Some content for older players maybe?

Chemistry would be nice to add - like the turn ons and turn offs we had in TS2. And also some extra animations, such as close dancing (though, they should also improve regular dancing so that sims actually dance facing each other if dancing together).

I like to have the blur but it is sometimes a little intrusive - particularly in the bath tub. It seems like they could skip the blur when they are bathing because most things are covered anyway. Particularly for children and tots. It kind of ruins screenshots.

I wouldn't mind it as much but the one for females it's huge and covers their body entirely.

This is the reason that after nearly one year of playing, I finally broke down and installed a mod. My poor mermaids would be in the bath with their tails hanging out, but screenshots barely caught anything worth saving because of that huge blur. Now, I can actually see the whole mermaid, complete with bikini top, so there's still nothing "riske."

I'd definitely like more romantic socials, and also something like the turn-ons/turn-offs that we had in Sims 2. Traits should also have more impact, like the Pancakes where you have a Slob and Neat Sim as a couple. I'm fine with the blur, and definitely don't want realistic anatomy.

I find the blur to be the usual staple for the series as a joke and wouldn't really want it removed. (There's definitely mods that can do this). Much less 'real anatomy'. Unsure what that means unless you're talking about adding you know actual genentalia to the sims which I definitely wouldn't want. Definitely mods out there for that if you wan that kinda thing. Previous games definitely didn't need them.

I just really enjoyed the slapstick and adult humor which gave earlier games like the first the second games their charm. Would definitely like to see more of that.

I'm probably the oldest one on this thread. While I appreciate the need for some maturity added to this game, I have to agree, let's keep it to Teen Vs General. It's been seriously dumbed down. I want scary ghosts (not Casper the Playable Ghost); I want more randomizing deaths, such as the first lightning strike may or may not kill your Sims, so that my Sims have a legitimate reason to be frightened by thunder storms. We're given too much of a chance to save our Sims. Most of us don't allow our dazed Sim to continue fixing that dishwasher, dryer, stove, radio, etc. once they've been zapped, so that when they get zapped again it's curtains. We have a window of time given us to bring our freezing to death Sims back indoors, too. Give us back burglars, too, if you please. This is or was a life simulation game. Bad stuff happens. (Besides, if the worst happens, why do you think we have a library that stores our current Sim?) I just start all over again, or roll back the game save. I did this in Sims2. Start over, that is. I totally loved it when my Sim (Spock of Vulcan) cried like a baby (so unlike him, too) when a burglar stole his car back in Sims2. He was inconsolable. It was a hoot. While I felt bad for him I couldn't stop laughing at the same time. Now, that's entertainment. Quirkiness and odd humor is a trade mark of the Sims Franchise. Sometimes, that humor gets a tad crude for me, but then again my parents (my Dad, in particular) said he was raising Ladies. Yeah, try living with that hung about your neck. LOL

I agree with you there should be a hard mode for those that want it and I sure do

They should add an option to remove blur

I would like that too, everything feels so toned down that it's almost a game for kids at this point. As long as they will not risk the rating I think that they should do it.

I really dont want blur removal, or even a option for it. That would push it to M rating. There are plenty of M rated games. I like Sims as T, but we do need attraction, more romance interactions, consenquences, personality and depth.

I am well into my 50's and all I want is marriage fidelity in the game. The whole romance system needs an overhaul. It's hard to keep marriages intact. IMO The Sims 4 game mechanics are too loose for a committed marriage. I don't always play the same way either. Sometimes the infidelity brings details into the story. Other times it ruins it for me. I have modded my game so marriages stay in tact but infidelity still happens. Just tired of disposable marriage vows so I rarely play married Sims in the game. I understand that times are changing and marriage is going by the wayside for some but I still would like to play with some family values and ethics sometimes. I feel like the game mechanics force things on me that ruins my immersion and the story I am playing. I guess that's why it's so easy to exit to the main menu without saving. lol
