No body hair Opt Out, Middle School aged Sims, etc.
I've been playing The Sims since it first came out way back in the early aughts. I've seen it go through many transformations over time. While I seriously miss the separate worlds of Sims 2 and the ability to completely edit every little detail in the Sims 3, I have to admit I do enjoy the Sims 4 when out exploring the neighborhoods. This is something I haven't done in the last ten years since it's conception, but it's made me realize why we don't have the ability to plop down lots wherever we want. There's so much to do just by walking around and exploring. This is definitely a game set up more for the game player than the decorator, even though they have quite a bit of decor to mess around with. With that said, I read online where the Maxis team is coming up with new expansion ideas. None of them interest me. Maybe it's my age, or maybe I just prefer to play differently than most simmers. I keep wondering who is actually suggesting these ideas they are listening too. Will they ever listen to me? Ha ha! I'm still waiting for them to give us a button that opts out of body hair. There's been many times I go in and create a Sim and triple check to make sure they don't have any arm, leg, chest, or back hair. Then, during gameplay, all of a sudden my "hairless" Sim has grown arm and leg hair. How? I don't get it. I told the game not to give her any hair there. I know in the real world there are hairy people, and some players must enjoy having to shave, but I absolutely hate doing that in real life so why would I want to do it in The Sims? The other thing is, when my female sim dates another female sim, sometimes that female sim has back or chest hair. I don't like that. At all. Give us the OPT out of body hair option just like we can opt out of acne. Please!?!?! Another thing I would love to see is preteens. My nieces are of preteen age and they also love to play The Sims. However, they don't like the fact that they aren't represented in the game. The high school students are treated too much like young adults. They even wear the same clothes as young adults/adults. It's like you go from being a kid playing in a treehouse to suddenly worrying about college. There definitely needs to be middle schoolers in this game. Represent please! Those are the two main things I would love to see from Maxis instead of the expansion packs they are currently working on. I used to buy every single expansion pack, mostly for the decor because I love redecorating houses. Lately, I stopped purchasing them because I noticed many of the things that should have appeared in the expansion pack came out in a stuff pack or a kit. I know the two most important words in business are Cash Flow, but I feel like EA has gone from thinking of the player first to thinking about their pocketbooks first. I hope not, but it's just a feeling I get with The Sims 4. Anybody else want to add to this?
Please, please fix the townie outfits. I can't take it anymore.
We REALLY need these random townie outfits to be fixed, ASAP. And it seems the more packs you have, the more outrageous the randomly generated outfits become. I think having or being able to save premade outfits are a great idea, that would make townie makeovers so much easier. Or at the very least, there should be a specific selection of outfits that have been put together by an actual person (Devs or otherwise) for the algorithm to choose from. The randomly generated Sims and their outfits are just a bit too, well, random. It is way too time consuming to fix every weird looking townie and their outfits. But I feel like I don't really have a choice because playing with them looking like that really bothers me lol. I also don't appreciate when I spend 3 hours in CAS meticulously planning 5 perfect outfits for every category....And then I see that sim out and about still in the most absurd get up ever. This not only happens to NPCs, but also my active or played households as well. Like why is my recently revamped Mortimer in a purple sequence vest, hiking boots, super short gyms shorts, with his eyebrow pierced and wearing a top hat...... Maybe its just because I have more packs now but I don't remember it ever being this bad before. This problem has become very pronounced. Also, even more than just the clothes, random generated townies even just look weird physically. The characteristics they end up with just don't fit together. Surely there has got to be a better algorithm to make normal looking townies (And by normal I just mean not a bizarre mish-mash of features. And not being dressed like an alien who saw a clown once and thinks this is how all humans dress) Like

New packs/content please
I am apart of a Facebook group that has a bunch of ideas for new content which would be great if Sims4 creators would make! Zombies(extension to life and death pack?) fairies garages/Cars sims that have element powers(water,earth,air,fire) medieval times (Royal people) burglars criminal minds esque pack Spiral/Flareout staircases elder sims playing bingo no loading screens just walking map to map multiplayer occult sims have their own high school Teen pregnancy teens that graduate early having adult jobs more active careers realistic careers new maps underwater(mermaids extension) outerspace(alien extension) Something like avatar(blue people movie) amusement park more scenery maps
