Hi ya'll! I'm Randie Reigns and I am here to talk about the next version of the Sims - If we, the players, could design it! I'm sure many of you have been watching, listening, and waiting. We're hungry for the next installment. We're guessing, wishing, hoping, and we're a little terrified. Come on ya'll. We like Sims 4. (You just rolled your eyes. Didn't you? LOL) But hey, you can rant, you can complain, however how we really feel is based on numbers. It's not personal. It's business. You think so much about the latest game. I pay attention to the community. I watch the videos. I read your posts - yet you still buy every single pack. You're in love my friend. As long as you continue to open your wallet, no true change will come. The amount of content, the way the content feels unfinished, the glitches, they won't change much. If it works, don't change it. That's the real world guys. Plain and simple. But this is not a complaining thread. It's not even a wishing thread. This is the life simulator we wish existed. Post a feature. Describe it. Post pics if you have them or make them and if you agree with the post, comment, like, and love it! Who knows, maybe our ideas will make it to reality. Remember, be kind to each other. This is meant to be fun. If you don't like the idea, scroll on. Let's let everyone have their dream. :D

WORLD CREATION I am a creator. I love it. From building the world to making characters. The more I can design, the more I love it. My favorite Sim look is Sims 4. It's beautiful. I love the lightening and the scale. I want this in a new game with a few tweaks: I love Sims 4 CAS. I use mods for this hair and makeup. It would be great if it came that way. It makes a huge difference and in my opinion, the sims look perfect with only those tweaks. I would be okay with a few more sliders, but not too many. We don't want it to get too complicated, right? I would like to make some of my sims bigger. Even at the largest mass, some of them are too skinny. I enjoy playing with the fitness aspect. Make a sim as large as I can and see if I can make them loose the weight. I'm weird like that. LOL. Color wheel. Definitely a must for any creator. I love the building system in 4. I definitely want that in a new game. The only change would be to foundations. I would like to build a garage that is flat to the ground and have it attached to a house with a foundation. No Fakes. Only playable buildings. I want to design every single building in the neighborhood. I want to design the roads, the trees, everything! It has to be part of the game. No external programs. Sims 2 did this well. A modern version would be amazing! And don't forget the terrain editor! No rabbit holes buildings. This goes along with the design everything aspect. I used to love making my stores in Sims 2 and then going inside and watching the Sims use it. Plus, we have get to work in 4. So we know it can be done. And yes, of course, I want open neighborhoods, because I am one of those creators that likes to sit back and watch Sims live in the world I created. Not an open world. I'm good with the map to switch between worlds, although it would be cool to connect the neighborhoods however we wished. Just so we can watch our sims drive from one place to another. I used to play a game called Yoworld that gave us a way to connect our houses so we could go from one to another by just clicking an arrow. I enjoyed that. Well, this seems like a lot of options and I know I said just one feature at a time, but this is one big thing for me. The world creation. It is my number one for a game. Just a few features, from existing games, rolled into one would make a new game close to perfect.

Sims 2, updated to easily run on modern computers, plus the best features of the others in the series. Not an exhaustive list:TS1 - vendor carts, 2 types of restaurants depending on host station used, the separate ice cream/pastry/burgers etc. food counters, the little pond where you could feed fish and sail little boats with the shack where you got the fish food, boats, and picnic baskets, each type of clothing had its own unique display, the chemistry set, bucking bronco ride, the New Orleans type area that was complete with wraught iron decorations and the wandering street musicianTS3 - open world, create a world, color wheel for sims and their stuff, create a style, the ability to truly go underwaterts4 - the actual improvements in build mode & CAS, the ability to tinker with your sims in game, overall graphics qualitygeneral - NO fakery in worlds. If it's on the map, sims should be able to get there and do stuff, wide open lot placement

I'd like to add the Sims 3 color swatches to the build/buy mode instead of the limited ones in the Sims 4, this would allow for so much more creativity and I feel like it would cut down on complaints about items in base game and/or new packs because we would be able to customize it the way we like.I couldn't get into gameplay in the Sims 4 as much as building so some kind of upgrade to the personalities or how sims interact with each other would be nice to keep the game playable.

I have zero expectation of that, but as a thought exercise, it's a great description of where I think the series should go / should have gone.

I know this is a bit specific, but if they ever did a "different" Star Wars DLC, I'd like to see an alien species customizer (Zabrak, Togruta, Twi'lek, maybe Chiss, etc).

I enjoy Batuu however, I wish we could get a parody of Star Trek in the Sims 4 vanilla that is. I so want Klingons.

I want the UI to be planned with the expansions in mind. For example, all the 'Career' options should be under 'Career' from the very start. Doing 'Business' research or 'Spy' stuff should all be under this Careers option. There should be an 'Occult' section with subsections for each occult type. 'Vampire Secrets' on the computer should be under that 'Occult' section.

Stalls, bars, waitstaff, and other job-holding townies should be taken from a special townie set just for that purpose. As hilarious as it is for Vladislaus Straud to man the hot dog stall, it gets old quickly.

TS2 sims - animations, personalities, wants/fears, attraction system, teens, memory systems, turn ons and turn offs, astrological signs, personality points and their related constraints (lazy sims don't have the option to run places), 4th wall goodness, autonomous scolding and worrying interactions, literally everything about them... remake that in a contemporary game... copy/paste all of the code if need be

TS2 photo albums and family jewelry

TS2 lots - fully customizable residential and community lots and allow for megahoods again

TS2 careers - the base game should come with these

TS2 clock - it shouldn't take hours to eat dinner

TS3 world - open it up entirely, with loading screens only for different worlds that sims would have to fly to

TS3 ability to buy worlds by themselves

TS4 CAS - shoes, weight, hair all that

TS4 separation of supernatural and normal packs - with the exception of Get to Work, EA did a good job in this iteration of allowing fantasy/supernatural players to get all of the games they love without forcing realism players to find mods to remove them because they were bundled with critical normal gameplay expansions... in fact I hope TS5 does this better. No big bear costumes, no aliens in a job related pack, NO DUST BUNNIES

TS4 follow to work - having some careers where you go to work and complete challenges

TS4 packs and packs and packs
