3:00 I've literally been saying this for years now. The Sims 4 doesn't work because nobody at MaxisEA can code. I don't care and nobody else would care if Sims 4 lasted "forever" if the game functioned. They literally need to re-write the entire code base. The next couple of years they need to be fixing the code of the game. It can be done. it would essentially be making the Sims 5 but you get to keep all of your expansion packs. Take for example Minecraft Java versus Minecraft Bedrock. Nobody complains that there isn't Minecraft 2.
I personally wonder if it's even possible. They have so many DLCs that all alter pretty fundamental game mechanics (like lot types, social interactions) that it's inevitable to become a jumbled mess. This game is a perfect example of why you don't put mechanic overhauls behind optional DLC (and multiple, different overhauls behind different DLCs at that).
It's a daunting task. I remember for years they were saying they wanted to rewrite APB. But there's so much going on, that even if it weren't bad code, it would still take a lot of effort and the rewrite never happened. I think it can be done, but it's not worth doing. Start over again.
We need a Sims 2 Freetime / Open for Business / Sims 3 Ambitions style pack that adds in new hobbies and playable careers and sellable crafts. I would also like to see NEW playground equipment, pool tables, trainsets, burglars/playable criminal career overhaul.
Yeah which sucks. You should be able to use floor tiles to colour the stair case so they can match the floor. Knowing EA they would give us fixed carpeted stairs that don't match the carpets they do have.
I can't believe I've never actually thought about this, I've literally only lived in one house that didn't have carpeted stairs but I never noticed the absence of it in the game
They should make an expansion pack that's about "going up", which includes round staircases, actually useable elevators, wheelchairs for sims (can't use stairs), lot challenge "wheelchair accessible" that forbids stairs and platforms and enforces some accessible furniture (bathrooms!) and doors, an eco-living style world where you work towards making the neighborhood 100% accessible, items that fit under the roof and are useable for building attics, gives roofs underside swatches, raises the floor limit to enable us to build high-risers, gives us a career as a skyscraper window cleaner (50% falling to death chance), and lets sims buy and fly an airplane (because they'll do that before they'll touch cars)
I wouldn’t mind the car thing bc that’s essentially sorta how they worked in the sims 2. You would just drive off the lot and you couldn’t watch them drive like the sims 3. They could def do that in the sims 4 they’re just lazy
I want 2 base game updates since its been TEN years (A DECADE) of the sims 4. I want an overhaul of new objects and items (beds, activities, kitchen, living room, bathroom, plants, etc). Along with a color update later in the year for older items among many categories not just windows and curtains.
The wallpaper selection is just as devastating as the carpet selection, if not more. There are tons of amazing wallpaper prints out there and the sims has maybe ~3 nice ones.
I was thinking the other day that I would really want a pack that it had different games your sims could actually play in them like a machine claw that your sim can earn a different plushie every now and then. An actual arcade room with all kinds of different games to choose from. I get that we have one with Get Together pack but I just think a single arcade machine it's not enough to fill an entire arcade lot inspired by the 80's or something like that for child, teens and young adults to enjoy.
I still believe The Sims 4 can include cars. They could create a compromise between The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 by having the car animations from The Sims 2 (excluding the driveway feature). When Sims get into a car, they could either teleport to the nearest road and drive away or enter the car with animations and transition to a loading screen.
Zombies can be an outcome of the wishing well when you wish for life again. And they can also be part of the paranormal pack as an interaction with the table or crystal ball
I agree so much with a lot of the things. Its basic things we need. we dont need more bars or wood floor. A thing a re-skin of the playgrounds ships. And I dont just mean new colours, though that be nice. I mean a completely new design using of them. Its been ten years and we still only have the base game ones. I said the same thing about the woodworking table. which finally have got a second version with a kit. Which was about time. We have seven swings and craft tabels.
I would really like to see spiral stairs those would make building tiny houses so much better. I love the idea of being able to build a house on a hillside and taking advantage of the terrain around it.
We should have a basic diving board with a few different heights in the base game, so we aren't forced to use that huge rock wall that doesn't go with most aesthetics. Like it's so fucking simple to add a diving board.
They should make the individual neighborhoods into open neighborhoods. At least the neighborhoods would feel more alive. You could seamlessly walk from the gym to the Cafe while your kids are at the library
My Sims4 wish list is Bug Fixes ! There are over 100 outstanding Major bugs to fix. New carpets... That should be from a few SDX drops. A few new swatches for the three existing ones, and a few more styles. Spiral stairs... If a moder can make it, why can't EA do it ? We need diagonal stairs, AND stairs that follows curved walls. Sims should be able to WALK under a house built on stilts. We should be able to place stuff under such a house. If the walls of a basement reach above ground, or the ground dips and expose the wall, we should be able to put windows there, and even doors if the ground goes low enough. Half basement EXIST ! Doors and windows DESPERATELY need independent inside and outside swatches. Make the debug cars and trucks NOT debug items and make them woohoo spots. Have a new trait : «Car Baby» Role playing game should be added to regular rectangular tables. Almost nobody ever do role play at a square table. Zombies and skeletons could be a side effect of a botched dedeathtify spell... Or a bad plea for the life of a dead Sim. Or the result of a bad result at a wishing well...
The reason is because level transitions require routing and animation work. It’s tedious and annoying. And it’s the kind of thing you’re likely to get complaints about one way or another. From the players if it’s locked behind a pack, from your PM if it’s not since no one is paying for it.
I'd just like to add that most houses in mountainous regions near me have a walk out basement on the foundation level. I agree, it would be cool to have a lot where the slope was tilted naturally. In the Sims 3 we could just place lots wherever mostly, so this was possible. But with TS4's limited lots system, I doubt it's going to happen. It would require a skilled builder to use it, and EA is aiming for that Toddler age group.
my wishlist is that they start over, like make a better sims 4 that isnt built on broken ass code and combine all these packs and kits like they were in pervious games. i just want generations, i dont want generations a-z each purchased separately, im not a rich ea game changer who gets stuff for free, im a customer who thinks your product is a reflection of our relationship , aka shitty
The one things Sims 4 should have done at the get-go was make driveable cars for the sims! Sims 2 and Sims 3 had them, but not sims 4. I've gotten used to it tbh, but It would have been nice to have cars. I always loved buying cars for my sims.
I want burglars and burglar alarms, I want random extremely rare events to be added to the game. As you mentioned zombies, would be fun even if it's something temporary, I want them to make it so if your child gets taken away by social services they still exist in the world and can be adopted by another family
I had motivation to play for several months in 2021 but then never again. I can’t capture that same excitement. It’s just so clunky to me, how you kinda have to do everything on your own imagination, you don’t really get many popups or anything happening unless you actively think to do something. If you kinda get what I mean. I have all the DLC’s 🏴☠️ but I’m not visiting the worlds or doing anything with some of them because it’s like well give me more of a reason to, invite me into it, HELP ME create a storyline. Plus it’s like I can do something once to experience it but then I don’t really wanna do it again because nothing new will happen. Can’t comment too much on bugs, literally just because I don’t interact much outside of the base game and a few of the packs 😭 My biggest bug was the fact that my laptop at the time couldn’t handle the large dog models in CAS. It would immediately crash. The rest of the game ran okay though, like it was fully playable on like low-medium settings. Got a proper PC now anyways but yea.
I would love to see something like DnD; it could work similarly to that Star Wars pack. Imagine a table that sends you to CAS, where you could turn your Sims into fantasy characters. Then you’d be transported to a magical world where you’d fight monsters with a sword, literally like in the Star Wars or Get Famous packs. They could just rework the Batuu world into a medieval setting. But that’s just ambitious for EA. I’d also love to see more drama, like in the earlier Sims games. The Sims 4 is just too plain and boring, in my opinion. Maybe it’s because I don’t read the popups, but I’m playing a game, if I wanted to read, I’d buy a book. EA should revisit their old games to understand why we fell in love with The Sims in the first place. Oh, and I’d love to see something like The Urbz! I never played it myself, but I’ve watched a few videos of people playing it, and it looks so fun.
i would forgive that fact of a colour wheel if they at least gave us a tool where we can import our own textures. like i have a home design app that lets you import your own photos so you can do what you want with it like give us that and you dont have to give me a colour wheel if i had to pick instead of getting both (id want both)
Ive been watching your videos since this morning. I am traumatized 😂😂😂😂😂 and i think the best content is when you criticize the sims 4 bullshits and laugh at the same time😅
More hair colours like dark purple, light blue, light pink, light green. There's like 4 different types of brown hair so boring but no dark purple! And everything you said in the above video. Also I would love there to be a car mechanic career and cars in general of course.
One downside of Sims 4 ever is it's going to eventually take up so much hard drive space with lackluster packs, eventually people are going to have to quit downloading them.
Like you said, everything you’ve asked for has been made by modders. So EA has no excuse other than they seem to have highly unqualified developers who don’t know how to do any of this.
In terms of occults, I miss the genie! The wishes cool, but I loved playing as one because you could temporarily add random sims to your household and ruin their lives. It was great
Cars like we had in the Sims 2 Live Career in a Kindergarten Small Teddybears children can play with and play teatime Toykitchen More for elders like let them live in a pension, Honeymoon I want my Sims to be able to have their own bank account and not have to share it all with the whole household Unrealistic: better AI 😂
One thing I'd like to see is when a Sim asks you out and then dumps you, the Friendship and Romance levels should drop a lot. Another thing would be harder, but since the logo of an elder sim is a cane, then there should be canes to buy. They would help keep the energy levels up, which should drop quicker if you're older. Maybe add a cast if you slip and fall a lot on the slopes. They would last about 3 days.
I have the biggest gripe with 2 things - color swatches never matching is one. They should really be having at least a set of neutrals they follow in ALL items that match throughout ALL PACKS. Why is one black different from another? Why are the wood swatches always mix matched ? Please if you’re going to limit the swatches - keep them consistent. Also I wish it was more customizable with the settings for some of these features. The romantic satisfaction decay system is too much and ruins the challenge for people. I wish it was more control over stuff like that in these systems they create
9:51 adeepindigo has the SimNation Travel mod, it works very similarly to this except it adds a few more features like getting a driver's license and making travel reservations before going on vacations
I want a “my first playground” pack. Like it comes with a playground lot and new gameplay and interactions like “go down the slide” “pickup sand and throw it”
I want an option to reset a lot, building or room back to how it was. Personally I feel I could have use for it as it's such a struggle for my non-vizualizing brain to build anything from scratch. Sometimes I want to revert something I renovated back to how it first was, and do a new renovation project.
I want proper plant sims, perfume making that functions similarly to the jewelry, but you use gardening skills and crystal collectibles, I want a playable financial career, and some new fitness related aspirations, too.
The map idea is actually great. It really feels like teleporting to a different world when going to different places. Not that immersion matters, but it just makes the whole thing feel odd.
While discussing flooring and rugs, I think we do need new rugs maybe with the base game swatch colors Match the furniture there’s also some flooring like the puzzle tile should have different colors as well maybe some pastels black and white
I just want FIXES that they promised! Especially Corrupted Lots and endless loading. Also fix the commands disappearing all the time and you have to do it over and over for sims to actually do commands! Thank you for sharing
Yeah I'd love for a newer pack to utilize the terrain tools and do stuff like that, honestly the fact they didn't do anything with it on their san francisco inspired world was wild to me. If only there were famous buildings built into angles and slopes in san francisco. Damn. Guess there wasn't. Like have lots whose terrain isn't just flat, like you said. Make it so people can flatten it if they want to, but it's not going to look quite right, it's meant to be angled, and the buildings on it reflect that. (Also, alongside the carpets I'm BEGGING for some damn lino!! I need some more lino, there's like two and they both kinda suck)
I think we need more hobbies, live careers, fairies, zombies, mermaids and aliens refresh, pregnancy refresh, spirals and diagonal staircases placement. It would be nice to have a new destination world based on Egypt with mommies like the new occult. A pack like Into the future. Cars at least implemented with the possibility of woohoing inside of them and animations, the option of playing music or even sleep inside of them. Helicopters could be an option like in sims 2, in think even easier to implement than cars. A refresh for old base game careers to have side task like the ones that came with city living. It would be nice to get a new base game world too.
I´ve wanted spiral staircases forever, so please EA it can´t be that difficult. More bug fixes and basegame build mode updates. I want MATCHING gates for every fence. More whimsy and naughiness like in the Sims 1. NPC Robbers. Favourite foods and drinks that can be selected in CAS. More build mode items that can be build on the woodworking table. Woodworking, swimming as their own skill. Skating not just as a hidden skill. Bring baking into the basegame and put all the basegame cakes, cupcakes and biscuits in it. They can still keep the other recipes locked behind Get Together. I think singing and dancing could also be made basegame. There is sooo much more, but I leave it at that for now.
Sims 5 wishlist would be like… I want seasons, and aliens, and Cars, and jobs, and vampires, and all the things that we already have but in another game so I can continue to spend money on this game
I’d realistically like them to fix the bugs that do not allow us to play packs we already have. Sulani is an example. You can’t even fish there! The signs no longer work. I know they are aware of this issue. Why hasn’t it been fixed? This is just one example of many.
I want more refreshes. That was the best idea they had in a long time but since it's apparently not a license to print money they stopped after one very well done refresh.
I love how grounded and basic these are, and how many of them EA won't do. I agree with the destination worlds thing. I would buy the hell out of Batuu if it was playable and interacted with the rest of the game. There's no reason why these can't just be normal worlds. I'm not sure what simple solutions I would wishlist. I'd love if kids were actually playable and could do anything without modding the living hell out of the game, but that's not going to happen. Maybe High School years could get a refresh to include an elementary school lot type and functionality, but then that wouldn't make them money. I can't think of much else though.
At this point, I only want pack refreshes and bug fixes. So many live careers should have been in already existing packs. (but... I do think that a Get Old Together pack would be a nice idea, so elders finally get more interesting gameplay)
My dream is Horse Ranch 2.0. I love animals, mostly horses, in the game, but there are so few big lots for a nice big spread. They could just do a new world with more 64x64 lots. I'm not sure I want 'bigger' lots. That's a good size, I think. I want more for kids to do. That hasa been a really boring stage for me. I love hobbies, even cross stich and needlepoint. I would love to see more hobbies. The attraction system is so basic. I shoudl download Wonderful Whims again, I guess. Overall, a game that runs smoother and is less buggy.
i would like some stories with big challenges, like for exemple being a superhero trying to stop a mad scientist as carrer, or if not ,more surnatural stuff witch, robots , like you said zombies,greeks godsi don't know there is plenty of possibilities, could even make world where they totally isekai in a fantasy universe and where you have to after havig befriended / fight the right sims to beat a dragon together as final challenge or even with an xp fight ability system if they want to push it (i think this would sell quite wellr).* or else expand on what already exist and make all this rabbit holes some different skippable minigames (even if they are cheap)
Satch, the carpet situation is just like the sims team said about giving us 2 identical pet bets and nothing else: "There's only so many ways to design a pet bed!" This is a small indie company please understand, they have some very exciting content in the works, please look forward to it! I am legally obligated to clarify that this is sarcasm.
My wish list....I want to be able to have a screen to disable worlds and gameplay from packs (you know those features that never work) BUT keep my CAS and build buy from the pack
12:33 I think it would be nice if they updated get to work so you could own any community lot and make money from it, I know there's a mod for this but having it be in the game would be better since right now it's limited on what you can do with the lots. With the mod, it doesn't utilise the business panel and there aren't any business perks like with owning a retail store or restaurant 💀
my wishlist is open worlds or a sims 5, alternatively an entire rewrite of the code bc the game is only surviving off previously existing playerbase and status
Absolutely agree about it missing a lot of the fun and chaos of past games. Thing is.... I don't think the current main fanbase wants that? Look at the ridiculous reaction to the costumes and dancing in lovestruck. People were acting like it was disgusting and gross and horrible when it was the most sims thing a pack had done since werewolves pissing on the floor :/ I feel like the core audience they're courting are the ones who kind of don't care about gameplay of the game itself, but more using it as a base for player imposed challenges and taking pictures. (Which there is nothing wrong with, to be explicitly dang clear, the issue lies in the games not being balanced for different styles of gameplay not in a type of player!!)
My wishlist for TS4 in 2025:
1. It ends, they pull the plug, they end my suffering.
Amen to that
3:00 I've literally been saying this for years now. The Sims 4 doesn't work because nobody at MaxisEA can code. I don't care and nobody else would care if Sims 4 lasted "forever" if the game functioned. They literally need to re-write the entire code base. The next couple of years they need to be fixing the code of the game. It can be done. it would essentially be making the Sims 5 but you get to keep all of your expansion packs.

This game is a perfect example of why you don't put mechanic overhauls behind optional DLC (and multiple, different overhauls behind different DLCs at that).
It's a daunting task. I remember for years they were saying they wanted to rewrite APB. But there's so much going on, that even if it weren't bad code, it would still take a lot of effort and the rewrite never happened. I think it can be done, but it's not worth doing. Start over again.
Curtains in closed and open option AND like the lights the option to automaticly close at night and open at day!
Yes!!!!
We need a Sims 2 Freetime / Open for Business / Sims 3 Ambitions style pack that adds in new hobbies and playable careers and sellable crafts. I would also like to see NEW playground equipment, pool tables, trainsets, burglars/playable criminal career overhaul.
Yes keep those ideas coming❤
Football and skating or maybe even a dojo with karate with a Chinese world new festivals being dragon themed and lanterns
A live criminal career would be so fun!
I think we don't have spiral staircase yet is due to the fact that they are lazy to animate the getting up and down the stairs
Luckily there is great CC that adds them.
We don’t even have carpeted stairs 😤
Yeah which sucks. You should be able to use floor tiles to colour the stair case so they can match the floor. Knowing EA they would give us fixed carpeted stairs that don't match the carpets they do have.
I can't believe I've never actually thought about this, I've literally only lived in one house that didn't have carpeted stairs but I never noticed the absence of it in the game
They should make an expansion pack that's about "going up", which includes round staircases, actually useable elevators, wheelchairs for sims (can't use stairs), lot challenge "wheelchair accessible" that forbids stairs and platforms and enforces some accessible furniture (bathrooms!) and doors, an eco-living style world where you work towards making the neighborhood 100% accessible, items that fit under the roof and are useable for building attics, gives roofs underside swatches, raises the floor limit to enable us to build high-risers, gives us a career as a skyscraper window cleaner (50% falling to death chance), and lets sims buy and fly an airplane (because they'll do that before they'll touch cars)
Now this is amazing. I need a wheelchair sim!
You know EA would make wheelchairs locked behind a paywall though
@@melindaropp8622 “my first crippled sim!”
Honestly I’m just ready for something better than the sims 4
I wouldn’t mind the car thing bc that’s essentially sorta how they worked in the sims 2. You would just drive off the lot and you couldn’t watch them drive like the sims 3. They could def do that in the sims 4 they’re just lazy
Definitely
NO MORE BATTLE PASS EVENTS, THEYRE SO ANNOYING!!!!! 🙏🙏😭😭
Since the first ones failure, I've been refraining from participating in this current one and the reaper event
❤👆💯💯💯💯👆❤️
@LizzyTiger98 feels! It keeps breaking my game...😅😢😵💫😵
I want 2 base game updates since its been TEN years (A DECADE) of the sims 4. I want an overhaul of new objects and items (beds, activities, kitchen, living room, bathroom, plants, etc). Along with a color update later in the year for older items among many categories not just windows and curtains.
I need a large swatch update with more pastel and pretty colors. Oh and idk MATCHING SWATCHES
It's actually true and so ironic how the sims 4 is the "newest" and should be the most advanced sims game but it's the complete opposite
The wallpaper selection is just as devastating as the carpet selection, if not more. There are tons of amazing wallpaper prints out there and the sims has maybe ~3 nice ones.
That retro 80´s world at the mall is one that I definitely voted for. I was a teen back then and it would be so nostalgic to replay it =)
I was thinking the other day that I would really want a pack that it had different games your sims could actually play in them like a machine claw that your sim can earn a different plushie every now and then.

Multifunctional lots.
Optimization and integration.
I still believe The Sims 4 can include cars. They could create a compromise between The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 by having the car animations from The Sims 2 (excluding the driveway feature). When Sims get into a car, they could either teleport to the nearest road and drive away or enter the car with animations and transition to a loading screen.
I totally agree 👍 I don't know why they just didn't do it like the sims 2 straight from the start
Zombies can be an outcome of the wishing well when you wish for life again. And they can also be part of the paranormal pack as an interaction with the table or crystal ball
I agree so much with a lot of the things. Its basic things we need. we dont need more bars or wood floor.

Make the debug cars and trucks NOT debug items and make them woohoo spots. Have a new trait : «Car Baby»
Role playing game should be added to regular rectangular tables. Almost nobody ever do role play at a square table.
Zombies and skeletons could be a side effect of a botched dedeathtify spell... Or a bad plea for the life of a dead Sim. Or the result of a bad result at a wishing well...
Curved half walls! That’s all I want 😭😭
Aren't the curved walls buggy enough?😂
@ true 🤣
I see u like pain😂
I’m just ready for Inzoi atp, EA just doesn’t gaf clearly
You're coping that game is never going to be real let alone a Sims killer.
The sims 4 my first rug expansion pack
The reason is because level transitions require routing and animation work. It’s tedious and annoying. And it’s the kind of thing you’re likely to get complaints about one way or another. From the players if it’s locked behind a pack, from your PM if it’s not since no one is paying for it.
I'd just like to add that most houses in mountainous regions near me have a walk out basement on the foundation level. I agree, it would be cool to have a lot where the slope was tilted naturally.

lol for a second I thought you were wearing a Star Trek costume
I play on Xbox, i want zombies and plant sims to be a permanent occult
my wishlist is that they start over, like make a better sims 4 that isnt built on broken ass code and combine all these packs and kits like they were in pervious games. i just want generations, i dont want generations a-z each purchased separately, im not a rich ea game changer who gets stuff for free, im a customer who thinks your product is a reflection of our relationship , aka shitty
The one things Sims 4 should have done at the get-go was make driveable cars for the sims! Sims 2 and Sims 3 had them, but not sims 4.

fun fact most people don't know yesterday was satch"s birthday, anyways s
atch happy birthday 🎂💕
I'd like a damn pool table, and the ability to widen base game columns.
I have no hope in Sims 4 anymore. It’s too broken by now and I haven’t had motivation to play it in months.
I had motivation to play for several months in 2021 but then never again. I can’t capture that same excitement. It’s just so clunky to me, how you kinda have to do everything on your own imagination, you don’t really get many popups or anything happening unless you actively think to do something. If you kinda get what I mean. I have all the DLC’s 🏴☠️ but I’m not visiting the worlds or doing anything with some of them because it’s like well give me more of a reason to, invite me into it, HELP ME create a storyline.

I enjoyed the quest in Strangerville and would love to do more quests
FYI for anyone wanting some decent MM carpets littledica has some really nice ones
He’s got the best CC!
"Get Carpets Together" 😭😭😭😭
I'd love to if you make a vid of maybe your ideas for Old packs refresh bcs I think in community this topic is not debating loud enough
I would love to see something like DnD; it could work similarly to that Star Wars pack. Imagine a table that sends you to CAS, where you could turn your Sims into fantasy characters. Then you’d be transported to a magical world where you’d fight monsters with a sword, literally like in the Star Wars or Get Famous packs. They could just rework the Batuu world into a medieval setting. But that’s just ambitious for EA.
I’d also love to see more drama, like in the earlier Sims games. The Sims 4 is just too plain and boring, in my opinion. Maybe it’s because I don’t read the popups, but I’m playing a game, if I wanted to read, I’d buy a book. EA should revisit their old games to understand why we fell in love with The Sims in the first place.
Oh, and I’d love to see something like The Urbz! I never played it myself, but I’ve watched a few videos of people playing it, and it looks so fun.
i would forgive that fact of a colour wheel if they at least gave us a tool where we can import our own textures. like i have a home design app that lets you import your own photos so you can do what you want with it like give us that and you dont have to give me a colour wheel if i had to pick instead of getting both (id want both)
My pet theory is that they're all in a space station. How else ca you explain you can go from Mt. Komerebi to Sulani in moments?
Some kind of Color wheel for build or cas is my wish
This
They did it for the sims 3 but no sims 4?
"My first" was a good touch
Ive been watching your videos since this morning. I am traumatized 😂😂😂😂😂 and i think the best content is when you criticize the sims 4 bullshits and laugh at the same time😅
All that I wish for is for EA to come to their senses.
More hair colours like dark purple, light blue, light pink, light green. There's like 4 different types of brown hair so boring but no dark purple! And everything you said in the above video. Also I would love there to be a car mechanic career and cars in general of course.
Id like different decade packs. 60s, 70s, 80s decor. Would be cool
It is possible for Maxis to make spiral staircases since modders can. All that we the CC Creators and modders make they can do it better. Its a shame
I'm still waiting for EA to release My First Get to Stuff kit
One downside of Sims 4 ever is it's going to eventually take up so much hard drive space with lackluster packs, eventually people are going to have to quit downloading them.
Very informative Satch you make some great points
Like you said, everything you’ve asked for has been made by modders. So EA has no excuse other than they seem to have highly unqualified developers who don’t know how to do any of this.
In terms of occults, I miss the genie! The wishes cool, but I loved playing as one because you could temporarily add random sims to your household and ruin their lives. It was great
I just want a SHOPPING MALL. I want to open my own store in the mall and be able to hang out at one
I just want to build walls on half tiles.
YES; PLEASE!
Cars like we had in the Sims 2
Live Career in a Kindergarten
Small Teddybears children can play with and play teatime
Toykitchen
More for elders like let them live in a pension,
Honeymoon
I want my Sims to be able to have their own bank account and not have to share it all with the whole household
Unrealistic: better AI 😂
YESSSSSSS YOU GET IT. I WANT ALL PF THIS. especially that better ai. Sims in the sims 4 are fucking stupid
"If they want to stick with this pile of trash..." perfectly said.
One thing I'd like to see is when a Sim asks you out and then dumps you, the Friendship and Romance levels should drop a lot. Another thing would be harder, but since the logo of an elder sim is a cane, then there should be canes to buy. They would help keep the energy levels up, which should drop quicker if you're older. Maybe add a cast if you slip and fall a lot on the slopes. They would last about 3 days.
I have the biggest gripe with 2 things - color swatches never matching is one. They should really be having at least a set of neutrals they follow in ALL items that match throughout ALL PACKS. Why is one black different from another? Why are the wood swatches always mix matched ? Please if you’re going to limit the swatches - keep them consistent.
Also I wish it was more customizable with the settings for some of these features. The romantic satisfaction decay system is too much and ruins the challenge for people. I wish it was more control over stuff like that in these systems they create
9:51 adeepindigo has the SimNation Travel mod, it works very similarly to this except it adds a few more features like getting a driver's license and making travel reservations before going on vacations
Your map idea, YES! That would be brilliant
I want a “my first playground” pack. Like it comes with a playground lot and new gameplay and interactions like “go down the slide” “pickup sand and throw it”
I want an option to reset a lot, building or room back to how it was.
Personally I feel I could have use for it as it's such a struggle for my non-vizualizing brain to build anything from scratch. Sometimes I want to revert something I renovated back to how it first was, and do a new renovation project.
I want proper plant sims, perfume making that functions similarly to the jewelry, but you use gardening skills and crystal collectibles, I want a playable financial career, and some new fitness related aspirations, too.
The map idea is actually great. It really feels like teleporting to a different world when going to different places. Not that immersion matters, but it just makes the whole thing feel odd.
Omg yes! I loved building cliff houses in TS3 but I never do as all lots are flat
While discussing flooring and rugs, I think we do need new rugs maybe with the base game swatch colors Match the furniture there’s also some flooring like the puzzle tile should have different colors as well maybe some pastels black and white
Living for that orange timbs sweater! ❤❤❤
I just want FIXES that they promised! Especially Corrupted Lots and endless loading. Also fix the commands disappearing all the time and you have to do it over and over for sims to actually do commands! Thank you for sharing
Most important thing is Banks!!! personal account for Simoleons! The only mod around is the best one so far.
carpets aren't trendy enough 😅 people just want to rip them out anyway 😆
i have carpets in my apartment and i despise them with every fiber of my being.
What I want is a different character creation system. I'd like a starter skill bar instead of answering an awkward set of questions.
16:52 I would love that kind of map update.
Yeah I'd love for a newer pack to utilize the terrain tools and do stuff like that, honestly the fact they didn't do anything with it on their san francisco inspired world was wild to me. If only there were famous buildings built into angles and slopes in san francisco. Damn. Guess there wasn't. Like have lots whose terrain isn't just flat, like you said. Make it so people can flatten it if they want to, but it's not going to look quite right, it's meant to be angled, and the buildings on it reflect that. (Also, alongside the carpets I'm BEGGING for some damn lino!! I need some more lino, there's like two and they both kinda suck)
Yes I really appreciate you giving EA your ideas for free. Thank you for speaking for us all.
I think we need more hobbies, live careers, fairies, zombies, mermaids and aliens refresh, pregnancy refresh, spirals and diagonal staircases placement. It would be nice to have a new destination world based on Egypt with mommies like the new occult. A pack like Into the future. Cars at least implemented with the possibility of woohoing inside of them and animations, the option of playing music or even sleep inside of them. Helicopters could be an option like in sims 2, in think even easier to implement than cars. A refresh for old base game careers to have side task like the ones that came with city living. It would be nice to get a new base game world too.
I´ve wanted spiral staircases forever, so please EA it can´t be that difficult. More bug fixes and basegame build mode updates. I want MATCHING gates for every fence. More whimsy and naughiness like in the Sims 1. NPC Robbers. Favourite foods and drinks that can be selected in CAS. More build mode items that can be build on the woodworking table. Woodworking, swimming as their own skill. Skating not just as a hidden skill. Bring baking into the basegame and put all the basegame cakes, cupcakes and biscuits in it. They can still keep the other recipes locked behind Get Together. I think singing and dancing could also be made basegame. There is sooo much more, but I leave it at that for now.
Sims 5 wishlist would be like… I want seasons, and aliens, and Cars, and jobs, and vampires, and all the things that we already have but in another game so I can continue to spend money on this game
I’d realistically like them to fix the bugs that do not allow us to play packs we already have. Sulani is an example. You can’t even fish there! The signs no longer work. I know they are aware of this issue. Why hasn’t it been fixed? This is just one example of many.
I want more refreshes. That was the best idea they had in a long time but since it's apparently not a license to print money they stopped after one very well done refresh.
The names xD
I love how grounded and basic these are, and how many of them EA won't do. I agree with the destination worlds thing. I would buy the hell out of Batuu if it was playable and interacted with the rest of the game. There's no reason why these can't just be normal worlds.
I'm not sure what simple solutions I would wishlist. I'd love if kids were actually playable and could do anything without modding the living hell out of the game, but that's not going to happen. Maybe High School years could get a refresh to include an elementary school lot type and functionality, but then that wouldn't make them money. I can't think of much else though.
whats on ur head bbygirl im soo distracted by it 😭😭. also the ideas titles are hilarious
Omg, YOU need to work for EA! You have so many great requests! I'm on board for all of them!!! Come on, EA! Get it together!
At this point, I only want pack refreshes and bug fixes. So many live careers should have been in already existing packs. (but... I do think that a Get Old Together pack would be a nice idea, so elders finally get more interesting gameplay)
My dream is Horse Ranch 2.0. I love animals, mostly horses, in the game, but there are so few big lots for a nice big spread. They could just do a new world with more 64x64 lots. I'm not sure I want 'bigger' lots. That's a good size, I think. I want more for kids to do. That hasa been a really boring stage for me. I love hobbies, even cross stich and needlepoint. I would love to see more hobbies. The attraction system is so basic. I shoudl download Wonderful Whims again, I guess. Overall, a game that runs smoother and is less buggy.
i would like some stories with big challenges, like for exemple being a superhero trying to stop a mad scientist as carrer, or if not ,more surnatural stuff witch, robots , like you said zombies,greeks godsi don't know there is plenty of possibilities, could even make world where they totally isekai in a fantasy universe and where you have to after havig befriended / fight the right sims to beat a dragon together as final challenge or even with an xp fight ability system if they want to push it (i think this would sell quite wellr).*
or else expand on what already exist and make all this rabbit holes some different skippable minigames (even if they are cheap)
Satch, the carpet situation is just like the sims team said about giving us 2 identical pet bets and nothing else: "There's only so many ways to design a pet bed!" This is a small indie company please understand, they have some very exciting content in the works, please look forward to it!
I am legally obligated to clarify that this is sarcasm.
My wish list....I want to be able to have a screen to disable worlds and gameplay from packs (you know those features that never work) BUT keep my CAS and build buy from the pack
Me reading out loud "Leeve Living", Satch immediatly after : LIVE Living, not Leeve Living
This felt personal
12:33 I think it would be nice if they updated get to work so you could own any community lot and make money from it, I know there's a mod for this but having it be in the game would be better since right now it's limited on what you can do with the lots. With the mod, it doesn't utilise the business panel and there aren't any business perks like with owning a retail store or restaurant 💀
my wishlist is open worlds or a sims 5, alternatively an entire rewrite of the code bc the game is only surviving off previously existing playerbase and status
Idk if it’s realistic but I do hope we get bands and zombies would be really fun and I really miss genies 🧞♀️
The only pack that I am exited about are the crime and 80’s one
It does sound higly promising as well as giving us missing features
I only hope the freaking game works better next year. Oh thank you for the new game console. Plus a Sims arcade would be nice.🤔
Absolutely agree about it missing a lot of the fun and chaos of past games. Thing is.... I don't think the current main fanbase wants that? Look at the ridiculous reaction to the costumes and dancing in lovestruck. People were acting like it was disgusting and gross and horrible when it was the most sims thing a pack had done since werewolves pissing on the floor :/ I feel like the core audience they're courting are the ones who kind of don't care about gameplay of the game itself, but more using it as a base for player imposed challenges and taking pictures. (Which there is nothing wrong with, to be explicitly dang clear, the issue lies in the games not being balanced for different styles of gameplay not in a type of player!!)
