If this game
- is a multiplayer game
- online-game
- multiplayer with the single-player mode
- is subscription based
- lacks a feature to create own worlds
- lacks a feature to rename your own worlds
- lacks in at least having (half-open neighborhoods)
- saves names (instead of numbers)
- has no color wheel (without a doubt an absolute no-no)
- remains to be stale with not enough animations for gameplay (including more depth to relationships between adults, siblings, and friends)
- does not have a fleshed-out personality system as in previous games like TS2 and TS3
- has no option to have multiple best friends (there are humans who have more than one best friend)
- please no more bulky, chunky, too big, ugly, or over-the-top meshes in all categories. (CC creators are doing better jobs - step up)
I don't want it and I'm not interested in this. :s I stick with TS4 and older as long they work. B)
But if this game has
- meaningful relationships, that have effects based on behavior
- a fleshed-out family tree with editable relationships in CAS (Aunts, Affairs, Boy/Girlfriends, etc.) in CAS
- Lifestages, of course, Baby, Infants, Toddler, Children, Teens, Young Adults, Adults, and real Elders
- Depth in character (more traits, zodiac signs, likes, and dislikes all tied to Life Aspirations/ Life Goals)
- provides high-quality assets in texture and meshes
- makes sure that a Quality Team delivers (with enough testers) Quality Checks and Devs fix major issues before the launch (yes it's possible - look at other games, there are a bunch who are able to deliver constant same quality)
- an option to save clothing styles in CAS and apply them to categories of our desire.
- an option to apply makeup/acc to all categories
- an option to create your own outfit category (Dates, Family Gatherings, Festive Events, whatever, etc.)
- way more variation regarding skin-details vitiligo, wrinkles, birthmarks, full body freckles, etc. (TS4 is a joke)
- nails, eyelashes, body hair, more tattoos (something skully/fower-ish (with a bad boy/girl vibe) on the chest, LOL)
- A variety of everyday plain hairstyles all ages, genders, and races (especially, classic bob, long straight/wavy,/curly hair, and updo (Ballerina Dutt, Man Bun)
- grouped sets of meshes that can be used separately (e.g. hutch, shelving units with decoration elements)
- Low sideboards as bookcases, low sideboards in general
- a ton of basic clutter for all rooms (modern everyday clutter for all rooms that have been sold to us in kits, don't forget tableware)
- sleek modern, elegant mesh designs in Maxis-Match (CC quality - Maxis-Match CC creators I'm looking at your incredible work)
- Implement iconic and cute features from previous games (and look what the CC Community did here e.g. freezer bunny, Cowplant Skulls, implemented as CAS assets in accessories)
I pay the full price for this at launch as I want this and more! :D <3
Basegame ;) should have - no excuse whatsoever:
- Weather
- Pets
- all basic features (come on a pool without a diving board is like a kitchen without counters or stove)
- Depth in gameplay. A very good fleshed-out relationship (also dating) system with consequences (Emotions and behavior do have consequences in real life.
- Implement fun interactions like refusing, canceling, calling off the relationship, being on a bad term if they disagree, etc. )
- Basic animations "chilling on the ground, on the sofa, on the bed, cuddling, holding hand in hand, walking hand in hand) I miss togetherness!
- Stargazing (Couples hug each other and look up into the sky) friends sitting on the ground and lookup)
- Meaningful cute animations (sitting on the ground and chatting, reading a book on the bed, couples cuddling after woohoo), etc., watching TV while chilling on a sofa (not just sitting - different variations)
- Color Wheel in all categories (CAS/BUILD/BUY) with a base neutral
- way more standard jobs (you can join them)
- Venues Types (regardless if hidden or not provide a matching venue type on the gallery)
- Gallery should contain filters added by year, and must-have criteria before uploading (how many beds/bathrooms, family-friendly yes/no, etc.)
- Allow games to take in-game screenshots for Gallery uploads.
- more Gallery-Poses based on Relationships set up in CAS.
- Preventing Features (to copy creation and claim it as yours, or getting awarded by Maxis for being a thief)
- add modern (2020+) designs across all categories
- The opportunity to create our own catalog categories as in TS2 (we should be able to categorize items based on our needs)
- each room category should have their own misc category
At all times it always should provide complete sets for all ages and in CAS/BUY/BUILD.
This game needs a way more stable and consequent structure :|
The general approach should be done as follows:
- Provide slots for new assets (e.g. piercings are new, add a new slot)
- new skin detail (new slot) - don't squeeze them into categories they don't belong
- give a few custom slots (so CC creators can use them)
Incomplete full sets of one style are simply horrid! :s
- Dining (always provide a matching single, double (classic), and long (conference) table)
- Lights (for wall, ceiling, floor, outdoor)
- Beds (always one style for all ages (babies, toddlers, single, and adults)
- Floors and Walls should have modern styles and match/complement each other
- Windows/Doors/Arches (if more than one height - make this one style available for all heights)
- Stairs/Spindreles, Columns, Railings, Fences (complete sets)
- Clothing (top, bottom, shoes)If outfits have more than one piece, separate the meshes as well and give us those so that we can reuse them with other assets)
Self-Evident things that should not need to be mentioned but done!
- deliver the same quality standard for all assets
- complete sets in all areas
- make assets functional where it makes sense (candles, light switches, etc.)
- all assets should have a base neutral / muted color palette including black and white. This should be standard and pretty self-evident.
Structure your DLCs
- all DLCs in CAS should have the same amount of meshes for all ages/genders and at least be converted/adopted! No Gender/Age Discrimination!
- clearly communicate the distinguished difference between all packs
- make sure it's cross-compatible and works will all future DLC before you publish it
- expand features in older DLCs if you have new ones (e.g. club system in Get Together did get new features but no new club icons)
- don't cut the costs on Quality Testing before publishing. The community should not be your beta-tester for paid content!
The inconsistency in quality in TS4 regarding meshes, function, and textures is simply insane and super bad! Hope that's a lesson for future releases. (I doubt that but yeah it's annoying)
A business company should always provide high quality - and this is not the job of the community!
We are so freakin' advanced in technology compared to more than 20 years ago. Damn it - this should be all possible if I look at all other games and what they can do! But we will see what TS5 will look like and if it will have way better features - Honestly? there are NO excuses why all this should not be possible! :#
Overall I have sort of doubts that we will get much improvement compared to TS4 - this could be the best version. It's possible but passion and love for this game would need to be the driving force! <3
