Some Nit Picky Requests
I might have made some posts mentioning some of these before, but here is a a list of nit picky requests that technically should be very easily done by a dev (like a matter of some file tuning), even by modders (and in some cases might even be mods) but asked to be official. OR: Catch and View Insects all need to increase Entomology Skill. At this time only Catch with Net works and only available for flying insects. Herbalism should be available to use in Cauldron and [EbN]+[OR] Add Herbalism to Apothecary Table | EA Forums - 12621176 JA: Speed up Archeology Activities (even with mods this just seems slow, and without painfully slow). CCSP's Gemology Table should work with Archelogy Table for selecting Crystals to Refine. RoM: Magical Realm, replenish the Frog Water Pump for each visit (I noticed these replenish in other worlds). Copypasto more items, specifically from other packs (such as EbN Apothecary Items/Ingredients). EbN allows some Alchemy Ingredients in the Apothecary Table to be stored, CCSP has Crystals/Metals in the Gemology Table, Frogs in the Storage Chest, etc. but when you click the Cauldron it is as if it is not available (where as food ingredients such as Apples show available in the fridges for the Cauldron). Spellcaster with a point into Spellcaster Socialite will autonomously use these socials when talking to other Spellcasters. Spellcasters with the spells: Scruberoo will automatically/autonomously clean self in low hygiene, and instead of mopping/cleaning, and Delicioso when self is hungry, use Floralorial on bugs, and Repario at least toilets. Magical Realm, isn't effected by Seasons but plants are, I don't think they should be "as this is a magical realm", and should be able to harvest year round. ECO: RoM Items should be eco friendly and off the grid. At this time even an in use Cauldron increases industrial footprint, and often the Magical Realm goes industrial. Magic should be considered eco friendly and off grid IMHO. PSP Items (specifically lights) should be all (or at least 3/4, the sconce is a grey area) eco friendly and off the grid, they are lantern/candle (though not treated as a candle) types. EbN: Maintain Houseplant needs to Maintain All Houseplants in room/area, and stay watered longer (these die way to fast, are harder to maintain than a substantial garden, and I don't want to enchant Houseplants). [EbN] Naturopath Career Daily Task, stop dependency on Computers | EA Forums - 12581890 [LD][EbN] Please Make Mystical and Disruptive Compatible with Macabre | EA Forums - 12336117 [EbN] Sim Sleep/Toilet Preference Selection | EA Forums - 12676922 AA: Critter Hunter Aspiration should not include papercraft as Nature Aspirations should lean to outdoor activities, and not an indoor/sedentary activities like papercraft. I feel like they smooshed Entomology, Papercraft and Archery in this aspiration—instead of making separate aspirations for Papercraft and Archery.The Butterfly/Moth Habitat—I want a version for Frogs/Axolotls/Insects!
I love the butterfly/moth habitat—it looks so good with the butterflies/moths displayed! But now all I can think of is having something like this for frogs, axolotls and insects. The normal containers are not the most attractive (besides Death Frog) for all of these—Sims 3 did it better. But if collection habitats/displays were available for these it would be amazing :) It would also be nice if we could place overflow (aka duplicates) of butterflies/moths in there too—so they all can be stored there. edit: added axolotls
Cozy fall/Halloween Family Home
Hi all! I just wanted to share my newest build, a small family home all decorated for fall/Halloween! I had so much fun building this house. I imagined a young couple here, with their son and they all absolutely love the fall/Halloween season! Let me know what you think! You can watch the full speed build here: https://youtu.be/3xPY5kqavX4
Create a Sim
I would love to see more customization options in Create-a-Sim to make Sims feel even more unique and realistic. One feature I’d really like added is dimples, since they’re a small but expressive detail that can give faces more personality and variety. Additionally, it would be great to have an option to adjust how clothing fits different body types — for example, being able to loosen, tighten, or tailor clothes to better match a Sim’s shape. This would not only enhance realism but also give players greater creative control over how their Sims look and express themselves.
It's time for Create a Sim (CAS) to get a Family and Relationships update.
This is something I've just been begging and hoping for since Growing Together and Love Struck came out. I also been posting about this recently on Reddit and Twitter, but Family Dynamics and Relationships seriously needs to be updated in CAS. This was something I really had high hopes for and had hoped for along with being able to use special the eye colors and features on normal sims which I am very happy that we finally got them TvT. When it comes to Family and Relationships there needs to be more in CAS, it sucks being limited to mother, father sister and brother and household member. It would be nice to set sims as Aunties/ Uncles, Niece/Nephew, Cousin, Grandparents or even God/Step-Parent without having to created the parents, it adds more diversity when creating families and we don't have to go through so many hoops adding and deleting sims just to create the family we want. There's also an issues where you can't set a sim to have two mothers or two fathers without playing with genetics which is very annoying and I hope that one day we can just set a child to be able to have two parents of the same sex without having to play with genetic this really applies more to already existing sims too when you pull sims of the gallery. The ability to have more than 1 spouse. This was something I was really hoping for when lovestruck came out. I like playing with polygamous sims and it also sucks that when I'm creating them in CAS only one of them can be set as spouse. it would be nice to be to at least be able to set up up 2-3 spouses in CAS. It would be also nice to have Friend, Rival, or Nemesis instead of just leaving someone as a household member. It's a little weird when starting a save with sims that a just household members. With a Family and Relationships update it would allow Simmers to create more chaotic stories and playstyles Like Example: if I could start my sims off as Enemies living with it other and I having to play with them to get them grow to tolerate or even like each other. What if I could start off with a child sims and there grandparents because the parents died young... you know stuff like that. I hope the Sims Team takes this into consideration and add these thing in the future even if its little by little. Again it kind of just sucks when you are limited to 1-2 type of household, and it would just be nice to have a little more variety in the game when it comes to family and relationship. What do you guys think?
Infants, Toddlers and Elders.
So I'm happy that the kids finally got stuff and gameplay dedicated to them with the camp, the playground, the IF and many more things. Infants and toddlers and elders still I feel neglected like with stuff and how the elders don't have their own gameplay dedicated to them. Let's with newborn, infants and toddlers I would like to see pacifiers it can soothe all three to sleep or to stop crying, also imagine trying to ween off a toddler from the Pacifier. Toddlers and Infants with the strollers like I give credit where credit is due to the Devs thank you for having Toddlers and infants more in the world however I would like to see strollers out in the world like in reality you see people walking down the street with the babies in the strollers, even at the parks or when they are walking the dogs. Infants need more equipment like I get the playmate but someone was playing Sims 2 and 3 and I forgot we had a baby swing and I was like omg it made me tear up because I miss those swings, an infant can be in a swing or a bouncy, or a baby rocker. Toddlers now I love they can play at the playground we need the toddler swings the bucket looking ones, the springer playground equipment. A tricycle, motorized cars they can sit in and drive around. Elders we need walkers, canes, maybe even a wheelchair, I know we have dentures in CAS and BB but what if we have a gameplay and a sim with no teeth and they put they teeth in. Or brush they dentures. Elders have a little less strenuous exercise. Also we need a potion so Elder don't have to die from over excersion. Any more thoughts Simmers???
Lifespan 4th option?
Not sure if this idea even belongs in this category or not. It's my first time posting. But it's an idea soooo... what-the-hay. 😁🤷 My thought is more of a wish/want/aspiration (lol). I think it would be nice to have a 4th option for lifespan. I just saw a post (or two) about it from past forum topics. But there were only a few touching on this thought, and most recent one on this topic was from, like, three years ago. So, I guess, now I'm wondering if this is something even worth revisiting; or perhaps it's just not a popular enough want...? Remains to be seen. =] Anywho... I have my Sims on "long" lifespan. But that options has kinda become waaaaay too long. And "force-aging" every single one of them is incredibly tedious. But "normal" is too short; as for "short"... yeah, forget about it. lol. So I was thinking "Medium" would be a nice "Default" option. I think it might help reduce the use of the amount (or frequency) of simple cheat codes (IE: fill needs) just to boost early play; mostly in order to enjoy the full scope of "potentials" within game-play. My long-time goal is a legacy. But in the nearly twenty years I've been playing, I've yet to accomplish it. Mostly because game-play has become an incredibly, amazingly immersive experience; which is awesome. But add in (extra) long lifespan, plus everything the game has to offer, and then add in new expansion packs that are deliciously diverting... it becomes too much. IDK if a medium lifespan will help, but it would be a (hopefully simple add) feature that I'd like to see. Okey-doke. That's all I have. Thanks for taking a look-see. Hopefully others feel similarly. If not, no worries. Happy Sim'ing!! 💙👑Expanded Hair Customization
I've never posted in the EA forums so please forgive me if this topic has been covered (I did try to search for previous discussions on this topic to avoid duplicates). I think expanded hair customization would be a fun way to alter Sims. Specifically, being able to add highlights/lowlights, balayage, give Sims perms they end up loving/hating, etc. I know some styles have them built in already but we can't even customize the different hues used in those styles without changing the base hair color of our Sim and changing their hair color obviously has an effect on every other style used. Even if it's not a base game update, a pack of some kind where Sims can visit to get hair treatments that are preset and/or can be customized in CAS would be great. Again, if this has been discussed before, I apologize. I'm curious to hear the thoughts of others. 🙂
