Things Simmers of the PC Version Still Want.

This is thread about what most/ or some/ or perhaps not all still want in TS4.

Instead of creating scenarios and so many kits (too many if they keep going) there were things we have been requesting for eight years now. I'm not sure why Maxis ignores these requests. But it would have made a heck of lot more sense to come out with some other things instead of scenarios. True, probably not free, however, I'm sure plenty would have thrown some money at the following things to get them into TS4. Eight years, and still not in TS4.

Eight long years of requesting the following:

Cars.
World Editor.
World Creator/CAW
Werewolves.
More, much much more Likes and Dislikes.
Fears.
Freed babies.
Slow Dance.
Dancing... Facing each other without the crowd.
A tool to create our own patterns, swatches.
Bands.
Other fame careers. Not just an afterthought.
More Traits!
Swimming in all worlds.
Better, More Relevant Rewards to buy with points.
Memories.
Hobbies, other than the three....jogging/aka workout, painting, writing. Sigh.
Graveyards!
Funerals. Respect the dead.
Fix the gender patch clothes' problems. Many of them are horrible when put on different frames. There is a thread to show Maxis all those problems.
More male clothing and styles.
Attraction system. For goodness sake why does one Sim prefer another? Enquiring minds want to know.
Different styles of staircases. There are hundreds of different type staircases in the world.
More roof choices.
Auto Roof for some.

This is just a sliver of the requests that have been made in the past eight years, that the other games actually contained. As always updates to the actual Sim is probably the number one request by thousands of players. A better AI and personality with memories, likes and dislikes, (more) fears, and individually that only could make the Sim very unique. Just like people who are unique, and individuals we need more emotions and traits that actually make them unique.

I'm sure I have left out dozens of other things that some of us would have preferred other than time spent on scenarios.

Adding others' long lists.

Hotels.
Daycare Active Career (I absolutely loved this in TS3).
Dance Classes for kids.
Better Weddings.
Small Pets, yes, it's not that hard.

Edit: Please read everyone's comments! there are so many things Not in TS4, after eight years. Wait...I'm still waiting on games played between kids....tag, hide and seek...eight years and not a peep.

    I want them to fix the memories and family dynamics in the game. Memories need to be reworked Sims don't know some of their family. Who they are, where they came from, who is in there family, how many family members they have. The dynamics of the family game play sucks. My sims want to marry there first cousins, Aunts and Uncles. Why the INCEST EA! I DON'T WANT INCEST IN MY GAME! I would love a world editing tool so, I can add swimmable water to the worlds that need it.


    I agree with keeping Incest out even if they are game characters. I do understand depending on how far the line of cousins goes it is allowed in some places but Sims 4 cannot determine that how long that line is.

    What everyone's suggested. Stores where sims go to buy clothes, food, games, books, etc.; multi-purpose community lots, skills start at 0 - not 1, screenshot albums tied to households - and the shots stay in proper order regardless of the RL calendar date, a lot more hobbies - and when sim reaches a certain level they get a membership card to the local club for that hobby a la TS2; more and better vacation locations with opportunities to visit local sights, take tours, and immerse in local culture


    Thank you for bringing up these Sims can't even go out and buy a video game let alone download one. One would think Maxis would be pushing EA games for the Sims to play. I loved all those boxed games on the shelves in TS2 :D I sent my Sims out to buy new games for their kids all the time. I miss shopping for things that matter to the Sims. It was actually a good advertising tool for EA, if I can sit and watch my Sims play other EA games, someone just might break down and purchase one. ( I know I did). I often had the parent or friend give the teen a new game as a gift on their birthday etc. Gift giving, anytime. :)

    I really hope they add some of your requests so you can enjoy the game and join in on all the other wonderful discussion and sharing threads. ☺️

    ETA some things I'd be happy to see before the game comes to an end.

    Hotel, resorts
    Bed and Breakfast
    Private school option
    Amusement park vacation world
    Clothes cost money to purchase
    A system of separate finances for household members
    More household appliances
    Toaster, Blender, Mixer, Juicer
    Sewing machine
    Toddler interactive objects
    Toy oven for children


    I have decided there are too many things to put on the original post still missing in TS4 that the other games do have. I like your list, I just realized we don't have mixers...juicer.. :/ I really like the tea options in TS4, those helped out my Sims often, but I would love the sewing machine with special outfits to sew (not available in CAS). Not even a toy stove in this game, either. My, how simple some of these requests really are.

    @Cinebar you can find every one of these suggestions and many more in the Ideas Forum. But nice of you to start a master thread to keep track. ?
