What Would You Add?

I use mods so if something is not in the game it might eventually show up as a mod. We should not have to use mods to fix the game but instead they should enhance the game.

Somethings I don't think mods will ever do... I would like a more fleshed out mermaid like vampires and spellcasters got. They could also expand aliens like that also. AND ... I would like to be able to invite the entire household over including toddlers. Finally, I want to be able to click on my Sim and send them to uni class like we can for work and school. Or go to class early.

They could add code to make Sims monogamous. I use a mod for this now.

My ultimate wishes ... ARE to be able to pick one or two seasons, which occults appear in my save and I want to be able to turn off the parenthood ask for advice and character values. I mean we can opt our Sims out of fame. Why can't we opt of being "good" parents.

I don't know if it's bug or not but I have snow and rain turned off in options but thunderstorms and blizzards still happen.

I would love the ability to take the sims and assign roles to fill, and currently, I would love for my game to take sims I already have in the game and have them fill university student rolls, instead of the game creating a whole bunch of new sims for that.

One thing in each? Okay, mine would be:

Get To Work: An Occult Hunter playable career. Something flexible that could be selected for all Occults or just one type. Example: Vampire Hunter, Witch Hunter, Ghost Hunter, or general Supernatural Hunter. I know that Ghosts were the only thing out at the time, but if they went back to add something, this could be it. If this is too complicated, then how about that Grim Reaper career?

Get Together: The ability for Sims to dance together. Not in a performance style like they do now, but facing each other, like real people do. Like when a group of girls go out and hit the dance floor, they sometimes dance in a circle, facing each other. Or if a couple goes out to dance, they usually dance facing each other, not leaving each other to go gawk at the DJ. (Honestly, who does that?)

City Living: Buildable apartments. Or even placeable apartments. I'd even settle for direct replicas of what's in City Living but be able to place them in Newcrest or another map. I just need more living spaces and I really want apartments. It's ridiculous that they're confined to one city.

Cats and Dogs: A toggle for sick pets or gameplay adjustment so that if you're not actively playing a veterinarian they won't get sick at all. I'm really fed up with sick animals everywhere in Brindleton Bay.

Seasons: Hmm. I'd say either foggy days or the ability to delete the premade holidays completely. Or, actually, how about an "ignore holiday" feature for Sims to not get bummed out every single time the player doesn't cater to the holiday. This gets old very, very fast and I may not want to delete the holiday altogether because I may sometimes use it in a different household, but I want to be able to have some Sims ignore Winterfest or Brawl Day or TV Premiere Day or whatever without getting bummed out.

Get Famous: The ability to have normal conversations and build relationships with celebrities. For crying out loud...

Island Living: My God, just one? How about underwater swimming or a secret lot on the other side of the cave with hidden treasure that has a low percentage of being found, or boats that can take multiple Sims, or more Mermaid powers or Mermaid furniture styles made out of seashells, sea glass and seaweed, like a giant oyster bed... any one of those.

Discover University: Add in for term progress to freeze without kicking Sims out of Uni so that rotational players can still switch households and play other stories without the game taking charge of the Uni Sims and making them fail or graduate.

Ohh, I love a lot of the ideas here. I'll try and go for different ideas with mine.

Get To Work: Having your own retail store at home, like in Open for Business.

Get Together: Adding toddlers to clubs, so we can have toddler play dates at the park.

City Living: More festivals.

Cats and Dogs: Small pets, including an overhaul on fish and frogs. Take care of them like you can in Sims 3.

Seasons: New and improved PlantSims.

Get Famous: Tabloids and gossip. Sometimes, they'll be based on real incidents in games - like you picking a fight with someone, or the time you wet yourself in public. Every so often, a false rumor will be started about you, and it could hurt or hinder your reputation if you don't actively fight it.

Island living: A surfing skill and an associated competition. Train your body and mind through practice, then compete to win money or rare items.

Discover University: Active classes. Let us chat up our teachers, work on assignments with our fellow classmates, skill-build, listen to lectures and use our extra time to get a head-start on homework.

Get to Work: Either more active careers or making more of the existing careers active. Or an approach to the retail feature that made it more rewarding to just have your Sims be the shopper rather than the business owner. Also, some sort of expedited aspect of shopping so you don't have to jump through hoops to make a profit in your business. And also a robust simulation of owning a business without having to always be playing the business.

Get Together: More dancing styles (modern, ballet, tap, swing, etc.). And a dancing career. More communal activities for teens and younger; like extensive amusement arcades or carnivals or some sort of mock-Chuck E. Cheese place where kids can go to have fun. This was the perfect pack to add a lot more gameplay for non-YA/Adults, and it fell short in that regard.

City Living: Either a more extensive apartment editing system or more festivals as others have said. A skatepark would have gone great in this pack also. Also rollerblading or using a scooter or bike to get around could have been introduced here.

Cats and Dogs: birds, reptiles, in general small pets both conventional and unconventional.

Seasons: Figure skating career.

Get Famous: More athletic careers or skills/activities (because athletes are celebrities too) like tennis, gymnastics, golf, etc. A more elaborate filmmaking career to include Directing career, Cinematography, Editing, Sound Design, etc..

Island Living: N/A as I don't have it.

Discover University: N/A as I don't have it.


Non-pack specific but I'm always wishing for an in-game way to disable the cellphone. And also I would like to contain certain Sims to certain worlds. And also neighborhood traits that are sort of like lot traits but blanket over multiple lots, so you can still have individual lot traits while also sharing other traits with other lots.

You can use MC command centre to pull townies from your library. It's not perfect but at least they have appropriate outfits and I like seeing some of my past sims walking around!

Get To Work - Improved aliens. And if I'm really dreaming, a new alien neighborhood on Sixam.

Get Together - The ability to have up to 12 sims in a club as well as more dance styles.

City Living - The ability to design and set up our own customized festivals.

Cats and Dogs - Aspirations or life goals for pets.

Seasons - Weather app or channel that tells you what the weather is like in the other worlds.

Get Famous - A paparazzi work from home career where you're required to talk to and take pictures of celebrities.

Island Living - An underwater lot to explore and a unique tombstone/urn for mermaids.

University - Online courses that allow a sim to hold a job while still getting an education.

...I really just want more aspirations, playable careers and events. I think I've made many posts about how each pack could have at least 1 of those added that I'd really like, and a lot of those ideas have already been mentioned here (slumber parties, pool parties, paparazzi career, vampire hunter career and/or aspiration). Trying to put those aside tho...

Get To Work: A type of lot that allows your sim to live in their shop as their full time residence, without needing to buy two lots.

Get Together: Put something cool in the hedge maze at Von Haunt estate for our sims to discover! Gnomes! Treasure! Curses and blessings like in the Selvadoran Jungle! Just something to make it actually worth wandering in!

City Living: This might be too tall an order, but I'd really like it if the apartment buildings actually had multiple floors for sims to live on? It's so weird to me that you take that elevator ALLLLL the way up, past all those apparently empty floors, to the 2-4 apartments at the top. Adding more livable floors would add more lots to play in, and also just make it feel more like "City Living."

Cats and Dogs: (I actually really like your dog show idea, especially if it came with a "pet training" aspiration BUT ANYWAY) Vaccines! You can pay to get your pet a vaccine that means it won't get sick at all!

Seasons: A "look up forecast" interaction that lets you see the weather in other worlds. It might be a sunny autumn day in Oasis Springs, but if it's storming in Brindleton Bay it might be nice to know that before taking a trip with the dog and kids to the park there.

Get Famous: (Bodyguard idea is great, I'd also had that thought lol) this might be more like a fix-it patch, but I'd really like the ability to designate how probable celebrities showing is at different places. Like, maybe each public lot could have "star meter" that the player could set, with a higher rating increasing the chance for more higher level celebrities. Then, if a player wanted lots of celebrities wandering around they could set all the star ratings high, and if they wanted none they could set them at zero, and then if they (like me) want different lots to be more popular with celebrities than others they could do that too. (Honestly, what I'd really like is for celebrities to basically ONLY show up at places with the hotspot traits, with only VERY VERY rare sightings elsewhere, but that really feels just purely a fic-it and not a new feature, so yeah)

Island living: A tracked swim skill, now separate from fitness, that children can learn after maxing motor.

Discover University: Something that lets you connect/interact with other students taking your sim's same specific classes and major. Maybe a "study group" type thing? But that specifically tells you which sims are in your class? Maybe an "invite classmates over to study" function like the "invite director and co-stars" thing in GF?

Get to work- Ability to have a retail lot on your home lot

Get together- Ability to own a cafe, or an expansion on dancing (more styles, a career etc)

City living- Landlord career!!! Or the ability to own an apartment building like the Landgraabs and the Altos.

Cats and Dogs- The vet career is an actual career. Or small pets

Seasons- Ability to chose if a sim is afraid of thunderstorms, it's really annoying (and unrealistic) that everyone is afraid of thunderstorms)

Get Famous- Paparazzi having more impact, like if they see a celebrity cheating on their spouse they run a story about it or maybe they constantly make stuff up about you

Island Living- Depth for mermaids, A skill tree, ocean styled furniture, a few underwater lots (that are livable)

Discover University- I want there classes to be more organized in the career tab, like in order from earliest to latest with MWF classes above TR classes, and a progress bar!! because it's really hard to know exactly how you're doing in Uni. Either that or I'd add an "off campus student housing" lot type so I can have a stove in my sorority houses

Get to Work: Alien perks, more ears & skin tones.

Get Together: Slow dancing, drums, more events & better cafés.

City Living: An option button to turn off weird tourist clothes, better apartments, more festivals & the city becoming Bridgeport.

Cats & Dogs: Healthier pets, more animals & playable pets.

Get Famous: Singing/Band careers, better Actor career & more neighborhoods in Del Los Valley.

Island Living: Mermaid bug fixed, actual Mermaid babies, an actual playable underwater world & boathouses.

Discover University: Students that can actually do well, Sororities, more university parties & better playable secret society.
