Ideas for The Sims 5 (If There Will Be A Sims 5):
AGE PROGRESSION:
Infant: 0-6 months
Toddler: 1-3
Child: 4-7
Tween: 8-11
Young Teen: 13-15
Teen:16-19
Young Adult: 23-30
Adult: 35-50
Senior: 65-75
Elder: 80+I know this seems like A LOT, but if you play with your sims from infancy to elder in game, this would be a slow progression over time. (You can speed this progression up with birthdays like normal.) In CAS there would be a drop down menu for each age and you can choose from there. This way the ages won’t take up space like the menu we have now.
MORE PERSONALITY OPTIONS:
This is a throwback to Sims 2. Sims should have turn ons and turn offs along with their sign. Traits will still be a thing, but I feel like these additional features will add more depth to sims.
MORE CLOTHING OPTIONS:
Throwback to sims 3 with the color wheel and I know it can be done because there’s a color wheel in Cats & Dogs.
HAIR:
More hair colors. Hair color is very diverse and I feel like we could use more options without CC creators having to make them. More browns, more gingers (that are natural), more blondes (that are natural), more grays and more colorful hair options!
TEETH:
More natural tooth options. I current base game teeth are……… unfortunate. Like damn I want natural looking crooked teeth, crooked teeth with braces (like who the hell has perfect teeth with braces on unless you’re ready to get them taken off?)
HATS:
More normal looking hats that people would actually wear please??????
LESS RANDOM CLOTHING ON TOWNIES:
You know those sims. Those sims that are walking around lookin like they just came from the circus. I feel like clothing should be randomized based on colors and materials so there’s less of a chance of sims looking crazy.
LOT EDITING:
I would really love terrain paints again. It really makes the lot look like it’s part of the world instead of just…. flat and boring. I also feel like there should be a cheat or an option to paint more grid?? Like, of course this is just a concept, but imagine being able to add more grid to lots????? Like holy shit??? Or AT LEAST having a preset plain world to work with and add your own plots or something.
PERSONAL ONLINE SERVERS:
How cool would it be to be able to play with your friends and build your own neighborhood and interact with them exactly how your sims interact with other sims? Like lets say the option is to “hug” a friend, your friend would get an accept or decline option on their screen for the hug. Lots could be claimed so others couldn’t build on your lot and the only way for others to build on it would be to allow that person to edit or interact with the lot.
HEIGHT DIFFERENCES (THAT WORK!!!):
So I use the height mod, but some interactions do not work right (like kissing for example). I would like to edit height without a mod and have the interactions actually work. (Like the coding recognizes that height difference.)
MORE CAKE:
This is self explanatory but if it’s not, I WANT MORE CAKES. I WANT DIFFERENT SHAPES OF CAKES AND MULTIPLE TIER CAKES. I WANT BIG CAKES, I WANT SMALL CAKES, I WANT AGE FRIENDLY CAKES. COLORFUL CAKES. CAKES.
If you guys have any other ideas that I haven’t listed here then please add them in the comments. I also would like to hear your feedback about these ideas!
Gender:
Sims 4 is already doing good, they got it so there’s some custom gender options. But there should be more! List of things that would work great without getting wayyyyy involved like real real life
Sex: Male, Female, Intersex
Pronouns: He/Him, She/Her, They/Them
Physical Expression: Masculine, Feminine, Androgynous
Also let children have the custom gender option! People realize these things early on sometimes.
Let us edit premade sims too, maybe I decided I want to change something key about a character!
Hair pt 2:
More hairstyles without expansions. More styles from more parts of the world, more simulated textures
Longer hair options! Currently “long” hair is to the shoulder blades or about that region. Gimme hair that goes to the Sim’s ass and beyond! People got long hair yo
Traits/Personality Options:
Give us more traits to choose from, and more slots to have traits. People have more than 3 traits about them! Give us at l e a s t 5 or 6 traits. Flamboyant, quiet, anxious, hyperactive, apathetic, empathetic, nihilistic. Gimme stronger and detailed traits to my Sims.
Neurodivergent and disabled:
Gimme blind sims, mute sims, deaf sims, sims missing limbs, adhd, psychopathic, and more! And make sure these aren’t presented in a negative light. Help bring understanding to these things. Make more skills, like sign language and Braille.
And finally!
An in game option to send suggestions to the creators that is also easy to find.
These are really good ideas too! Thanks for adding them!
