New Pack Idea - Nobility
I’d love to suggest a new expansion pack centered around monarchy, nobility, and aristocratic life — think Versailles, The Great, Marie Antoinette, and Bridgerton vibes all in one. A pack that brings elegance, hierarchy, and scandal to The Sims. Pack Name Ideas: Sims 4: Royal Court Sims 4: Nobles & Thrones Sims 4: Courtly Life Core Features: Royal Titles & Social Ranks: Let Sims inherit or earn titles like King/Queen, Duke/Duchess, Count/Countess, or Lady/Lord. Titles could unlock specific interactions, dress codes, and expectations. Courtly Life Gameplay: Royal balls, etiquette training, tea parties, scandals, arranged marriages, and political alliances — with consequences depending on choices and behavior. Lineage & Succession: Family legacy matters! Introduce mechanics for heirs, coronations, and dynastic family trees. Court Intrigue: Add drama with betrayal, secret affairs, gossip systems, duels, and social strategy. New Aspirations/Traits: “Aspire to Rule,” “Schemer,” “Graceful,” or “Power-Hungry.” Traits that impact how Sims thrive (or fail) in noble society. Build/Buy & CAS Ideas: Architecture: Lavish palaces, sprawling gardens, gilded halls, ballrooms, servant quarters, ornate fountains. Fashion: Extravagant hairstyles, corsets, embroidered coats, delicate gloves, lace fans, tiaras, and royal robes — across eras (Tudor, Rococo, Victorian). Objects: Thrones, banquet tables, harpsichords, scrolls, crests, canopy beds, royal portraits, vanity tables. World Idea: A new historical-inspired world with a palace district, noble manors, and peasant villages. Maybe a European-style countryside with hidden catacombs, hunting grounds, and a town square for public events (or scandals 👀). Would love to hear what others would add to this!

I really like the idea of an add on that is solely based around dog grooming. I’m not sure how difficult that could be to make but here are some ideas. adding on to the cats and dogs pack: -able to start a dog grooming business -having different styles of dog grooms and what dog grooms suit each breed and being able to choose from the options ea displays. -being able to level up in dog grooming skill. -the sims using actions such as shaving and scissor cutting -doing it step by step such as.. 1.bath 2.blow dry 3.shaving/scissor cutting 4.spraying with a cologne of your choice. -having good or bad moodlets depending on if the sim got what they wanted out of the grooms and the smells of the colognes. (Maybe depending on their likes and dislikes?) -some dogs act up during their grooms and some don’t? (Potentially adding biting, moving around a lot etc.) Just an idea as it would be cool to be able to do something like this 😊
Native American / Indigenous pack
I would love to see a Native American with all the tribes like Spokane, Cherokee, Sioux from US including Alaska, Canada and even Mexico like the Aztecs and the Mayans. The one thing that I love about the Native American tribes that they don't waste what they hunt. They use everything. What would be in this pack: Teepees, Wigwams, Long Houses (Coastal like Salish, Haida, Tlingit) etc.. Clothing from Deer, Bear etc, hair style braids,, beaded jewelry or regular clothes etc. Animals: horses, dogs as well as bears. wolves and buffalo aka bison etc. Food: Buffalo, Deer meat (venison), Fish, Fry bread (yummy), fruits and veggies etc.. Fun stuff to do or visit: Pow wow, Tribal gathering, Drum circle, Dancing (Jingle,. Fancy Shawls etc.) for the women, Tiny Tots dance for the kids etc... For more info; Pow Wow Dance Style I think this will be a fun learning experience for everyone Non-Indian and alike. Feel free to add to the list.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. ~ HaleyNew idea for sims4 or sims in general
Idk if they'll see this but here goes. It would be really nice if sims4 would be able to allow simmers to buy things from packs, etc. individually. It's just my opinion but I majority of the time just build and some of the items that come with buying the full packs I don't even use so I'm not even getting my money's worth. It would be nice to just be able to buy what we actually want from those packs. 2. It would be nice to have textured wall papers, sculpted wall papers or something. 3. Even though I know we can make a square box and knock out one wall to put shelves in to make our own built ins. It would be nice to have pre made built ins of different shapes and sizes so that we don't have that open space at the top or bottom of them. 4. Would be nice if there were some more animals even if they weren't animated like the cats and dogs. It would be nice to build an aquarium or a zoo or a museum but the animals are so limited. 5. It'd be nice to get spiral stairs, but I'll take a odds and ends like pack. Throw some modern ceiling shower heads in there, a couple of 1 by two square or 6square couches (idk if that's making since so just bigger couches, ones sims would kinda be the length of a pool lounge) that also have the options to have different pieces like the ones from home decor. Throw some California king and/or bigger beds. More pillows, maybe some throw blankets. Maybe let it come with another update to add more swatches so we can actually match stuff to stuff. Speaking of which throw the other ends to stuff or matches to stuff we already have in the pack too. 5. It would be nice to have pre made water features like flat fountains the fit in the builds like the big hot spring tub. So that we can place water features throughout our builds without the room below it being disturbed. Also a wallpaper and floor pack with just some more fun and creative wall-ing and flooring stuff. That's all I could think of at the moment but I hope some of these may spark some interest for future content.
Desired Game Additions
I know there is a thread about this somewhere but gave up searching. This is by no means an exhaustive list as I could go on for hours but my top asks Sims Team are as follows: Height slider in CAS. Self explanatory. The game is over 20 years old and we still don't have this! Color wheel and ability to upload swatches. I want to choose what shade of red I have on my couch/curtains. Speaking of curtains will you please make curtains to fit the windows you add to each pack...make it part of the sets. Functioning Toasters, Blenders, Air Fryers. Under counter microwaves. Please also include wall and over stove microwaves too. Wall ovens. Larger stoves/ovens 1 1/2- 2 tiles. See picture. Also the exhaust fans need to fit the stoves and a better variety of those. Example in pictures. In counter garbage/recycle receptacles . Vehicles. Garage doors. Functioning. Can we put multiple heights on adjoining sections of a home please. IE split level homes. Attached garages. Double sinks. King size beds. Ability to turn one tile furniture into larger for example a chair to couch or a single tile table to double wide and four long. The ability to position mirrors at any height on walls. Make plants and clutter smaller tiles to fit better on shelves, or on floor plan. Ability to add throws and more pillows to chairs and couches and beds. Porch swings. Keurig type coffee maker. Design tool to allow us to create or upload designs for tattoos, art, wallpaper etc. Wall design sections....maybe I want a backsplash but the rest of the wall something else. Or the wainscotting to be 3/4 of the wall not half. I recommend we would be able divide in sections to our chosen size. More customizing capability. Such as Create a World. Please give us this! Not having to use custom content and mods to obtain these items.
