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?
HEVEN & HELL expansion pack
The Sims 4: Heaven & Hell Expansion Pack Hear me out: I don’t know how to make suggestions, but if someone can get the attention of the Sims makers, it would be amazing. Concept Overview: The "Heaven & Hell" expansion pack introduces a new supernatural dimension for The Sims, where each Sim's afterlife is determined by their deeds in life. This journey begins after your Sim passes away, with a dramatic trial that determines if they ascend to Heaven or are condemned to Hell. Players can explore a new world filled with rewards, challenges, or eternal consequences. The Trial of the Grave: After a Sim dies, they must face the "Trial of the Grave," an interactive event that evaluates their actions and personality. The trial is presided over by celestial and infernal beings who weigh the choices the Sim made in life. Did they treat others kindly? Did they steal or cheat? Every action has consequences, and the trial can lead to three outcomes: eternal paradise in Heaven, punishment in Hell, or being stuck as a ghost. Players can influence the trial by selecting arguments in favor of or against the Sim. You could hide bad deeds or emphasize the good ones, adding a strategic layer to the judgment phase. The result isn't just based on a moral meter—it's complex and sometimes relies on luck. If ghosts fail to complete their tasks in time, they risk either being bound to the mortal world indefinitely, unable to interact with Heaven or Hell, or perishing entirely. These restless ghosts must rely on new opportunities or help from living Sims to get back on track and earn enough points to move on. Heaven: For Sims who led a virtuous life or passed their trial, Heaven awaits. Heaven is a peaceful world above the clouds, filled with lush gardens, golden palaces, and endless joy. Sims in Heaven can enjoy: Heavenly Rewards: Luxuries they were deprived of in life, like fulfilling relationships, rare luxuries, or even a dream home. Angelic Powers: Bless other Sims, grant positive moodlets, improve skills, or extend afterlife happiness. Gardens of Eternal Bliss: Explore gardens, harvest divine fruits, attend feasts, or play harp concerts. Heavenly Missions: Guide descendants, help others make good choices, or spread joy in Heaven. Heavenly Pets: Celestial pets like ethereal birds or angelic kittens. Heavenly Festival: Participate in "Cloud Bounce" parties, celestial banquets, or divine karaoke. Hell: For Sims who lived wickedly or failed their trial, Hell is their destination. Hell is an eerie underworld filled with fiery landscapes and mischievous spirits. Players who enjoy chaos can indulge in: Punishments & Torture: As Satan, decide punishments based on Sims' sins. Infernal Interactions: Form alliances, appease Satan, or attempt escape. Demonic Powers: Curse others, create chaos, or haunt the living. Escape Challenge: Undertake a nearly impossible challenge to escape. Hellish Pets: Mischievous pets like imps or fire-breathing dogs. Rebellion Week: Join with others to humorously rebel against Satan. Secret Words: Throughout the expansion, Sims may find "Secret Words" that unlock abilities or new areas. These words can temporarily allow a ghost to visit Heaven, grant immunity to a punishment, or unlock hidden areas. Heaven & Hell Cross-Interactions: Heavenly and Hellish Sims can interact across realms. Heavenly Sims can save lost souls in Hell, while Hellish Sims can sabotage Heaven. These interactions lead to dramatic stories of redemption or rivalry. New Traits, Aspirations, and Careers: Traits: Sims can have traits like "Virtuous," "Sinner," "Redeemer," or "Tempted." Aspirations: New aspirations like "Achieve Eternal Bliss" or "Rule the Underworld." Careers: "Celestial Guide" to help others in the afterlife or "Demonic Tempter" to sow chaos. Afterlife Customization: Customize Heaven or Hell to suit a Sim's personality—design gardens or chaotic underworlds. Living World Impact: Heavenly or Hellish Sims can influence the living by giving blessings or curses. Afterlife Parties: Sims can throw themed parties—Heavenly Sims can host celestial banquets, while Hellish Sims have infernal raves. In-Between World: If a ghost completes their tasks but has a balance of good and bad points, they enter an "In-Between World." This realm combines Heaven and Hell. In-Between World Details: Environment: Contrasting landscapes reflecting the Sim's good or evil leanings. Powers and Abilities: Limited access to both heavenly and demonic powers. Dual Quests: Unique quests that can tip the balance towards Heaven or Hell. Alliances and Rivalries: Form alliances with angelic or demonic beings. Judgment Opportunities: Periodic judgments to determine the Sim's fate. Social Interactions: Inspire or frighten the living. Living World Impact: Influence the living with blessings or curses. The In-Between World adds complexity to the afterlife, giving Sims a chance to explore their duality and decide their eternal fate. Summary: The Sims 4: Heaven & Hell is about exploring morality, consequences, and the joys or torments of the afterlife. Players decide which Sims deserve eternal happiness, who faces eternal damnation, and how legacies live on.
Laundry Day needs some renew...
I've been in love with Laundry Day stuff pack for a long time. Laundry is actually a home activity I like to do and being able to do it in TS4 has been a dream come true. However, it has been 6 years since it came out and I noticed I've grown kinda bored over time. I noticed how simple the pack is and, sometimes, I've felt frustrated with the lacking of options in it, specially when it comes to the items that really make Laundry Day its thing. We have: Front loading (washing machine/dryer); A wash tub; Clothing hampers; A clothesline. With the rest of the pack, it's mostly construction options for furniture, doors and windows, mostly country styled, and other options such as laundry shelves and some ironing board; most of these, if not all of them, work as decorations and surfaces for random objects rather than actual functional objects for doing laundry, and that's what always makes me feel so frustrated and disappointed with this stuff pack. I know laundry is just a small portion of all that TS4 world has to offer, however, even if it is small, it shouldn't be so forgettable and bland. On one side I understand that the main objective of laundry is basically washing clothes, however, this pack becomes way too simple as: Wash clothes > Dry clothes > Wear clothes > and repeat, with nothing in between or no major feeling of actually having your clothes/garments well cared. I've thought of things that should come with an update, to give even more options than we have: Top loading washing machines and a classic stackable washer and dryer (I've grown with a top loading washing machine in my hometown); Clothesline varieties (just one clothesline option becomes too boring, specially for gaudier houses); An actual and functional ironing table (not mandatory in the laundry process, but if done can trigger positive moodlets for the sim); More options on products for laundry (even if it's just for decoration, I've been using the same laundry product in TS4 for 6 years); Moodlets for doing even deeper cleaning of your clothes (like, changing products can make a sim Inspired, ironing clothes can make a sim Confident. Or if a sim isclumsy, they have higher chances of burning clothes, which can make themEmbarrassed and, assuming you have Seasons Expansion Pack, putting clothes to dry and then a rain comes by can make a simTense). These are some of the ideas I have for an update that could make the Laundry Day Stuff Pack more interesting and appealing to the players of the game. I've been looking for CC for laundry in TS4 and, as much as the community manages to do everything it can to make the game more interesting, most of the time these mods don't actually fully work and some of them it's very very hard to find (almost impossible). So, I think the developers should take a look into making an update for this Stuff Pack. These are my ideas and opinions and I want to hear what the community of TS4 has to say. I thank everyone for the attention and, hopefully, we can make this message get to the developers of the game and make it come true. Thank you all so much!
