Okay mine isn’t super well drafted but here’s some bullet points:
-adjust the economics of the game, ie salaries and bills or the cost of some items. Make it harder to earn money, it’s so easy to get rich fast right now. We want to struggle more!
-I’d love to see more events in the base game, I really enjoyed the concert this summer and would love to see more limited time events like that. But I’d also love to see some regularly scheduled stuff in the base game worlds, things like a toddler book reading at the library on a weekday morning, block parties in willow creek neighborhoods, a family fun day at the pool in oasis springs, stuff like that. Block parties could have pop up vendors with foods and drinks and little things you can buy/collect and bring out all the families of townies, like how in Sulani the kids festival has more kids around. But unlike the sulani festivals I’d like these things to be on the calendar so we know they’re happening.
--more deadly fires, let the fires spread easier especially now that we have fire fighters. Right now the fire often goes out before the fire fighters even show up to my house. This could be implemented as a lot challenge so players could choose to have it equipped or not.
-go on a walk, like go for a jog but just walking around the neighborhood (similar to hiking), make it something you can do “with” another sim and allow all ages to participate. Going on afternoon family walks would be so cute!
-going off of that^ have toddlers spawn in more public places like the park, have toddlers meet other toddlers at daycare
-when throwing a party let the list of people to invite be everyone known to the HOUSEHOLD not just the one sim, I want to be able to invite my toddler or kids friends without having to know all of them as the parent
-let pregnant sims age and die!! Why can’t they? They did in previous iterations and it doesn’t make sense why they don’t now. I don’t mean to be morbid but it’s just another way the sims 4 is too idyllic.
-more in game options to set age and season lengths. Also pregnancy length, if I’m on long lifespan my sim should be pregnant longer than 3 sim days, ideally I’d like to be able to set it completely ourselves but at least adjust pregnancy length for the lifespan length
-more stuff for toddlers to do, they need a base game outdoor activity. Like just a regular swing set with a little slide attached to the side, no new animations needed, toddlers could use the slide and kids would get the swings
-whims that make sense! Not every sim wants a bee box. ? I’d love to see them function more like wants from ts2, meaningful and would stay locked between gameplay sessions.
-Zoomers should deliver to where the sim currently is- let my sims order take out while they study at the library or if I’m living above my business and wanna order dinner I don’t wanna have to travel back to my home lot!
-let households own multiple properties, I want the landgraabs to actually own a lot of land/houses, and off of that being able to rent houses in different worlds, not just apartments. Similar to the rental system but as a permanent residence. You could rent a starter home in willow creek that’s owned by the landgraabs while you save up to build your dream home in brindleton bay. Or buying a second home in Sulani, these little things would add so many gameplay and storytelling elements.
-personal wallets for sims in a household, and/or piggy banks that sims could “save” money in. Then kids could use “their” money to buy voidcritter cards or treats at the pop up festivals. And would give teens more of a reason to work part time jobs, they could save up for university or moving out on their own.
