Sims and Their Pregnancy’s
Hi Simmers! I wanted to suggest a deeper, more interactive pregnancy experience in The Sims 4—whether through a base game update or a dedicated game/expansion pack (all without needing mods or CC!). Right now, pregnancy is super simplified and could use a refresh to match how rich and story-driven other life stages have become. Here are some fun and meaningful features that could enhance pregnancy gameplay: Maternity Clothes: Add a proper collection of maternity outfits that work throughout all trimesters—casual, formal, athletic, and sleepwear—so pregnant Sims can stay stylish and comfortable without needing CC. Maternity & Family Photoshoots: Include photo sessions specifically for pregnant Sims—solo, with their partner, or with the whole family. These could create new framed photos or decor items with sentimental value. Baby Shopping Trips: Sims could go shopping for nursery items (cribs, toys, clothes, etc.), either through active lots or rabbit holes. It could come with moodlets like “Ready for Baby” or “Nesting Complete.” Gender Reveals & Twin Discoveries: Add the option for Sims to have a gender reveal event (cake, confetti, or balloon pop reveal!) and receive a special doctor visit or scan to find out if they’re having twins (or triplets!). These could be emotional moments for Sims and fun to plan. Prenatal Checkups or Classes: Sims could attend prenatal visits or birthing classes that give relationship boosts with the baby or partner, and provide helpful moodlets or unique pregnancy buffs. Expanded Emotions & Buffs: Pregnancy could bring deeper emotions—excitement, nerves, fatigue, cravings, bonding moments, and even anxious thoughts about labor or parenthood. Pregnancy Announcements & Mini Events: Include new ways to tell friends or family the big news—like a dinner party with the option to announce the pregnancy or share a sonogram photo. Guests could react differently depending on their traits! These features could add so much depth and storytelling potential—perfect for simmers who love generational or family gameplay. All of this could easily fit into a base game refresh or a future family/pregnancy-themed pack. No mods or CC needed—just more life built into the game itself. Would love to hear what others think or what you’d add!
Scared & Terrified
Is it just me or anyone else thinks the scared emotion isn't making any sense? It's so overreactive that we barely see any difference from the Terrified emotion and it also pops up so easily and, being so overreactive, just annoys the gameplay. So my suggestion is: • Remove from Scared ➡️ Keep on Terrified: - Scared walkstyle - Scream Incoherently - Hide Under The Covers (bed) - Take a Panicked Poop (toilet)Super heroes/villains pack idea
• Superhuman life state • Superhuman perks: Super strenght, speed, durability, laser eyes, invisibility, telepathy, telekinesis, Manipulate fire/ice/electricity/air, transformation, teleport, open portals, create constructs • Freelancer Career: Superhero (Stop heists and supervillains) • Aspiration: Heroic figure • Skill: Martial Arts • Gameplay: Active Criminal, Secret Agent and Superhero careers. • Lot type: Headquarters (Workplace for secret agents/superheroes/supervillains) • High tech: Prosthetics, Androids, Spaceships, Wormholes, Time machine, etc. • Neighborhood ideas: Seoul (South Korea)Sims and Their Pregnancy

"Fairies" vs. Older Occult Improvement Feedback
I appreciate your enthusiasm for the new features, but I'm quite disappointed with how occults are being handled based on the new "Faires" in the upcoming "Enchanted by Nature" expansion pack. As a huge fan of occults—vampires, witches, werewolves, aliens, mermaids, ghosts, faeries, (elves too, even though we don't have them, lol😅), and more—I feel like EA is neglecting the older occult types. While I understand that some occults were introduced in previous packs, that shouldn't mean they're forgotten. Here's what I mean: When new occults are released with brand-new features, those features should be adapted and applied to older occults as well. This seems like a logical and obvious step to me. Benefits for Simmers and EA Imagine how cool it would be to add new items and give older occults the same new features from the new pack, just adapted to fit them. This would not only incentivize new players to purchase older packs but also make existing players who already own them much happier. Ultimately, this benefits EA too. These refreshes and upgrades would encourage more Simmers to consider buying older packs. Currently, there's no real incentive for customers if newer occults are inherently "better" just because they're newer. Especially considering your statement, 'The Sims' is going to stay for a long time. It would be a WIN-WIN for all of us. Wishlist for Improving Older Occults Treating all occults equally would be amazing and would give us a huge incentive to create new stories and play them more often. Aliens (Get to Work Expansion Pack) They desperately need a skill tree—this should be a patch update. We should be able to create new Alien Races with CAS customization, including a color wheel. Why isn't a color wheel patched in for them yet? More face markings, horns, ears, etc., are needed. Linking the alien form to the original form, similar to vampires and spellcasters, is a must. It's incredibly frustrating to have to create two versions of the same alien. What if I want the same form but just want to change the color or add face markings to the alien version? I can't do that easily now, and it takes hours to try and match the second form. I want them to be recognized as one character! Mermaids (Island Living Expansion Pack) They also need a skill tree, which should be patched in. A CAS color wheel for their mermaid tails is essential. More facial markings, mermaid gills, mermaid ears, etc. An own category for face markings, gills, etc., would be very helpful Vampires: Vampires should get access to horns. This would open up possibilities for creating fantasy creatures like angels and demons! A color wheel for vampires would also allow for more custom fantasy options. In general, CAS needs a separate category for face/body markings, etc. If new occults get new features, older occults absolutely deserve a matching upgrade. Conclusion I really hope the Sims Team considers this: Whenever new occults are created, please don't forget to upgrade the older ones with matching features. These new features should be included in a patch update for older occults. Our Occults deserve better!😉🧛♀️👽👻🧜♀️🧚♀️❤️ I wish I could make a poll—I'm sure many Occult Players would agree with me. What do you guys think?
Battlefront 3 Pitch
DEAR EA, My name is Parker and I had an amazing idea if you guys do intend to make Battlefront 3, for the campaign you guys should definitely add more lightsaber missions because the one with Luke was by far the funnest mission I played on there even though it wasn’t much, and also for the multiplayer y’all should add a 1v1 dual ranked mode which would be awesome! You guys did great work for a game made 7 years ago, By far one of the funnest games I had ever played. I’ve been listening to the community and looking at what they want, and I have many great ideas and opportunities for yall to make lots of money. Please get back to me soon I would love to talk to a worker about some of this stuff! Thanks for all yall do! My email is mailto:[edit: email address removed] Please get back to me I have many more ideas that the community would love!!Help me redesign this room!!!
For context this is my sim Amelie's child bedroom but her birthday if next week and I have no idea how to redesign this room for her as a teenager as building/designing truly is my weakness in this game 😭. I will take any help/advice because I truly have no idea! She's going to end up living on a ranch with horses if this helps but I don't want her room to give horse girl. Also if anyone wants to try themselves I have uploaded her bedroom to the gallery my ID is: ems14xx and the bedroom is the only thing I have uploaded! Apparently there IS cc in this room so you'll need that box ticked but I can't find any custom content in the room.
I've missed you all!
Hi Simmers, I just thought I'd share something personal. Two years ago, I was in a coma and woke up completely paralyzed. During that time, I missed The Sims — and this community — more than I can express. I had to stop reading the forums after a few months because it was just too hard. The Sims community has always been such a big source of comfort and a creative outlet for me. Yesterday, for the first time in over two years, I was finally able to play The Sims 4 again. I actually cried during the loading screen. Like full on runny nose, headache inducing crying. LOL It was like coming home, or getting a tiny part of the old me back. My birthday is coming up next week, and I’m so incredibly happy to not have to miss out on my favorite birthday tradition again this year. I'm gonna grab a slice a cake and burn some poor sims house down LOL I’ve really missed being part of this community. I probably won’t post much since typing is still difficult and painful, but I’m so happy to be here again — even if I’m just quietly lurking in the background. 💛 Thanks for being here. cass ps, can someone give me advice on what to start saving up for? I missed 4 (ish) expansion packs and tons of kits and stuff. Recommendations please!
