What's something you wish was overhauled?
Something that's already in the game but you wish was different. How would you change it? For example, the Sickness system for me. I dislike it greatly compared to sims 2. It's really only a te...

- The emotions system. I really like it sims show their emotions and that it influences their welfare and how they react, I really hate however how it’s caused by totally random auras instead of interactions with other sims or actual sitiations they’re in. The auras literally kill the fun for me way too often. And I think it’s a missed opportunity emotions and in what way sims react aren’t linked to their traits. A good sim will get just as irritated and in the exact same way as an evil sim.
- Multitasking. Must say I don’t care about multitasking in the first place (I’m fine with sims queueing up tasks one by one and doing them one by one) but apart from that: it’s implemented in a poor way. They don’t multitask, they still do everything one by one. The only difference is we can’t control it, they do it one by one autonomously and it takes ages. If there has to be multitasking, I want it to really be doing two things at the same time (which would require an unique animation).
- Babies. It’s such a shame they went downhill in that respect in every new iteration.
- Teens. I’m one of those simmers who’d like them a bit shorter, because I consider length a thing for a particular sim. Teens nowadays may be taller than their parents, they weren’t taller at 14 than they are at 21. Apart from that reality factor: it’s a game and a game needs clarity, plus real deviation between life stages in this game means fun. It’s one of the reasons we love playing families.
- Fake backdrops. I don’t feel I have to explain that one because, I mean... fake backdrops. Even (“even”) Sims 2 does that better.
- Tiny neighborhoods. If there has to be no open world (and I realize that’s defensible, even when it takes away a huge chunk of the charm for me personally), why settle for five lot neighborhoods with loading screens when you cross a street? That for me is not defensible.
- No control over sims at the other side of a loading screen, basically becoming worse than an inactive sim in the predecessors because time goes by without that sim doing anything.
