New Packs and the gallery
I think it's wonderful new things are coming to Sims 4. It's exciting to play with new content. Also, the Makers and Marketplace is great! My question is with all this new content, when will the gallery be fixed? When will all Sims 4 players have a full view of the Friends and Followers? It's been several YEARS now. I have put in help tickets, asked the forum and yet nothing is done. The old gallery was fine.
the sims 4 royalty and legacy (suggest)
The new game pack is great and adds a lot of interesting gameplay. However, a few additional features could make the royal system even more immersive and enjoyable. Alongside the Royal Throne, there should also be a Heir’s Throne, where the successor to the king or queen can sit and provide advice or participate in royal decisions. There should be Minister Chairs in the palace where appointed ministers can sit and take part in governance. A ministerial and selection system, similar to the advisory system, would make gameplay deeper and allow players to build a functioning royal court. Each ministerial role should require specific skills. For example: The Royal Doctor should require a Biology degree and at least level 7 in Apothecary-related skills. The Royal General should require at least level 7 in physical or combat-related skills. Other positions could also have their own mandatory skill requirements. The palace should include a Palace Jail, guarded by two palace guards (similar to bouncers) who watch over prisoners. There could also be a Royal Guard career, similar in structure to the Naturopath career. Kings or Dukes could hire them like retail employees. Their job would be to guard the main gate, capture burglars who enter the palace, hold them in the palace jail, and then the police could come later to take them away. Features like these would give players much more freedom and depth in royal gameplay and make the royal court feel more alive.
Suggestions for if The Sims 4 ever wants to offer a subscription for its DLCs
While the current public stance of the development team seems to be that no subscription service for the DLC is being considered, I'd still like to offer some suggestions should such a system ever be tried to be implemented. I'd suggest the following: Keep the base game free and do not make it require a subscription Still keep it so that you can buy DLCs individually from the EA & Steam store front directly Make the Marketplace currency Moola also be able to buy DLC at an equivalent exchange rate Give subscribers an equivalent amount of Moola monthly/annually to what they pay monthly/annually With the last two points implemented, the system is more analogous to paying for a mortgage, which should be a lot more popular than a standard subscription system which feels more like renting. Basically, being able to pay for DLC over time, while still being to enjoy/demo all of the DLC while you pay, and being able to keep some of the DLC after you stop paying. Now, some may ask why a subscription for The Sims 4 should be more like a mortgage: The Sims 4 is not a live service game in the traditional sense. You can perfectly fine play the game offline and without updates, which is also why the illegitimate acquirement of DLC is probably higher than it should be. As such, you have to offer some permanent value to the subscriber so that they continue to pay, just as mortgage payers continue to pay to finally some day call their home fully their own. With such a system you would very likely have a much more positive reception from the community and also probably get more users to subscribe and for longer as they feel that get more out of it in the long run.Console players wish list CAS
CAS is so important to me as a console player. Would love more hair colour options and more hairstyles. The Essential Glam kit is amazing so, can we have a hairstyles one also. More long hair styles for women sims, half up half down, blowout, wolf cuts, super long hair like 30 inches, goddess braids, Fulani braids, curtain bangs, long curls ect. Extra styles with a colour wheel would be 10/10. Would buy immediately. More makeup styles like Douyin makeup, Latina baddie, Y2K inspired, more eyelash options like fluttery eyelashes, cat eye, anime inspired. Would love to have beauty spots + freckles + highlight on the same sim. Anything that makes sims look more realistic. Would instantly buy a Y2K fashion kit. Thigh high boots, mini skirts, fur coats, long acrylic nail designs, low rise jeans with embroidery, baby tees, chunky platform heels/boots ect. I know most of this is available for PC players, but PC isn’t available for me so would love the extra stuff to elevate the gameplay. Also would allow PC players to buy the extra content if they can’t/don’t want to use mods/cc.
Kit maybe with elderly hairstyles and balding
Been looking around search and feel there isn't really many good options for elderly men currently in game is maybe like 2-4 hairstyles may be considered for receding hairlines or balding, I don't know why when so much talk about inclusivity there so little for actually have elderly look very old when it comes to hairstyles especially for males that are likely to at least either have some hair loss or get thinner hair around age of 80 or so. Not sure if its conscious decision in case random npc generator assign old or hair loss styles to younger sims. But can't help but feel its a bit weird there so little to work with when making elderly men inside sims 4.Pack idea sims4
So I’ve been playing sims 4 for quite a few years now. I literally have most of the game lol. I love that we have bicycles and kayaking and jet skis but……what I would absolutely love to see in the game is some type of off roading pack. Maybe including atvs (4 wheelers) and dirt bikes. You could include riding gear and customizable (paintable) helmets. Then to top it off be able to make riding trails on a lot or make a custom lot that is all riding trails. I would love to see something like this and would 100% buy it.
[TTSK] Missing tea options for Heirloom Tea Set
The new Heirloom Tea Set has only one tea option. With only one option available, I will probably never use this new tea set. Previous tea sets/makers have more options available (cross-play). I would love to see the rest of the tea options added to the new Heirloom Tea Set: Bee Tea [S] Black Dragon Tea [MWS] Builder's Tea [FR] Calming Chamomile [BG?] Cozy Apple Juice Tea [MWS] Earl Gray, Hot [BG?] Healthy Green Tea* Lemon Honey Ginger Detox Tea [SD] Orange Blossom [MWS] Pitch Black [BG?] Rainbowberry Unicorn Galaxy Tea [FR] Run Oolong [BG?] Steamy Ginseng [BG] Yerba Mate [JA] *Heirloom Tea Set serves "Hot Tea" by default, which gives the same moodlet as Healthy Green Tea ("Healthy Aura" moodlet, Happy +2, 4h).Cross-Platform DLC Transfers for The Sims 4
Dear Reader, As a dedicated Sim player for over 18 years, I genuinely love and enjoy the game. While I've occasionally been frustrated by some updates (or the lack thereof), nothing has been more disheartening than the inability to transfer purchased packs across platforms. I currently play on PlayStation but have been considering switching to PC/Mac for greater convenience, especially when traveling. However, I was shocked to discover that the significant investment I've made in The Sims 4 content—over $1,400 across expansion packs, game packs, stuff packs, and kits—would not carry over to a new platform. This limitation is both frustrating and discouraging for loyal players like myself. What is the point of having an EA account if it doesn't provide the flexibility to access purchased content across platforms? The idea of repurchasing the same DLC content for another $1,400 is unreasonable and alienating to devoted fans. Allowing cross-platform pack transfers would offer more advantages than drawbacks: Player Loyalty and Customer Appreciation: The Sims franchise thrives on its passionate and loyal player base. Allowing cross-platform pack transfers would show that EA values and appreciates its most dedicated players. Increasing Player Engagement: Players are more likely to engage with the game on multiple platforms when their content carries over. This flexibility enhances the player experience, encouraging greater long-term involvement in the game. Consistency with Industry Trends: Cross-platform play and transferable purchases are becoming industry standards. Major gaming companies such as Epic Games, Microsoft, and Ubisoft have embraced this model, making it easier for players to access their content across different devices. EA should follow suit to remain competitive and player-focused. Convenience for Players on the Go: Gaming isn't confined to a single device anymore. Many players, myself included, would love to play The Sims 4 while traveling or on road trips by simply hotspotting a laptop to a phone. Without cross-platform content, this becomes nearly impossible for console players. Protection Against Piracy: The current system inadvertently encourages players to seek unauthorized ways to access their paid content on other platforms. Offering a legitimate solution for transferring packs would reduce the incentive for piracy. Increased DLC Sales: Players who have the flexibility to use their packs across platforms are more likely to continue purchasing new content rather than feeling alienated by platform restrictions. Improved Customer Satisfaction: Happy customers are more likely to recommend the game and remain loyal to the franchise. Allowing pack transfers would address a significant pain point for many players, fostering a more positive relationship with the EA brand. I understand that some might argue I should simply remain on PlayStation, but it's not always practical. Being able to hotspot my laptop during travel and play like so many other players would be a game-changer for me. I appreciate the hard work the team puts into developing new content, and I'm more than willing to continue supporting The Sims series financially. However, I cannot justify paying twice for the same content. Loyal fans deserve a better solution. I sincerely hope EA will consider addressing this issue and providing a solution that benefits the entire player base. Thank you for your time and for listening to this long-time player's concerns. ~ Haley
