The Sims 4 Ideas
Trait System Make it two types of traits: zodiac traits and the traits in the current game. The zodiac traits can be further divided into three parts, please refer to here. Society System Make it four types of society: modern society, future society, primeval society, medieval society. Each type of society matches and restricts its own society functions, clothing styles, goods, house styles and occupations, etc. After 112 days, the game automatically changes the type of current society. Sims who originally live in future society survive in primeval society because of the end of the world, and become gods in the eyes of primitive Sims. Building System Add half-tile walls and platforms, walls and platforms with a height of 0.125 times, walls and platforms hanging down from the ceiling, buildable prominent window sills, vertical sloping walls and platforms (22.5 degrees per rotation), rain gutters, cabinets for ancestral tablets, more single-tile sliding doors and functions of rotating objects horizontally and vertically in a discontinuous manner (22.5 degrees per rotation). CAS System Make it a discontinuous voice slider (mid-value can be taken). Add more interpersonal titles in family tree, such as uncle, aunt, cousin, father-in-law, brother-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, etc. Others Make it no longer cause mutual penetration and superposition between Sims.
Greece & the Cycladic Islands - New World w/Hotels, New Foods & Nectar Making, the Zodiac
This is my Idea for a new vacation/neighborhood where it is possible to purchase a vacation home or stay in a hotel. There is a ton to do and see here. It combines all the features of previous beach zones with some old favorite activities from Past Sims games. If you have Dining out the Taverna should be a restaurant Lot. It also has little bonus unlocks if you have certain other packs. As a small nod to those who want farming packs check out the Olive Groves & Nectaries and Sheep Pastures SCROLL SLOWLY! There is commentary and descriptions I know it's a lot but its worth your time. Overview New Greek Food - For Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Beverages, and Baked Goods New Harvestable Fruits, Veggies & Herbs Composting & Compost Bin Vegetable Stand Butter Churn for Sheep Milk & The Cow's Milk from Country Living New Interests - Nectar Making, Pottery, Sculpture Making, Scuba Diving, Weaving? New Places to use Archeology - Plus Underwater Archeology New Skills - Scuba Diving (Deep Dives, Not Just Snorkeling), Nectar Making, Olive Pressing, Pottery Making, Maybe even Weaving, A case could also be made for Sculpture carving 4 of the 7 Wonders of the World New Woo-hoo spots - Dive Cave & Hammock Adventure Zone with Traps and Treasures like Sims 3 World Adventures from the Labyrinth of the Minotaur Plenty of Site Seeing old ruins like several of the Wonders of the Ancient World, The Island of Delos etc. Island Hopping on Yachts Metal Detecting Souvenir Shopping - Yes shopping local stores and buying things to bring back just like Sims 2 Blessings from the Greek Gods Working Hotels with Room Service & Maid Service and Concierge Service Vacation Homes for Rent or purchase Bakeries Tavernas on the Beach - not shacks New Tattoos The Zodiac Two new unlock-able Breeds for Cats & Dogs Several new wild and local animals types including Raising Sheep and Goats - Because in Greece Lamb is what's for dinner A new standalone Spa Treatment - The Hammam New Lots - Like Olive Grove and Nectar Vineyard, Bakery, Sheep Pastures, Temple Ruins, Souvenir Shop, Dive Zones, and the Agora New Pool Mosaics & Curved Pool edges Painted Ceilings Hammocks, Wood Fire Ovens, Pool Bars, Potter's Wheel, Butter Churn for Sheep's Milk Learning traditional dance and Greek Music Channel Cetus the Kraken & The Minotaur I think the pack should just be filled with Clash of the Titans (1981 it's the better and more quotable movie) references as well as Greek Mythology "A Titan Against a Titan!" - I honestly would love to hear that in Simlish as well as "Release The Kraken!" Map of Mainland Greece, The Cycladic Islands & Crete http://www.sailingissues.com/greekislands/cyclades/cyclades-yacht-charters.png The Climate of the Cycladic Islands Spring, from mid-March to May, is mild and quite sunny, but it's also windy. There are some periods of bad weather which gradually become more rare. Summer, from June to mid-September, is warm and sunny, but also windy. The Meltemi blows for long periods, especially in July and August, and it's stronger in the afternoon, but can insist also in the evening. In some cases, wind gusts may exceed 70 kph (45 mph). Thanks to this wind, the maximum temperature is usually below 30 °C (86 °F), and even in the hottest periods, when in other parts of Greece the temperature can reach or exceed 40 °C (104 °F), here, it does not exceed 34/35 °C (93/95 °F). Autumn, from mid-September to November, is initially warm and sunny, but it gradually becomes cooler and rainier. Autumn too is windy: as long as the weather is nice, the Meltemi still blows, while later, the wind blows along with autumnal depressions. Winter, from December to mid-March, is mild, quite rainy and windy. The wind, frequent and sometimes violent, makes the air feel colder than it actually is. The island is located north enough and close enough to the mainland to receive cold air with some frequency, to the point that there can be cold days, with highs below 10 °C (50 °F), and sometimes even snow can fall. The Cycladic Islands can get Hurricanes but usually lesser ones. Unlockables & Inter-Pack Functions Unlocks I tried to think of little things that could have inter-pack function that could breath new life into older packs as well as flesh out this one. These are all I could think of that would be somewhat seamless. Seasons - Weather - Hot & Dry and Windy Cats & Dogs - Kokoni new dog breed exclusive to this zone. Aegean Cat New Breed for this area Greek Key Pet Collar https://img1.etsystatic.com/018/0/8100590/il_fullxfull.510092019_b7kn.jpg Greek Flag Pet Bowl https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2f/30/32/2f3032a80c4e1d64bcd5346fcd7036c5.jpg Greek Key Pet Bowl - https://rlv.zcache.com/elegant_greek_key_monogram_pet_bowl-r9441fffed1a3421fae9385857af156b3_2iwel_8byvr_307.jpg Greek Temple Inspired Dog House https://static01.nyt.com/images/2012/06/28/garden/28DOG2/28DOG2-jumbo.jpg Dog Bed with the Greek Key Symbol https://i.pinimg.com/originals/61/a2/b2/61a2b2bc8661099c0c7dc42c1a395342.jpg Dining Out - The Taverna - I think this would come in the form of an unlocked Dining Out style restaurant lot that you can sub out for the one that comes standard. Lets say that the Taverna lot that comes standard is just another food stall on a lot and if you have Dining Out you can go into the pre-mades and replace it with the unlocked restaurant. Also all the food from this pack gets added to the list of foods you can put on the Dining Out Menu Island Living & Realm of Magic - Poseidon's Blessing for Spellcasters & Mermaids. Also the Dolphin is Greece's national animal. I also don't see why the crab traps shouldn't work here if you had both packs. Jungle Adventure - New Archeology Zone and underwater archeology Get to work - Bakery is a new own-able lot type. Not to say that this one won't be available in the expansion if you don't have Get to Work just that it won't be own able on other lots like it would be currently if you didn't have GTW. Ground Set Hot Tubs - If you have Hot Tubs which I think we all do now if that last one was a Base Game Update Build items I'd love a bit of architecture from Ancient Greece and the Modern Cyclades Fundamentals of Ancient Geek Architecture https://sites.google.com/site/arth372exhibition/_/rsrc/1520244263808/greek-architecture/Diagram%20of%20a%20Greek%20Temple.jpg http://ancientgreekarchitecturemade.weebly.com/uploads/5/2/5/4/52548257/5936760_orig.gif Doric Columns https://cdn7.dissolve.com/p/D1028_51_005/D1028_51_005_1200.jpg Ionic Columns http://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large/parthenon-ionic-columns-carrie-kouri.jpg Corinthian Columns http://sasgreekart.pbworks.com/f/1228491765/ZeusOlympusPillars.jpg Architecture of the Cycladic Islands Cycladic Stairs Against the bright Blue Sea https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0b/8a/90/0b8a906c82eebe86a2d4d9e7e51c32e7.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/2e/b2/45/2eb245aa0f2167d3f55717425d2f78ea--vacation-villas-vacation-rentals.jpg Gorgeous Walking Street Set against the Aegean Sea http://s1.picswalls.com/wallpapers/2014/07/28/greek-architecture-background_120601364_112.jpg http://blog.greeka.com/wp-content/uploads/folegandros.jpg A Private Home The Windmills https://blog.mykonosvillas.com/images/blogposts/2018/07/Windmills-mykonos-m.jpg Pretty Doorway & Pottery https://www.greeka.com/photos/ionian/architecture/hero/ionian-architecture-2-1280.jpg Archway & Cobblestone Alley http://s1.picswalls.com/wallpapers/2014/07/28/greek-architecture-high-quality-wallpaper_12060257_112.jpg Deep Blue Window Trim & Shutters https://www.greeka.com/blog/uploads/cyclades.jpg https://christinabtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/image2-8-1.jpeg Interior of House Kitchen Area http://decoholic.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/greek_island_7_style_interior_design1.jpg Interior of Home Living Room & Bedroom https://www.busyboo.com/wp-content/uploads/greek-home-design-7.jpg Bathroom https://i.pinimg.com/originals/20/df/6c/20df6caa323df5747aa946901cb4c87a.jpg http://decoholic.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/greek-interior-design-39.jpg Stucco Fireplace https://cdn.trendir.com/wp-content/uploads/old/house-design/assets_c/2014/07/amazing-views-architecture-place-stay-16-dining-thumb-970xauto-45570.jpg https://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large/2-cycladic-architecture-manolis-tsantakis.jpg Mykonos Marina https://sail-la-vie.com/images/locations/Mykonos-Marina-1-Sailing-Mykonos-Cyclades-Greece.jpg Night Time Street Scene http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2ezRJIqgc5I/Th8pGYp3TVI/AAAAAAAAATc/ELACJ_lxGyY/s1600/mykonos-town-at-night-steve-outram.jpg Painted Ceilings https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0d/7c/be/0d7cbe65eb75505a1afc526e8ac26e9a.jpg http://travelphotobase.com/i/IE/IEDPR122.JPG https://c8.alamy.com/comp/F70T8Y/santorini-interior-of-greek-orthodox-cathedral-at-fira-ceiling-painting-F70T8Y.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GUJNJZQoDSA/T-Jthc575pI/AAAAAAAAkbk/nTY-z0ehzGg/s400/blue-ceiling-bedroom.png Maybe some that aren't so Greek http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iaXCimXg7GQ/U2rYrb-OYRI/AAAAAAAAcqQ/cHxSMKFz_JU/s1600/black+coffered+ceiling.jpeg https://inboundmarketingsummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/tin-ceiling-tiles-photo.jpg https://designx.disacode.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Drop-Ceiling-Tiles-Lowes.jpg Building at Home Wine Caves -

Pack Idea - Transportation
This has likely been thought out before but I’m going to share a bunch of ideas for a “transportation” pack. Options for transportation, taxi, bus, car, motorcycle, plane, boat. Depending on where you are going these would obviously change but some could have a smaller eco footprint or take longer. I imagine that if a sim took public transportation or had a long ride things would happen along the way (what things I am not sure) also if one transport option takes longer I don’t think you would wait any longer than normal it would just mean that when your sim arrives at the destination the time would have jumped to match the time they were supposed to spend traveling. There could be destinations that are only reachable by plane or boat or maybe even train. Destinations could be like mini worlds with only one or two lots that have monuments or tourist attractions. To visit those destinations you could purchase tickets online or show up at the airport, train station, or boat dock which would be 3 separate lots. At those lots there could be a ticket counter or self-service machine where your sim could see the destination options and purchase a ticket. Cars and motorcycles, I think cars should be base game but could be customized further in this pack. I’m not sure how customization would work, maybe in build mode there is a car option where you can choose a base model and color and then modify or add things like bumper stickers/decals, spoilers, etc. Motorcycles could be the same or just preset options. For some lot and map ideas I think the world could be split by modes of transport. A dock/pier/harbor/port area for the boat dock, maybe a seafood market. A small valley for the train station, maybe a train museum or something or train car diner. Some open plains for the airport, maybe a hotel or rental property. There could also be a downtown with a gas station or something. There’s a lot of room for new jobs and careers here but i’ll just mention some that I think would be fun or could be developed more. Pilots and flight attendants, Sailor/boat captain, train conductor, some sort of engineer could be added as well. In CAS there could be some new traits and aspirations. Sims could want to be a “world traveler” they want to visit as many places as possible, they enjoy any form of travel and get excited when visiting new places - even just a new lot. Traits could be along the lines of fearless or sims could have a fear of certain modes of transport like planes or boats. There could also be “frugal traveler” or “lavish traveler” where sims could want to spend the least money possible on transport and accommodation or they could only fly first class and stay at expensive rentals. That’s all for now on this idea :)
Hotel Resorts expansion pack
I want to discuss your hopes and wishes for a Hotel expansion pack in Sims 4! Let‘s do a wishlist: Room service I want to be able to order food to my room using room service Functional elevators Hotels need to have elevators with actual animations of Simsgoing inside. Also elevators should be a new WooHoo spot like in Sims 2. Elevators could also be an entire object you can place like a two-story elevator or three-story elevator. Extra Large aquarium tanks I would love more luxurious hotel lobby items like a large aquarium (like Sims 2 Apartment Life) where we can display the fishes we have caught (like with smaller aquariums in Sims 4) What are your ideas for a hotel expansion pack? Reply below!
1 year later Feedback Horse Pack
After a year finally bought today the EP for Horses. Well, I have to admit, I made the right decision to wait and purchase it later, and here are the reasons why: While Horses and Chestnut Ridge initially promised a captivating equestrian experience, it ultimately falls short of its potential. As someone who isn't deeply invested in horse culture, I purchased this expansion pack primarily for storytelling purposes. However, at its full price, the gameplay content simply doesn't justify the cost in my opinion, and that's why I waited. 😅 The Western theme, while perhaps appealing to some, didn't resonate with me. 🙃 I envisioned a more modern and elegant setting, perhaps inspired by the Hamptons or the world of equestrian competitions. A suburban landscape with vineyards would have created a more affluent and competitive atmosphere, aligning with a golf club (gameplay) feeling and the equestrian old-money aesthetic.😍 I guess it's too late for that now, but maybe for another pack it could still come, right? The world map itself, while visually appealing, felt somewhat generic and reminiscent of previous packs like Strangerville or Oasis Springs. The center reminds me of the ghost town movies where a bunch of hays is rolling and nobody is around. Spooky! 🤣For my taste, a greener, more picturesque environment would have better complemented the equestrian theme. While I appreciate the nectar-making skill and a few individual items, the overall aesthetic leans heavily toward the Western/Cowboy style. Not very much a versatile expansion pack in my eyes. The horses themselves are beautifully rendered, but the high-pitched sound they emit is a minor annoyance. Additionally, the build-buy items primarily cater to the Western theme, limiting their usefulness in other builds and in combination with other packs. After only 30 min. of gameplay, I'm already bored and glad I didn't purchase it at full price as I would have been highly disappointed. In conclusion, Chestnut Ridge had the potential to be a truly exceptional expansion pack. However, its missed opportunities in terms of setting, theme, and gameplay ultimately leave it feeling somewhat underwhelming. Just a couple of thoughts I wanted to express and see how others view this pack after a year. How do you guys view this pack after a year - are you still playing it actively? I think I won't be much in Chestnut Ridge, lol.A superhero expansion could be really fresh.
I don't think a game pack could fully do it justice, but I think it could be perfect for a full expansion. It could add a new neighbourhood which has a bit of a 40's/50's city look to it, and adds clothing and furniture in that style as well. But also adds supersims as a new occult lifestate never seen before in the sims series, which has however flirted with the concept in every single game in the form of outfits, tv shows and all that. All supersims have core abilities they all share, and more can be obtained but all those extra abilities come with a drawback. You could give your Sim all of them, but that also means they'd have all the drawbacks. It's always a sensible drawback, like a Sim with super strength breaking everything that can be broken when angry, unable to hold back. A sim with firepowers can't use them in rain or when wet, and they get angry when wet though can clean themselves with a purifying flame if they don't want to shower. A sim with mind control powers could at times get more than they bargain for when reading other sims minds, getting debuffs from seeing awkward memories or other stuff they wish they didn't know about. Most of the extra powers could also be obtained through tech that can be constructed, so Sims could also be a powerless hero using technology. Technology would have the downside of requiring maintenance otherwise it might break if used with a negative effect. Like a sim's mind controll thing blowing up could randomise their own personality traits, and the thing giving fire powers could put them on fire. A new costume category would be added to the game, which can be used recreationally or as a superhero or villain costume. The technology to use powers could be exclusive to the costume, your sim can't do it in other outfits. There would be plenty of new costumes to match, but everything already in the game that fits the theme of costume would show up here too. Unique to the costume is that you Sim is named by an Alias if wearing it. For example if Clark Kent wears it, he's Superman and will be referenced as Superman in all instances. But if his identity becomes known, he'd show up as Clark kent, Superman when wearing it, showing the player it's no secret. That would mainly matter for sims in the new active superhero or super villain career though, drawing all kinds of attention they might not want, though depending on traits they may not mind. But any Sim could use the costume in other ways, like a father dressing up as Santa and his kids believing it if the secret identity is kept. There would be self employed super hero or villain work which would be a rabbit hole thing. The hero can at any time disappear a while to fight crime. Could be combined with a career. They work on their own hours. But there's also two new active careers where your Sim is part of either a team of heroes or a team of villains. Each has headquarters where other heroes or villains hang out and work on projects, train and all that, and might also disappear briefly during their time there to fight crime as a rabbit hole thing. Not all would be rabbit hole stuff though, You could have Sims fight in a new superhero brawl option. Can be for friendly sparring, but also a battle that ends with the loser being captured and jailed for a few days until they escape. And the powers can be used in all kinds of ways, like a Super strong Sim could lift all kinds of stuff to show off, including other sims. A sim with ice powers could also use it for sculptures or creating furniture from it, or keeping their home covered in snow during any season. A sim with mind control powers can make other sims do stuff, but can also learn their secrets. A sim who can fly can show off, can also go explore space and have adventures similar to the rocket adventures, bringing back items and maybe discovering the alien world. Just saying it has a lot of potential. Could also be fun to see a super sim try to keep it a secret while being a family person. Or maybe the seemingly sweet home maker mother having an evil lair under the house that she tries to keep her children out of and her clueless husband could just be off to his day job. It also offers room for children playing superheroes, wanting their autograph, admiring a specific hero, being scared of a villain or liking a villain if they have the mean or evil trait. Especially geek sims could geek out over seeing a hero or villain.Grocery & Garden Stuff or Game Pack
Note to the Devs: Reasons to Make this Pack People LOVE New Recipes People like New Harvestables New Community Lot Types such as Grocery make people happy I have done most of the recipe research work for you Would be a closer and more realistic representation of international recipes than currently Giving the Recipes in Baking a small refresh will please Simmers greatly & make Baking even more attractive for Get to Work. A pack (along with Dining Out & Outdoor Retreat) that Simmers have been asking for a refresh since the concept of Refreshes was introduced. Works well with the recent Cooking Stuff Pack Gives Sims who are earning a living Farming or Fishing a place to sell their goods Another Ownable Community Lot will make Simmers happy A chance to reintroduce the retail radio station from Sims 1 or 2 (I can't remember) The Base Game & EP Updates of meats, a few ingredients and harvestables will be benefit all Simmers, and the Devs themselves when creating new recipes for all food and beverage categories. Opens things up for Juicing with the last few main fruits introduced. Gives a few more possibilities for Nectar making It would be amazing to see Sims 2 level details like NPC butchers handing paper wrapped meat packages to put into a hand basket or Sims leaving the store after paying with Grocery Bags, Personalized and Reusable Please. It would be fun to watch Sims smell Cantaloupe and tap on Watermelon and other such produce inspection techniques Purchasable butter could segue nicely to adding Butter Churns and Compound Butter Recipes Varieties of cheeses could be a nice purchase in the various "vacation areas" like Cheddar in Hensford, Queso Fresco in Jungle Living. You could introduce other kinds of cheeses in new neighborhoods similar to their real world counterpart like Brie from France. Grocery Delivery can still originate from here The two specialty shops would be very cute to run and fun to design. Carrying a hand basket around the store and leaving with a shopping bag Feel free to make this a game pack if you include EVERYTHING listed here Free Base Game Updates - Carefully picked for many recipes across many cuisines regardless of what packs a simmer has.

Sims 4 Ideas Feedback
I like playing the Sims 4 on my down time so much really feeling the updates excited to see even more. Few ideas I had for expansion packs Have an option to see the Sims drive to work and do different tasks at work with them. More job options run for mayor governor or president gain respect and votes by getting involved in the community. Retail work smoothie place micro blade nail tech construction worker plumber Different places to woohoo not just the bed or hot tub. Be able to put an ad online for renting a room. Get a roommate to help with the rent. But we are not responsible for their needs they aren't included on the dashboard. Make an option for a sim to be more independent, they will complain they feel controlled not able to do stuff on their own but almost pee on themselves because they can't take themselves to the bathroom. Have a pet sitter option Nannies and maids that actually help and stay the whole day not just a few minutes. More face makeup and hair options Ability to change height Amusement and water parks Option to celebrate holidays and traditional events like quinceanera sweet 16 Indian Asian traditions etc. Be able to go to the mall and shop Different weather rain storm hurricane tornado snow tsunami super hot and you can buy a or heater Pov option More friendly conversation and insult options Be able to go to the salon or barber shop Lastly an option to require a passcode to enter someone's game. I have roommates that are nosey I don't want them even seeing what I do on my Sims account when I'm gone I tell them barely anything. Hope my message is seen by EA Sims 4 creators
Scenario Bugs
I was trying to play base game Scenarios but they're not working after the updates First bug: Unlucky chef My sim doesn't cause any fire when cooking after the update. There's no difficulty level in this Second bug: Aliens stole my parents I was starting the Aliens stole my parents scenario and for the child, the Aspiration menu wasn't even popping up in CAS, so I couldn't start playing the scenario EA please fix this!! I tried with/without Mods and it's still not working
