with friend sims. Right now every sim feels the same and a lot of the interactions feel really repetitive. I wish there was something more to them. Making gossip like in previous games where sims would share known information about a sim they knew to another (if they were rich, if they were cheating, if they were slobs etc). Adding turn ons and turn offs or interests or even favourties.

A trait update to further expand current BG traits, especially emotion based ones. Adding more unique idle animations, connecting traits to an interest system, reviewing which interactions make or not sense for a sim with that trait to be able to perform etc.
