These features are NEEDED for The Sims 4!

[@itsmeTroi]

I keep saying these ideas on live so I made a video where I break a few of them down!

[@lpg1170]

The house burning is really realistic, and the gameplay would be good to have them start a rags to riches due to a house fire... yeah i see it!!!

[@itsmeTroi]

Ooooooo seee I didn’t think that far ahead. I just wanted houses to burn lol 😂😂

[@lpg1170]

[@brokendoll896]

@lpg1170 yea! To add to your idea, hv options of ppl to call for assistance, ie Red Cross, Goodwill, family members, Salvation Army.

[@lpg1170]

@brokendoll896 I love it

[@kieshanablake7637]

I would really love a handyman career or entrepreneur opportunity. Like they can go around fixing and upgrading items. They can own a shop fixing and repairing, and also selling upgraded items

[@MusingsThoughts]

@@kieshanablake7637 There is a handyman career in For Rent

[@itsmeTroi]

Possible adjustments to the handyman that we can call!!

[@kieshanablake7637]

@@itsmeTroiyes! Like the option to upgrade your items. There’s so much potential

[@MysticEagle4]

i just want spiral stairs, cars, bands, martial art, ballerina/gymnast, pool table, burglers, be able to delete space above stairs without it glitching out, birds turtles etc as pets. playable pets without mods. more hair colors, true black and white like they promised.... on all clothes and items because none of the dang crap is the same color, and i shouldnt have to use color slidders in cas to get an item more black or white.

[@itsmeTroi]

Ooo martial arts!!!

[@kristinahplays]

I want something along the lines of sims 3 world adventures. Were you had missions and really got to travel and explore, uncover secret doors and tombs.

[@itsmeTroi]

I think more destination worlds like jungle adventure are needed

[@kristinahplays]

❤ Every day things like making sure you have your trash out before the trash collector comes once a week. Loading, washing & emptying the dishwasher. Not just running it after the sim puts one plate in it.

[@sabueso344]

having individual bank accounts as well as savings and like CD accounts...a whole new financial system really. like SNB but actually part of the game.

[@SimplyTonya]

I would love to see houses/buildings age and you can have the option to turn it on and off in the gameplay settings for each save file. That would be so amazing! You’re walking and I’m right here with you gworly!!!

[@itsmeTroi]

Seeee you get it!!!!

[@daiyzanth]

One thing I would love to have in game is the ability to have our sims be different heights like in real life. I know there are mods for height sliders, (I've used one previously) but they can make some animations like hugging, kissing etc look off. I would love to have it built into the game so those animations would be smooth and look good. Also having our sims biological children's heights be determined by genetics. Highly doubt we will ever see that, but I personally would love it. Especially making our teen sims not just be shorter as there is a mod for that also, but also having the sims be able to have different heights, sometimes our teens can even be taller than the parents. Would also be nice to allow the teens to look younger than a young adult, like having our teens actually look like teens instead of a carbon copy of the young adult life stage. That is my main wish, but I don't honestly see it being implemented in game sadly.

[@SimplyTonya]

I’m walking with you and you’re making sense! I love this video so many REALISTIC suggestions for the game to still function as it’s been just adding a little more depth

[@melanie_luv2_sew]

burning the house down and changes to stairs are my fave.

[@niccivancleave6004]

Fire burning the house down is a good one but my favorite is the ability to customize worlds. I do not understand why that is not an option. All good ideas! ❤❤

[@NicJohn]

To add on to the home running down idea, something ive wanted from day one, i wosh we could paint our houses. Can we get chipped paint? Broken windows we need to repair? There are mods for cracks and sirty walls, but why not have theese in game, and they accumulate like mold and dust in the game. Speaking of mold and dust in the world they should accumulate in homes that are not occupied like you said. It should just be based on the oassing of time. Also i want bills in my business. Because in real life i still need to pay water electricity and sometimes even trash and gas at any business i own even if im renting the space.

[@BlairEd2010]

I WANT CARS!!! LOL I want cars reintroduced and like elements that involve cars like street racing, grand prix professional F1 racing, Monster truck events, Car shows, teaching sims to drive, and more more more

[@NotThatMrsJones]

I love all the ideas you’ve shared so far! We definitely need more details and activities to explore overall. I had an expanded thought about the online shopping concept and the shopping tab on phones and computers. Imagine if the whole system got a revamp and was set up like an actual phone interface with apps for different stores. For example, Barnes & Noble for books, Lowe’s for building materials, Michael’s for crafting, Grubhub/Uber Eats for food, Fashion Nova for clothing, and so on. If that feels too complicated or cluttered, a simpler alternative could be an Amazon-like app with well-organized categories and properly tagged items. They could even introduce a Prime-like membership system (that costs your Sims money!) for perks like same-day or next-day shipping. Without the membership, your orders could take a few days to arrive in the mail-adding a touch of realism. Also, I absolutely love that the phone isn’t tied to the UI! It’s such a great feature for players doing Rags to Riches challenges or for those who just don’t want their Sims using a phone. Overall, I’d love more realism in the game. Sometimes it feels too easy or overly hand-holdy, and I thrive on CHAOS!

[@NicJohn]

We need pond updates too. I wish sims could swim in ponds, but I'll live without ever having that update if the at least update the ponds to where sims can go at least up to there waist in ponds. Can we also get more play in water options for pools and ponds? Can i splashing other sims please? With feet in ponds and with my hands in pools and ocen water. Can we bring back Marco Polo? Can we get pool slides?!.

[@r00salie78]

Change bedsheets, more skincare, wipe all the floors, bank account and no limits for how much money you own, was windows, change and wash curtains, perfume and growing hairs and hair salons, private schools, ability to be homeless, real sickness so you need to visit hospital and you could die because of it, midwifes, ultrasound of babies, schampoo, and sooo in shower to get clean, also for dishes and wash machine and you need to buy the at the store. More needed ingredients when cooking.

[@kellyicyprincess10]

Sims 4 definitely needs more lots in the worlds because i hate that most of the houses are non-playable. And why only 4 lots in some worlds it's so annoying

[@Iyahna-v8z]

I really want a car expansion pack where u can learn how to drive, buy a car, pay a car note and maybe a career as a car salesman. I also feel like it would balance out the aging up process if there was an additional growth stage between toddler and child sims, pretty much like how they created the infant growth stage between newborn and toddler

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

I would love if ‘exchange numbers’ actually restricked who had your number!! I think the problem with the phones is the phone being UI instead of a functional seperate object. Your sims are born with the phone they will always have. It is just ‘activated’ when they age up to children. So the most you can do is override the phone that everyone owns to the same thing.

[@itsmeTroi]

I keep forgetting kids have access to phones.

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

​@@itsmeTroiHaha, I don't because it's the only way they can sign up for after school activities, lol. And I've gotten really into giving my Sims kids activities that match their hobby path (I also use the hobby mod, I love it. Makes the activities we have that are basically for nothing worth doing).

[@flalalala2]

Lumpinou is working on a "Law and Order" mod. Sims can commit crime and there is real punishments added to the game.

[@flalalala2]

Also Adeepindigo has a delinquent teens mod.

[@kristinahplays]

I love lumpinou’s mods!

[@andreamyob9458]

I agree with multi use lots. I want to build a gym with a nightclub in the basement. It would be good to set the opening hours for each part of the venue so you can direct the sims on the lot to the right part. Adding the food stalls on any community lot should automatically generate a sim to run it. There are mods for this so it should be possible. I really want more instruments and the ability for your sims to play music together. That's a really expensive thing for EA to develop though because they have to create all those new songs and licence them etc, as well as the animations. I want working elevators and diagonal/spiral stairs in build mode as well as an overhaul of roofs to make them less glitchy and easier to customise. I think it's time we got a notification manager too. There are so many notifications for events and most of the time I don't care. There should be a panel in the game options with them listed. Tick or untick to get the notification for the events. They could overhaul Get to Work and add more gameplay, proper access to the world where the hospital etc are located but then make the retail system base game. That way they could add shops to worlds for new packs.

[@vickkieglover3652]

They need to add cars back along with the ability to use them

[@majanita2627]

I loved Sims 2, so I loved the fact that you could go to the grocery store and buy ingredients to make the meals. I also want cars again and open world. Open world in a sense that if my sim is visiting a lot that is in the same world, why do I have to get a loading screen. I also want to be able to purchase new worlds without having to get new expansion/game packs.

[@chaosity3658]

I want the game to just work with or without mods for 2025😂😂😂❤

[@Crimsin_Fury]

❤ Yes. Yes! YES to alllll!!!!!!!!! Great ideas and the numerical value dealio = YESSSSSS! That drives me crazy, too! TwistedMexi is working on a CAW mod which is good because I don't ever see it being added to the game.

I have been wanting the same thing for police station and hospital ! Somehow connecting ane fleshing those two locations way more

[@alwaysfabulous9965]

For Weathered houses, there is a mod Home Repair: Damaged Walls By Ilexsims. As an occult player i would LOVE an alien upgrade ❤

[@launadiva]

I am so with you on eveything @itsmeTroi! And you can start a fire in a sims house by lighting fireworks. You need to be careful not to catch your sim on fire though. I had a sim set the Caliente's house on fire and I had the "More Deadly Fire" mod in and burned their house up. This predated calling the fire department so the only sim who could put out the fire was Grimm. So I added him to the family and had him put out the fire. 😅

[@itsmeTroi]

Not you putting Grim to work 😂😂

[@NicJohn]

They way ive been asking for all the things you said about houses.

[@MarquitaR]

3:16 I have been asking for 2 years for a summer and winter Olympics pack... So I agree

[@NicJohn]

I want sims to be able to have different running speeds and the ability to race each other on foot and on bikes.

[@daytonapeanut]

I want improved children. To be more specific they're too well behaved. I want them to be more energetic and be able to run around and play chase games and jump on the furniture. I would also love them to be a little more ornary too. I know there are selections for them to annoy their siblings but it's not autonomous, so if someone could make it so those behaviors are,I would be forevor grateful. I would also love for toddlers to be a little bit more ornery too, like throwing more tantrums, fighting over toys, breaking stuff, and drawing on the walls. I want to put those play pens to use!

[@itsmeTroi]

I keep forgetting a lot of stuff isn’t autonomous. Would make things much better if they were or if they were able to learn and then do stuff in their own

[@lucysoleil2895]

I hope you had a good Christmas, it's weird because i actually had a burglar in the Sims in one of my saves which I was very surprised at because I know they are not in sims 4 yet but it deffo said a burglar, he began to come into the house so i played him and made him go home, that must be a big glitch but anyway I would love to have cars in the sims 4 and also a empty new world like Newcrest ♥

[@itsmeTroi]

If you have mods, there are a few mods that bring burglars

[@jumvnji7337]

I love your gshade! Please tell us which one it is.

[@msangelicarivera]

I think they need to make adjustments on some occults likes aliens, ghosts and mermaids an ability tree like they did for vampires, warlocks/witches and werewolves. I think they dropped the ball on the occult so many times. It would honestly make those packs worth buying if they had more content to some people.

[@itsmeTroi]

the ghosts recently got the ability tree. But vamps, spellcasters and mermaids def need an overhaul

[@tiawashington3339]

I’m not gonna lie this may sound unhinged. I want hurricane/tornados lol

[@tiawashington3339]

I want more food recipes & grocery’s store (almond milk, create your own butter, oat milk) , more pets like (rabbits, owls, w.e) , I want an African world. I agree with yours too Troi, great ideas ❤

[@LosAnafornia]

I want to be able to visit the hospital and jail lots whenever I want. Separate Bank accounts. CARS!

[@Hello_Jaime80]

I hope someone from EA watches this!

[@SweetPeaDBBMeMe]

Nice, Nice. Wait, what, "Happy go lucky." Naaaa, there is soo much occult and witchcraft in the game, you can "virtually" get as dark as you want. These are, however, really good suggestions for adding more gameplay. Lov it!!

[@itsmeTroi]

Even the occult to me is happy go lucky. 😂😂 there really aren’t a lot of ways to manipulate the world around you. Vampires,spellcasters , and mermaids need an overhaul IMO

[@LunaLeViege]

they're not gonna do that with stairs @11:40 because we can already build them with the tool they offer [ i do it in my mansions ]

[@itsmeTroi]

Is that using the curve walls or regular?

[@Anubusmami]

I never play with aliens. they just aren't exciting to me. i don't with vampires much either

[@marvalised]

I wish that we can make our sims King & Queen and their kids can be Prince if a boy and Princess if they have a girl I think it would go good with the kit we got the castle.🥰❤

[@NicJohn]

As for the phones i will be over the moon if they just gave us the ability to block sims from calling like you suggested, not have a working phone at all until you purchase and activate one, not have sims we didn't give iur number to call us with the rear chance of some sims getting our number from sims that do have our number, and the ability to change our number. Because the phone calles and text from sims my sim doesn't even know is a lot.
