🛠️ Update Channels
Hi, Microsoft has several type of update for Windows : Critical Update : Fixing the bugs Feature Update : Adding and improving features There is no reason to destroy the game of all players in the world because Maxis plans to release a new pack. Maybe The Sims 4 could do something similar by using these update channels : Bug Fix update for all players (Required) New Features / Content update (Optional during 2 or 3 months) similar to SDX update Pack Update required for new pack (Not available if this new pack isn't installed) similar to TS2 update specific to a pack Maxis tries to do to many things at once but it created a mediocre experience for all the consumers in long term. Actually the players have never the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of the latest bug fixes when a new pack is coming.
Fantasy/Sci-Fi/etc. Themed Packs
With EbN most of the supernatural Life States are in Sims 4. I would of course like more but a general satisfaction that if you have RoM/V/W/EbN you finally almost have the equivalent to Sims 3 Supernatural. Sims 3 Supernatural (my first Sims 3 pack) is what got me hooked on buying all Sims 3 packs and almost the entire Sims 3 store, so that is why I mention it. But because I am a fantasy/sci-fi based player, non-fantasy/sci-fi packs and packs that do not compliment fantasy/sci-fi type themes don't interest me much—so that means there are more packs I rather skip/not buy than buy (but I am also aware many players feel the opposite too). At least that is what I found in Sims 4, it is easier to skip packs in Sims 4 than Sims 3. Also funny enough, I had no interest in the Journey to Batuu (I mean I probably would like the CAS and Build by the rest of the pack I have zero interest), just the Star Wars universe doesn't really have a place in my Sim worlds (but I might buy it (on sale), if they add a Dystopian EP/GP). With this, new packs are really going to have to impress me to buy, otherwise I need hard convincing just to buy packs when they are on sale. So here are some idea for packs that might interest fantasy/sci-fi/themed game style players and may or may not interest non-fantasy/non-sci-fi/non-themed game style players. Steampunk, bring back inventing that is more tinkerer/eccentric based that can work for past, modern and (dystopian) future themed players. I loved using both Ambitions/WA and the steampunk store packs (including Midnight Hollow) to create a sort of industrial steampunk themed game. This could probably be a GP but you'd wow me if you did a EP. Medieval, also a fan of Dragon Valley and baby dragons. I think many players would love to be technology free (no cell phones/computers/TVs/etc.) especially for a non-ECO off the grid challenge. I'd suggest an EP, make it so you can play past/modern tech (or lack of tech). Underground and/or Underwater Biodome, my fav Sims 2 lot was a the Biodome, I still want to see that again revised. But for a fallout or future playstyle this would be so cool. Or even ocean exploration themed. Space Station/Spaceship, or some future world. I loved Into the Future and Oasis landing! I miss nanites and the regular or dystopian versions of the future world. Whimsical, I loved the Looking Glass/Wonderland store items, I sort of used Midnight Hollow and utopian future to play an Alice in Wonderland theme game. I'd love a tea party table (I loved the store tea set table). This could be a GP or very least a SP (similar to how Paranormal works) but please not a Kit (it wouldn't be enough to work with). The idea of oversized items, from being shrunk (misses oversized flowers). How to make this work for non-fantasy themed players, theme park lots/capability for themed lots, to keep fantasy Sims in certain worlds/lots similar to werewolves staying in their world. Adventure Worlds, aka Al Simhara, Shang Simla and Champs Les Sims, JA is nice but I really loved these worlds too. This is themed but not fantasy/sci-fi so more people should be able to enjoy.
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 fill up 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 be stocked with fish. 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.
A request for a friend.
Hello, friends. I'm Kath, and recently i've gotten around to making a account here to mostly share bugs/glitches i find in the game. Today I want to talk about something else, or rather someone else.... Bobaboo. I don't know how to explain my strange obesession, but Bobaboo has been my friend for these past years, and the reason I love Mysims so much, as well as the reason why I try to be a better person. Down the road, I hope that the sims team adds him into the sims 4 as a plushie. I already made some custom cc items, and we did have Bobaboo on a bookcover in the comfy gamer kit and on a sticker sheet, but it would be amazing, out of this world amazing if we could have him as a plush toy in the game. It can be via a dinosaur expansion, or via a kit, or just a base game update. :) ''down the road?'' oh, i absolutely understand that other things must come first, such as bugfixes, a African inspired world, maybe cars, and other things i cannot think of because my head is filled with Bobaboo. I'd love a Bobaboo plushie, down the road xD Merch covered Bobaboo (wearing his christmas sweater) thank you for your time, and for what you already did for me and for bobaboo bobaboo and me chillingWhy no aromantic options for shirts/nails?
I've been told that there's options for this in the pc version but the person who told me says they have misremembered. I know they're definitely not in console. With pride clothes and nail polish being added to the sims it was very exciting to see the different options: ace, trans, genderqueer, nonbinary, etc. But there's no aromantic or aroace options. There's aromantic flags in the decor. But no aromantic nail polish, shirts, pants, shoes, etc. As an aromantic person myself this is quite upsetting. I feel unseen. EA should add aromantic options to those clothes. There's more color options on other clothes so that's not it. And even if there wasn't they could make an update with more pride stuff of the same items with different flags. EA, please add aromantic and aroace flag options for these items. It's not very fair that we don't get to exist alongside other aspecs in this representation.
[SPOILER] -------------- new sims 4 fairycore pack unreleased add-on idea
I think it should include more sim "morphs" like elves, fairies (i.e. Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit inspired). It could also include the game to have the option of inclusivity for height. This would make cool gameplay without the need of mods and provide the option to whole new ideas in CAS as well! What is everyone's thoughts? I think EA should really try to add this as some players cannot run mods.make "feminine" and "masculine" traits available for both sim frames
i can't make a woman sim with facial hair or a man sim with breasts without using mods or custom content. this is both intersexist and not trans inclusive. trans men who do not want top surgery exist, trans women with facial hair exist, and intersex people with varying features exist. i cannot make myself and my loved ones in the sims 4 unless i mod it. it would be a lot more enjoyable if i could more accurately design trans/nonbinary/intersex sims based on actual features and not just clothing preference or whether or ot they can pee standing. multiple pronoun sets would also be nice: multiple choice select and deselect pronouns and saveable custom pronoun sets would be great.
My money is wasted on the Wedding Pack... I want a refund
Its been 3 years since this pack has been released and it is still FULL OF BUGS. Every time I use it, it makes me so angry that I STILL cant have a functioning wedding. Even the dresses are BUGGED IN GAME AND DONT LOOK RIGHT - I have filed a report for the issue MONTHS AGO and the sims team refuses to fix this dumb UI issue. Its driving me insane every time I use it and I genuinely don't want the pack any more. I would rather have my 20 dollars back. I recently tried a wedding again, the dresses looked terrible, none of my guests showed up, and when I had both my sims standing by the arch, it wouldnt let them get married because "the engaged partner wasnt nearby". This pack DOES NOT WORK. DO NOT BUY IT. If they cant fix it in 3 years, it will NEVER WORK.
REQUEST: CAREER BRANCH SWITCHING
Please add a feature to restart the career branch!!! Being a completionist is so difficult as you have to pick between the chef and mixology aspirations as both require the same career but different branches. Same with journalists and author and it means it's impossible to unlock all career furniture - We need a feature to allow us to return to stage of picking a branch or being able to reset.
