Wondering about Builder Options

I know you can't talk about anything in concrete fashion about packs and expansions that are coming out. However, I was wondering if we were ever going to have the option to place multiple windows on the same wall with other windows or doors and both being functional. That's one building option that I've really been looking to come out, but it never has. It would also be great for builders to be able to have transparent floors for glass walkways. I know Maxis has had their hands full with the content they are already working on atm. Still, things like split levels, ladders for tiny homes, elevators on non-Myshuno lots, multi-window walls, new sliding door options, and new gates and fences are things that builders like me have been looking forward to having for some time.

Sure, I could download modded versions, but they don't always work properly. Plus, modded versions just don't have the same personality that many Maxis creations have. I guess I'm just wondering whether or not builders will get any of these functions. Even a maybe would be great, if you can't tell us for sure. It'd be something exciting to keep our eyes open for in the upcoming content. I'm never able to make to the monthly updates you do, lately. So, I never get to ask these things, while you are on the air.
  • I agree! But hey have to make decent elevators... San Myshuno elevators are a joke.
  • Yeah, but the first elevators in Sims 3 had issues too. They may have to tweak existing protocols and functions to make them better. I'd just like to see the ladders at the very least. We could make real functional tiny homes with those. Heck, I'd be happy with a bookshelf that doubles as a staircase. We could put collectables on display, read from the bookcase, and if they added locker-like functionality to it, we might be able to use it as a dresser. Multipurpose objects are absolutely a must in tiny home builds. We also don't have the Murphy beds that we had in Sims 3, yet. (Unless they are in a different expansion pack I don't have) I'd be happy to see those make a comeback. However, I know that they are busy with the content they are working on atm too. I just wanna know whether there's something in the works right now that's going to excite builders as much as everyone else that plays Sims. I love the game play, but I do spend a lot of time building.
  • There were also the spiral staircases, which they haven't brought back. Those only took up four spaces. That's actually quite useful, but I'm not sure whether they would recreate those, at this point. I would be happy, if they did though.
