Infants are my personal hell
Nope, it's not even because of the challenging quirks. I like challenges. I hate stupid. I dread everytime I had to age up a newborn because the adults around the infants WILL TURN OFF THEIR BRAIN and I'm not even talking autonomy off here. Why would you call your wife who was showering to feed the baby when YOU ARE STANDING IN FRONT OF THE INFANT??? Why would you hand over the infant to your husband who was literally sitting on the toilet???? When you are HOLDING SAID INFANT??? And I'm telling YOU to do it??? Check Infant > Pick Up > Put Down > Check Infant > Pick Up > Put Down rinse repeat. God forbid you travel into another lot because the infant milestone will stop working unless you restart your game. I saw other people just straight up skipping the infant stage by aging them up, which is valid, but gosh I just..... want to play the game, yknow????????

My expansion pack idea since I see others sharing theirs.
The theme of this pack is blue collar workers, Specifically the new Tradie career type. It would have an Australian themed world, the main appeal is to add several new career options to the game. The world would have 3 neighbourhood, one which is more outbook, the second more suburb the last is coastal beach. The careers that would be introduced Tradie career, the main draw of this career is you apply for an apprenticeship, having to do learning outside of the career itself, and yes you can drop out of school and take on an apprenticeship. there are 3 branches for the Tradie career; Plumber (focus on Logic and handiness) Construction (focus on Athletics and handiness) and Electrician (focus on programming and handiness). Mining career, a rabbit hole career that will have requirements for gemology, if you have crystal creations installed. Postal worker focuses on logic skill Trucker (no actual car, just a rabbit hole job) Slacker career, you start as a beach bum and then somehow end up as a motivational speaker, trying to help other slackers get a real job council worker (not sure if this is a job Americans have but someone who mows and takes care of public parks and sidewalks and fills in potholes. Call center (can be worked from home, you just click on your computer and select take calls) Pilot, branches between air force and commercial Build and Buy catalog for outside objects; Tin roofing, Outdoor water tanks, windmills, a dunny (outhouse) Hills Hoist clothes line (bonus if kids can hang from it and you can play goon of fortune) trampoline, A cubby house for Toddlers and kids, the metal death slide that burns you in the summer, more beach clutter like surfboards, a hammock, Tetherball pole, cricket wickets, ken Kelly inspired lawn decor. for indoor objects; things that invoke nan's house, doilies covering furniture, toolbox for tradies, sports memorabilia, a landline, an aircon, an esky (cooler), slot machines, typewriter, Aboriginal decorated objects like a coffee table. Create a Sim Rattail hairstyle, Mullets, messy bun, messy hair in general, dreadlocks, pixie cuts Hi vis work outfits, singlets, cargo shorts, flip flops, shark tooth necklace, Aboriginal patterned bandana and bracelets, caps, wide brim hats, cork hat, magpie defender (a helmet with zip ties on it) Reptile collecting Your sim can purchase a terrarium and either purchase a lizard or snake, or more dangerously catch your own from the while, but you better be good at identifying which snakes are Venomous, cause if you fail to catch a Venomous snake, your sim better have antivenom on hand or they will end up dying. you can actually milk your own snakes for venom and craft your own antivenom if you want to make some money on the side. Events State of Origin inspired night, pub fights, sport team loyalty and a lot of bar drinks happens every few weeks, your sim can pick a team and show your loyalty for whatever team you prefer (could be the sports teams from University). Melbourne cup inspired event - Go to the pub and bet on a horse, dress up in a ridiculous outfit, get sad when the horse you bet on didn't win or get a boost if it did. If you have a horse ranch installed you can attend the stadium in person to watch the event or even enter your own horse. go gambling - try your hand at the slot machines for a night out. can throw a BBQ event New recipes Pavlova Fairy bread sausage rolls spring rolls dim sums lamingtons damper (new fire pit recipe) New lot trait I also had a new lot trait idea, which is 'poor coverage' your mobile phone/ Cellular phone, won't work on a lot with this trait, you have to have a landline placed and that locks your ability to only call other sims and travel. New traits Rugged, These sims are built different, they like more active and hard activities, they recover from injury related moodlets faster then other sims Sports fanatic, these sims get a little too into sports, and a little too defensive of their team. Technophobe, these sims do not do well with modern technology, TV and landline is as far as they want to go, and feel discomfort when using their phone or computer. Laid-back, not quite lazy, they are just harder to get mad, they tend to let the insults wash over them. New Aspirations Tradie legend, reach the top of the tradie career (any branch) No.1 sports fan, your sim has shown their support and maybe obsession for their sports team herpetology guru, Your sim now knows everything there's to know about reptiles. New skills Surfing skill but I honestly doubt they would be able to add this one. Maybe Glass blowing? or metal crafting? (there isn't that many new skills I can think of) New books for sims to read Waltzing Amelia (Waltzing Matilda parody) The man from Frozen Creek (The man from snowy river parody) The Golden Brumby (The silver brumby parody) Meredith Doppins (Mary poppins parody) Dusty Dill (Blinky Bill parody) Daryl the Builder (Bob the builder parody) The Bushberry tots (Gumnut babies parody) Possum Tragic (Possum magic parody) The rainbow turtle (the rainbow fish parody) The legend of Ken Gulley (New lore book about the mysterious bushranger of Ken Gulley, a parody of Ned Kelly) Premade townies The tradie family, 3 mates living in a share house, each a member of the trading career The Barley family, an old couple who live outbush, one of their sons who work in the quarry in the area lives with them and takes care of them while their other son lives on the beach in the slacker career as a beach bum. The Mackey, a single mum with her three kids, in the suburb area, her teenage son wants to drop out of school and become a tradie, but she wants him to finish school, they have a difficult relationship. Kenneth Gulley, an elder swagman who is a roaming townie, with a mysterious past Amelia Waltz, a ghost that appears around midnight near the park billabong, has some kind of connection to Kenneth Gulley. New dance interaction This last thing is just a new dance to add to the game, the Bush boogie, which is a parody of the Nutbush. If you start a bush boogie, everyone is obligated to join in, yes it is a requirement. But yeah that is my expansion pack idea, I would really like them to expand on careers! I like giving my sims jobs!
Expansion pack Idea!
So I’ve been a long term playing for sims 4 on console, I’m currently using a ps5! I was never one for pc games or tracking down all those mods pc players use for the sims4 lol. I’ve been playing since it came out (sims4) and I’m turning 19 soon so there’s a lot of things over the years I wish were added to the game for console players but I love what’s came out so far! Anyways- Since playing I’ve always wanted more fantasy expansion packs. I noticed recently that the “enchanted with nature expansion pack” is releasing soon on July 10 and can be per ordered now. Which is amazing! Yet I was always leaning towards princes and princesses type theme! Having the ability to have a world dedicated to being royalty, having traits the consist around royalty or just being super fancy as well as adding the ability to have maids and butlers, stables, carriages- those really puffy princess dresses, and doing royal activities! I have a lot in mind for something like this and so much more detail to get into. I overall just wanted to present this idea to see if anyone else would else be fond of something similar! If anyone else had any input or more details to add to a “prince and princess royalty expansion pack” I’d love to hear anyone else ideas or opinions!
Could we please have the ability to replace randomly generated townies?
Could Simmers be given an option, before we start a save, to "fill roles" with sims we want to have in those roles or to create "banks" of sims we want to have used in those roles (i.e. a bank of aliens, or a bank of single-parent families, or a bank of spellcasters, bank of uni students etc.). Could there be a system where the game could draw from those "banks" until it ran out (and we could refill it before that happened)? Or even if there was an official tag, we could give sims in our tray, similar to the "lovestrucksingles" tag used for Cupids Corner. For example, I could tag all the aliens in my tray to be generated when the game wants aliens to be generated. Most people feel that randomly generated townies are total jump scares. I know there are mods, but console users don't have this option. And frankly, if mods can come up with solutions, why can't those solutions be incorporated into the game? I have used MCCC to add tray sims, but it is limited in that it will create an elder in the body of a young adult or vice versa, etc. I have also used MCCC's copy/paste sim function with better results. But could this be something added to the game??Sims and Their Pregnancy’s
Hi Simmers! I wanted to suggest a deeper, more interactive pregnancy experience in The Sims 4—whether through a base game update or a dedicated game/expansion pack (all without needing mods or CC!). Right now, pregnancy is super simplified and could use a refresh to match how rich and story-driven other life stages have become. Here are some fun and meaningful features that could enhance pregnancy gameplay: Maternity Clothes: Add a proper collection of maternity outfits that work throughout all trimesters—casual, formal, athletic, and sleepwear—so pregnant Sims can stay stylish and comfortable without needing CC. Maternity & Family Photoshoots: Include photo sessions specifically for pregnant Sims—solo, with their partner, or with the whole family. These could create new framed photos or decor items with sentimental value. Baby Shopping Trips: Sims could go shopping for nursery items (cribs, toys, clothes, etc.), either through active lots or rabbit holes. It could come with moodlets like “Ready for Baby” or “Nesting Complete.” Gender Reveals & Twin Discoveries: Add the option for Sims to have a gender reveal event (cake, confetti, or balloon pop reveal!) and receive a special doctor visit or scan to find out if they’re having twins (or triplets!). These could be emotional moments for Sims and fun to plan. Prenatal Checkups or Classes: Sims could attend prenatal visits or birthing classes that give relationship boosts with the baby or partner, and provide helpful moodlets or unique pregnancy buffs. Expanded Emotions & Buffs: Pregnancy could bring deeper emotions—excitement, nerves, fatigue, cravings, bonding moments, and even anxious thoughts about labor or parenthood. Pregnancy Announcements & Mini Events: Include new ways to tell friends or family the big news—like a dinner party with the option to announce the pregnancy or share a sonogram photo. Guests could react differently depending on their traits! These features could add so much depth and storytelling potential—perfect for simmers who love generational or family gameplay. All of this could easily fit into a base game refresh or a future family/pregnancy-themed pack. No mods or CC needed—just more life built into the game itself. Would love to hear what others think or what you’d add!
Auto Curtains
I know it would be complicated due to all the different curtains we have, but it would be so cool if there was a way to have auto opening/closing curtains, and you could pick the time for it to happen. So normal sims can see the sun in their house, Vampires could block it out but see the moon!
"Fairies" vs. Older Occult Improvement Feedback
I appreciate your enthusiasm for the new features, but I'm quite disappointed with how occults are being handled based on the new "Faires" in the upcoming "Enchanted by Nature" expansion pack. As a huge fan of occults—vampires, witches, werewolves, aliens, mermaids, ghosts, faeries, (elves too, even though we don't have them, lol😅), and more—I feel like EA is neglecting the older occult types. While I understand that some occults were introduced in previous packs, that shouldn't mean they're forgotten. Here's what I mean: When new occults are released with brand-new features, those features should be adapted and applied to older occults as well. This seems like a logical and obvious step to me. Benefits for Simmers and EA Imagine how cool it would be to add new items and give older occults the same new features from the new pack, just adapted to fit them. This would not only incentivize new players to purchase older packs but also make existing players who already own them much happier. Ultimately, this benefits EA too. These refreshes and upgrades would encourage more Simmers to consider buying older packs. Currently, there's no real incentive for customers if newer occults are inherently "better" just because they're newer. Especially considering your statement, 'The Sims' is going to stay for a long time. It would be a WIN-WIN for all of us. Wishlist for Improving Older Occults Treating all occults equally would be amazing and would give us a huge incentive to create new stories and play them more often. Aliens (Get to Work Expansion Pack) They desperately need a skill tree—this should be a patch update. We should be able to create new Alien Races with CAS customization, including a color wheel. Why isn't a color wheel patched in for them yet? More face markings, horns, ears, etc., are needed. Linking the alien form to the original form, similar to vampires and spellcasters, is a must. It's incredibly frustrating to have to create two versions of the same alien. What if I want the same form but just want to change the color or add face markings to the alien version? I can't do that easily now, and it takes hours to try and match the second form. I want them to be recognized as one character! Mermaids (Island Living Expansion Pack) They also need a skill tree, which should be patched in. A CAS color wheel for their mermaid tails is essential. More facial markings, mermaid gills, mermaid ears, etc. An own category for face markings, gills, etc., would be very helpful Vampires: Vampires should get access to horns. This would open up possibilities for creating fantasy creatures like angels and demons! A color wheel for vampires would also allow for more custom fantasy options. In general, CAS needs a separate category for face/body markings, etc. If new occults get new features, older occults absolutely deserve a matching upgrade. Conclusion I really hope the Sims Team considers this: Whenever new occults are created, please don't forget to upgrade the older ones with matching features. These new features should be included in a patch update for older occults. Our Occults deserve better!😉🧛♀️👽👻🧜♀️🧚♀️❤️ I wish I could make a poll—I'm sure many Occult Players would agree with me. What do you guys think?
My Sim is a hairstylist/MUA, HELP
The “All-in-one styling station” from the Get Famous pack is underutilized. I remember when the pack first came out and me making some make shift version on A Hair Salon that didn’t work well… When the Small Business and Hobbies pack came out, it surprised me how many things were overlooked in the Business Activities, even with the amount of options it was very surprising the Salon chair didn’t make it to the list. With the Spirit of “reprising” the “Open For Business” from the Sims 2, you could run your own Salon as a pack feature. Even as The Salon chair has its own pack, it would have been awesome to see it make a comeback as a multipack companion. I’m still eager to see this functionality added to the game, so I hope this post is seen and received by many who has the same want.
