So, we got the April 2020 Community Survey and wow! I saw in the survey so many cool new ideas, but I was glad there were also things we as players have been asking for a looong time! I want this thread to be about the question nr. 9 which followed:"Please rank the following life stages based on which you would like to see additional gameplay for 1 being your most wanted and 6 being your least wanted."I am very curious about which lifestage was your number 1 and why? It would be cool to discuss which lifestate needs most improvement.I know a lot of people are gonna vote for babies, but I also do know not everybody wants improved babies. (So secretly this thread is to see how many people really want improved babies :p )I did vote for babies, because I play on a really long life span (using MCCC). My babies last two weeks in my game so after few days I actually even forget I have them, because I take my families out to restaurants, parks, clubs, bars etc. all the time. It bothers me too much we can't bring our baby anywhere! I love visting grandpa's en grandma's house for dinner. But it's sad the baby needs to stay at home. So let me know what your number 1 was! :smile: ps. Why were teens not an option here?! :o

I want to see how far they can enhance & enrich this life stage. If they succeed, I would say that, it is possible that they could observe a shift in how people playing the Sims moving forward.

I put Elders because I'd love to have more options for them. I'm not so bothered about the babies because there's nothing more I feel needs to be done with them, personally. But the elders definitely need some more options, in my opinion. <3

I put children cause it's one of my favourite life stages and i feel they don't have much to do. Also i don't get why they always stay out of some gameplay that they should be included on, like for example, using bikes.Babies were actually my last choice cause i just age them the moment they are born.

It's very hard to choose just one. I want a little bit for everyone that is not a young adult. I would like improvements for toddlers and children. They need more to do and not left out in so many new gameplay (why are bikes, boats, magic,... only for teens and up) . And some gameplay differences between young adults, adults and elders would be welcome, they are far too much alike at the moment. For babies, I want them to be released from their cribs and adults being able to carry them around.The only ones not high on my list are teens, actually. Lol :) . But they should have been an option for this question to be complete.

Toddlers, mainly just because I love playing with them in the Sims 4 and any new additions for them would be welcome.

Which lifestage do you want to be improved the most? (April Community Survey)

Babies. I miss the babies from Sims 3, they were more like actual babies and not locked to their crib.

I'm saying children, but really share that spot with toddlers. I don't play with babies. When one of my sims give birth, its insta-toddler. Don't think there's anything they could add to babies, that would make me want to play them. But children and toddlers really NEED some love, and soon.

Teens have some limitations, but really...teen and up have plenty, they can do everything in the game. Heck, teens can even live alone this time around. In previous games, that would mean Social services.

It was so hard! I put babies, just because I'd love to be able to even just move them into a different room or put them on a play mat -it doesnt need to be extensive. But elders and children were also really close to the top of the list. I dont even think we need huge amounts for elders, but I would love to see the walking stick back, and options like talk about grandchildren, or look after grandchildren. Just something a bit more age specific.
If we're going for really fleshed out life stage, children would definitely be top. They're so lacking in all of the possible ways! I miss imaginary play, treehouses, hop-scotch, the dressing up box, different schools, boarding schools, sleepovers...soo many things.
So maybe I should have chosen children!! They're all equally in need I think :#

I ranked children first, because I think there's still so much that could be added to them for gameplay, and babies second. Young adults I ranked dead last. We've gotten plenty for them over the years.

I'm sad to see babies winning over kids. The last vote teens won, young adults get everything, and in the last vote even elders won more votes over kids. I'm tired of them being picked last ???? justice for the wittle children!! They need so many things!!!

Okay rant over. I chose kids toddlers then babies. Although babies need an upgrade for sure they are the shortest most meaningless lifestage "IN COMPARISON TO" kids or toddlers. I play my kids a for loooooong time and toddlers too. But babies even with an upgrade only for so long. I would hope they upgrade all three but kids are my priority.
