Ideas for Future Packs & Expansions
I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to add some ideas that I believe would make for amazing gameplay! Tattoo Parlor - it would be incredible to have this as a playable career path and skill set. Dentistry - with the introduction of children losing baby teeth, it would be interesting to expand this concept into a career path to where Sims can get braces, dentures, fix cavities if they don't regularly brush their teeth, etc. More After School Activities and Clubs for Children - it would be fantastic to have more skill and responsibility building opportunities for children. Some ideas are: ballet or dancing, ice skating, 4H Club, marching band, sports (baseball, football, hockey, etc.) More Lot Challenges with Weather Impact - certain weather events could possibly impact the lot. Examples: flooding with heavy rain, damaging wind when windy, wild fires when hot and dry, etc. More Marketable Hobbies - Examples: pottery, doll making, candles, glass-blowing, etc. Theme Park - I know we have the little fairground for the teens to visit after prom, but it would be amazing to have rollercoasters, rides, and booths for the entire family to visit and interact with any time! These are just a few ideas! Like I said, I'm sure they've been discussed before, but I'd LOVE to see these added someday!
(Critical!) Demanding every vehicle type & every vehicle garage type (Feedback)
Critically; severely; seriously, I and we have been greatly demanding every vehicle type such as land vehicles, water vehicles, air vehicles that can be purchased, then use it to go to work, travel, and/or et cetera, for more realisms, superbly. And also, seriously, I and we have been extremely demanding land vehicle garage(s), water vehicle garage(s), air vehicle garage(s) for more realisms. This post is my feedback and advice for The Sims 4’s expansion pack(s), The Sims's sequel(s), and et cetera. Human(s) in real life bought vehicle(s) to show/collect in house, human(s) in real life bought vehicle(s) to use to go to work/travel/study. Human(s) in real life bought garage(s) to collect vehicle(s), human(s) in real life bought garage(s) to place vehicle(s) for using to work/travel/study. I didn’t mean to be open world. I meant more space to put garage(s) and vehicle(s) in house(s), park(s), vehicle shop(s), working place(s), travelling place(s), and etc.. We could use vehicle(s) by just clicking on vehicle that we wanted to use in house, park, garage, travelling area, working area, and etc.. Expansion(s) could make it happened. You could buy and sell vehicle(s) in shop mode. You could buy, sell, and create garage(s) in building mode and shop mode. They could make them happened, assuredly. Vehicles could be used to do activities and things by just clicking on it, like you click on door, shower, and etc.. It might not have animations showing vehicle(s) driving. It might have animations showing vehicle(s) driving. Vehicles were not decoration, vehicles could be operated. Place selected vehicle(s) in house and home, afterwards select a vehicle to go working, shopping, travelling and etc.. Some areas allow plane, car, boat, and etc.. Some areas only allow plane and air vehicles. Some only areas allow car and land vehicles. Some areas only allow boat and water vehicles. Some areas allow land vehicles, water vehicles, air vehicles, and etc.. Each parking lot has differences. Some parking lots allow land vehicles, water vehicles, and air vehicles. Some parking lots only allow land vehicles. Some parking lots only allow water vehicles. Some parking lots only allow air vehicles. (Feedback, advice, and suggestion)
Random Suggestions
Not bugs, just some ideas for gameplay... Why can't the projection screen in Little Campers, which is meant to be used outdoors, function in the rain? Also, why don't we have a poolside stereo that is waterproof as well? Seems sensible. I'd like to see new developmental questions asked by children of their parents rather than the same 3 or 4 over and over. I also wish Sims better recognized each other as family members - and hey - maybe even a reminder for players as part of their floating, live mode name plates when you hoover on them. It would be nice for Sims not to flirt with their relatives - something that was said to have been fixed but still happens. It might also be nice for those of us who play enormous extended families or take long breaks between play sessions to have a little reminder of who is who, in the way of name plates telling the relation (if any) to the Sim you are actively playing. This way you can be reminded that you are talking to "Uncle Bob Smith" or "Cousin Thom Sanders" or whatever the case may be. And of course, the option to toggle this feature on and off would be wonderful for preference of play - so long as the Sims are programed to remember who they are related to. And while we're at it - why not program in some relation-specific interactions. There are types of roughhousing that usually come from uncles. There are types of secrets only shared by siblings There are types of trouble that only a cousin can get you into... that sort of thing. it could make interactions with relatives more dynamic, meaningful, and interesting. I would love to see more playground items for children. Slides, Teeter-totters, merry-go-rounds. New gym equipment like dead lifts, chin-up bars, ellipticals. I don't think we've ever gotten new Scenarios since the original batch - wouldn't it be fun to throw in a dozen more of those? More clutter items - fresh and modern. Room specific - kitchen, bedroom, etc. And for the love of all that is good and holy - make the new clutter items ACTUALLY FIT ON SHELVES. Haha So many clutter decorations can only go on countertops or tables, yet we have so many display cases and curios that should be for those things... for example - tell me why the Challah bread can only go on a kitchen counter but can't be thrown on a shelf? Kitchen appliances eat up counter space quickly - if you also litter your counter with decorations... where do you actually prep food? I think all "clutter" items going forward should be able to be placed anywhere - except in cases where they would obviously be too large to do so. I don't expect the cardboard boxes full of clutter to sit in tiny shelves - but tiny individual items should. While we're at it - why is it that cats can jump up on top of a refrigerator, but I can't store anything up there? Have you ever been in a real person's home? Everybody stacks crap on top of their refrigerator!! Haha!! And following the candy bowl idea from the paranormal stuff pack - why don't we have more bowls of snacks that can just sit around the home? Candy, fruit, nuts, cookies, biscotti - etc. Things Sims can grab and snack on without always going to the fridge and waiting 3 days for the chef's hat to pop up... Also, it would be something available for visiting guests. Not every visit it a full on party with a buffet and a bar - sometimes Aunt Martha wants to drop by to gossip on a random Tuesday, and it would be nice to have her favorite cookies on hand while you chat. Last random idea for now - can we dial back the neediness on animals, especially cats, dogs, sheep, and goats? No matter how independent I make my cats & dogs or how well I take care of my sheep and goats - they always seem starved for affection and depressed about it. Moping about - makes me sad. It's like the game expects you to spend every minute of every day with them... which just isn't reasonable. Even after unloading every possible affectionate interaction upon them and turning them green and happy... they only stay that way just briefly, a couple of real life minutes or in game Sim hours at best, and then they are either depressed or bored again. Cats & dogs especially have each other to play with and toys to play with - but that never seems to matter. If you are not currently interacting with them - then they are sad. And I think that's silly. Especially for cats.Cosmetology Career💭💇🏻♀️?
I've played the Sims for the majority of my life and there are a ton of things that I would love to see and think would be so cool for The Sims 4 in particular. One of those things being a cosmetology career. I went through cosmetology school while I was a junior and senior in high school and I loved it, I've been licensed for nearly 5 years now. I would love to kind of "re-live" that moment through my simself with this career path. (Below are some notes I wrote down earlier, feel free to leave suggestions as well🫶🏼) Cosmetology career- Sims will be able to go through beauty school to earn their cosmetology license and choose to become a hairstylist, nail technician, esthetician, barber, etc CAS items will include (black) scrubs, stylist apron/smock, new hairstyles(braids, locs, updos, curls, etc.-anything you would want done at a salon), new acrylic nail shapes/designs and colors, etc Build/buy mode should feature everything needed to create the perfect dream salon -from the equipment to the elegant decor! Most items should be functional, with the exception of some "clutter" items. Functional items should include(but are not limited to): stylist chair/station, shampoo bowl/area, receptionist desk, hot tools(curlers, flat irons, blow dryer, etc) shears/clippers, you name it! You can choose to create a full service salon or a building with individual suites. Sims will have the opportunity to manage their own salon or be an employee(booth rental and commission based pay can be discussed) Sims will apply to be students of cosmetology at their chosen institution* (there should be at least 2 different schools with 2 different instructors/classes per school: meaning your sim will be enrolled in either class A or class B). They will complete 1500 hours of training (not exactly sure how you would break this up in game with sims time and all) and register to take their final exams. *The beauty institutions must include a classroom for theory/book work and salon area for practical/hands-on work. Once they have completed their hours and pass both written and practical portions of the board exam, they will receive their license via mail(larger one to display in their place of work and smaller one to keep in sim inventory) and choose their next step! Sims can go on to be hairstylists, nail techs, lash techs, makeup artists, barbers, waxticians/estheticians, etc. Sims will have the opportunity to participate in unique activities throughout their career: hair shows(can be a "class field trip"), skill enhancement classes( can be done in school or as a field trip) and continuing education (skill enhancement/refresher courses after graduating) Sims may also have the opportunity to revisit the school they were taught at to give industry advice to future cosmetologists! For the age range I was thinking between the Teen and Adult life stages( I'm not even sure you can do that but 🤔🤷🏻♀️) Teens can enroll while still in high school(dual enrollment) and young adults and adults can enroll in place of regular university This is all I've come up with for now. other ideas I've had were for a tattoo artist/piercer, but I haven't worked out any of those details yet lol. Hope yall enjoyed my little blurb, fingers crossed this may become a reality 🤞🏻 (and I know I'm not a famous simmer or anything but I'd love to have my hand in creating this lol)
Ideas: Update of Cameras, Poses, and Photo Display Options
Table of Contents: Modernized Camera Settings Populating more Poses with Personality Photo Studio Sessions: Group Poses made Easy New Ways and Items to Display Photos Creator Collaboration Kit Idea with Ravasheen Modernized Camera Settings We are overdue for an update of camera functionality as well as new poses for selfie mode, for taking photos of other sims with phones, cameras, and for the photo booths. Many of us enjoy personalizing sim homes by displaying photos of our sims, their families, and friends so I think this will be a welcomed update to enhance gameplay. We also need to be able to better control the zoom in all cases, but on selfies in particular because many of the current options are too close up and awkwardly cut off sims from the photo. The ability to rotate sims in the shot would also be great for optimal background positioning and sometimes better lighting (Ravasheen's ISO Love Camera mod currently has this functionality). Cameras also need the ability for flash and night mode so that we can enhance the lighting for better picture taking. New modern filters would also be welcomed, including silly ones like the iconic Snapchat cartoon dog face filter, as well as popular cleaner styles from Instagram. I think a 4th giant new photo size option would be great so that grand/rich houses can have the ridiculously large scale portraits hung up. I can see sims displaying gigantic self portraits, family portraits, and landscape photos in their homes. We should also have some sort of ability to put cameras on a timer so that all sims can be in the photo together. Populating more Poses with Personality We could also do with more pose options in the camera settings that are attached to specific Sim traits so those so photos are more individualized for the sim being immortalized in film. Lovestruck promotional images for Cupid's Corner had many hoping that we would be able to take these kinds of special photos of our sims in game. A materialistic sim could pose with their money. A snob could be looking down their nose at the camera. A bookworm could be looking up from the book they're holding. These trait poses would only be accessible as a pose if the sim has that trait and available in both selfie mode as well as when you select the option to take a photo of a specific sim by themselves. I imagine there are many poses already created that have been used by the Sims team for promotional purposes on pack art as well as gameplay ads and this would be a great way to reuse that work by making it available to players who in some cases have been asking for it. And of course new poses makes the job of the marketing team easier in the long run. A win win for everyone. Each game pack could also come with their own set of special pose options that come with items specific to that pack. For example My Wedding Stories can have poses for the bride and groom to do with the bouquet that comes with that pack, Parenthood could have family portrait and pregnancy shoot options, Growing Together could have options for showing off lost teeth or successfully riding a bike, Cats & Dogs could have photos with pets (like in the Expansion Pack art), Seasons can have photo choices for Winterfest, Harvestfest, Spookyween, Springtime, etc. Supplementing existing unshared but created poses with the amount of Pose Pack CC currently available on Curseforge, I think this could be a great community collaboration which would also result in this all happening faster and in the great variety needed to make current gameplay more dynamic while also injecting more sim personalities into the photos. & Dogs EP artwork that can be used in game Photo Studio Sessions: Group Poses Made Easy Of course players want the ability to set up special poses for full body photography, especially group photos that could potentially be complicated gameplay as evidenced by using mods like the Pose Player. This needs to be an easy process for the average simmer. A rabbit hole photo studio visit for base game could be amazing for taking family photos, group shots, yearbook photos, prom photos, etc. without players having to go though the issue of having to pose sims. This can work in a similar vein to the Life & Death Lasting Legacy Family Portrait frame limited edition DLC, where the game uses a predetermined pose and slots player sims into the image automatically. But in this case players will have the ability to cycle through relevant poses and backgrounds to influence the look and feel of the final photos, and then select multiple photos under the chosen theme to be created and placed in a sim's inventory after a photo studio visit. & Death's Lasting Legacy Family Portrait introduced a system of posed group photos. For example a player can direct their sim via phone or computer to "Book A Photo Studio Session" then choose from options like "Headshots", "Couples Photos with Partner", "Engagement Photos with Partner", "Wedding Photoshoot with Partner", "Pregnancy Photoshoot with Partner", "Infant Photoshoot", "Toddler Photoshoot", "Take Family Portrait with...", "Yearbook Photo", "Take Prom Photos with...", "Costume Photoshoot", "Holiday Photoshoot", "Besties Photoshoot", "Pet Photoshoot" etc. When an option is chosen, it narrows down the available poses players can see and then they can choose which photos they'd like and the available backgrounds that can be applied to the image. Backgrounds can be based on existing worlds and activities, e.g. the Family Portrait poses will populate based on the ages and number of included sims and players and the backgrounds can include traditional backdrop colours or images from around Willow Creek, Oasis Springs. Gardens, Beaches, etc. After a player has chosen all the images they want, the sim who booked the visit can return from the rabbit hole with those images in their inventory. There could also be an update to the photo booth from High School Years so that full body portraits of the sim alone, with their date, and with friend options can be done at prom with special background options similar to the themes you can set with the pack items e.g. a starry night background. The pose pack in the image is from Katverse and are just a few of the kind of full bodied image prom photo possibilities. If this rabbit hole photography system is possible, then there can be the retroactive addition of relevant photos being given as rewards for completing events. For example getting gold or silver on a Lovestruck date gives a cute date portrait when that event is over. The same can be done for other in game events such as weddings, family reunions, black & white parties, etc. If you win one of the prom court positions like Class Clown or Prom Queen, you should also win a special full bodied photo of you in the hat and outfit you wore at the end of the prom event to your inventory. As previously mentioned, with the amount of Pose Pack CC currently available on Curseforge, this could also be a great community collaboration project which would also result in this all happening faster and in the great variety needed to make current gameplay more dynamic while also injecting more sim personalities and visual relationship markers into the photos. New Ways and Items to Display Photos We also need a ton of blank photo frames in different styles, colours, sizes, and collages so that Sims can display photos of not just sims, but nature/gameplay shots in various ways all through their houses. Currently we have the option to put plain wooden frames on photos, but there should be more style specific options that have ornate frames, modern styles, cottagecore styles, etc. There's also a distinct lack of frames that house the Medium photo size so this also needs some frame options. Woodworking can get a small update so that you can make different types of hanging and standing photo frames in base game. Future clutter items in packs can include items where players slot in photos taken in game. For example there's a photo collage item with lights in Parenthood and it would be great if you can slot in images of your sims with their friends instead of having random sims on there. The same with the mirror in Lovestruck that has photos on it, would be great if those were photo slots instead. There can also be the ability to customize a standing photo board display (like the decorated one from My Wedding Stories) using photos made in the previously outlined Photo Studio visit. It can have a large photo slot so that they can be customized with large sized photos. These can be used in events like weddings, engagement parties, birthday parties, and more. Each style can come in a horizontal and vertical to cater for for the 2 photo orientation options. Another idea is creating a variety of photo album type book items in build mode which have an in game inventory for storing photos only. Sims in game could also pick it up and browse through these albums (using the current reading a book animation) and then get special buffs for going through it. Special types of photo albums produce relevant buffs such as a "Wedding Album" that makes them happy, flirty, or perhaps sad if their partner has passed away. Or a "Family Photo Album" that makes elders happy and maybe sometimes Adult sims tense that they're aging. Creator Collaboration Kit Idea with Ravasheen I think a kit collaboration with popular modder Ravasheen to bring some ideas from their mod Photographic Memory 2.0 into the main game is a worthwhile idea. Sims could make personalized calendars, canvases, gallery walls, mugs, etc. using a special printer and get special nostalgic buffs in game for viewing these items. This would appeal to not only simmers who want to put their sims on items, but those who would want to use in game photos to create customized items as part of their gameplay. For e.g. a Discover University student would be able to have a ton of personalized Foxbury items in their dorm using this kit. Or a photographer sim can display their shots in new ways around their home. Plus there can be cute specialized photo display frames for special occasions like baby photos, wedding photos, and more. It would essentially be the ability to do a personalized clutter kit, and based on the success of previous clutter kits, this one would be a winner too. I truly hope the sims team takes this into consideration for those of us who love taking photos of and reminiscing on our sims and their lives. This also gives many players beautiful images of their sims to share with the community as well as makes our sims a little more like us. I just posted this on the old forum, completely forgetting the new ones are here, lol. Thanks for reading!Slipper Rack with slippers
I would love to see a slipper rack filled with slippers for visitors and Sims to wear around the house. This is mostly done in Asian cultures. But I have done at my home. This is when a Sims comes home, she/or he would take off their shoes at the door and put on slippers before continuing inward of their home and it is the same with visitors coming to visit their friend's home by taking off their shoes and put on their slippers. The visitors can take home their own slippers or toss them in the trash. Probably more likely they will keep their slippers.
