What do you feel like TS4 is missing?
Here is my few things: -Color wheel -Bonehilda -Open map -Fears -Sims having more personality based on their traits -More aspirations and traits
Forum Discussion
I agree with a lot already mentioned here.
- wants/fears system from TS2 (which would include an actual "afraid" emotion. we need more negative emotions in general)
- better romance and romance options (like slow dancing, table proposals and cuddling in bed, an attraction system!!)
- open neighborhoods (I don't NEED open worlds especially if they are a big risk to causing problems. but open neighborhoods should be manageable there's only 5 lots per neighborhood :/)
- better and more cohesive swatches (I don't need a color wheel but we need more blacks/whites/wood tones that actually Match. Also let me change the bed frame swatch independent of the blanket etc.)
- larger worlds (like windenburg)
- editable worlds or at least the ability to create our own (in TS2 I never played any of the premade worlds I always made my own)
- more weirdness like TS1 and 2
- more (and better) hair colors! especially since we just got the skin tone update
- deeper expansion packs (they're starting to become indistinguishable from game packs to me. parenthood added more to overall gameplay than both island living and snowy escape combined)
- more and better traits that actually have a real impact on making sims feel different from each other outside of emotion buffs :/ which ties into better personality
- more and better aspirations (they can be completed so quickly and so many of the requirements to completing one are SO EASY. need more lifetime aspirations like TS2)
- more pets! we only have cats, dogs, and small rodents (and I didn't buy MFPS out of spite). where are my horses? where are my lizards? snakes? birds? turtles? I've settled for using non interactable frogs, fish, and the bugs from outdoor retreat but it's not enough and not DEEP enough
- we should've gotten a tea set in snowy escape that functions like the drink platters we have (the ice tea/lemonade one from backyard stuff, the one from spa day, and I think there's one in eco lifestyle too). I hate only having that one weird looking tea maker...
- BUNK BEDS why did this not come in tiny living. murphy beds should've come with city living
- more group activities for 5+ sims (most current activities are only 2-4)
- I kinda want like a little blanket fort for kids to use. or even make themselves. it could function like the tents do
- snow depth! I hate the shallow snow especially after a blizzard. I don't even make my sims shovel cuz it's not even worth it
- sledding outside of snowy escape. I don't need to ski or snowboard outside of the slopes but sledding??? let my kids sled in their backyard
- snow days off from school! power outages! more things related to weather (and a toggle cuz I could see some people not liking the idea of power outages)
- school uniforms and private schools
- school field trips (even if it's just a series of pop ups. let my sims build a skill while doing it)
- I miss the penguin from TS2 and also the raccoons that would get in your garbage. AND SKUNKS!
- related to the last point I HATE seeing sims in raccoon/bear costumes in san myshuno/granite falls. why can't they be real animals...
- burglars! the ability to call the police (ESPECIALLY if you have get to work)
- cars :( I miss the school bus, the car pools, teaching teens to drive...or even just sitting in the car listening to the radio. also the firefighters arriving in a firetruck, police arriving in a squad car, etc.
- prom!! and I want it to be an event you can actually attend at like a lounge or something. teens need more activities that make them a unique life stage. right now theyre just slimmer young adults that can't do as much :/
- memories! it doesn't need to be implemented like TS2 since I know that causes problems (and I think the problems came more from the gossip system anyway) but like........let them like have a scrap book or something. let them remember first kisses, getting married, having a kid, etc.
- related to the last point I wish you could assign memories to the pictures sims themselves take. so like if I have a bunch of family photos on the wall let my sim get some sort of moodlet from it when they view it. I hate that you can only do this with screenshots it's so weird
- split lot types. I make a lot of multi functional lots but I'm restricted to like restaurant/cafe or restaurant/bar so they actually use both buildings but if we could assign multiple types to one lot that'd really open things up
- more lot traits
- movie theater lot type! right now I just use the bar lot type to make a theater...
- public transport! why is the subway in san myshuno not usable as a travel spot? the boat and trolley in willow creek? the train in mt komorebi? you can use the boats in brindleton bay and a boat can take you out of magnolia promenade so like it's doable
- swimming in worlds pre-island living. not being able to swim in brindleton bay really gets to me its a BEACH
- update the holiday system with newer packs so like I can add sledding/skiing/snowboarding to a holiday for example. we also need more holiday icons...
I'm sure there's more than this but this is what I think about the most while I play...
