Gameplay Suggestions for Future Sims Content (Zoo & Wildlife Systems)
Dear The Sims Team, I am writing to share some gameplay ideas that many Sims players, including many international fans, would truly love to see in future packs. I’ve removed features that already exist in The Sims 4 to keep this list focused, clean, and helpful. 1. A Fully Interactive Wildlife & Zoo Expansion (Major Request) One of the biggest dreams of many players is a real zoo or wildlife expansion pack. Something that goes beyond small pets and farm animals and introduces deep, system-based animal gameplay. Zoo / Wildlife Park Concept Build and manage your own zoo, wildlife park, or animal sanctuary Create enclosures for different species Hire staff: keepers, trainers, veterinarians, cleaners Educational tours, feeding times, interaction shows Ticket sales, visitor reactions, reputation system Animal enrichment items (climbing structures, ponds, heat lamps, plants) Different biome zones: savanna, rainforest, Arctic, desert Large Wildlife Animals Species that players would love to see: Elephants Tigers Lions Giraffes Zebras Hyenas Monkeys & apes Penguins Seals Crocodiles or large reptiles Each with unique behaviors, enrichment needs, and personalities. Wildlife Ranger Career A career connected to the zoo system: Rescue injured wildlife Rehabilitate animals Bottle-feed babies, transport animals, track behavior Release rehabilitated animals back into the wild Handle emergencies (escaped animals, sickness outbreaks, etc.) This would add storytelling, realism, challenge, and a completely fresh gameplay genre. 2. Exotic Pets & Bird Gameplay (Huge Fan Request) Players would absolutely love more complex small/exotic animals. Especially birds. Bird System Parrots, macaws, cockatoos, parakeets, toucans Birds that fly freely inside AND outside Shoulder-perching, bonding, teaching tricks Bird carriers so you can take them outdoors Birds escaping if doors aren’t locked or relationship is low Aviaries, outdoor bird enclosures, training stations Breeding rare species Unique personalities (timid, social, dramatic, mischievous) Reptiles & Exotics Snakes, chameleons, iguanas, turtles, hedgehogs, ferrets Custom terrariums with heat lamps, humidity systems Feeding behaviors and special interactions This would greatly expand storytelling potential for households that love animals. 3. Cars, Cruises & New Travel Experiences Since some traveling options already exist, here are NEW concepts not yet in the game: Drivable Cars Driving skill Car maintenance Road trips Parking garages and home driveways Cruise ship Vacation World Book cabins Ocean events On-ship restaurants, pools, activities Ports with mini-tours Storm events or sea adventures North Pole Kingdom / Arctic Pack Igloo sleeping Reindeer interactions Snow huts Ice fishing Northern lights activities 4. Fashion, Jewelry & Hairstyles To expand CAS even more: More cultural hairstyles Detailed braids and textured hair More jewelry: anklets, nose rings, detailed earrings Fashion-forward streetwear and luxury clothing Long nail designs and nail shapes 5. Improved Adult Life & Realism Children add teens already have school clubs and sports activities, so here are new ideas specifically for adults: Adult Activities & Systems Adult sports leagues (volleyball, soccer, boxing gyms) Book clubs, hobby groups, community events More dating features, compatibility systems, and relationship depth More impactful memories and long-term personality development Medical Career (Upgradeable Hospital System) Full hospital you can build and manage Nursing, surgery, delivery rooms, emergencies Specialist branches: pediatrics, trauma, oncology Medical research lab with experiments This adds realism and progression for players who enjoy life simulation depth. 6. More Global-Friendly Release Times Many European and international fans receive packs later than the announced date, often a full day later. A more synchronized global release time would help all players feel equally included and excited. Closing Thank you so much for all the creativity and hard work you put into The Sims. These ideas come from passion for the game, and I hope they can inspire future content that brings new depth and imagination into our storytelling.
friendship bracelet no longer breaks
I don't think they fixed the bug that's been going around for a while, where the friendship bracelet remains attached internally and gives you an awkward buff. The next pack is centered around children, so I don't want to buy it like this. I wish they'd at least remove the friendship bracelet exchange from the wish list.
