Where to begin? Sims 4 lacks in so many things and the development is super slow with only one expansion per year... totally inconsequential with providing doors windows for all hights.. So why do we have them if we don't get enough and equal for all heights. Totally wish all the things you said but slowly l start to give up hope on an adequate improvement in build mode... There is so much what they need to do... and still don't provide... l wish they would incorporate all the features we used to have and top that with things we never had before. I miss especially more tools and items for modern buildings. Customizing to your own liking with the provided content for build and buy is pretty impossible unless you recolor yourself and add it as cc and this makes me mad. There are items in build mode l like but I wish they would have other materials /more color choices etc.and more modern stuff we live in 2018 and not e.g. 1950-1980. It's extremely exhaustive and honestly l lost the passion to build with nocc due to lack of individual choices . Some things l would use if they only would have an another color or style. I started to add a bunch of maxis match cc and now l like it but you will never achieve such look with nocc it would be possible but no they don't want us to be individual we are so limited in Sims 4 in everything compared to previous Sims Games that I highly doubt that we will get a chance to customize and get tools to finally have a full joy. I love to build but I miss so much stuff in the whole build catalog... like
Glass floor tiles
Skylights
Minimalistic modern build items (MATCHING SETS instead of mix flea market mix and match setup)
Modern Doors and Windows in Sets for all heights ( A set with seamless glass e.g 3 windows left is framed except the right sight, the window in the middle has frame only on the top and on the bottom and the right window has no frame on the left side and this for all heights, we never had something like that but this would be Timless and modern Mutske from TSR provides a set with such windows why can't the Sims?
More modern columns
L-Stairs/Spiralstairs
Seperate Foundation (the current version gave me million times trouble and l mostly removed it out of anger :D )
If you add stairs provide matching column, railing, fence, fence door, awning etc. I don't understand this let's create this one, may that one and skip the rest philosophy... l mean the windows and doors are the best example from City Living those would have been way better if we would have them for all wall heights.
So much is needed and so little added... circle roofs we have but we don't have round walls so does that make sense? Oh boi.... l wish so much but we won't get most of it l fear that....
They say they listen to us but they didn't give us working elevators with wohoo, we cannot change walls, doors etc. in city living... Geez we are so limited we can't create our own hoods, we can't even rename 10 Windenburgs in 10 saves... we can't color as we wish, we can't and don't have so much of this and that but l wish l would rule my sims world in build/buy oh well and let's not forget the pets the lucky one who get the color wheel which make me start to hate the poor pets that they can be colored as you wish.... l wish but don't believe we will get the freedom we used to have to make the Sims World ours and not theirs...
I went back to Sims 2 because it has features Sims 4 is far away and lacks heavily in many ways Sims 2 has in build mode... l wish Sims 4 would try to add all the features Sims 2 used to have (of course updated ;) ) and top that with tools we never had before... that would my ideal improvement they would need to do.
I do appreciate the tools we got in Sims 4 but l feel like it has so much potential that l fear they will not finish it to the end and improve it appropriately.
