Creation of a new game pack and a subworld
Good Morning I have a suggestion for creating a new game package called “Artistic Life” where you can create a band (maximum 16 members) to record and sell albums, perform concerts and go on major tours (completely live), promote culture, create your own brand, and leave a great legacy. At the same time, you could also make statues and paintings to honor those who have made important contributions to society. Artistic Life is about creation, not fame. Artistic Life: Create a band Rehearse Hold jam sessions and workshops Record albums Have a manager, music producer, sound team, and staff Music styles Event production company that organizes festivals Marketing and press Band album sales Band can start its own record label Band can have a maximum of 16 members (including dancers) Band sets ticket prices Instruments: Drums, bass, guitar, keyboard, percussion, wind instruments, and violin Singer and backup singers Organize major tours Perform concerts Backstage experiences Leave a legacy Have an artistic reputation Fame is optional (player's choice) Social projects Have a base band in the game package Have visual arts and make statues for important figures who contributed to society No need for a new world because they can do artistic activities in other worlds This theme is about creation, not fame I also have another suggestion to create a new underworld in the Life and Death expansion (released in October 2024), which is the world of the dead and accessible only to Sims who have passed away with unfinished business or who have not gone to this new world (the player's choice) to see spiritual evolution (of the “ghost”), choose a gift, have a mission in the next life, see karma, have angels, spiritual guides, evolutionary dimensions, reach the level of spirit of light that can go to a new life or not, and in this dimension, have the function of helping others who are on the evolutionary path. Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your response.
Suggestion: Allow Three Sims to Sleep in One Bed in The Sims 4
Hello, dear developers! I would like to suggest adding the ability for three Sims to sleep in the same bed in The Sims 4. Right now, even though the game allows polyamorous relationships through mods and multiple partners, Sims are still forced to sleep separately. This feels unrealistic, especially for players who want to create large families, polyamorous households, or roleplay as wealthy sheikhs with multiple wives. There are two possible solutions to this issue: Modify the existing double beds so that three Sims can sleep in them instead of just two. This would be a simple way to make gameplay more realistic for players who want their Sims to share a bed in a natural way. Introduce new extra-large beds, designed for three or more Sims. These could include: Extra-wide family beds for large households. Luxurious Eastern-style beds, fitting for a sheikh’s palace. Floor mattresses in an Eastern or Japanese style, where multiple Sims can sleep together. This small but meaningful change would bring more realism and diversity to the game, making different lifestyles more immersive. We hope the developers will consider this idea for a future update or expansion. Thank you for your attention!
SIMS 4 is a fallen disgrace
Imagine being a Sim player from the start, watching the franchise grow, spending ridiculous amounts of money on packs / add ons, and TIME. So much time has been spent building homes, creating worlds, making stories. Then imagine you are forced to play your game(s) online, through an app. Only EVERY SINGLE TIME you have availability to play you are forced to sit through an update. A very long update that cuts into all of your free time. We should be able to play our games OFFLINE and bypass ridiculous events or whatever other platforms they are trying to merge into the SIM world now. The lack of care the developers seem to have for their clients (especially those of us who started from day one) leaves a nasty taste in one's mouth. Making money seems to trump quality and care as they are quick to create some lackluster pack, driving up cost. It has been almost 6 months since I have been able to play and I used to be on every weekend. Building homes was my way to de-stress. Psh .. not anymore. And then the platform EA itself has the WORST support and overall gameplay.
South African Pack Idea
Walk with me, fellow Simmers… what are your thoughts? I've been playing The Sims since the very first game, and one thing that stands out to me is the lack of African representation. It’s surprising, considering how rich and diverse African culture is. My friends and I believe the developers might be scared or reluctant to authentically recreate African and African American culture in the game. Here are some beautiful ideas I’d love to see brought to life in The Sims! World: Gown Town (Cape Town Inspired) Step into the heart of South Africa with The Sims 4: Safari Nights! This expansion brings a stunning new world, rich cultural experiences, unique careers, and delicious cuisine inspired by Mzansi.

Hello Maxis team, I’m sharing these ideas directly for the Maxis development team, in case they find them helpful for future updates. I hope they can contribute to improving the experience for both current and future Sims players. For Sims 4, I believe it would be meaningful to create a series of final major packs that celebrate the history of the game and the series as a whole. These packs could include flashbacks and references to favorite features from Sims 2, 3, and previous Sims 4 content, gradually showing players that the game is approaching the end of its cycle and creating a sense of nostalgia and closure. To ensure that players remain emotionally connected and active, the final pack could give a sense of continuity, suggesting that the world of Sims continues and that the Sims will still be there waiting, even as players eventually move on to a future game. This approach could provide both a feeling of completion and ongoing life for the Sims world, creating meaningful emotional engagement. Looking ahead to a potential Sims 5, I envision a game that could combine the best elements from previous Sims titles while introducing new features that deepen immersion and engagement. Improved AI and more realistic Sims behavior could make the world feel alive, while offering players the choice to play in single-player or multiplayer mode would broaden the appeal without compromising gameplay depth. Incorporating references or evolved versions of popular elements from earlier Sims games could honor the series’ legacy and create a familiar yet fresh experience for longtime fans. It might also be interesting to involve the community in small polls or votes on preliminary designs, allowing players to help shape which ideas they would enjoy most. This could foster collaboration and ensure that development aligns with player expectations, while keeping feedback positive and constructive. I hope these ideas can help inspire the Sims team and contribute to shaping a memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone in the community. Thank you for taking the time to consider these suggestions.Cultural Kits & Stuff Packs
I think they should have cultural packs. We have loads of decor items but they’re either modern or retro. We need decor items to fit cultural backgrounds. Such as: Native American, African American, Hispanic, Greek, Italian, and so on. We have some clothing items but not really decor items for these cultures. Agree/Disagree??? Let me know what ya think and maybe this will catch the eye of someone from EA/Maxis and let’s hope we get some cool packs with these items.Sims 4: Business & Hobbies - Missing Employee Tasks
When owning a Small Business from the Business & Hobbies pack, there are no 'Employee Tasks' for: *Gemology - Crystal Creations pack *Herbalism - Outdoor Retreat pack *Apothecary - Enchanted by Nature pack Please please please update this! I have just built a 'Holistic Health Centre', selling natural medicines and home remedies. It stocks elixirs from the Enchanted by Nature pack, balms from the Outdoor Retreat pack and charged crystals from the Crystal Creations pack. I intended for the employees to work on Apothecary/Gemology tables and brew herbal remedies at stoves in the back... but I can't assign these as tasks for them. So, they can do nothing but 'Be Friendly' and 'Clean' and my own sim bears all the hard labour :') Plus, we can't 're stock' as simply as owning a Retail store from the Get To Work pack, so distributing craft labour to your Small Business employees is no joke! We need all hands on deck to keep up with the re stocks! I fear my health centre will have to close down and file for bankruptcy if urgent action is not taken. We hope to hear from you/the community soon. Yours sincerely, JessFo915 + her sim, Giselle x PS. NO lab coat outfit in CAS?! Not in Base Game or the Get To Work pack... HOW?!
Suggestion
It would be amazing and dynamic if the sims 4 had more things related to beauty and art, like saloons, fashion parades, designers and singers, dancing competition like ballet or something related to sports, like Olympic sports, gymnastics, fights, football, swimming, and a lot more, or also something to the community like firefighter and markets , to make the players and the life on the game more real and funnyGet to Work Expansion Pack
I really wish they would fix this pack. All of the careers in it are soooo glitched. I wish being a doctor wasn’t so difficult bc you can’t ever diagnose the patients and if you can it takes the whole shift to do so. And being a cop is about the only one that’s worth it but it also has its faults. I just wish it could get some attention bc it could be a very fun pack to have.
