Some posssible update ideas

I am a long-time player of the sims freeplay and as much as I appreciate the current updates, there are some things that I feel the game is still missing (some updates that the game could benefit from)

  • locked doors: I think in order to have more control over how sims move throughout a home, players should be able to lock doors. This could be implemented with a simple button that reads "Lock door" whenever you click on a door. To unlock it, you simply click on the door again. This time the button should say "unlock door". This could help to keep certain sims out of or inside of a specific room to make gameplay more realistic.
  • More sims per lot: It's understandable that there are mobile restrictions for this game and having too many sims on one lot would cause crashes. However, the current number of sims per lot stands at 11, which isn't that many. It's a shame because the new architect homes are often well thought-out, big designs that could be very fun to use (for example a hotel), but due to this limit on the number of sims, they are often not worth using. Despite the new update on how many sims can live in one household, I feel like this number should also be increased.
  • More lots/more locations: I believe the sims freeplay developers are planning on adding more locations or generally more lots for homes, but I thought this would be worth mentioning anyway. I should add this includes locations similar to the "fairy forest" and "mermaid lagoon". 
  • Better/more customization options: Considering that sims freeplay has been around for many years, it's disappointing that the game never featured an update that included more customization options for our sims. For example: body type (fat-skinny), height, toned bodies, disabled bodies, etc. I would be ok with just being able to change to weight and height of my sims so that they don't all look the same. PLUS: I feel like we are still lacking some hairstyles (especially for the men). And some of the newly included hair often fits oddly onto my sims' heads. 
  • Hobbies: Generally, I feel the game could benefit from adding more hobbies for our sims. That being said, "cooking" should have the option of being done as a NON hobby. Having a stove in my sims' kitchens often feels redundant, as I know they won't be able to actively use it unless I give them the cooking hobby. But obviously, I don't want all my sims to have the same hobby. Maybe "cooking" could be classified as a "side-hobby", allowing sims to have this hobby AND a second one.
  • The park: The park in the main town could use more objects for sims to interact with. It often feels bland and boring. But this is more of a personal issue, as I could technically build my own park elsewhere. 
  • Influencer island and simchase: Although I enjoy each update and the new items they bring, I wish that "influencer island" and "simchase" didnt take over so much of it. I find these events quite boring and repetitive. I only partake in them to get the items at the end, but not because they are necessarily fun for me. 

I hope these suggestions are taken into consideration for future updates!
