Console Player Feedback & Future Feature Suggestions
As a longtime console player, I wanted to share a few suggestions and pieces of feedback with the Sims team. First, please consider bringing back the ability to purchase and own cars. It was such a nostalgic feature in previous Sims games, and I think it would add so much personality and realism to our households. Having Sims save up for their dream car, customize it, and use it to get around would be amazing. I also want to give credit where it's due. I've really enjoyed seeing the growth in apparel, accessories, and jewelry options over the years. It's especially great seeing more Black creators involved in the creative process. I can genuinely see and feel the impact through the hairstyles, clothing, and overall representation in the game. The brand partnerships, such as Coach, have also been a nice touch and bring fresh content into the Sims universe. That said, I'd love to see even more hairstyle options and expanded jewelry choices. Things like belly rings, additional piercings, layered jewelry, and more modern accessories would help players create even more unique Sims. Also, please update the wedding ring selections we could definitely use more styles, designs, and customization options. Another area I'd love to see expanded is careers. A modeling career would be a fun and realistic addition. I also think it would be interesting if certain career paths required degrees or specific educational achievements, similar to how many professions work in real life. It would add another layer of progression and realism to gameplay. These are just a few suggestions from a dedicated console player. Thank you to the creative teams for continuing to support and grow The Sims. I hope you'll consider some of these ideas in future updates!Make your own school
Can we get the option to make our own school anywhere as a lot type. • play as a teacher • assign which sims attend school like you’re choosing who to invite to a party (100 sims +) and have a set age range (primary/ secondary) •assign year group for sims to be in (year 9/ 5th grade) so we don’t have year 7s and year 9’s all in the same maths class • make timetable for sims by subject that we can name ourselves • assign teachers to work at the school (20+) and what subjects they teach (can choose multiple e.g. teaches geography and PE) • be able to assign classrooms by subject (maths , English , science) - • be able to assign seating arrangement for classes • gameplay interactions like option for teacher to send kid out of class or to call parents for misbehaving kids, or to send to isolation or detention • add more uniforms for primary / secondary for cas that we can assign as school uniform (but would be better as a separate category in cas so we can personalise uniforms more) • more sports activities ⚽️ 🏀Company EP
Make your own company EP like businesses and hobbies but you can make a big office with different departments and assign a computer for each employee to work at (like 100+ employees) and set their work tasks and a cafeteria Set a company name / logo and make and sell company merch you can set a company owner and pass down the company to your kids/ an employee
An Optional Subscription Model for The Sims 4
I have an idea that I believe could benefit both players and EA while helping The Sims remain competitive in the growing life simulation market. What if The Sims 4 offered an optional monthly subscription that granted access to all DLC while still allowing players to purchase and permanently own packs individually? This would not replace ownership. Players who buy packs would continue to own them forever. The subscription would simply be another way to access content. Benefits for Players - New players would not be overwhelmed by the cost of years of DLC. - Players could experience the full game immediately. - Console players and players who switch platforms would have a more affordable option. - Players could try content before deciding which packs they want to permanently own. - Families with multiple players could access content more easily. Benefits for EA - Consistent recurring revenue. - Increased player retention. - More players entering the Sims ecosystem. - Higher engagement across all content. - An opportunity to bring back former players who feel priced out of the current DLC model. Many players see the total cost of expansions, game packs, stuff packs, and kits and decide not to spend anything at all. A subscription would convert many of those players into paying customers. Competition Is Growing For many years, The Sims had little direct competition. Today, life simulation games such as Paralives and inZOI are entering the market and attracting attention from players who may have previously only considered The Sims. The Sims still has a major advantage: years of content, established communities, deep gameplay systems, and a franchise that millions of players already love. However, accessibility and pricing matter. A subscription model would lower the barrier to entry and make it easier for players to choose The Sims over competing life simulation games. Ownership Still Matters Players who have purchased packs over the years should continue to receive the benefits of ownership. They paid for permanent access and should keep that advantage. Subscribers would simply be renting access. Over time, many subscribers may choose to purchase their favorite packs outright, creating additional revenue opportunities for EA while giving players flexibility. Why I Would Subscribe I love The Sims and would subscribe immediately. I believe many players who currently spend nothing because the entry cost feels too high would do the same. An optional subscription would not replace ownership—it would expand access, increase player retention, and help The Sims remain the leading life simulation franchise for years to come. What do other Simmers think?Gallery home page
can we get a custom homepage for the gallery where we can organise it and display it how we want. Like organise our households into different worlds/ folders with the option to assign lots we upload as their homes. Have the option to download every sim from a simmers homepage/ world folder as an npc drop.CC gallery
Can we have the option to download sims with CC from the gallery on PlayStation 5. Or can we have the option to automatically remove all CC when uploading/download to gallery so I can get all the sims I made on Mac on my ps 5. appreciate side note. After playing with CC on Mac when I go back to playing on PlayStation I feel like I’m going back in time
[Traits] Add, Update/Refresh or Overhaul?
I have my starting notes, but feel free to add your own. Also, note a concept of making some pack traits, cross-pack traits so you can get from other packs as well. Generally, I think all older traits could use a refresh/update—as many of the newer traits like Lovestruck and newer have some really great traits. I also think that the new default trait should be 6 slots. I know people usually ask for 5, and that there is a mod for 5, and that GRO allows up to 5. But in CAS up to 6, because weird enough I think it looks cleaner/balanced in the Simology panel, and dynasty panel as they both as set up for 2-3 columns. As mentioned in the comments Vegetarian, Lactose Intolerant, etc. should be in a separate dietary panel. As well as likes/dislikes tab for cuisine types. Also, add the Sim Characteristic Mysterious, as with occult Sims and traits like Macabre/Mystical are Mysterious Ideals, also if Medium skill and Tarot could be likes/dislikes, and Thanatology skill (they could be Mysterious). For both likes/dislikes and turn ons/offs. Existing Traits: Wanted Traits: Things that should be tied/locked to Sim Characteristic, Ideal, Emotional and/or Trait Types: Alignment System Emotionally Based Traits
