Create a Sim (CAS) Use your own picture and morph it into a Sim
Not sure if this has been posted before, I've been looking for something like this but to no avail. I was wondering, since The Sims 4 is an EA game, can they incorporate picture morphing like from other EA games, like FIFA? I can never get my Sims to look exactly how i want even with the new CAS it's very difficult to make a Sim look just like me, you know? Would it be possible to take a picture of yourself or a celebrity and then upload it to CAS and it would make a Sim you! So you don't have to use the sliders etc and spend ages trying to make a Sim that still doesn't look quite right. I appreciate that some people love making Sims and are really good at it but for people like me who aren't or lazy Simmers who just want a quick Sim, the option to be able to do something like this would be good. If EA already has it for other games then why not The Sims 4!?
Can I bring the ghost pets back to life?
Maybe it's because I've owned so many cats over the years that have eventually passed on, but I find the idea of pet ghosts quite upsetting. (During the gameplay livestream where they showed the pet cemetery on Deadgrass island and Whisper the ghost cat walked by I cried! he looked so sad.) OK, it's comforting to know they haven't completely left, but the fact that they're dead is just too much. So I have an idea to bring the pet ghosts back to life; basically have a sim who spends their time resurrecting ghost pets, but I don't know how to go about it, so I want to know is it possible? Is there a way to resurrect them? if so how? Given that they've died of old age, can they be resurrected? (I always have aging off if it's relevant) Also, if I resurrect the ghost pets on Deadgrass island will the game spawn more?Club Ideas?
I’m setting up clubs in my game for everyone to get involved with and I’m wondering if I’ve overlooked some options. I have several art clubs, from elder down to child age specific. Same with music oriented clubs. I have a club for political and business specific sims. Boy and Girl Scouts for child sims, and a co-ed program for teens called Adventure Scouts. I have a few basketball teams and bowling teams, elder through child. A homework club for teens and children. A few ladies coffee clubs and mens gym clubs. Any inspiration for clubs would be greatly appreciated. What clubs do you have in your game that you’ve ever enjoyed playing?
Ideas for Retail Business / Shops
Do you have some amazing ideas what shops you are going to create? I really want to build an Sims IKEA :D More ideas: - Flower Shop - Electronics - Bookstore - Art Gallery more information about the Retail Shops: sims-online.com/sims-4-get-to-work-expansion-pack/ http://sims-online.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/sims-4-get-to-work-expansion-electronics-store.jpg
Health Food Nut Lifestyle
My adventurous sim, just got the health food nut lifestyle, since they started as a rags to riches they could only afford the fridge and made a ton of salads which is how he got the lifestyle. However I find it weird that a lot of the new foods that come with Snowy Escape are not considered "healthy". I get that hot pot wouldn't be considered healthy (there's lots of oils and fats in it) but he didn't like avocado maki roll (which I consider healthy) and it gave him the wasted calories sad moodlet. I think that the foods that the game considers healthy need a bit of a tune up to include the foods from SE and CL cause a lot of those I would consider healthy eating options. Does anyone know what foods, that are NOT part of the health food nut cooking options, are considered healthy by health nut sims? So far I have found salad and pan fried tilapia to be ok. I don't want to always have to cook the health nut options as they make my sim energized and that buff is strong enough to cover other buffs, like inspired or focused, I want my sim to feel those too sometimes and not always energized from healthy foods.Moving Out without having to sell or keep the furniture..
When moving a sim is there a way to leave the furniture at the original home without having to sell or keep the furniture? If you decide to sell the furniture it still takes it away right? I hate leaving a house totally empty for future sims.. it just seems wrong. There should be an option to just leave the furniture.
Hanging microwaves & other kitchen objects
The kitchen is a very important part of the home. In real estate, the kitchen can be one of the major selling points or a deal-breaker. So why not have even more customization / variety available for our kitchens? Hanging / Suspended / Built-in Microwaves First off is the space-saving hanging microwave. It can be attached to a small upper cabinet as in this picture: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnt6aasIZi1qhfuqwo1_500.jpg Or be built-in to an upper cabinet like so: http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnt64jEQ5Y1qhfuqwo1_500.jpg For less expensive versions one could simply be attached to the bottom of a regular hanging cabinet like so: http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnt6fbgoOC1qhfuqwo1_500.jpg Then we have the ones that can double as a range hood and be placed over a stove: http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnsx8jQph81qhfuqwo1_500.jpg - Built-in Range Hoods Moving on to Range Hoods. The current one is a free-hanging thing that doesn't look very pretty. So how about we look at the before version of the previous image and see the range that was there instead of the microwave. http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnsx62FZ4S1qhfuqwo1_500.jpg I would love to see range hoods built in to cabinets to make them fit with the kitchen better. Perhaps they could even double as fire-alarms. Here is an example of the hood in my own kitchen (my father built the cabinets out of solid oak). http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnsxklGI851qhfuqwo1_500.jpg Lower down view of the same range and cabinet. Taken with a different camera so the color doesn't show up as well. This shows a fake tile backsplash with oak shelves above to hold the spices. You can't see in the picture, but there is an oak panel extending from floor to ceiling on the backside of the shelves- it essentially looks like an oak wall (I didn't take a picture because there is a curio cabinet up against the oak so it is hidden). http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnt5xx7ZB51qhfuqwo1_500.jpg - Pantry For dried goods and items that don't need to be refrigerated. I don't think I need a picture since I believe we had a pantry in Sims 2. - More variety and sizes of upper cabinets Upper cabinets that extend all the way to the ceiling (as seen in the above picture). Upper cabinets that fit above a window. (Please ignore the ugly ceiling-- rented the place out and tenants saw fit to destroy just about everything). It isn't turned on in the picture but there is a light on the underside of the cabinet over the window. It's currently broken so I couldn't turn it on. http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnt6yvbxzw1qhfuqwo1_500.jpg Cabinets over refrigerators would be nice as well. This one shows a cabinet over a refrigerator in an open space. http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/9/7/8/8/ar125277279788795.jpg Here is the cabinet set up to go over a refrigerator against a wall. http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnt75w9hy71qhfuqwo1_500.jpg Here is the set-up for the appearance of a built-in refrigerator. http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnt7cfpFSX1qhfuqwo1_500.jpg Cabinets surrounding refrigerator: http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnt7lslG131qhfuqwo1_500.jpg http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lntrsy8AD31qhfuqwo1_500.jpg Then we can have refrigerators with covers to make them appear to be part of the cabinetry. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnt7stfUhX1qhfuqwo1_400.jpg - Built-in large appliances Built-in dishwashers and trash compactors(don't think I need an image for that). There could also be dishwashers, trash compactors, and ovens covered to match the cabinetry. - Diagonal counters and cabinets Currently the counters/cabinets don't seem to be able to work properly if there is a diagonal wall. It would be nice if a counter and cabinet could be against a diagonal wall and still link up properly with other counters/cabinets. http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnta04XmaY1qhfuqwo1_400.jpg - More counter top styles On that note, it would be nice if counters and cabinets could link up when going around an outside corner. http://25.media.tumblr.com/9e2d0e758f1557e66f32ecde7f3a0742/tumblr_lnt9gyyWmn1qhfuqwo1_r1_500.jpg Countertops that line up with large stoves and large appliances would be great. Some of the stoves come up at the back while others are just flat. It doesn't seem that the current countertops actually line up with them. It would also be nice for a stand-alone countertop that is not attached to any cabinet to be able to be placed over objects like a dishwasher or trash compactor. I think there may currently be one in game but it does not line up with countertops from other cabinets. It would be nice if it were made to line up. - Mortar & Pestle Instead of using a blender, low-tech Sims could use a mortar & pestle instead. It could have the animation of the mixing bowl but have the same bonuses as using a blender. http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lntunoP9Ku1qhfuqwo1_250.jpg - Laundry stuff for kitchens Stackable washing machine/dryer-- because some kitchens have them. - Lighting Recessed lighting would be good for kitchens. Lights that fit onto the bottoms of cabinets would be great as well. That's all I can think of for now. If anyone has more suggestions or images to share, please do so. Edit: Onavie suggested counter-height mini fridges (both standalone and the kind that fit under the countertop). Great idea! Martialrocks suggested built-in ovens without cooktops. Do we currently have cooktops without ovens?
