- I would like different heights, but no game has that.
Extreme weather sounds fun, but it's not part of my life.
Other: Cars. - I’d like to see health conditions added to the game, with some Sims needing to use wheelchairs, walking sticks or for example becoming blind so they cannot read but instead prefer to listen to the radio. Maybe it’s too sensitive a subject for a light hearted, comedic game but I think it would add more depth and diversity.

I had a Dad who was 5'll & my Mom who was 5'4, I inherited the 5'4 & so did my Daughter. Most of my cousins male & female are taller than me & my Daughter.
I would love a height slide in CAS.
I'm a shorty, too. But, at 5'31/2" I was taller than my mother and my Grandmother. Tallest female, in fact, in two generations. Which isn't saying much. We get what we get. Half of our father's DNA and have of our mother's DNA. Siblings also get the same measure, but not the exact same DNA we get. I would love to be able to have the females, on the whole, shorter than the males, if they can work out the animations. I know they don't want to encourage those who play in a unseemly manner, so perhaps they can set it for the shortest female height a Sim can have, taller than Child Sims. That would be great.
I would also like the one I chose, plus the disasters natural or manmade. This would add a little spice, uncertainty to the game so as to keep the player on their toes, if you will. Impending doom can be 'fun' in its own way. ;) Unpredictable, at the very least.
I am 66 years old. My hair, while getting lighter in hue due to the strands of white hair coming in, is still very much red. This is the blessing of my heritage. Mom didn't go gray all at once, either. Dad's hair went white gradually, too. My maternal grandmother was gray from age 35, on the other hand. So, yeah, aging should be gradual for some and more rapid for other Sims. That would be cool."Justa_G00f;c-17934485" wrote:
Mental Illness. lol Have traits like bipolar disorder/extreme mood swings, ADHD, schizophrenia (not one of my issues), OCD and others. It's not fun IRL but would be interesting to see how a Sim would cope.
They kind of have these in Sims 3, and they're amazing. Neurotic is my favorite trait because it is me. There's also socially awkward, over emotional, inappropriate and insane. And quite a few others which, when combined, can make for some interesting neuro-divergent sims (with all packs, you can have up to 7 traits). And with traits, you will have interactions that only a sim with that trait can use, and they also affect autonomous actions.
I really miss being able to make neuro-divergent sims in the Sims 4, tbh.- I think varying heights would be cool. My Simself would be just a bit taller than the middle setting on the slider (I'm 5'11".) My wife's Simself would be similarly set (she's 5'5".) But one of my best friends is 6'6", and his wife is shorter than mine. I'm thinking it would be difficult to get the animations to work well for handshakes, hugs, and kisses if Sims were different heights.
I visualize Sims as being different heights, anyway. I think of Dina Caliente and Eliza Pancakes as petite. In my world, Geoffrey Landgraab and Paolo Rocca are shorter than average. Marcus Flex is taller, and so are the Fengs and Bjergsens.
I chose "other," because I would like to see Sims actually dance together when they dance with someone. As it is now, they can be halfway across the dance floor from their partners, turned every which way. They should be able to slow dance, too. Acquaintances and friends could rest their hands on their partner's waists and shoulders and sway together. Good friends could playfully dip each other and happily twirl in each other's arms. Romantic interests could dance closer, and perhaps share a kiss on the dance floor. A loving parent could sweetly teach their child to dance. "Felicity;c-17935007" wrote:

It's pretty sad when a game has been out for close to 10 years (?) and people are still playing the version before it. Now I'm wondering if I should have saved my money for Sims 3 and all of it's packs instead of #4.- @Justa_G00f If you can afford the Sims 3 and all of the packs, and your computer can handle them, then go for it!
The Sims 3 has a much more flexible and customizable Build Mode than The Sims 4. Almost everything can be redesigned and customized to your own personal taste! It can make the Sims 4 Build Mode feel like a little toy.
The Sims 3 Island Paradise is a tenfold better than The Sims 4 Island Living. You get the same amount of stuff, plus more. You also get a big world to play in called Isla Paradiso, and you can just zoom in and mess around.
The Sims 3 Late Night is also much better than The Sims 4 City Living. At the very least, it does feel like a city, and that you live in a penthouse. In The Sims 4, it feels like a regular house. Thanks to the open world.
The open world game engine is really a game changer. That, and Story Progression. You can read the newspaper and check out for gossips, and watch your neighborhood come alive. - Either variable heights for sims or proper genetics with recessive genes. The genetic system would be for regular genes like hair colours for example, not necessarily for deadly illnesses. Opening windows for fresh air would be nice too.
- I mostly want natural disasters and varying heights.
- My sims can't even handle thunder, I can't imagine any natural disaster.
Honestly, I play so it's nothing like my life ? but I'd love it if npcs didn't interrupt dates constantly. I'd actually just like way fewer npcs in general.
