Let's say its not going to be an MMO or whatever, but what kind of Sims 5 would be perfect in your eyes?For me: A sophisticated personality system that reflects well in game Traits are a bonus to the personality, small habits the sim has. 2 positive traits, 2 negative (like bad at cleaning, but a charmer) An attraction system Wants and fears that reflect whats going on in the game and tied to that sim's personality Basics of every EP in the game. For example, the main game has cats and dogs. But the expansion would add other animals. Base game has rain and snow, but the expansion can add major natural events (volcano spill, flooding etc) Excellent CAS system (I think S4 has the best of the 3) Coveted build mode options,objects, and npcs (Spiral stairs, curved roofs, heart bed, genie, tragic clown, crumplebottom etc) Plenty of detailed animations like the sims 2 Maxis humor and consequences like in ts1 Open neighborhoods, not worlds. For me in open world when I visit a lot it's never populated enough. With neighborhoods I think it's a good balance. Loading screens do not bother me. The ability to take photos and create an album in game with an option to write, like in TS2. You could edit your photos in game and upload your stories to the site directly through the game. Can create your own neighboorhoods, community lots, etc can set down your own plots of land like TS2 The toggle system for some aspects of the game like TS3 Basically the beauty of TS4, the customization of TS3, the depth of TS2, and the charm and difficulty of TS1https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DUZcde6XkAA0kss.jpg

To do and have all the things I had in sims3 but without the problems.

Here's what I would like to see for Sims 5:From Sims 1:HoroscopesA great soundtrackFrom Sims 2:Create A WorldApartmentsSomething like Open For BusinessFrom Sims 3:Open WorldCreate A Style(for Sims,pets and objects)From Sims 4The easy-to-use basements toolCreate you own clubsCreate your own holidaysFestivals(but you get to create and control them)Other:Pets(cats,dogs,fish,birds and reptiles)A varied amount of venues in the base game(movie theater,game arcade,library,diner,etc). No more of plunking bars,museums,gym or libraries into every single pack that's made.A variety of good careers(military,dental/medical,education,etc)Ghosts,toddlers and pools should be in the base game.Babies not being boring objects tied to the bassinet.Community lots should be just like the ones in Sims 1: You could put a variety of different venues on the same lot.A variety of different musical instruments(electric guitars,drums,banjos,trumpets,etc).

Ugh! My keyboard is broken and I've got this entire post NEARLY typed out 3 times now and accidentally lost it before it goes through!Anyways...Art Style like Sims 4. Personalities like Sims 4 but upgraded - give us more slots for personality traits instead of just 3 and also give each trait a few etra unique interactions and autonomous moodlets and behaviours. Relationships like Sims 4 except add in non-mutual relationships so that my teen can have a crush on his neighbour and she doesn't have to like him back and my kid can hate her stepmum who loves her etc. Animations like Sims 2. More naturual movements, way better at interacting with each other. Bring back slow dancing and kids dancing on parents feet etc. Aging, new, gradual: Make a baby diff from a 1 year old diff from a 2 year old etc. Sims just gradually look and act older. World: Closed. I don't like Open. CAS: No colour wheel unless there's a huge focus on swatches still too for those of us that prefer that. If we could have options then I hope they add colour wheel for those that want it. Also, let me hide all items I'd never use, or delete them from my game. THere's sooo many CAS and build items now that I'd never use and sometimes it's hard finding what I do want. Of course, also allow us to readd them at a later date if we desire. Memories back properly No cut scenes. Or else able to toggle them off. In fact, more toggles. Toggles for occults, deaths, celebrities, etc.

EssentialsAll life stages having equal content in terms of gameplay, CAS, and BB objects.2 stages for each life stage; one representing the younger years and the second, the older years. And no life stage as an object.Lots of group gameplay and family activities. Less focus on technology and no trends. More normal jobs, with realistic job tasks (aka, not everything needs a computer).Gameplay, CAS, and BB items which reflects time periods before 2015. Realistic chores: grocery shopping, home improvements, etc. Actual personalities: Traits that actually make the sims act different, likes and dislikes, zodiac signs, dating preferences that can be set, and a system of desires with depth that make sense based on the sim's personality (aka, not wanting to buy something every 5 seconds unless the sim is materialistic. Deep desires such as wanting to get married, move to a new house, get a new job, etc).Difficulty options (an easier mode would be similar to TS4, where toddlers, kids, and teens can raise themselves and never need their parents for anything. All refrigerators naturally come stocked with endless food and there's never a need to go grocery shopping. A harder mode would make it so parents need to care for their children by cooking for them and putting them to bed and must shop for food for the house.)Options to turn off occults.Cars.BonusAbility to have higher order multiples. Up to sextuplets. (Maybe more if we get a higher max household size).Open world if it can function well enough. If not, open neighborhood at least. Optional patches.

What kind of Sims 5 would be your ideal?

I mainly want incredibly in depth personalities/relationships and an extremely dynamic experience like how San Myshuno is but on an even grander scale. More festivals popping up in the neighbourhoods, sims setting up small events around the world that you can participate in like from the Island Living pack, beach parties, family fun days, barbecues, etc. but with more to do (the events from IL are pretty boring, if they had more to do like then I would pay more attention to them). I just want the environment to feel much more alive. Sims 4 kind of does this but separated in packs, I want these things to be universal.

A modern game engine that allows to render more sims at once and free up more memory.
More advanced animations that makes it easier for multiple sims to interact with the same object and with each other

Roads with Cars and Buses
Story Progression with Options
Frequency Modifier (increasing it will cause abductions, vampire visits, party invites, random things to happen more often, decreasing it will cause it to happen less)
Content Configuration (Decide how much you want from a pack)
Population Configuration (Decide what type of sims the game can add and how the game should add sims to your game, which will give you options to create a world with loads of vampires for example, or let the game generate less sims and select them from downloaded or subscribed sims from the gallery instead)
Outfit list with 100-200 saved outfits that the player can add and remove, options to let the game select between them instead of generating new outfits for townies
Color Wheel
Height Sliders
Layered Clothing
More traits and complex personalities
More things in the game that will encourage the player to try out new things, could be lots or pre-made households that allows the player to try different stories for example.

My ideal would be:
Similar feel to Sims 4 (PG-rated, lots of happiness, no death in my game)
Lots of little details like Sims 2
More gameplay like Sims 3
More realistic-looking Sims
Color wheel
Height sliders
Layered clothing
More traits and aspirations and careers, with traits and aspirations being very meaningful
Single-player
The ability to create worlds
The ability to visit another player's world if you feel like it
All game packs free (this is my ideal, not reality of course!)
The ability to use mods
Tons of animals: dogs, cats, horses, bunnies, fish, goats, llamas, etc., and all controllable
Lots of crazy stuff like alien abductions and werepuppies
More sense of humor overall, like earlier games
Lots of bright colors and trees
The ability to make a Sim with a chimpanzee head, a male chest, a female waist, a prosthetic leg, and another leg that shoots rainbows, for example, because why not!

Another thing I would like to see, is when a child get taken away, or the only adult in the household dies, they don't simply vanish. They can either be found in manage worlds, sent directly to their next of kin if they have one, or you could even be given the option to choose which household you'd like them to move in with. Same with pets. I wouldn't even mind seeing this get patched into the current game. There's no reason why the lost children shouldn't still be part of our story.

Sims 2, but it looks like 4. CAS and BB from Sims 4, replace the occults with the ones from S4, Bigger worlds from TS3, Fame system from TS4 and the diversity of TS4.

I also believe cats and dogs should be in base, along with rain and snow, and sun. The pets could add horses, and mythical animals. Seasons could add holidays, the calendar, and like volcanos and stuff. I think the base game should be realistic stuff, and the expansions should be adding mythical stuff, stuff that doesn’t exist in real life. They should also add a kid-friendly mode, like if you have little siblings that your parents make you let them play. I think kids that are taken away by social services should be adoptable, and you should be able to put kids up for adoption, and foster kids (Obviously you can’t adopt the kids you neglected). And last I definitely think preteens and preschoolers are a must.

- Semi-open world like Sims 4
- No travel times (Sims 4 style)
- Ideally no time passing on community lots either (Sims 2 style)
- Days and Seasons passing as in Sims 2 (per household, not per world)
- No story progression at all
- More than two flavors of free will (Full, medium, only in emergencies, none at all, zombie) and toggleable per sim
- Maybe no multitasking again, except if it's vastly improved
- Sims 4 CAS plus Sims 3 Create a Style
- Layerd clothing. At the very least a t-shirt that is visible under a jacket should be available as a t-shirt in CAS.
- Fully customizeable apartments system as in Sims 2
- Home schooling
- Custom townies and npcs with an option to generate them randomly
- More everyday jobs, but also registering as self employed in basegame
- Chores (laundry, lawnmowing, car washing, floor sweeping, window cleaning, all dependent on the gameplay object being present or not)
- Swimable bodies of water from the start
- Toggles for economical situation (chance of burglaries, street violence, job shortage, free basic foods, etc.)

tl;dr Sims 2 with a mix of Sims 3's and 4's CAS and swimmable lakes/rivers

Cynna, I believe there are trading cards in the sims 4 kids room stuff. Also, sorry if I didn’t tag correctly, I’m brand new to forums in general.

Hey, welcome! :)

Yes, there are Voidcritters in the game. I like the idea, that's why I mentioned it. Only, I would like any age group to be able to participate. In TS4, only children can actually play the game.

Edited to add: if you want to tag a person, just put an @ symbol in front of their name. That'll do it.
