What is still missing from the sims 4 base game? (If anything)

I've never played the earlier versions of the sims but I'm pretty sure most players who have want spiral stairs and cars. Or so Ive noticed mentioned many times on the forums.

I'd love to see newspapers back. I'm an occult player but I LOVED how newspapers were in TS3 with the coupons, the news, and happenings around the neighborhood.

Story Progession. I use MCCC, but I’d love for the game to have some of story progression itself - and a toggle to turn it off for those who don’t want that.

If we're talking about relatively simple things, I still want a separate body hair category and recolorable ceilings.

And of course, vehicles. Carpools, bikes, public transportation, private vehicles and whatnot

This! Story progression makes the world really run. It gives life to the game.

Better babies and better personalities.

Newspapers and land lines are in a weird spot because very few people under the age of 40 use them. Obviously there are exceptions.

The thing is though, why should I be forced into telling stories without them? What if i want my story to be in the 80s? We shouldn't be limited with modern trends and tech.

I think the best base game for the sims was found in Sims 2. It had so much Sims play packed in that base game. Sims 3 had a lot of play too in base game but I remember people complained about some things missing. Maybe the piano?

But Sims 4 was bereft of so much stuff in the base game it didn't hold my interest for very long. It is so much better now! I can play for hours and not want to shut it off.

Can it be improved in its gameplay? Always! I'm looking forward to what they will do next. I agree that better babies and more interaction within the sims is key. And yes, I miss vehicles too!

Better babies is the highest wish on my list. More interactive babies that aren't tied to the weird bassinet thing. At least give us a crib, god damn it.

Other than that, spiral stairs, bunk beds, color options for ceilings, better personalities for sims. And favorites; favorite colors, favorite foods, favorite music, and star signs. I also want memories back from the Sims 2.

To much to list. I find the base games are far to lacking in everything after experiencing play with the expansions.
