Thx for reminding :(

I’m just going to list what was in the previous Sims base games that I wasn’t in TS4 that I miss;

-The burger, firefighters, police officers, CPS, and repo man NPCs. They helped make the game more eventful.

-Newspapers (printed word is still a thing, and I missed the little stories that came with them.

-Landlines (also still in use in family homes, especially families with older adults/elders)

-SNUGGLING. IN. BED. Why this was taken out, I’ll never understand.

-Pool Tables (A staple since the first era)

A Fear emotion. Sims have no fears at all and it makes zero sense.

Traits that affect behaviors and aren't overridden by emotions so that Sims have unique personalities.

The default happy state changed to fine so Sims don't have a constant permagrin.

Adjustments and additions to animations that reflect the Sims' true moods. For example, enemies being angry at each other, not smiling and hugging.

Likes, dislikes and attraction. It seems like anything goes with every Sim and their behaviors are bland without flaws and turnoffs.

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

Of course not, missing still regardless

It seems a lot of features might never come.

I mean we don't even have proper elevaters , spirals staircases, pool loungers.

For me its definitely the staple NPC's since the first sims is like the burglar, police and fire fighter.

I have a massive list of aspirations (base game and pack editions) in https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/952547/aspirations-you-want-in-sims-4/p1 first page.

In short aspirations for patched careers and skills.
Why should my freelance programmer have to quit his job and join tech guru to complete the computer aspiration? Or my food critic have to quit and join culinary for the food aspiration?

I also have a massive detailed list of careers somewhere but in short again, these act as lifetime goals so add goals for the BG and patched skills or careers.

Freelance angler, photographer, handyman, carpenter, party planner
What about more science careers that use base game stuff like microbiologist or legit rocket scientist? Fashion/nature photographer, modelling, mechanic, manager (a pr manager not business), architect etc.

Other features
- Small versions of telescope, microscope (not every sim has a mansion for the giant versions)
- cars/carpool (imo unique carpools (the limo, military truck etc should be patched as they are base game features elsewhere).
- more staircases/floor transport (L, spiral, functional elevators, ladders)
- more hair swatches
- more skin details

These might still come.

I mean curved stairs came in the last EP for TS2. Elevators though, perhaps not. If they did I wish they'd replace/update all of the ones that came with CL.

Should happen. Code it so it transports to elevator numbers, elevators are numbered by the floor level. Even without the animation, I'd like to have elevators in my malls and community lots.
