What you think we could use in the sims 5?

- Open world
- Story progression. Inheritance system so that wealth is not destroyed when a household with relatives wither. Dynasties that make a decent attempt to survive and pass on their wealth, both material and cultural (cultivated wealthy families should have the ability and the will to provide a better than average education to their progeniture, and have it more skilled as a consequence).
- Bring back TS2 personalities. Traits are really good, being able to talk about what happened to them recently as well, and they could remain. But TS2 personnalities really don't cost much to implement and really made sims very unique; they were able to chat about more than there job, their 2,3 interest and their short term memories, and have more than on and off interest, their chit chat were usually deeper than TS3 "deep" conversation about favorite colors. Emotions are nice and all, but if Sims have a personality so shallow it cna be summed up in 3 traits, it's just like bad acting from empty shells. Traits allow to perform a few gimmicky actions. TS2 personallities potentially add a tweak to each everyday live action
- Better relationships. TS has it right that relationship are not linear, and romance, though not completely orthogonal to friendship, is an other dimension. But it could go further. You could have social kinship (a hobo will have a hard time being invited by rich people, let alone marry one; at least among those who follow the norm). You could have physical attraction, which instead of being a static and universal compound of fitness, alchemy and perks, could evolve when sims interacting with each other or witnessing each other dancing, acting, practicing sports (all with modifiers according to their personalities)
- Better autonomy. A Sim left on their own with every thing they need available should be able to consistently go to the bathroom and survive hunger and embarassement. Would also help implementing better relationships and personalities without overwhelming the user with menues.
- Memories. Any system is great, just keep it up. Also, more memory interaction, reminisce could be an actual memory rather than just a generic action you do with old friend; bring back the diary (having every sim wanting to vlog is ok, having every sim keeping a pen a paper diary probably isn't though, so I guess you'd need good personalities to make it believably uncommon)
- meaningful conversations. be able to ask Sims more than their job, their partner and their astrological sign. That three are great, but not sufficient. Ask about children (and learn a thing or two about them each time you do), talk about friends, have "get to know" interaction that have you actually get to know the other Sims (requires something to know in the first plaace, so again, better personalities).

This does not have to be the case. WA and University had your sims travel to other towns without losing your relationships. That base TS3 happens to have it that way does not mean that open world or neighborhood is incompatible with moving out

I don't know if this is even possible, but I would love to see custom difficulty levels so people could choose how challenging they want the game to be without resorting to mods. It'd be nice to have sliders or settings that let you decide whether you want sims to earn a lot of money or a little money at work, how difficult career advancement is, how difficult it is to earn new skills, bill amounts, etc.

I'm a generational player, but I like it to be difficult for my sims, especially in the beginning, and it would be nice if the game would allow for that (while still having an easier option for those who don't like to play that way) so I didn't have to find mods and worry about whether or not they're going to break my game, especially after a new patch.

I'd also like to see a lot more careers. There are two ways I could see this working. One would be to build some sort of a custom career tool within the Sims interface so you can type out the descriptions and choose skill requirements for each level (degree requirements and possibly age requirements should be options as well) and then you can add chance cards and add your own careers right into the game. You should also be able to modify existing careers if there's something you don't like about them.

Another option would be to maybe create a new type of pack called a Career Pack or something and have these packs focus on new careers with active options for those who want them, new career and skill objects, and new skills. People could customize their game with the jobs they wanted and ignore the ones they didn't, just like they can with Stuff Packs now. Each pack could revolve around a theme, like healthcare careers, adventurous careers, food careers, etc.

Again, I know nothing about the technical aspects of creating a game like The Sims, so I don't know how difficult any of this would be to make, but it would be very cool to see.

Other than the gallery, throwing any kind of multiplayer feature out the window, and solely focusing on a single-player life simulation. Of course, given rumors, and that this game is already well into development, we know that's probably not gonna happen.

While most games in the Sims franchise are serious with a side of comedy, TS4 is exactly the opposite. I want realism with a bit of humor. Not a bad parody of life like TS4 is.

Sims: a more photorealistic model for the Sims; nothing cartoon-like. Traiting, and behaviors should be a mix of the TS2 and TS3 system. TS2 attraction system. Same as, if not more traits than TS3 allows us to add. Wants/Fears as well.

Gameplay. Multitasking is a great feature of TS4. TS2 has very detailed animations for everything Sims do. TS4 UI could use a little work, but only because with a new game should be an improved UI. And, uh, cars should be in an early EP.

Worlds. Big ones. Some of us may already have seen the feature in Paralives where the player is allowed to set lot sizes. Thus, they should not be fixed. Thus, if I want houses right up on top of each other, or rural farms with lots of green space; I can do that. TS4 worlds have way too much buffer. Open worlds.

Features. Well, cars. Sims shouldn't really have a cellphone, until they purchase it. EPs should focus on adding meaningful features to the game, and be interoperable wtih features in other games. Their features solely shouldn't focus on the world it is shipped with. Closed-ended storylines, like in Strangerville, have no place in the type of game The Sims is. Vacation worlds should be any world in the game, not purpose-built. If a vacation pack is done, it should have an AirBnB type feature, that allows them to rent vacatation homes from other Sims as well as own residential/camping lots in other worlds.
Other features:

World Builder from the start. TS2 and TS3 both have this feature, TS4 doesn't.

I would take the "Sim Stories" feature to a whole new level; by having the option to upload a photo and the game automatically create a Sim based on it. I stink at doing facial features; and body proportions are usually all wrong.

I like creating detailed toons, and I also love creating the housing - and I understand you can also create shops, clubs, etc. What I would like to see is more than that. Now, I haven't played all that long, and I know there is supposed to be a little bit of directed action in Strangerville and the Jungle Adventures, but I would like to see a lot more (fairly simple, though) tasks/quests to enhance the sims life. And more places, and that Create a World that has been mentioned, and the given neighborhoods with at least 10-12 more slots each, plus as part of the base game at least 2-4 empty neighborhoods. Maybe also an easy neighborhood 'copier'.

So, for instance, I would, as a person who is OCD, like to have the base neighborhoods I 'but' in the base game and packs. I would like to be able to copy either the existing neighborhood as is OR as a fully empty one, and in the SAVE save section. I would like, in addition with what the Sims can do now, to have loads more activities and places to explore. I would like more interactive items for activities. I would like to have a number of simple work, education, travel, creative, and scavenger hunt, and mysterious quests that let the sims use their personalities to reveal things and have places to go and things to do besides just work and automatic swimming and stuff.

One thing I would like to see them bring back in TS5 is more pets. We used to be able to go horse back riding and take our dogs to training competitions, raise a fox if we wanted to...I would even like to see some goats and chickens so i could have an actual farm.

Paralives instead of Sims 5.

These ideas are just for the base game but in general I would like a calendar like sims 4 (maybe without the preset events at first, added events with packs and mainly connected to horoscopes), open neighbourhoods, color wheel (different form the sims 3 which to me most times ended up kind of tacky) and certainly most of the things that should come with the base game from the start. Keep the free patches but I don't want things that should have always been there to be done 5 years later or something. For building I would like split levels, curved walls, the thing they are doing now with the windows and doors but from the get go and to be actually able to put one window under the other.

My main change (or at least the one I thought about the most) would be personalities. I would put 4 main categories: Aspirations, general "aspects" & horoscope, traits and on/off or preferences.

Aspects & horoscopes would be kind of like in sims 2 (sloppy-neat, shy-outgoing, lazy-active, serious-playful and grouchy-nice) and whatever combination you do on that gives you a sign. I don't think much can be added to that through packs BUT I would like the aspects to change with gameplay (actions and maybe therapy) and those changes to have an effect on sims' emotions. Also extremes should be actually extremes. Horoscopes in general would affect relationships (some signs prefer/despise other signs), with the calendar your sim is born on a sign and gets the default aspects and they age up when it's the sign day/season (this is a whole other thing i thought about concerning how many signs there are and how long each life stage lasts but it would make the comment too long).

I would keep the 3 traits per sim and updates to the list with packs. Those don't change with gameplay and are more like a plus for the personality so I don't think we need many more. Now with the sims 4 it bothers me because all of the aspects (or similar) which i see as basic are traits and there are only 3 slots.

On/off, likes/dislikes, preferences or however you wanna call it would be kind of like in the sims 2&3. It would be cool to set it for young adults to elders but have the youngers develop them through memories and gameplay. Like maybe they don't like black hair because their enemy as a child had black hair, they like swimsuits because something great happened when they were wearing them, they listen so much to a certain station or eat so much of a certain dish that when they grow older those are their favourites.

Edit: also I forgot, I don't want it to be multiplayer or at least have an option to opt out of it.
