In-game Challenges Tool
I love Sims 4, and I would love it even more if we could create in-game challenges like with the Call of Nature challenge you have running at the moment. It would be awesome to be able to create challenges with a strong focus on story that progresses as the player levels up a required skill for example, or visits a certain spot. It could be a total game changer. Pun intended. :)
Japanese futons please?
Now that we have functional sleeping bags and the blanket that sims can woohoo in, it would be nice if they added functional Japanese futon-style bed(s?)/bedding to the game. I'm using sleeping bags currently but I would love to see something with at least most of the functionality of a bed but that we can have Sims put in their inventory or store somewhere once the night is through. Also, please let there be multiple options of this (maybe 3-5 double bed style and 3 single). It'd be neat to see this implemented in the game.
🍂 Seasons EP refresh
Hi, EP05 Seasons has several weaknesses compared to the previous games : Lack of features (Snowy Escape, Island Living and other packs have stole several parts.) No new world (probably due to the Winter update for the existing worlds) Calendar became a basegame feature New packs are designed for sunny weather (Festivals not designed for rain and snow, treehouse not designed for seasons, no snow for Ravenwood, Home Chef Hustle not designed for rain) Snowy Escape has its own weather No new occult (Previously TS2 had Plantsims and TS3 had Aliens) No Hail weather "Indoor rain/snow" bug Umbrella bugs So it would be nice if Maxis could refresh this "expansion" pack and add a few things : Swimming pool activities (Slide, ...) Raincoat outfit category as an alternative to umbrellas Igloo (Woohoo spot) Ice lounge Mischievous lightning power (start a fire or summon thunderstorm or fully recharge servos)Smart thermostat upgrade
Sims 4 Ocean Exploration expansion pack [Aquariums, scuba diving and houseboats]
Underwater Diving areas There are underwater diving areas that Sims can explore and that are interactive and actually visible to the player. Players can find treasure chests, explore underwater caves or sunken shipwrecks, harvest seaweed and catch fish swimming around. The fish that have been caught can be brought to the surface and exhibited in an aquarium. There is a scuba diving skill. The higher the skill level, the longer a Sim can stay underwater and the less depressurizing time a Sim has. Aquarium There is an aquarium in town that you can stock with fish and other marine life like colorful sea slugs. These can be caught while scuba diving. There are giant aquarium tanks that you can stock with fish. There is an aquarium tunnel object that Sims can walk through, and it can be stocked with fish as well. Aquariums are a new type of community venue. There are saltwater tanks (with corals and rocks) and freshwater tanks (with kelp and wood branches) Houseboat Houseboats are a new type of home that Sims can live in. Houseboats are editable in Build Mode like a regular lot, except you can't add a basement. Whale watching There are whales jumping out of the ocean that you can go watch with your houseboat. You can offer paid whale watching tours or diving tours with your houseboat by clicking on the tourist information center. Driftwood furniture Collect driftwood at the beach and craft new driftwood furniture using the woodworking table from base game and Handiness skill. Expanded mermaids Mermaids should get their own skill tree like all other occults and more scary looking like Sirens. Sirens could also be a new type of occult. To expand Mermaids they should get… Aquatic ears New mermaid tails Seaweed hair Fish scale skin tone that makes the whole body have fish scales Barnacles on body Scaly arms and legs while on land Fin on head (instead of hair) Sims can become a Siren by getting bitten by a Siren. (Like vampires) Mermaids/ Sirens can drink blood like vampires, but don‘t need to More fish-like appearance Fish-like eyes Freezing abilities Stronger manipulation powers The Siren/ Mermaid skill tree Australian world The town is inspired by Australian beach towns like Airlie Beach in Australia. It consists of two marinas where houseboats are located. New collections Sea slugs: Verco's nudibranch Black-margined sea slug Leaf sea slug Clown nudibranch Orange side-gilled slug Chromodoris nudibranch New fishes Harvest edible seaweed Seaweed grows underwater and you can harvest it and eat it. Shipwreck Exploration There are underwater shipwrecks that you can explore, unlock doors by finding keys in storage chests, by being gifted keys from a local Sim etc. Metal debris blocks paths. Sims must use a sledgehammer to break through metal debris. Requires Fitness skill. Sharks live inside these shipwrecks and your Sim needs to hide from them.
[EBN] Enchanted by Nature is the first EP I've truly regretted purchasing.
Playing with a brand new Save in a brand new The Sims 4 folder. No mods. No CC. It's a beautiful World .... but: My game has crashed 4 times in 2 days. I rarely have a game crash. Fixed I can't repair my game because "We've paused the download because you don't own this title." Under investigation The Balance and Luck systems overwhelms all other gameplay. The method for monitoring Balance and Luck is buried in the Simology tab. Making it difficult to keep tabs on whilst playing. Especially when playing with multiple Sims. This may be addressed by a patch. Balance and Luck change dramatically, suddenly and inexplicably. E.G. My Sim is fine. Needs are fine. Suddenly he's not caught a fish and his luck is bad? His Balance has plummeted? And now he has some ailment he can't afford to cure so he has to abandon all else to go off in search of a cure. And my Sim hasn't even made it to becoming a Fairy. Sheesh. Back to my regular game. Looking to relax so I open up the household of my nice elderly retired Sim. Of course she's cooking. Of course she catches on fire. Plum. Bad Luck. Out of Balance. Argh. Turned it all off. I am not enchanted.
Ailments
I believe "ailments" introduced to the game by the "Enchanted by Nature" EP could be a good idea if they were not happening ALL THE TIME. If your sim enters a cave or visits a haunted house or gets into any unhealthy environment it would make sense he would get an ailment and needed to find a cure for it. But the way the game is now, all sims will get an ailment out of nowhere, and once it's gone they get another ailment! The game became "Sick Sims". 😒
Native American / Indigenous pack
I would love to see a Native American with all the tribes like Spokane, Cherokee, Sioux from US including Alaska, Canada and even Mexico like the Aztecs and the Mayans. The one thing that I love about the Native American tribes that they don't waste what they hunt. They use everything. What would be in this pack: Teepees, Wigwams, Long Houses (Coastal like Salish, Haida, Tlingit) etc.. Clothing from Deer, Bear etc, hair style braids,, beaded jewelry or regular clothes etc. Animals: horses, dogs as well as bears. wolves and buffalo aka bison etc. Food: Buffalo, Deer meat (venison), Fish, Fry bread (yummy), fruits and veggies etc.. Fun stuff to do or visit: Pow wow, Tribal gathering, Drum circle, Dancing (Jingle,. Fancy Shawls etc.) for the women, Tiny Tots dance for the kids etc... For more info; Pow Wow Dance Style I think this will be a fun learning experience for everyone Non-Indian and alike. Feel free to add to the list.
Right now, the game creates new townies when my Sims use the computer to work.
I'm unsure if it's a bug or a feature. And my current game doesn't have "Get Famous" EP, so it may be different from other players, but what my issue is... Every time that my sim uses the computer to do work-related interaction (ex., write a scientific paper, polish a comedy routine), the game always generates a new family (1-4 sims) that has one "style influencer (Lv 1)". Firstly, I thought it only happened with a gardener/botanist career when using a computer to do a job, but my comedian sim is too. And it never stops, even though the game already has a new style influencer. The game still creates it "non-stop" ---- I can notice this because I use mods to stop townie generate and I can see from MCCC's log and found something like this [Jul-26-2025 13:48:22]* Created homeless household, Teague, containing 1 sim(s) for: filter_computerChat_Style_Influencer_Freelancer_Fashion_Photographer [Jul-26-2025 14:11:30]* Created homeless household, Amos, containing 1 sim(s) for: filter_computerChat_Style_Influencer_Freelancer_Fashion_Photographer Sometimes the family contains a full family with children, but mostly it is a single sim. ---- I also tested without the mod and still got a new family on "other household" after I did the action with the computer. I suspect that there are some problems with NPC generation in the recent patch because Cottage Living NPCs are also messy right now. And I got some LE when it's San Myshuno's festival too. (But last thing may be only mod-related.) ---- If your game has many new families in "other household" lately, you might have the same issue as me.
