The Sims 4: Faith & Folly (Idea)
This invites you into a vibrant world of belief, rituals, and eccentric traditions, introducing a rich tapestry of faiths, cults, and communities for your Sims to explore. This expansion pack brings both reverence and whimsy to the forefront, with structured religions like the Worship of The Watcher, featuring solemn cathedrals and rhythmic dances, and satirical cults like the Kine Society, whose cow-themed rituals and offerings to Beelzebeef, the Prime Heifer, add a comedic twist. Whether your Sims join the soulful melodies of Ilmara, embrace the mysterious rituals of occult followers, or pursue materialistic devotion in the Church of Simoleonology, every belief system introduces unique gameplay. Build faith with the new Faith Bar, host interactive rituals, and celebrate faith-specific holidays like Watcher’s Day or Moo-Moon Night. Sims can explore new careers, from clergy member to cult leader, or gain fresh skills like Ritual Mastery and Sacred Cuisine. In the enchanting world of Divinora, discover grand temples, hidden grottos, and carnival grounds that serve as immersive backdrops for your Sims’ spiritual journeys. With dynamic new aspirations, traits, and objects like sacred altars and confession booths, Faith & Folly lets you craft a unique narrative of devotion, chaos, or skepticism. From devout worship to clownish absurdity, your Sims will find beauty, hilarity, and meaning in every step of their path. New Features Dire Chinchillas: Straight from the legends of The Sims Medieval on to The Sims 4, Dire Chinchillas make their chaotic return in Faith & Folly. These mischievous and slightly terrifying creatures are revered by certain cults as sacred animals, believed to carry the favor—or wrath—of The Watcher. Sims can tame, worship, or fear these unpredictable rodents. They may bring blessings during rituals, but beware—anger a Dire Chinchilla, and it might unleash a flurry of fur-filled chaos, scratching Sims into a very uncomfortable moodlet or worse. Keep their favor high with offerings of rare collectibles or risk their wrath! New Faiths and Cults The Worship of The Watcher: Rooted in The Sims Medieval, The Watcher is a benevolent overseer of all Sims. Choose from three distinct branches to guide your Sims' spiritual journey: Watchfulism: Inspired by Christianity of the Watcher, this faith emphasizes structure and solemnity. Sims attend mass in grand cathedrals, partake in prayer circles, and celebrate holidays like Watcher’s Day. Shalomea: Drawing from Jewish traditions of the Watcher, this branch celebrates family, community, and historical rituals. Sims can participate in weekly gatherings, light candles for special occasions, and read from sacred texts. Ilmara: Inspired by African American religious traditions of the Watcher, this vibrant faith features musical worship, rhythmic dances, and a strong sense of unity within the community. The Kine Society: A bovine cult worshiping Beelzebeef, the Prime Heifer, this group adds utter and absurdity. Members dress in cow-themed robes, host Moo-Moon ceremonies, and offer milk-based sacrifices to their deity. Fail to follow the rituals, and Beelzebeef might curse you with "Hoofed Misfortune." The Treaders of the Tragic Clown: A satirical group that reveres the Tragic Clown as a misunderstood prophet. Members perform melancholy plays, host clown-themed parties, and proselytize through the Social Bunny app. The more they cry, the more their faith grows. The Occultism Collective: A gathering of all things supernatural, this collective unites vampires, spellcasters, werewolves, and even ghostly Sims. Conduct seances, summon spirits, and perform arcane rituals. The more supernatural Sims involved, the stronger the rituals. The Church of Simoleonology: Worship the almighty Simoleon! This faith celebrates wealth and materialism. Sims make offerings of Simoleons, host extravagant feasts, and pursue careers in business or politics. Members can unlock unique rewards, such as a golden idol of the Simoleon. The Cirque Congregation: This traveling carnival-inspired group blends spirituality with fun. They hold lively gatherings filled with acrobatics, clown performances, and circus-themed rituals. Their motto? "Faith can be fun!" Followers of Wolf’s Bane: A werewolf-exclusive group that reveres the moon as their deity. They gather under the full moon to perform howling ceremonies, engage in pack-building activities, and hunt together in reverence of nature. Anonymous of the Doubter: A faith-neutral community that gathers skeptics and non-believers. They host science fairs, debates, and logic-focused events. Members gain bonuses in careers related to science and technology. Clan of the Cowplant: This group celebrates nature and the mysterious Cowplant. Members nurture gardens, perform outdoor rituals, and make offerings to their Cowplant to ensure it doesn’t eat them. Faith System Every Sim can now explore faith through a new Faith bar. Sims gain or lose faith depending on their actions, participation in rituals, and relationships with fellow believers. Low faith can lead to existential crises, while high faith grants unique buffs and interactions. Ritual System Rituals are interactive group events specific to each faith or cult. Examples include: Worship Ceremonies: Attend or lead services to gain Faith and form bonds. Sacred Feasts: Prepare and share unique dishes tied to your belief system. Seasonal Celebrations: Participate in faith-specific holidays, such as Watcher’s Day or Moo-Moon Night. Arcane Summoning: For occult followers, summon spirits or supernatural allies. New Lot Types Temple: A place of worship for structured religions. Shrine: A small, intimate lot for personal devotion or secret rituals. Cult Headquarters: A mysterious lot type where secrecy and eccentricity reign. New Holiday Options Customize the calendar with new religious holidays, complete with rituals, decorations, and traditions. Examples: Carnival of Lights: A faith-neutral celebration featuring food, music, and games. Sacrifice Day: For the Kine Society. (Don't worry, no Sims are harmed!) New Types of Death Death by Overwhelming Laughter: Tragic Clown followers can laugh themselves to death during a failed ritual. Death by Moo-Misstep (Beelzebeef’s Wrath): A Kine Society member offended Beelzebeef. Faithful Departure: Sims who reach the pinnacle of devotion ascend dramatically (or humorously) to "The Great Beyond." Cowplant Blessing Gone Wrong: A risky ritual performed by followers of the Clan of the Cowplant. If the blessing is mishandled or the Cowplant isn’t properly appeased, it may lash out, consuming the Sim in a fatal act of "divine punishment. New Careers Clergy Member: Rise through the ranks of your chosen faith, from a humble novice to a revered leader. Cult Leader: Start your own cult, recruit followers, and earn Simoleons through secretive donations. Part-Time Jobs Shrine Keeper: Tend to sacred spaces and earn Simoleons while building your Faith skill. Ritual Assistant: Help plan and execute rituals for various organizations.

For example a Sim has a simple bed that goes with the decor but you have the Simoleons to pay for a much better mattress you just click on the bed and select "Buy a new Mattress" then a list of amounts pops up and you select how much you want to pay and the level changes the energy and comfort level of the mattress.

This is a reference to the Dracula from 1979 starring Frank Langella. This is also Vampire lore accurate. They used to take all white or all black horses into cemeteries and make them walk across the graves. If there is a grave the horse refused to walk over, then that is where they determined a vampire was resting. I think it might be cool for evil Vampires to make flowers wilt when they pass by Vampires and Ghosts get a dance animation exclusive to just them. When slow dancing with another Vampire or ghost they will start hovering in midair while doing the dance. Vampires have a favorite Plasma Type Unlockable new Vampire Power - Eclipsing Fog just like Sims 3 Parasols will help to shield a Vampire from the Sun for short periods If there is a hospital Sims can go in and donate plasma. Vampires on the other hand hand can go in and choose to steal or purchase plasma from the unscrupulous. (Only Lovers Left Alive Reference) I would like it if fastidious neat freak Vampires would have an occasional dusting of their coffin & maybe spray something like Febreeze inside it, just for laughs Sims will get the feeling they are being hunted like in Sims 3 If Burglars get introduced Vampires will always attack a Burglar - They always win and when they do, Yum. Like staying in and ordering Take Out. (In fact that would be a wonderfully morbid moodlet) Chance to make the burglar their minion. Forgotten Hollow should get its own Cemetery Lot & Bell Tower Werewolves Update If they don't already have this Werewolves should have the "Smells Like Wet Dog" moodlet after they shower. Werewolves cannot wear silver jewelry or hold canes with a silver handle Weather Update Fog - Light Fog Pea Soup Fog - Thicker fog Eclipsing Fog - Thickest and Supernatural in Nature and a part of a Vampire's learnable powers. Allows a Vampire to walk freely in the daylight but only briefly Sandstorm for Deserts & Dust-storm for dry area1.4KViews13likes37CommentsTherapist (NPC Idea)
I wanted to see the Therapist again so here is my idea! The Therapist NPC from The Sims 2 could be brilliantly reimagined for The Sims 4 as part of a potential Game Pack or free update focusing on emotional well-being and mental health. In this remake, the Therapist would appear when Sims experiences extreme negative emotions—like being overwhelmed by sadness, fear, or anger for prolonged periods—or when their emotional states lead to a breakdown. The updated version of the Therapist would offer multiple interactions, such as a calming "Breathe with Me" action or insightful "Let’s Talk About It" dialogues, which could help Sims regain emotional balance. Players could choose whether the Therapist's appearance is autonomous or triggered by a Sim calling for help via their portable touch phone. Additionally, the Therapist could provide temporary buffs, like "Feeling Heard" (Happy +2) or "Emotional Clarity" (Focused +1), encouraging players to engage with mental health as part of their gameplay. With a sleek new design and updated animations, this revamped NPC could blend nostalgia with meaningful gameplay additions in The Sims 4. I think it can be included after the Blast From The Past Event Since The Update On New Pack Is A Hidden Surprise24Views0likes0CommentsArcades, Games, and Geeks (Idea)

I had a Sim that I played as a part time job Fisherman and it was ok. As someone who worked within fisheries I feel like there is a cool opportunity with this as a full fledged career. Maybe not one where we join, but I think having it as a full time career versus a part time is more plausible. Being a fisherman is considered a dangerous profession since there is so much that can go wrong due to environmental factors. You can work your way up from being a deck hand to a full time captain of your own vessel. Plus I feel like at a certain point it should give you the options to be a fisherman that does day trips versus being out a sea longer than a day (1+ - 5 days maybe?) and you can designate how long they go out for, for each trip. The longer they go out the higher the risk they “get lost at sea”. I feel like you can add being able to find mermaid kelp or bring back fresh fish to cook with would be cool little bonuses too when they return.21Views0likes0CommentsThe Sims 4 should get a lighting update
For all intents and purposes the lighting is good and fits the vibe of the game but i would like to see it get a bit more detailed, esp on the highest settings. For example: 1. actual shadows and detailed lighting on the sims. As it is now, sims use a different shader from the rest of the world to make them smoother and imo more noticeable in the environment. In the sims mobile, though, they gave the sims the same shader as everything else in the game, making them blend in just a bit more, and look more appealing, especially when standing outside. 2. higher resolution light path textures. besides overall fixing the lighting so that both mac and pc have the same look (currently, 2025 jan 25th, on mac furniture doesn't cast shadows) i believe that the resolution of lighting should be improved as well. I refer to light path textures as the pixelated line between light and dark that you get when a light gets partially interupted with a wall and gets blocked off, which, since the 2014 release, has not been upscaled. Improving this part of the lighting would make the game seem more detailed and realistic, as well as more pleasing to the eye. The light path also has a weird issue with items placed on the diagonal, which i believe would technically be fixed by upscaling the light path textures as well. 3. ambient light. I feel that the sims 4 lighting falls flat in shadows, whether its outside or inside. If there was automatic ambient light, like there is a faux ambient occlusion, the game would get more depth visually. Rooms with smaller windows wont look completely engulfed in darkness, lighting could get more dynamic, with a less drastic falloff, buildings on the outside would look less flat when in shadow etc. It would solve the issue of buildings that dont look to the sun at noon looking flat and undefined - a reason why many players or youtubers tend to not play in certain lots. 4.simplistic raytracing. This would need to be a separate box that would appear on raytracing-enabled devices (RTX GPUs, M3 macs or equivalent) . What i mean by simplistic is that instead of using cubemapping for reflections or light path maps for lighting, it could be all automated with simplified raytracing. For example - roblox's newest lighting engine, Future, but with softer lights. Also Sims 4 is far more closed off and optimised than sims 3, which had fake raytraced reflections, so i believe adding such a feature to the game wouldnt be that performance heavy. 5. More visual processing. I feel like the game could benefit from having a bit more of a bloom effect, not as extreme as sims 3 had, but more than it does now. Also i feel like sims 4 would benefit from some contrast, making well-lit interiors less flat and more homey in my opinion. Extra: This would extend to the worlds themselves, rather than lighting, but i would also like to see more world-specific effects since the game can take advantage of more resources. Like you could see effects of sand getting blown around in oasis springs, dandelions appearing in the spring, all plants subtly moving like trees, more birds and insects flying around all worlds, subtle/rare wind line particles etc. just stuff to make the game feel more alive.21Views2likes0CommentsThis new home screen is awful...
The original home screen had everything in a nice neat list and I didn't have to go all over the screen to turn on my mods after an update. If it ain't broke don't fix it and all that. And like everyone else was saying on Reddit, WW is going to be an even bigger problem now. Plus, it's ugly and kind of looks like a free to play launcher in all the worst ways. Plus, it didn't even fix the problem of them hitting you with sims ads at every turn. It just stresses me out.164Views5likes3CommentsMore Inclusive Holiday Options
I am honestly amazed that this hasn't been implemented yet. There is no reason all Sims should universally get a negative moodlet for not participating in a holiday. Please make space for more diverse traditions! If I want one house to celebrate Hannukah and another house to celebrate Christmas, I should be able to. Allow calendars to be individualized to each household. There could still be an option to apply holidays to all households, maybe where you edit holidays there can be a toggle, just for this house or for all houses. But the option really needs to be there. I'm just saying. Diversity is soooo important to my Sim world. I love incorporating and exploring with different sim cultures. It really kinds of ruins it for me when I have to use cheats to remove negative moodlets for a Sim that doesn't even subscribe to that tradition. I know you can just stick with one household until the holiday is over but I very frequently switch households multiple times in one Sim day, sometimes even more so on holidays. Pleeeeeeaase add this feature!78Views6likes6Comments(Critical!) Demanding every vehicle type & every vehicle garage type (Feedback)
Critically; severely; seriously, I and we have been greatly demanding every vehicle type such as land vehicles, water vehicles, air vehicles that can be purchased, then use it to go to work, travel, and/or et cetera, for more realisms, superbly. And also, seriously, I and we have been extremely demanding land vehicle garage(s), water vehicle garage(s), air vehicle garage(s) for more realisms. This post is my feedback and advice for The Sims 4’s expansion pack(s), The Sims's sequel(s), and et cetera. Human(s) in real life bought vehicle(s) to show/collect in house, human(s) in real life bought vehicle(s) to use to go to work/travel/study. Human(s) in real life bought garage(s) to collect vehicle(s), human(s) in real life bought garage(s) to place vehicle(s) for using to work/travel/study. I didn’t mean to be open world. I meant more space to put garage(s) and vehicle(s) in house(s), park(s), vehicle shop(s), working place(s), travelling place(s), and etc.. We could use vehicle(s) by just clicking on vehicle that we wanted to use in house, park, garage, travelling area, working area, and etc.. Expansion(s) could make it happened. You could buy and sell vehicle(s) in shop mode. You could buy, sell, and create garage(s) in building mode and shop mode. They could make them happened, assuredly. Vehicles could be used to do activities and things by just clicking on it, like you click on door, shower, and etc.. It might not have animations showing vehicle(s) driving. It might have animations showing vehicle(s) driving. Vehicles were not decoration, vehicles could be operated. Place selected vehicle(s) in house and home, afterwards select a vehicle to go working, shopping, travelling and etc.. Some areas allow plane, car, boat, and etc.. Some areas only allow plane and air vehicles. Some only areas allow car and land vehicles. Some areas only allow boat and water vehicles. Some areas allow land vehicles, water vehicles, air vehicles, and etc.. Each parking lot has differences. Some parking lots allow land vehicles, water vehicles, and air vehicles. Some parking lots only allow land vehicles. Some parking lots only allow water vehicles. Some parking lots only allow air vehicles. (Feedback, advice, and suggestion)226Views3likes14Comments
