What’s a gameplay feature you’ve NEVER used? New ideas to spice up your game!

Hey Simmies, I realized today there are a ton of gameplay features I’ve never even explored. Which ones haven’t you ever used?

If someone mentions one that you’ve personally used and love - shout it out! Let us know why you love it. It’d be cool to learn about some fun/surprising aspects of the game I’ve never played with yet.

Also, try and limit it to the packs you own. Don’t say you’ve never tried spell casting because you don’t have RoM. 🙃

Here’s a few that I’ve never tried out yet...

- Veterinarian
- Pet Training Skill
- Making a Sim with a bad reputation
- Tech Guru Career
- Whatever the Sulani island spirits are called
- Flower Bunny Day / Egg Hunt
- Gardening splicing. Honestly, I didn’t even know anything about this until I read the recent patch notes. Looking forward to leveling up in this skill!


How about you?

  • @Bearpal64 yup! I think it’s easy to fall into the routine of playing one kind of gameplay so then you can quickly exhaust the options that you like to use. Sometimes it’s fun to branch out a bit and learn new features and functions! Hopefully this gives Simmers some good ideas :)

    Definitely! I was trying not to exhaust the game play options available to me at the time but then I realized I really enjoyed the base game play. At the time I only had a bundle of Sims 4, City Living, Vampires and Vintage Glamour Stuff.

    Now I have everything available to me on console (PS4) and I have tons of content to explore. Some I've dabbled and some I've never even touched. This is a great thread! Definitely reminded me of things I may have even forgotten came with certain packs. :)

    I never had any of my sims own a Retailer or a Restaurant. Too boring.

    @SheriSim57 It’s just a little holiday I created in the calendar. Sims go and do the volunteer activity Walk to Fight Disease as a family and then have a community bonfire afterwards.

    Sometimes after the volunteer activity, I have the fitness buffs do a couple of laps around one of the smaller islands and pretend they are racing.


    What a cute idea!
  • A feature I just thought about is social events. Other than weddings I never throw parties at all. I also never visit neighbors for some reason lol.
