What aspect of your personal life do you want your Sims to experience?

I chose this because I think it would be nice to be able to open windows in addition it'd be nice to have screen walls for screened porches.

But I also like 5he Height Sliders and Gradual Aging options as well.

@Justa_G00f I think that there is a limit to what the audience will tolerate. For example, I once heard on Sims News YouTube channel(s) that there was a modder that created some kind of child-romance-and-sexuality mod, and it basically made adults to do sexual things with children. Even the little bug that EA/Maxis had in the game was triggering for some people, because it essentially allowed adults to develop romantic feelings for their toddler children.

From what I heard in a documentary, some romantic feelings are really not meant to be expressed, and virtuous people are those who can suppress them instead of act on them and commit crimes.

From what I do know of The Sims 2, this is actually possible in The Sims 2 because of the way Sims 2 foundations work. Sims 2 and Sims 3 foundations work the same way, but I actually like the Sims 2 version because you can actually make deck-foundation-porch thingy. The clothing boutique in Pleasantview is an example of this. Plus, you can see inside it, making it so much more realistic than the Sims 3 version. The Sims 4 apparently doesn't allow this feature altogether.

@waterywatermelon I understand what you're saying but wasn't talking about that kind of thing. I don't think we'll ever keep people from modding games, including the sick ones. I'm just saying there could be more realities to the game, to include a wider demographic, without making it dark. Also, letting the player select which aspects of reality are enabled would avoid people being "force feed" content.

I'd like some negativity in my gameplay please <3

I'm not sure what you meant by that or if it was in relation to my post before it. I don't believe including handicapped people in a game to be negative in any way. I DO consider shunning any struggling demographic while promoting others to be VERY toxic to society. It'll be nice when humanity gets past the hypocrisy of convenient equality.
It might "just be a game" but games form opinions, like anything else you experience in life.

i chose other bc i personally want to see things like mental illness and addiction in the sims4, i know your sims can get addicted to grilled cheese but that doesnt count. as a person who has to face a horrible sh addiction i think they should add tatoos that are like scars and add things like antidepressants to be perscribed to sims.

I don't really want any of that. I don't play a sim version of me because I like to play Better and More Interesting Than My Life! kind of game.

I'm with the others saying I'd rather have more musical instruments, singing, bands and the ability to play music together and have concerts.

I want to be able to create sims of different heights; whether it's being able to have a sim who's a pro athlete who's tall enough to play center in the NBA (why not 7'4"/225cm, like Indiana Pacers legend Rik "The Dunking Dutchman" Smits?) or having more ability to create "girl of my dreams" type women (I have always had a serious soft spot for short women, like 5'2"/155cm or so give or take 2"/5cm, in my personal life)...I get that clothing meshes are a pain in the rear to scale to different heights, but it'd sure be nice.

Along the same lines, I'd like to model a family like the one I was born into, where my dad's side are basically dwarves and my mom's from a race of frost giants. I'm 180cm/5'11" and I'm shorter than all my male cousins on my mom's side. I'd be the shortest guy on that whole side of the family if I weren't taller than my brother!

I would also like them to experience despair and proper enmity. I would like Sims to react more honestly to negative situations and not "hug it out" and go on with their smiley day. Essentially, a little more grit to the game, even if it's exaggerated and humorous. I'm tired of "optimistic". Consistent optimism in my video game is kind of boring.

Bands. Period. Music is life. We're long overdue for some respect for the music lovers.

And a hard " Oh, gods! Please, no!" on the things OP put in their survey. I especially don't want height sliders. I'm glad and a bit envious that my simself gets to be normal sized and not a 5'10 giant like me. Us tall chicks may be cool, but the tiny, mean chicks bully us and it makes me cry. I don't want my simself to have to deal with the mean girls too. :lol:

Not my personal life but I don't get personal with video games. This would be totally AWESOME. And a much needed break from the happy whimsical vibes imo.
The other options are focusing way too much on trying to make the sims replicate everyday boring real life "imo."
But a height slider would be nice

I'm with you on this. To me I play the game as an escape from reality. An autonomous "dollhouse" fantasy silly yet cool Sim world. So none of my real life crap that I dealt with all day, all week, all month, all year...

How about a game where you have to spend hours and hours trying to sim-de-clog and repair a toilet, riiiight....

Hmm.... Maybe a Sims4 "Mr. Toilet" pack would be fun?
