Suggestions regarding the basics of the game

Last year I suggested a lot of stuffs, mostly suggesting enhancing the community lots. This time around I want to talk some more basic stuffs before the game moves on to more fancy stuffs.


  • Improve the Sim AI, especially the one for children, toddlers and the elder. Currently the elders do nothing but stay around and chat. The toddlers do nothing but wandering around and shaking their bodies or look at stuffs. The children are the same with toddlers. It's one thing to not to be able to control them, it's another to not even see them interacting with stuffs. If you think that's too much, at least make some idle animations, like the children suddenly kneels down and grab a homework notebook out of nowhere to do homework, and a toddler takes out a toy and start to play.
  • Fix the details of some animations. Namely, "Tuck In" a toddler should call the toddler there and make the toddler actually lies in bed, not stand like a wood miles away. "Watch TV" or "Play Video Games" should at least show us the TV screen? Who knows what's so interesting about a black screen. And if possible, let them sit down and watch TV. And I don't even want to talk about the "Play Games" on arcade or painting on an easel is the same animation as standing still and viewing arts.
  • Increase the item limit as more stuffs get released. I've been playing since launch and guess what? I can't even place out my heirlooms or else I hit the item limit. This also applies to Izzy's creations. You released a bunch of new clothes in the shop and did not increase the limit? WOW.
  • The screenshot button Seriously what's so hard about a screenshot option? Or if that's asking for too much, hiding the UI after not interacting with the game for a period of time also works.
  • Free angles in public lots. After an update the angle was more limited and now in the club I can't even take a good picture of the DJ---Because that angle was not reachable. There used to be a lot more freedom.
  • The items unlocked in the Photography career is able to grant more party points, but has not party icon above it.


Basically these are stuffs I think should be fixed in the currant game.

  • I understand the game needs to generate money but please figure out a more meaningful way to do so and actually release stuff we WANT to pay for. 2000 sim cash for a hot tub? No thank you! A pack with new gameplay and themed sets to go with it? Yes okay, for a reasonable price.
  • - I would love the system of potions to gain weight, to lose weight, to grow old and to make sims young again. Sometimes I would like to keep my sim for more than a week at stake, which is very difficult since the current lifetime is very short and even making him elderly and keeping him at home, an hour he will eventually go away.

    - And I would love to see the return of the gardening system coming to the game. Planting would be a great hobby to make money (and maybe even a plant with a fruit that increases the life time of sims).

    - Painting it's another thing that I would love see coming soon.
  • I wish my local NPCs were not all old, gray, and retired. There’s not a marriageable one in my whole game. It’s kinda depressing.
  • I would like to see it a bit easier to earn n save sim cash as i have a super fixed income and cant spend a whole lot if anything on the game and I love playing but its so hard to save up sim cash when the surprising choices all require you pay for something or end up with a sim whos mad or sad and unusable till they arent. Also the Piano hobby n photography career are so expensive I feel ill never unlock them and ive completed all other possible hobbies n careers.
    I also believe that we need some type of organization in the storage because its hard to find something when you have to scroll thru everything cuz when you get to my level there is just so much stuff in there.
  • 1. The option for a second floor: this have probably been mentioned,the option for a second floor like a duplex would be really cool, u guys can make an option in the game when clicked will go to the second floor since building slot for rooms is only 13.
    2. Clothing and Hairstyle: As I go up in levels, I see more and more furniture unlocked. Okay, that's not bad. but what I'd really like to see is more cosmetic options for my character(s). I'd like to see more hairstyles, more beard styles, more clothing, etc. Can we get some more of those?
    3. Swimming pool & Hot tubs: Also, we need hot tubs and or swimming pools to be available to all players and not through and event priced preferably using Home tickets or 7,000 simoleons or 20-40 Sim cash.
    4. BBQ party: This is more of a materialistic suggestion but it'd be nice to be able to build your own patio with flooring that you can add outside and also a grill so your sims could host a BBQ party or maybe incorporate it into the foodie party. When I first started playing the game and saw the outdoors icon I thought there would be BBQ's so I was very disappointed to only see shrubs and hedges.
    5. More levels : when i started playing the game i thought it was going to last like forever, but when i saw that lvl 40 max, i was so disappointed.
    6. More careers: There are other careers like Accountants, pilot, Architectural and Civil Drafters, Barbers, Cashiers and so on but, why just 7 careers? we need more pls.
    7. Lockable doors - can't a sim knock before entering someone else house, i would love a way to stop/block random family members hanging out in the bathroom and other areas of my house.
    8. More places: can't we take the entire family out to an amusement pack, beach or any other fun places.
    9. Party time takes 1 week so frustrating pls, reduce the time taken to throw a party.
    10. So much fun brainstorming and daydreaming! We want event that Sim kids can be part of. How cute would a playground or school be! really will a child/kid grow up in a house to become an engineer without going to school.I hope they roll out something new like that soon!
    11. More sims maybe
    12. More events like haloween, christmas, new year e.t.c
    I really think It would make a great addition to the game.
