The Sims 4 needs to bring back those deep narratives in the premade families, as well as the ability to build deeper narratives in new family creations. One of my favorite worlds to play in the Sims 2 was Veronaville - particularly the Montys and the Caps. I think it would round out the Lifestyles and Sentiments feature that was recently added with Snowy Escape. I'd like to see the memory scrapbook feature come back. It might sound small, but I miss some of the Sims 2 features - granted this might just be nostalgia talking, since the Sims 2 era was really when I got into the franchise.
When I wasn't playing the Sims, I was watching YouTubers play The Sims - whether causing mass chaos, struggling to complete the 100-Baby Challenge (I think I tapped out at 65 babies) or building jaw-dropping properties. The Sims became such an escape for me in the early months of the coronavirus pandemic. All I'm saying is, the Sims is a life simulator, and part of life is death. I want to see a graveyard lot (it makes sense with Vampires there's precedent!) and the capacity to hold an actual funeral. Sure, there are countless ways that Sims can die, but though ghosts can hang around and bust up your appliances, when a sim dies there's very little pomp and circumstance. The last thing, which is more of a weird hope than an actual expectation: I'd like to see The Sims 4 provide more interactions around death. Plus it'll make it a lot easier for me to create weird Sim cults, but that's a story for another time. It never used to be something that would gel with my play style, but I think it's safe to say that farming (with chickens and goats!) will make a lot of players very happy - and make Rags to Riches challenges much more interesting. Clubs are great, but I don't always want these activities to be active, you know?Īs for a more substantial change (expansion pack, I'm looking at you) I think the rallying cry of players who want a farming pack will hit its apex this year - and I'll be contributing my voice to it. I want my baby ballet dancers to go to dance class, my tech lovers to go to chess groups and, even if we move away from skills themselves, I want more range for teen jobs. While we're on the topic of younger age groups, I'd love to see a return to the Sims 2 FreeTime style hobbies, where children and teens can grow their skills during after-school activities.
I want a Go to Work style active career where you run a daycare and have countless screaming toddlers all needing to learn how to use the potty. I want schools that cater to different skills. I want to schmooze headmasters to get my kids into private school again. The first thing my little Simmy heart craves is an overhaul of the education system.
Here at CNET, we've got some dedicated Sims 4 fans who are already excited at the thought of what might be coming. Already the community is convening on Reddit and social media to discuss what else might be on the horizon.
