Base game suggestions
These are just some concepts of ideas i had while playing the game and reading the forums. Feel free to share your ideas here. • Intersex/Non Binary sex/gender symbol option; • Legal name, social name and nicknames. • Sexual Orientation options : - " This sim is interested in polyamory? "✅ - " This sim is interested in open relationship? " ✅ • Select life stage sublevel: Each life stage lasts 3 yrs; • Visible and editable life state slot ✅ • Health conditions: Allergies, Fears, Diets; • Physical attraction ❌: Eyes color, Hair color , Hairstyle, Facial hair, Clothes , Body details and Accessories; • New hair color swatches + Saturation and brightness sliders; • New eye color swatches; • CAS reapply option ✅; • One single body hair category button like the Tattos category; • Separate muscle slider for every body part (Arms, Torso, Legs and Back) ; • Paint mode (+Free tattoo placement?) ❌ • New miscellaneous skin colors for human sims: Yellow, Orange, Pink, Cyan, Purple, Lilac, Dark red/green/blue. • Carnaval Beats radio: Add "In The Wild - Neil Williams" from the world station to this one too. • New categorization for the styled looks to deal with the overwhelming amount of looks; • New aspirations: - Location: [Willow Creek] & [Oasis Springs] - Body: Healthy Lifestyle - Family: Golden child • New interactions: - Run here - Always run - Look through the window - Hi - Offer [item] to... - Search for [Sim]'s online data - Ask about feelings (Current emotion of a sim) - Ask what happened (The reason of the main moodlet) • Skill bar progress should be attached to its icon, cause the actual one's a visual mess; • Game seetings restricting townies to their worlds; • Choose reaction to a romantic interaction from other sims; • Bulldoze lot button in Manage Worlds; • Add travel UI (like the Club hangout UI) so we don't need to load in and out of the Manage Worlds; • Semi-active careers: - Nanny (gigs); - Librarian; - Neighborhood Gardener; - Diarist (gigs); - Mechanic (gigs); - Caterer; - Entertainer (gigs). • New Potion (Reward Store): Sentiments cleansing potion; • Go to Manage Worlds when starting a new game; • No obligatory "Save Family" after creating and set play with family on CAS; • Search bar on household management; • Add "Obssesed/Obssesion" sentiment (that works well for ghosts and vampires); • Custom/Undefined occult race: A sim with all occult's items unlocked, have basic superhuman powers (strength, speed, resistance, etc.) and ability to add alternate form; • Different interactions for ghosts to fulfill their needs; • Add picture as CAS background; • Option for extra CAS columns; • Edit gallery pictures; • Work/School events' toggle; • Edit game image: Add filters, change saturation and brightness; • Counting animals in a family as an 8 animal specific slots without fulfilling the 8 sims slots; • Write on notebook; • Job satisfaction/dissatisfaction moodlets (for doing daily tasks, promotion tasks, etc.); • Plan career outfit category; • "Check social media timeline" also working as "Recent Neighborhood Stories" interaction.
Allow Building Outside Lot Boundaries / Full World Editing Option
Hello Sims Team, I would love to see a feature in The Sims 4 that allows us to build outside of the current lot boundaries. Right now, we are limited to building only within the assigned lot space, but many players would like the freedom to expand their creativity into the surrounding world areas (streets, parks, water areas, etc.). Having an “extended world build mode” or a true world editor would: Give builders more creative freedom to make neighborhoods feel more alive. Let us place houses, parks, or decorations outside the lot without relying on mods. Make worlds feel more customizable and personal, which would keep the game fresh for long-term players. Even if full world editing is not possible, adding an official option to place and edit objects outside the lot boundaries (similar to what mods like T.O.O.L. already allow) would be a huge improvement. Thank you for considering this idea! Many of us builders in the community would really appreciate having more freedom to shape our Sims’ worlds.
[FR] [CHEAT] Unable to increase rental unit cap
Since the most recent base game update I am no longer able to increase the residential rental unit cap from 6. I have tested this in both a modded and vanilla game with no luck. I've entered the cheat bb.increaserentalunitcap on as I've always done and this no longer appears to do anything. I've never had to enter testingcheats true or testingcheats on but I did anyway just to cover all basis and it made no difference. I don't see anything mentioned in the update notes where this feature would be removed so I'm assuming this is a bug. Edit By crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title Note by crinrict This cheat is currently disabled. Please see this post for more info: Community Concerns with Save File Issues - October 2025 Update | EA Forums - 12690410

Fable the Raven Ravens are mimics Can be taught to say "Nevermore" in Simlish Bird Details Bird Song & Talking Bird Song should be particular to the type of bird Canaries have a lovely song, Canary Singing Love Birds are happiest when with a partner.

Perch Arm Fingers - Little Birds Only Hand Head Shoulder Create A Pet Updates Body Dimensions Leg Length Short Legs Breeds that actually are short legged will be represented properly Note* In future the Sims really ought to have more than two sizes of dogs.

I see SO much potential for the Sims 4 (because the next version is pretty much dead at this point). I seriously don't know why they are wasting so much talent on making generic, small item things. Just got an email for the 'Deck the Palms' event and I see MAGNETS and a couple spongebob themed items?! If you're going to partner with Spongebob, go all the way. Give us a Bikini Bottom world! As a spongebob fan as well, it just seems like a half-a** attempt to partner up with a big brand name. It is a sad excuse for a collaboration. I give harsh criticism because like most of us, Sims has a silly place in our hearts or brains or whatever. I'm 28 (lmao) and I know I'm not the oldest of all the players, but I been playing since I was 14-ish. For the past ~6 years I play because I still love it. However, it just seems like they've never cared about overall game advances like: visiting other people's worlds, advancing and updating graphic quality, and making packs more affordable (usually 1 world and ~50 items for 60$ new?!) Pretty sure if you wanted to purchase the full sims 4 suite (all the packs), I could legit buy a car or live in mexico for a year. It's criminal. We used to be kids and now we're adults. Stop taking advantage of us please. <3 I have SO many ideas for gameplay/build+buy improvement so if anyone working @ EA reads this all the way pls hit me up!! I'm a dedicated homie who will always have a special spot in my heart for sims,, but I'm gettin tired!!!! Any long term bro's got any input or am I just a whiny baby?
