What are your unpopular TS4 opinions?One of mine would be that I love the names City Living added. I've heard many simmers complain too many Sims have Asian names now, but I'm glad my game is no longer filled with Sallys and Schmidts.

I like the names too, but of course if I ever want to change a name that's quick too something else I like is when sims get water or something else to drink then whenever they choose random things for meals. It's just normal breakfast, lunch, and dinner are just the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd meal of the day. Just like real life you don't always have time to cook whatever is already prepared is what you have to go for no rules on food there. As for the drinks it's just one of those tiny things someone get's thirsty here and there get a drink that is also quick to cancel if I am ready for something else.

I don't care about the Cats & Dogs EP.San Myshuno is my least favorite world.They should leave babies exactly as they are and focus on other things.

Easy enough to change the names if they bug anyone. I'll change them if I feel a name's too repetitive, like I ended up with 3 Aichas, so I'll look up another first name on the Internet that suits the culture. And you can always make your own Sims or download from the Gallery to help the balance. My main family adopted a boy with Indian heritage -- the game named him Jeremiah but I changed it to Sumit which means "good friend" but he ended up with a Mean Streak as a teen and fought with his brother Edgar (adopted as a baby and turned out to be black; Afri-Sim?) and they ended up disliking each other. (He went through a lot of phases so he obviously had some issues.) My unpopular opinion is that I really don't miss the open world of Sims 3; I prefer the loading screens to watching a taxi or car drive down the road, then stop and the Sim ends up running up a hill to get to his/her ultimate destination. Or watching a building while my Sims are inside eating or working or going to school. I wouldn't mind the neighborhoods being more open so you can visit the neighbors without a loading screen though.

I think the names themselves aren't even the thing that bothers people, more the fact that they don't suit the actual appearance of the sim. You can't imagine how many blond and pale sims I had with Asian names before I got a mod to get rid of these names. As for me, my first unpopular opinion would be that I couldn't care less about pets. At first I thought they would be less stressful in TS4 because we can't control them, but no, they constantly have to fill up sims' queues (but I think this one's a bug).I also don't care about babies being improved upon. It's the lifestage I'm caring the least about and I usually age them to toddlers asap.Open world is another thing I literally hate. It makes rotational play impossible to do because sims from inactive households are constantly doing something which can mess up storylines badly. With a non-open world, this can happen too but less frequently and only when inactive sims are currently on the same lot.Actually, I really don't care much about the popular expansions everyone is/was constantly asking for (Pets, Seasons, University). I'm SO glad the first two are already released so people don't annoy with this anymore. My most unpopular opinion still has to be that I really want a time travel pack like in TS3, one in which you can choose between the past and the future (but future is still more important for me).

I can't stand themed packs, I would love if they just did a pack called "what the community is begging for for almost 5 years" with spiral staircases, bunk beds, furniture that matches?I'm not sure if its an unpopular or a popular one tho

I’m really glad not missing open world is considered an unpopular opinion! Hope to see it return in a successor.

(this topic already exists by the way)

Just a totally off topic question @JoAnne65, but how do you post a link with your own text like you did in your post? I looked everywhere for this option but I have no clue how to do it :D

As for open world, I hope they make open neighborhoods/districts (bigger than those in TS4) in the next game, that's a piece of everyone's cake. Good for those who don't want an open world for various reasons, and a good alternative for those who want an open world.

Voilá ;)

I’m sure I could live with some sort of a compromise tbh, what they did with Selvadorada already made me so happy. All I really need is an actual map and larger open neighborhoods with functional roads (I love the travellng with cars, bikes, broomsticks, whatever ;)). I realized this when I was playing in Bridgeport (Sims 4 had just been released). My sim was in the hills, the rich area, and he was looking at the city at the other side of the river. Then I instructed him to walk downtown (he was a homeless so I didn’t allow him to take a cab) and instead of crossing the bridge, he autonomously took the subway which is a loading screen. Then I realized I could perfectly live with that, a world divided in smaller sections, seperated by a loading screen.

I’m not bothered by loading screens by the way, that’s not the reason I regret the Sims 4 set up of neighborhoods. I’m bothered by the lack of cohesion and the fact sims in my household are uncontrollable when at the other side of a loading screen. Being able to give them instructions - basic ones like do your homework, play the guitar, eat, go to bed - already would make a difference to me. So that compromise also would have to contain that.

I think their exaggerated creepy smiles aren't that bad, most of the time. :D

- I couldn't care less about horses and cars being added
- Alpha CC is my worst nightmare (on the forums, Instagram, and the Gallery), whenever I see sims made with a lot of CC it really freaks me out
- I don't miss open world (although open neighbourhoods would be great)
- I don't miss CASt (but I would like more colour/pattern options)
- The Seasons EP wasn't that great
- I don't think there are too many stuff packs, they are cheap and not essential (so very easy to skip). TS3 Store was a lot worse than having a lot of SPs.
- I don't want them to change babies anymore, it's too late and I'd rather the team focused on something else.
- I don't want an EP/GP like Get to Work but for schools. That sound extremely boring to me. I want more after school activities for kids and such but not going with them to school *yawn*

There must be a lot more but this is all I can think of right now.

Agree with everything here! :)

1. I could care less about cars. In Sims 3, the streets would be overpopulated with unmanned cars even if I used certain mods to clean them up. This caused many of my saves to lag and at one point crash.
2. I never liked vampires, just witches and fairies.
3. I don't miss open worlds because of the lag and crashes.

Seasons is pretty much a letdown, I regret buying City Living. Cars in the game seem pointless to me, I don’t care for the occult /supernatural. Edited to add: The only thing I feel like they have done better in TS4 than TS3 is Toddlers.

I'm perfectly fine with the sizes of the worlds and number of lots.

I hope they never add mermaids , fairies werewolves, zombies , and plant people to the Sims 4.

I do not mind lifestates in my game in which I do not like to use them, however as long as they are optional I do not mind. I remember in Sims 3 the zombies was becoming annoying and I am glad they made a way to shut them off. I do not dislike them I just do not play with them.

I don't care for University.

I don't like supernatural themes in The Sims.
