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 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 !!! :|

@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.

They ran out of time? Sad.

Out of time? It's been years since launch.

That's just an excuse.
