Proposal New Sims Game
Proposal for a New Sims Game — The Ultimate Community Dream
Hello, EA and Maxis Team,
I've been a passionate fan of The Sims since its inception, and I want to share with you a dream that many players, like myself, yearn for: a new Sims game that fuses the best of all the previous installments (Sims 1, 2, 3, and 4), while also introducing innovations that make the experience even richer, deeper, and more free-flowing.
I want to imagine a game where:
Seamless, open world:
The player can move freely through a living world, without loading screens between neighborhoods, districts, or areas, so the experience is fluid and natural, like a true life simulation (just like The Sims 3).
Unlimited building and customization:
Being able to edit and create not just houses, but entire neighborhoods and landscapes with intuitive and powerful tools, allowing you to create everything from a modern city to a charming small town.
Sims with Real Emotional Depth:
I want Sims to have memories that affect their behaviors, emotions, and decisions over time, with complex relationships that evolve over time, including secrets, conflicts, and unforgettable moments.
Creating Sims with Soul:
A creation system that combines the depth of traits, aspirations, and characteristics from all series, with customizable options for appearance, personality, tastes, zodiac signs, compatibility system, and lifestyle, making each Sim unique (combining everything from The Sims 1, 2, 3, and 4 regarding this theme).
Realistic Transportation and Mobility:
Integrating functional modes of transportation, from cars and bikes to public transit or magic options, so that getting around is part of the experience (just like The Sims 2 or 3).
Creature and Role Diversity:
Include vampires, mermaids, ghosts, aliens, robots, fairies, wizards, and more, with their own stories and ways of interacting in the world, enriching diversity and narrative possibilities (as in The Sims 3 and 4).
Artistic and Cultural Expression:
Incorporate venues for live music, dancing, painting, writing, and other art forms into the game, encouraging creativity and social interaction, and even adding a new profession, such as singer or musician.
Family and Multigenerational Dynamics:
Simulate family life with generational changes, inheritances, unexpected events, and evolving personal stories, reflecting the complexity and beauty of real life. Also, allow others in The Sims to age, not just the family you control.
Realistic and Emotional Interactions:
Authentic animations and responses to interpersonal relationships, from simple gestures to profound displays of affection or conflict, to make Sims feel more alive and human (The Sims 2 and a bit of The Sims 3 and 4).
Integration of a Karma or Destiny system:
Where Sims' actions have lasting consequences on their lives and the world around them, encouraging meaningful choices.
Narrative and Roleplay Tools:
Easily enable players to create complex in-game stories, with options to guide events, dialogue, and Sims' destinies.
Sound and Music Customization:
Allow players to integrate or create their own music within the game and create custom radio stations, giving each world its own unique atmosphere.
Music Bands and Solo:
As in other Sims games, there's the option to create a rock band, or any band of any genre of music, or for an individual to be a musician of any genre they choose.
Layered clothing and hair, and more aesthetic freedom:
Clothes can be worn in sections (like in Sims 3), accessories can be combined freely, garments can be dyed in-game, and textures or patterns can be chosen. Also, hair can be layered and multiple colors.
Deep personality and memory system (like in Sims 2):
Sims have real memories, traumas, complex emotions, and their own opinions, all of which influence how they relate to each other and evolve over time.
Full life cycle and more age stages:
Infants, toddlers, pre-teens, teens, young adults, adults, seniors, and seniors, with unique activities, entertainment, and changes for each stage.
Improved weather system and natural cycles:
More realistic seasons, occasional natural disasters (storms, heavy snowfall, earthquakes), moon phases, eclipses, high and low tides in beach areas, etc.
More human and realistic relationships:
Unique hugs based on emotions, gentle caresses, deep reconciliations, painful breakups, jealousy, infidelity, love triangles, open or polyamorous relationships, etc.
Better-Developed Education and More Realistic Family Life:
Playable schools, colleges, and universities with realistic activities, interactions, teachers, personalized classes, homework, and a deeper social life for teens and young adults. Playable schools, preschool, high school, university, parent conferences, camps, adoptions, active grandparents, divorces, family secrets, legacies, and inheritances.
Advanced AI and Narrative Autonomy:
Autonomous Sims who act according to their personalities, relationships, and environment; NPCs who develop their own lives, find partners, work, and make mistakes.
Richer object interactions:
Each object has many realistic options, such as cleaning appliances, personalizing furniture, storing memories, playing instruments with emotions, or repairing things with real tools.
Modern in-game technology:
Deeper fictional social networks, influencers, in-game video games, streaming, online stores, dating apps, home automation, virtual assistants, etc.
Memory System and Photo Album:
Capture key moments in your Sim's life, save them in a journal or family album, relive them, and have them emotionally impact you in the future.
Events, festivals, and multifunctional packages:
Cultural/local celebrations, events (Christmas, fairs, carnivals), hotels, resorts, and mixed packages (shop + home, bars, sports centers).
Various hobbies and industries:
Skateboarding, yoga, organized sports (leagues), policing, firefighting, tattooing, worship, streaming, cooking, advanced gardening, science, creative roles and so on.
This new game would be the perfect bridge between the nostalgia of the classics and the innovation of the future, a gift to the community that wants to experience their stories with freedom, depth, and love.
Thank you for considering my vision. I'm excited to see how The Sims evolve and hope this idea provides inspiration for creating an unforgettable experience.
With all my love,
A passionate fan and dreamer who just wants everything from previous series combined into one game and more to come.
