Official Mod Support
You guys should add official mod support, the level and quantity of modding is obviously here to stay, why not add support for it, a modding hub, with tags used to sort and place mods in the proper place to be picked up by the game, then, console players can enjoy the modding that pc players have access to. From gameplay mods, to clothing, there really is no end to "playing with life".
NEIGHBORHOOD RAGS TO RICHES CHALLENGE
Hi Simmers! I have been watching a YouTuber simmer, Salise Plays, who, I believe, created this challenge. It's a rags to riches challenge where your sim starts with nothing on an empty lot with 0 simoleons, and has a week to survive in one neighborhood in a sim world in winter., using only the resources in that neighborhood. There are lot restrictions such as off-the-grid, simple living and reduce-recycle. The neighborhood is normally bulldozed, so the sim does not have access to free chips at the bar, for instance. There will be exceptions to this as apartments can't seem to be bulldozed in The Sims (so, San Myshuno will remain intact, just the businesses bulldozed). Also no cheats for easy simoleons, such as buying the decoration box and rummaging for decorations and then selling them. The sim she uses normally has positive traits such as loves the outdoors, self-assured, etc. You can watch her videosHERE. But I will be attempting this challenge, with a twist. The sim I will be using will have all negative traits. A sim not very suitable for survival in a rags to riches style of play. Her clothes may change as she heads to different worlds, but her traits will always remain the same. And here she is! Meet Allie Beck. Her traits are squeamish, vegetarian, clumsy and her Aspiration will be Fabulously Wealthy. I don't think any of these traits will give her an advantage in surviving the week. An additional challenge rule that I created is that all holidays will be cancelled on the calendar, because with a 7-day week, Winterfest falls in the middle of the week, and you could get a substantial gift from Father Winter, so, nah, not going to happen. However, I am going to keep New Year's Eve on the calendar as that is our deadline to have a small furnished house, with bathroom, bedroom, kitchen (or outdoor grill), and living room areas (could be one open area). The challenge ends when Spring arrives on Sunday. To have some starter funds, my sim will be allowed to take a selfie (5 pics) once she arrives on her lot in each neighborhood. If you would like to attempt this challenge, you can post your sim and progress here if you wish, (you can create your sim with any traits and aspiration). Using a randomized wheel spinner, the first world will be San Myshuno, and the randomized wheel spinner for the neighborhood will be Uptown. Skye Fitness Gym will be bulldozed and she will live there. Here's hoping she will survive!

Like I do with my own little ones Add Put "Name" in Bed Door Update Set as Back Door Set as Door to Garage Set Wreath (Front Door Only) Autumn Day of the Dead Diwali Garlic Funeral/Mourning Lunar New Years New Baby New Years Snowflake Day Spooky Day Spring St. Patrick's Day St. Valentine's Day (Love Day) Summer Winter Exercise Equipment Sims who aren't bad or messy will wipe the seats down on Gym Machines after use Fireplaces Add Clean Interaction Add Change Flame Color like Sims 3 (Bonfire, Campfire, Candles, Fireplace, Torches) Add Garland to Fireplaces with Mantles Add Stockings to Fireplaces with Mantles Fix the Auto light to not come on until the temperature outside is below 40F Gate Add Creaking Sound Affect No Sound Affect Grandfather Clock, Cuckoo Clock & Mantle Clocks Wind Set Chime Ode to Joy Westminster Whittingham Chimes at 6AM, Noon, 6PM, Midnight Grills I'd like it if you use the grill a couple of times it gets noticeable dirty Animation for using the grill brush to clean it Add Instrument Tuning Cello Guitar Harp Piano Violin Make Curtains & Blinds expandable by half squares for width Animal Update I thin we really need NPC animal especially in the forested areas with all the previous sounds, movements and interactions they had before NPC Wolves in Moonwood Mills Deer in forested area NPC Skunk and messing with it has the same consequence that messing with a real one has Mermaid Update Bassinets Deep Dive Zones and the ability to follow the Mermaids there via Scuba Diving Surfing Skill & Mermaids are great at it Waves Radio Station Update Fortune Teller French Pop German Bavarian Music for Octoberfest - Recommended Song Ein Prosit Reggae Vacuum If you run the vacuum in a room where another Sim is sleeping they will wake up Vampires Update Vampires cannot wear silver Jewelry Vampires fear all-white horses and pure white horse will be fearful of all vampires and will know they are vampires immediately. 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 desert area & Dust storm for dry area
Royalty Pack
I was thinking about what would make the sims more fun as ive found most recent packs to get boring pretty quickly, a royalty pack. For the world, a kingdom, with a castle near the top and then the houses and everything more below with maybe a market in the middle. A new job to work for a guard for the palace, an occult or an extra trait to become royal, all types of royalty. random royals from other kingdoms visiting, being able to use your royal power such as commanding sims to cook for you or do stuff for you. balls youre able to attend that arrive in the mail, when you collect the mail you get the layout of an invitation on your screen, telling the date, the time, who its help by and more. then have another place just 1 same castle or somewhere the ball is held everytime, just 1 lot. also maybe a built in garden that has a opening into a secret garden that can be a new secret world. or maybe a built in waterfall somewhere in the world then behind it is a secret world but i cant imagine how it would look. make options to handle royal duties, make ceremonies for when royalties are crowned king/queen. for outfits maybe some gowns and suits, tiaras and crowns. im not sure what else could be added but with royalty there is alot and i feel like it would be a very popular pack, meaning alot of people would buy it. i feel like this pack would add so much more into the game aswell. It would also be good for stories, it would make sim youtubers content better. and maybe when the household is created, if theyre set as royalty straight away give the player a decent amount of money, maybe 500,000. and maybe a default royal family if you dont move a family in straight away. maybe also a royal school, skills for royalty that ONLY apply to royals. i feel like a royal school would also be good maybe instead of a secret world so the sims could meet other royals like them, instead of always waiting for them to just randomly show off. and an option in the settings to disable arrivals of other royal families. and a new event to start a ball, it will give you a list of royals even if you dont know them and then people you do know. and an option for when your sim ages up to young adult or teen to "leave the royal life". if they are a king/queen they could have an option to "leave the royal life and crown someone else as king/queen" or just "leave the royal life" and you could have a section on the interactions of "royalty" so all the stuff is easy to find.
Things that would really help the game out
So I have played Sims since the first game and I love the evolving of the game but.......... they have removed a few thing's I really think they need to add back or add to the game. The cars and truck's that ur sims could drive . U already have brooms that are like cars but why not the actual cars. I think they Need to add fairys to the game it would be a wonderful game pack They Really Need to add a hight adjustment to the game not everyone is the same hight so it makes shorter people fill lefted out Thank u if u all read this but they have been thoughts that I have been thinking about for a while
Seasons needs an update
The Sims team should consider updating the seasons EP. An update to the holidays system to include features from other EPs as well as additional holiday icons. Additional family related activities. Matching clothing for the family/couples for various seasons Seasonal throw pillows. A costume category in CAS Ability to go trick or treating with treats appearing in inventory A world- they should add a world to the seasons EP since several of the newer packs are not incorporating 4 seasons of weather. If there is a seasons world, it takes the pressure off the need to have snow in the newer worlds. Baking should be base game and things that would be baked should fall under this category instead of cooking. Seasons, but not weather, should be basegame so future packs can take advantage of the changing of the seasons. Thoughts? Additions?A Traditional 100 Baby Challenge
Thought I would start a traditional 100 baby challenge inspired by other baby challenges, but this one has a twist, you must marry your forever sim and stay with them till death and try to have at least 6 babies per generation till your sim and their generation gets to 100 Babies the old fashioned way!! I wrote up a little set of rules to follow along with. I may not post everything here but I wanted to just add the sim and who he/she is marrying at the time and how far along I've gotten. It will be a very slow play-through and will take a long time for me to complete so this is more so a look-back area for the things I've done within this challenge.. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bo_LjUpW_gT6IwmLeInAOwH-_bs54HJdcSULSgJP6dA/edit?usp=sharing Meet Kolby West He is marrying Nalani Mahi'Ai and their Generation will start here!! Enjoy their journey
Idea of game modification, new packs.
I was thinking that perhaps it would be nice if thier was a separate game play version of the game. This would feature just the building option. Alot of people, it seems, just want to use sims as a building game, which I think is great. I also think EA should capitalize the idea and expand on it. Make a side game just for builders. Where u can make whatever kind of building you want, store, restaurants, arcades, malls, etc. Include all the expasion build items in it and modify the tool building fixtures to include even more building customization. Such as, Import options to pin a floor plan so you can look at it while building, option for a mood board with architecture ideas,colors,themes etc., option for a store item inventory box so you can gather all the items you want to use and save it and not have to go looking through the list of items, more freedom in camera viewing capability, more freedom in placing objects. most everyone uses the moveobjects cheat, is really necessary we have to keep putting it in? but this is just some ideas. Then when the person is done, allow them to be able load it to the gallery so they can download it into thier sims 4 or for others to. Furthermore, it would also be nice to have a mega pack with all the build it items from all the expasion packs into one mega pack. Also you could do that with the clothing options or give a discount if u bundle the pack of the 2. The reason being is, there are some expasion packs I will absolutely not purchase, do to my own personal religious beliefs, however with that being said, I've seen other players use items from the packs I will not purchase and I would like to be able to use those items to. I'd be willing to purchase the build items, clothes, I just don't want the game play that comes with the exp. packs.
