Perch Arm Fingers - Little Birds Only Hand Head Shoulder Create A Pet Updates Body Dimensions Leg Length Short Legs Breeds that actually are short legged will be represented properly Note* In future the Sims really ought to have more than two sizes of dogs. It just looks odd, seems weird and is definitely lazy considering other games don't have these issues. I believe that the Sims should make a commitment to have 5 sizes of dogs.

Sprinklers have no option to make them consume less water.
I noticed when playing of the grid that I kept getting notifications that I would get a water surplus and then would immediately loose it. It took sever IRL days to figure out that it was because my sprinklers were on. Which I didn’t know this so I’m going to explain how sprinklers work because they confused me until this. On: Sprinklers run all the time Off: Sprinklers only turn on once to water the plants Disabled: Sprinklers never run. I think three things need changed here. 1) We need it to be more clear how the sprinklers work 2) I wish we had a breakdown on our bills or something on where our resources are going. 3) I wish that sprinklers had upgrades (if you own Eco Lifestyle) like water recycler to make them more water efficient. Thoughts? I would love to hear what everyone here thinks and have some discussion about it!
vampires bug
I have tried literally everything, complete wipe of buffs relationships resetting deleting re adding but every time my vampire sim bites someone they are shunned indefinitely by the other household sims for every single interaction following the bite. I have tried reading and reacting negatively to biting seems to be normal. I even tried turning off the royalty pack to avoid scandal creation and it still happens when they compell for a drink. We really need a option in game to turn off the negative reaction to catching vampire sims biting!! It's very disheartening that i cant have vampires in my active household because once they are caught biting my other sims just hate him and they never repair no matter what i try to do. It is not a mod bug i tried without mods in my game. I get negative reactions are normal and apart of the pack but PLEASE let us turn it OFF!
autonomous cuddle while sleeping
My sims used to sometimes autonomously cuddle while sleeping at night but this animation seems to have been nerfed by the Royalty and Legacy patch along with the other autonomous romantic animations. I can't express how much this disappoints and saddens me. Please bring it back! I miss that so much!
It would be nice if future Sim's game had a more indepth game experience
One of my main frustrations is that DLC such as EP's don't have an indepth game experience, it feels like diving of a diving board into a three foot deep pool.. For example, we have had several business packs that offer stores, however making a truley functional mall is not possible. If I made a mall many of the shops are just set dressing.. Wouldn't it be wonderful if an EP featuring shopping venues would have NPC's for stores as well as stands for a true mall experience. My wish list goes on and on.. I understand that a game that has to cater to many different play styles has a large job on their hands. The Sims, being in the life simulation genre, is like having 20 games in one, and that may be why there are so many glitches.. I think that it would be great if there was a future version of the Sims that offers sub-versions.. In other words, instead of having EP's, SPs, etc that cater to many different player prefrences to make a game with sub game versions. Each sub game would have it's own base game, and instead of incorporating many different gameplay style DLC, which is the standard, this alternative base game would concentrate on one type of game play.. For example, an animal lovers sub game version, and this sub game would have DLC dedicated to all things animals such as a pets pack, a farm pack, a zoo pack, stores for animal enthuists, maybe even a safari.. The same could be done for those players that like a realistic game or family players.. A more in depth experience, with less glitches, because less contradictory coding would be required, because there would be less DLC.. The core of the game would offer the same style of graphics, build tools and certain standard features accross the board, but that would be where the sameness stops and the unique player experience begins.. Maybe, this would help reduce glitches and player frustration, while giving players a more satifying experience.. I know this is much more indepth than your standard Sims game, and would require a larger investment in terms of time, maybe, more than one game engine and possibly more teams of creators to implement this type of project, so yes the intial investment would be larger.. Wether something like this would be even feasable or even possible, I don't know, however, the Sims itself was once imposible.. This is just an idea with some hope attached.Existing Pack Tweaks
Hi devs and simmers! Long time player, newbie poster. There's some tweaks I would love to see brought to life to improve TS4 PETS: Dog walker added as a service you can book over the phone, as either a one off or a scheduled basis like a maid Adjust length/times of dog walks, they're INSANELY long. A "short" walk takes my sim ~3 hours. I know sims take longer than humans to do stuff but my sim should be able to take the dog for a walk after dinner and be home before midnight. My sims with dogs almost exclusively live in San Sequoia so they can leash the dog and use the "walk around pond" interaction GET TOGETHER / ADVENTURE AWAITS make ALL the getaway activities from Adventure Awaits options for club activities, (especially would like the "care for children" type ones, and the general "build social skills" type ones) - Every family has their own club that I use to keep everyone on track so the more general options would be fantastic and save me from having to change activities moment to moment (perhaps not how yall envisioned clubs being used but I like big families and I don't like micromanaging 5 children) "Off the grid" be made available for custom lots, you're not roughing it at camp without a quick tepid shower My last request is that the existing lot traits with skill bonuses be updated to include relevant, similar skills. For instance, home studio could include pottery, and science lair could include thanatology Thanks!✂️Hair Salon & Head Spa, New Barbershop✂️
I for one would like to have something from the past brought back and & Improved. For this I am suggesting The Hair Salon & Head Spa. My I idea leans heavily in the head Spa Trend but I think there is a lot of room to work with here by combining them. Perhaps with this we could get an improvement to return to hair customization like they had in Sims 3. Without further ado... Update Sims 4 hair style to incorporate sections of the hair Root, Shaft, Ends and make the color be CUSTOMIZABLE like they did in Sims 3. The Hair Salon has different rooms. The first is Reception & Spa is The Swan Changing in the Locker Room Next is the Consultation Room - They analyze the scalp here. Next comes the Hair Washing Stations Next Comes the Steam Machine & Haircuts if needed They also have color not just cut The After Picture A little something for the fellows I really wanted to have something a little more Male-centric to the mix as well. Hot Towel Facial
More CAS Selections and Panels
First off the addition of a Dietary Panel under CAS. Dietary/Body Specifics: Move from Regular Traits to Dietary Traits: Vegetarian/Lactose Intolerant/etc. Add more Dietary Traits like Pescatarian, Carnivore, etc. Add Likes/Dislikes to Cuisine Types Add Favourite Food Likes/dislikes Coffee/Tea/Mixology Drinks/Nectar/etc. Make Utensil Preference Selected here (instead of selecting Sim but make it available to change at any time similar to likes/dislikes) Toggle Option to not gain weight from eating/food. Toggle Option to not gain muscle from working out. Toggle Sim will not autonomously do intense based working out like weights/do push ups/jog/etc. (but exclude light working out like swimming/yoga/etc.) Edit (Mar 19, 2026 Activity Panel): Activity Panel. I was also toying with the idea of Active Type(s), and possibly and activity panel. Where you can choose: how active your Sim is, and how your Sim is active. This can also help with activity autonomy, a Sim will prioritize their preference Level for autonomy, if those activities are not around they will do the levels below. But will not autonomously do activities above their preference. Lazy: Self explanatory. Low Impact Focused: Swimming, Snorkeling, Scuba Diving Low Impact and Strength Training Focused: Yoga, Free Weights, Kayaking Medium Impact and Strength Training Focused: Workout Machine, TV Workout, Cycling, Archery, Punching Bag, Pushups High Impact and Strength Training Focused: Rock Climbing, Spearfishing Specializing (optional). If you have a Sport Focused Sim they will autonomously do sports over working out and other fitness skills, if Strength Training Focused they will do muscle build activity over other working out and other fitness skills. Self Care Focused... etc. Self Care Focused: Wellness, Meditation (both Spa Day and EbN versions), making smoothies, eating healthy, etc. Sports Activity Focused: Archery, Basketball, Soccer, Football, Snowboarding, Skiing, Skating, Roller Skating Strength Training Focused (Muscle Building Focused): Workout Machine, Punching Bag (Commando Training) And in addition to the Identity Panel: Dominant/Submissive/Switch(both) for romance and pairing animation. Too often my submissive partner is taking the dominant position for IMHO in non-indicating dominant animation. Such as Flutter Kiss/Cocoon Hug (Critter Hunter trait), which I personally feel she should be able to do as the submissive position (as they are a bit girly girl interactions). But I understand some animations make sense such as Passionate Kiss where they dip their partner as the initiator (but less obvious romantic interactions, I'd like the non-dominant placement of hands/arms for her). I hope no one takes offence to this, but IMHO it is as identifying as gender, and sexual preference. And I often wish my main would be less of the initiator when doing interactions such as Flutter Kiss, or sleeping in her partner's arms instead of him in hers. This could also help for Waltzing/Dancing pairing. Dom/Sub for leading—so pairing is not by gender or random. Also, it might help if the dominant had more autonomy of being the romance initiator (if possible). At this time, I made my one Sim the dominant by being a Romantic Sim, having (via cheating) Hungry for Love Lifestyle, wearing flirty jewelry, and my submissive is Romantically Reserved (and not wearing flirty jewelry). Edit (April 29, 2026): Sentiment Editing in CAS. I think that it would be helpful to set Sentiments in CAS when making a family. Especially, how sometimes saved Sims keep previous sentiments (and even some cannot be deleted, even with mods). Having this set up can help with storytelling, as well as helping remove unwanted previous sentiments stuck from library saved Sims.
