Fairy Occult Rivalry
I would like to leave a suggestion to EA to stop the occult rivalry thing. It just looks racist (assuming the occults are different species from each other in magical essence), and I can explain. I have gameplay that includes all the different occults as well as human sims. Even with my vampires I have them all fully not only cohabitating but marrying each other with none having ill sentiments towards others outside of all sims naturally not liking when vamps drink from folks without permission. Drinking without permission should naturally cause dislike or negative sentiments because it is an action that a vamp can choose to do or not do, and when I play as certain vamps in my game there are some who don’t drink from anyone and use packs even though they stay near starving (I have fun gameplay with that), I have some that have a household of ‘worshipper sims’ who they drink from at leisure by draining them completely and putting their life force back after (and that’s a lot of fun), then I have one vamp who has debaucherous woohoo parties where he drinks from his lovers with permission, and uses the Cupid app to drain life from npcs as snacks (or take out) and that’s also a heck ton of fun. I have had no issue with having my vamps be likeable to some or gain negative reps through their actions if I want, and this has always led to versatile gameplay scenarios I can have a lot of fun with. But then came the fairy pack. With the fairy pack, I love the fairy powers, they are useful and I have created a sort of ‘deity sim’ fairy caste living in Innisgreen who can sort out ailments for other sims. What I’m having a problem with with fairies is their natural dislike of spellcasters and vampires, and their dislike is beyond some idea of lore revolving around magic type and magic usage. Let me explain. I have two teen sims that have been a couple for quite a while now in my game. One is a spellcaster, and the other was previously a mersim (mermaid sim), but I made a plot point for his character to have this condition where his magical ability sort of shifts due to its instability, leading to him changing over into a fairy overnight (essentially, I changed him from a mermaid to a fairy in cas for my gameplay plot purposes). Now, where these two lovers had no issues with each other previously, and their moodlets were always positive with positive interactions with each other previously while one sim was a merman, now that the sim is a fairy, he has a constant moodlet of ‘grudge’. The teen has even begun yelling at the other sim for ‘improper use of magic’, when my spellcaster sim isn’t even using magic around him. Currently, in my gameplay, some spellcaster sims are spellcasters because they have chakra molding abilities (like Avatar the last Airbender, or Naruto - chakra being some innate ability to use the bodies qi to do stuff or bend the elements, etc. Those are tv shows I have characters from in my sims 4 gameplay. Some are spellcasters because it fits that they have access to a power even though I may not being actively using their powers in my gameplay). So, my spellcaster sim and fairy sim couple are currently staying with a Chestnut Ridge rancher to learn to ride horses for my sim National Military Force (which they are both enlisted in). Where there relationship was beautiful and budding so lovely before the fairy pack came out, now, my fairy sim (who needed the transition for plot) is always harboring a grudge moodlet. I’ve tested him around other characters and he just always has one (because he has a lot of spellcaster friends including his lover). So now, it’s been a while that I’ve been trying to find where his grudge is from, and I’ve just seen that while he’s around regular human sims (no occult) the moodlet is entirely gone. When I looked this up, I found the fairy occult grudge thing, and it literally makes no sense to me. It just looks like my sim is racist. Literally. Spellcaster sims he is both friends and lovers with give him a grudge even with his bars filled to green and pink for them, and it literally reminds me of how in American history, some folks had friends and lovers of different ethnicities and still didn’t like them because of some programmed dislike that made no sense back then and definitely should not be a thing right now. While humans are all one race in real life, my gameplay has various types of sims, and human sims are like 15% in my game. Spellcasters are the largest portion of my game, and now that I have like three or four fairies (and may possibly have more at some point) these fairies have already brought some weird vibe to my game where they just have grudges and even go off on other sims for some weird reason that makes no sense in terms of how it could work for gameplay. Unlike vampires who do things that could cause sims to dislike them naturally (like consuming other sims and all) the spellcasters aren’t doing anything in my game. There are some casters whose powers I build, and some who are low level or have no need to build their magic after being born with it, so they are literally doing nothing to deserve being randomly yelled at by fairies, so why is this a thing necessary to the fairy occult? Why are the fairies so hateful for no reason? It’s annoying, and there’s no way to turn off the fairy racism. It would be one thing if fairies had just a small natural negative toward other sims upon meeting them, and if that were it (as in, once you get past meeting and knowing the sim they have no negative moodlets or grudges that are repulsive). It would be one thing if that were all to the fairy grudge (akin to how vamp sims are naturally looked at negatively by all sims until they get in good graces by not consuming folks). But these fairies just KEEP having grudges out of absolutely nowhere. My sims could mess around with his lover in one moment and then have a grudge moodlet in the next until the lover leaves, and it is getting on my nerves. There is no plot point that can make this type of thing a sensible thing for fun gameplay. Can you guys please make a toggle or something so this feature (the fairy occult racism thing, idk what it’s called exactly) can be turned off? It’s extremely annoying in every way. I also don’t see why it’s necessary when lore is not even easy to find in the sims 4. Furthermore, any lore that could account for this type of extreme grudge moodlet thing could probably be likened to American racism and discrimination from the early 1900s. Just saying. Please consider this. (I hope I found the right forum for this. I’ve never left a complaint before).18Views2likes1CommentSpiral and curved staircases
Can we pretty pretty please get stairs that can spiral or just curve and be manipulated like the regular stairs are by pulling them. the more you manipulate the more spiraled it comes and can go either to the right or the left? we really need more stair options and i know a lot of players also would love spiral stairs.21Views4likes0CommentsDlc proposal for the sims 4 : Skate Life – Urban Expansion Idea
Hello Sims community and EA team! 👋 My name is VLKSamotar1 , and I’m a passionate Sims 4 player who loves creative building, storytelling, and designing themed expansions. I’d like to share my fan-made DLC concept called The Sims 4: Skate Life, inspired by urban culture, street style, and the energy of skateboarding. 🎮 What Skate Life could bring: New Skill – Skateboarding: Sims learn tricks, improve their skills, and compete in city tournaments. New Lot Type – Skatepark: Halfpipes, ramps, graffiti walls, street food stands, and music. New CAS Items – Streetwear Style: Hoodies, sneakers, helmets, backpacks, bandages, tattoos. New Build Mode Objects: Ramps, rails, graffiti textures, benches, speakers, neon lights. New Social Interactions: “Show off trick,” “Start a skate crew,” “Practice with friend.” 🎨 Visual Style: Urban grunge meets neon glow Color palette: concrete gray, neon green, orange, black Stylized logo with a skateboard integrated into the letter “A” in “SKATE” 📢 DLC Slogan: “Ride it your way. Show your style. Live Skate Life.” I’ve included a custom banner and logo to help visualize the concept. I believe skateboarding could be a fresh and exciting addition to teen gameplay and city life in The Sims 4. I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or ideas to expand this concept. Thank you EA for supporting creativity and giving players space to dream big! 💚 Best wishes, VLKSamotar138Views1like1CommentPack idea: Mystery Train Tours
Inspiration: Murder on the Orient Express by A. Christie, Pride of Africa Tours. Would be vacation gameplay, that takes place in southern africa (see Pride of Africa: south africa, zimbabwe, zambia, tanzania, namibia). Players could choose which types of stops (Safari, Golfing, Collecting) they want to go on at the start of the vacation. Mysteries can be solved in between stops or just one per vacation. Mysteries would build on (and update) the detective Career from Get to Work. Time would be spend on the Train while it Moves (so static lot and moving Background). There are short stops, where the Background stops moving and Pictures can be taken on the Observation car. Sims Sleep on the Train and eat in the Bistro car. There might be a costume Party. Safari stops include: a Base Camp, a click Adventure of the sim doing the Safari, and a Collection of Pictures of the Safari (the big 5, smaller animals) and at least 1 Picture of the sim during the Safari. For Long vacations there is a Change for an overnight Safari, where the Player can follow their sim to a campground. Golfing stops include: different (mini)golf-Courses, possibly a spa, possibly a nectar bar and a vineyard. Collecting stops include: lots of opportunity to collect items to complete Collections (Crystals, Fish, Fossils,...[including Player owned DLC]). New Skill: (mini)golfing. New Collections: Safari Pictures, phiales of sand/dirt/water, Train souvenirs (bought on the train or a train station).20Views3likes1CommentWild Horses and the Mystical Unicorn
I've been playing the Sims since 2000 and every version is better than the previous, but certain things always makes the game just better, like pool table the original version had pool tables, you should think about bringing those back. However this is not about pool tables, this is about wild horses, I see that Sims 4 has stray dogs and cats but no wild horses, this is a must have and it should come as an update sooner than later and you can include the Mystical Unicorn as well, the Sims 3 had wild horses and the Mystical Unicorn. This update would enhance the game play of not only the equine experience but also the fairy game play. Anyway I think it would be great, what do you think?8Views0likes0CommentsMermaids occults revisited

ice u can freeze in place until u decide to let them go Hydration gauge And the meter will be the same with the hydration with the hydration washing ur hands taking shower swimming that will keep full which we know but if u kiss a sim u can drain all the moisture making them them dehydrate and feeling up ur water gauge it won't kill the sim it would just make them thirty which will an hydration option if u want to use it Mermaid tails Like how they have mermaid tails they should make some fancy octopus legs or shark tails and also have some fins on the arms and back or maybe cheeks with some gills and hand webbing as add-ons The bottom is for the for the Angel and demon occult dlc idea I had go take look at it and tell me what u think Mermaid inspired angel *Scales with Iridescent Sheen*: Shimmering scales that reflect light like angel wings, giving them an ethereal appearance *Aquatic Wings*: Instead of traditional wings, they have flowing, fin-like appendages that allow them to swim and glide through water with ease. *Oceanic Halo*: A soft blue glow surrounding their head, representing their connection to the ocean and its secrets Mermaid inspired demon *Scales with Smoldering Ember*: Dark, fiery scales that reflect the glow of hellish flames, giving them a menacing appearance. *Infernal Fins*: Instead of traditional wings, they have sharp, jagged fins that allow them to slice through the water with deadly precision. *Dark Tides Aura*: A mysterious, dark purple glow surrounding their head, representing their mastery over the darkest depths of the ocean and its hidden terrors.786Views22likes19CommentsLazy Maxis
So, Maxis has found an easy way out. Instead of actually doing the work, creating a new game that is enhanced and modern hopefully bug free they have found that by just releasing new expansions, stuff packs and kits. We the consumer will keep buying them and be content. It used to be about every 4 years we would get a brand new game that was reworked and tuned to perform even better than the last giving us that Christmas morning feeling. Now all we get are addons to the same core base that is riddle with bugs and outdated content. The Sims - 2000 The Sims 2 - 2004 The Sims 3 - 2009 The Sims 4- 2014 - ?? You can clearly see the problem here. My point? Stop feeding into their laziness and force them to build a new product instead of taking your money with ridiculous add on content. At the end of the day, the consumer wins. Also, they promised online play which will not happen until a new base game is actually developed. Just one more thing Maxis has skated over.37Views2likes1CommentCan we have some kind of a Dino Pack?
okay so i've watched Winx Club from Season 7 which is based about your past behaviour it has consequences with the current life and the future that will be in danger (just like how it is in real life which involves the animals) and i've watched 1 cute episode which involves around a beast that looked like a Dinosaur which gave me into an idea how about if we can create a story for them similar to Winx Club Season 7 and either Strangerville or Life & Death combined? we can have a cute costume for your sim which is Dino Themed (even little kids can have that costume) maybe some cute creatures you can interract with and a storyline for the dinosaur how to find certain thing or certain person (like a baby dino or something the mom or dad or both has lost or something) and in my opinion it should be in a Game Pack rather than a Expansion Pack maybe we can perhaps have a Dino skill or something so you get to know their Dino life (or creature skill so the higher the skills are the more options you can interract with) we can have the library similar to Strangerville or the Werewolve pack you get to know about the Dino life we can have atleast 1 aspiration with this pack i shared the similar idea from awhile back which also mentions the past and the dino life i know it's merged nowadays but maybe they can complement with one another very well but i'm not sure if it should be merged in 1 pack, what do you think about these 2 combined into 1 pack? maybe it can have a South/Latin America based world? (Mexico or Brazil perhaps?) just thought i share some ideas (i apologize if i used winx club for some inspiration) do others have any ideas about this pack based on what it should be about?50Views1like2CommentsWizard new positions for spell book

Ghost sim pregnancy It would be cool if a ghost sim or just a sim would be able to have children with each other if the ghost got pregnant u would see a ball of light in the baby bump and when born It would be born as a wisp u can level up the wisp and help them be born again threw a sim Sim if pregnant by ghost And if a sim got pregnant by a ghost u would see like a light glow from the baby bump and have little animations like the light leaving the belly in the same freaking out the sim then it goes back in the belly Baby or children ghost sims When the baby ghost is born the baby is still alive and we'll have a little bit of a ghost abilities nothing for us to use though like when the baby throws a tantrum it'll make the electricity of the house start going crazy or if it's playing with blocks it can make the blocks levitate in the air but once the child starts getting older he will start losing his ghost abilities and once he hits that young adult age he has to choose to be sim or a ghost Let me know what u guys think156Views7likes2Comments
