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

Hey sims team I’m a black player who loves the sims but I feel that when it comes to Afro styled hair and any other hair type that isn’t exactly straight isn’t represented well I would love in some sort of upcoming patch that there would be new Afro textured hair to put on our sims I know this may be a lot to ask but I feel like this has been a problem especially for console players who cannot get custom content in the game if you need ideas you just simply search google for 3a,3b,3c,4a,4b,and 4c styles or look up on platforms like YouTube and instagram for hair regiments that are used to take care of these hair types. Thank you listening and I love the work that you guys do sincerely a black simmer

I second this. I made a black sim to be the host of this show I did, and I found the selection of Afro hair wanting. I had to download CC to solve that. I downloaded this, which is amazing :)

Neither of those sims is black.

But I guess more black styled hair would be cool.

I'd say the base game is still missing:

Graveyards
Funerals
Sim biographies
Curved pools
Ceiling tiles/paint
Cars
Story Progression
Firemen
Burglars
Lounge chairs
Doorbells
Body Hair
Piercings
A much needed trait/personality update
Detached babies from bassinets

1. Meaningful interactions between the babies and the other sims. Maybe give me a reason to not want to age them up just as soon as they pop out the womb.

2. More interactive water-related items and areas. It's very weird to me that a "free" game like the Sims Freeplay has features such as interactive pool slides, floats, and pool parks that a paid game like the Sims 4 does not offer.

3. Speaking of the Sims Freeplay, there are quite a few features I am really surprised did not make it to TS4 especially considering this game launched before TS4 and was more similar to TS4 in graphics and gameplay than the other sims games. Such as SPIRAL STAIRS, and just different stair build shapes in general (L shaped, Curved). The pets in this free to play game were actually much more interactive and fun but I won't get into that as its not base game technically.

4. More CAS features and options. I wish the CAS was more customizable especially in terms of the facial area. Why isn't there a tool that allows for me (like it does with cats/dogs) to paint on certain aspects and features, such as freckles for example? Not everyone has the classic and stereotypical Marilyn Monroe beauty mark above their lip or to the side of their eye. Why can't I "paint" on these features by hand and truly customize my sims facial and bodily appearance? Why do I have to download sliders to get a realistic hip and breast shape? That seems odd to me.

These few things to say the least. I am sure there are many more that will come to mind later.

The one that I would love to have back is create a style, and pattern maker.
It would be a lot more fun to create rooms with certain colors if we could have create a style.

Most of my main points have been mentioned, but three glaring omissions forever haunt me: body hair, briefs (tighty whities), and individual sim biographies. The latter is especially glaring, because these helped establish a pre-made Sim's personality and story in the game. Right now, a whole family has to share a tiny household description box, which can't even have proper paragraphs.

Nothing. Nothing was missing in the first place.

What about pools?

A good attraction system, better family relationship metrics, newspapers and magazines, hobbies, private school and home school options, cars, more lots, ability to customize neighborhood names...and the gypsy matchmaker. This is my wish list. Oh, more careers, too...just the rabbit hole variety. And meaningful chance cards.

open world
create a world
create a style
story progression
proper baby life stage
proper teen life stage
burglar npc
fireman npc
trash compactor
house phone
newspaper
grocery shopping
cars
bikes
garages
paper boy/girl

Most of mine have been mentioned in one form or another but I'll throw them in for my two cents worth anyway:

More activities and quality of life stuff for elders. I hate that they eat, sleep, die.
Spiral Staircases!
Witches
Burglars and firemen
Trash Compactors
More Selvadorada style vacation spots (I mean, vacation spots with actual things to do. OR was terrible because you could do everything there was to do there, anyplace else and be less bored.)
Imaginary Friends. I know they are controversial because as many people find them creepy as people who love them. I loved them and their dumb little walks :)
Private Investigator job- I'd just love to do it. I think it'd be fun.

Open world ofc, why would they even have excluded this feature after TS3?

Open World is never coming for TS4. The game wasn't designed for it.
