I’ve been missing burglars and meteor strikes. I once had a meteor strike my school and literally every teen and child died in the world. It was horrible, but the drama.
In TS2 I had a couple of raised from kids to adults and they were watching the clouds together and got absolutely wrecked by a falling satellite. I tried to quit without saving but it was too late. They were dead and it was scarring but also so good. It became lore that I used in that town afterwards. Made them a very lovely memorial garden. With the satellite of course.
Ooh yes but also... please let me shop online sometimes. I'm playing a rainbow legacy and it is getting a little tedious going to buy clothes every generation.....
Yesss !! And the fact that they had a limited amount of clothes. I loved matching different pants/tops that my sims owned to create different outfits. Whereas in TS3 and 4, I don't bother opening CAS to pick brand new stuff or make the effort to remember what they're supposed to own. I've been looking desperately for a limited clothing mod but it doesn't seem to exist :(
@@PixieBulb There's a mod for Sims 2, I can't remember the name, but it's for computers and you can online shop and online banking and a bunch of other stuff
i also wish there was a whim or emotion or something that's like "bored of my outfit" that encouraged you to change your sims outfit up every now and again. I get really bored when sims wear the same everyday outfit all the time but I don't really have a motive or reason to change it
The thing about the car picking you up for work, it was so satisfying to see the progression of the type of car that would show up. It would start off with a really rusty piece of junk, and at the end it would be somethin' real fancy, sometimes a limo
And cars in Sims1 and Sims2 (not Sims3 though) also drove (at least on they were on) like real cars. They'd go out of the garage, through the driveway, and onto the street, and if something (mostly sims) was in their way, they'd stop and honk at it. In Sims3 they "teleport" from their parking to the street, and just flow continously, passing directly over slower vehicles and sims on the road...
It’s also annoying when someone dies in the little neighborhood but not in the house… so the grave is just there. Forever. I wish graves would be automatically added to a graveyard or something except for the sims you’re playing (or maybe all the sims you’ve ever played with depends on settings)
While I wish it were in the game Chipped Sims makes a great graveyard mod that I really enjoy and has a few modules I love (including bringing back our fav Olive Spectre as a spellcaster)
Also you could send your sims on text adventures in the mausoleum where you get popups with y/n questions and they'll come out with moodlets and sometimes objects. Sims get wants to go to the graveyard and do stuff too.
LITERALLY when I enter an unplayed household house and the urns are just in front if the door first thing when you enter like can you literally not can they just fuck off to a graveyard pls
I really want memories back, specifically Sims 2 memories, it was just fun to look at all the stuff that happened in your Sims life. Also hobbies from Sims 2, how you had to try different activities to find out what was your Sims' favourite hobby Also an attraction system, it made it really easy to find a romantic interest
Yes!! I think it’s very interesting to have a few things about our Sims be "out of our control" so there’s stuff we as the player will find out along the way as we play
it was also very helpful coming back after a longer pause like I always forget what happened in their life. or even the Sims 2 editable Photoalbum. anything to chronicle the Sims lives
I’d actually really like to see the sims 2 style cutscenes to come back. Something were people could opt out, but they just made certain life events feel so much more impactful.
I love how everyone else wants to see the life achievements cutscenes (engagement, marriage, graduation, babies, etc.) and here I am just wishing for the woohoo cutscenes lmao I want that scandalous feeling I used to get as a kid playing the Sims 2 😂
for me what the sims 2 did really well for being a closed world is the apartments. I've been playing it a lot more these days and it really is giving the semi open world that I want for the sims 4. because with how that system works is that a whole house can become an apartment so if you have a huge lot you can have lots of sims on it and actually go to there houses, interact with them and see them leave the lot.all without a loading screen its great. what really get me imersed is when I see all the kids on the lot actually get on the same bus and not just have random kids that should be in school running around.
This makes me want to make a compound or commune with little houses on it and a communal garden, kitchen, and skill zone. Not sure if they're going to be hippies or a cult.
One of my favorite parts of the Sims 1-2 were the dark senses of humor. There was still a hint of that in the Sims 3, but Sims 4 is utterly clean. The Sims 4 is clean and perfect and safe, which isn't super fun. I like my drama and my dark humor and my caricatured sims. I want to dress them dingy. I miss the shrink from Sims 2 that appears to slap some sense back into you (or in the console Sims 2 games, he would reset your wants and fears so you can start anew). I miss the sad clown and social bunny.
I feel like each game in the franchise aimed for a younger and younger target audience. Although I love The Sims 3 one of my few complains about it is that it's a bit childish, but that's NOTHING compared to how squeaky clean and family friendly The Sims 4 is! Although I was quite surprised that TS4 has the "mess around" option for teens, and I was quite stoked about the "possessions" in StrangerVille because those are legit kinda creepy which is super uncharacteristic for TS4
This is why the Urbz is still my favorite. Fill your sims face with piercings and wrangle ferrets for money while you jam to the "original" version of that one Black Eyed Peas song. Felt like that was really the last of that naughty sims era
sims 2 wants and fears is the most important thing to me, absolutely desperate for it to come back. allows a wants based style of gameplay where the sim is in control of what they want, and we as the player have to help them fulfill *their* desires instead of our own
Same. Whims don’t feel the same and they’re useless because they’re not specific to a sim’s trait. I can have a sim who’s high maintenance and hates anything outdoorsy, but is obsessed with getting a bee box
I really want to see variation in relationships come back and more variety in types of relationships. For example, a sim is in love with their friend who doesn't feel the same. Also more variation in how easy a relationship/friendship is to build up (compatibility for friends and lovers affecting how strong the relationship is or how quickly it increases).
also relationship autonomy, weve gotten a little bit now cus of story progression, but it really bothers me how sims cant autonomously cheat or something. WHERE IS THE DRAMAAA????
@@cez_is_typing we shouldn't have to download mods to make the gameplay up to par, but with wickedwhims my sims gf was a HOE. She fucked Don Lothario in my sims dorm room 😔. But to add onto your point, sims your marrying autonomously leaving you at the alter, or a sim you invited stopping the wedding. We need so much more drama
I think this would be fun for teenagers. Like a teenage crush, that is temporary (like a phase) unless maintained, where the teen gets a crush on a random other teen, who in most cases doesn't reciprocate. In a system with wishes then a lot of wishes would be "kiss them" "make them boyfriend/girlfriend" or even crazier "marry them" (even though they're teens and can't marry)
another great thing about graveyards is that when non-household sims die in the town their grave is automatically moved to the graveyard, which stops random graves sitting around everyone's house and means you can easily collect the grave of someone you want in your house
Honestly Create-a-style wouldn’t be so stressful for the computer to load if they didn’t allow us to add leopard print to every single object in the game. Though I kind of enjoy that option.
@@lianna9492 I always expect TS3 to explode with errors 😬 if you decide to install the patch, prepare for faster spinning of things in buy mode, especially if you make game use 1000 TPS 😀 You can also use this patch to limit FPS, seems to work properly for me and I don't have to use FPS limiter anymore 🙂
the sims team got a little carried away with create-a-style… like… thanks for allowing us to customize basically anything, but i don’t think i need the option to have a dress or couch made out of bricks!
I miss TS3 pets!! They really nailed the animals in that one (especially horses) and actually had depth to them, like you could make a career from breeding horses or training them and they were actually useful to the open world format as transport!
one small thing about the Sims 3 that I liked was that you didn't have to place walls to make an attic, you could just place a roof & a ladder/stairs and your Sims could still go up there
A lot of people say “we can’t have open world!” due to the lag but as many have said we have better technology now, many games manage open world just fine if they’re made well. Along with that, they could just make it partially open world. Like the sims 4 has neighborhoods and in those neighborhoods they have sections. Sims 5 could have open worlds in each section of a neighborhood instead of the entire neighborhood like sims 3 did. That’s just my thoughts though.
Yup! I totally get why open world is hard on a lot of computers (its not like the sims 4 is easy on computers, the fans are never louder on my gaming PC than when playing the sims 4), but the fact that I have to go through a loading screen to go to my neighbor's house is insane.
I think there should be different options so people can choose depending on performance. I really really want a fully open world to be an option, but people can lower the settings to "section" or even all the way down to "lot" if needed. Just PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me send people to opposite sides of the map!!!!
@@KreeZafi I totally get where you’re coming from but see this is part of the issue. Games like RDR2 and HZD 1&2 (even TLOU2 which isn’t fully open world) aren’t made with low specs in mind. This is why they are able to have huge open word maps, complicated AI (especially HZD 1&2) and amazing graphics. If your computer/console can’t run RDR2 or GTA 5 , the devs say “oh well, get a better computer”. They don’t spend time and money trying to implement what you’re suggesting above. From a development standpoint point, it a bit of a waste of time (money). The thing is though, I don’t really think EA can do this with the current sims community (especially without looking like the bad guy) because much of their money and support comes from those with low spec computers, it wouldn’t t be right to simply throw those people away. But at the same time… the sims could be soooo much more (mechanically and visually) than it is right now if they focused on making a game without the limitation of low-end computer simmers.
Since everything else I want back has already been mentioned I want to add a minor detail: shopping from the Sims 2. I know in today's world you basically can buy everything everywhere it's kind of too much in the Sims 4. For example having all the clothes in the world, while being a nice opportunity, is kind of too much for me. I want my sims to go shopping for groceries, pc games, magazine, books and clothing. I want them to spend their money on stuff they need to survive because it still is a life simulation lol
yes and i wish the sims would ONLY wear the clothes you buy them! I get so sick of spending hours in cas perfecting a sims style but you see them walking around in a randomly generated outfit anyway
Omg YES I'd love to have to buy clothes to wear them so the sim can only wear the clothes they own!! Could also be interesting for certain gameplay purposes, like a rich sim might have tons of outfits whereas a poor sim has to wear their older sibling's clothes as they grow up
They can bring it back with Get to Work update and it would be so awesome :( we could've choose only 1 outfit option for each section in CAS and the rest of them needs to buy with money. They can give us new traits like "shopping addict, penny pincher, fashionista"
You can really see the passion the devs had in the older sims game... Really wished we could've seen that same passion in TS4.. Hopefully TS5 will be different.
Nah just more corporate greed. Less people, less time to provide, create, be creative, and QA. Why make GPs and Gameplay kits or Expansions, when the art department can drop a kit every 2 months
@@LG_Hakubi Less people? Didn't they say the team was far bigger than the one that worked on TS3? I think TS4 team just doesn't really care at all about The Sims franchise.
Perfect sims game for me would be: Quirkiness and attention to detail like in Sims 1 Lore and great premade sims like in Sims 2 World that feels alive like in Sims 3 Easy build mode like in Sims 4 + better optimisation so it runs smoothly
I'd love for the autonomy actions from sims 2 to be brought back.. If you have a neat sim it will go and wash the windows by itself. Or a slob sim won't push the tv all the way back against the wall once they've repaired it. Relaxing on a sofa, or the kids jumping on the sofa/bed. Doing fitness workouts to the stereo. Or the hobbies like ballet or baking.
I loved The Sims 1’s "recipes" system where they just list down the ingredients you need (which can sometimes be tricky to acquire so thats an added layer of challenge) and it’s up to you to try it out and see what you get from it (e.g. nectar making, spells, baking, charm-making etc.) It added so much intrigue to the game for me. TS4’s way of immediately describing the end product and sending you off to find what you need to make it gives me less incentive to actually do it
@@chaoskind9012 yup, Makin’ Magic came with recipe books (for cooking and magic alike) the Sims can browse and it will all start as "Unknown" spells/charms/etc. Only after you made it will the description of the thing you made appear in the book entry :)
LOVED the wants and fears in the Sims 2! also really want them to bring back the feature that said when sims were around another sim they found attractive. I’d love sims to have a ‘type’, it would give them so much more character
Yeah, we need an attraction system. Turn ons and turn offs at the very least, but I liked how important it was that your zodiac signs were compatible in TS2.
The Open world is just a must-have for me. I enjoy sending my teen Sims to the graveyard while the mom is getting a massage and the dad is going fishing and staying there for the night in a tent. There is soo much life in the open world - the cafés, the view when your Sims take a walk up some hill, controlling your Sims all at once while them doing different activities and meeting different friends. Whenever I start the Sims 4 it just gets boring so quickly. Even Sims 2 is more entertaining because there is way more drama and I can definitely look over the fact that it’s not open world cause it’s from 2004 - but Sims 4 sure doesn’t do it for me anymore. Oh, and the fact that neighborhoods are not ‘closed up’ like in Sims 3 - I hate having Sims from vacation worlds in my suburban world im Sims 4 it just looks weird to me.
When I go back and play Sims 2 (which is often) two things I miss are the more specific family tree/relationship titles from Sims 3 and the ability to break up with someone at any time. Definitely need those to stay on in the future.
@@LunaWitcherArt you don't need to try to make progress in Sims 4. Well, you need to skill build and that's about it right? In Sims 2, you had to do that plus make and maintain friends - it was hard but also meant your sim had to hang out with their friends. Atm, once my sim has a family, I live in a bubble in Sims 4.
Tbh the franchise is probably ruined because people no longer trust The Sims franchise. People bought The Sims 4 en masse because of the reputation of The Sims through The Sims 3. The Sims 4 already exposed EA as money-hungry and neglectful towards their consumers (telling them to just download mod to fix issues, regressing from past games, even bringing in Game Changers is pretty controversial). I don’t think The Sims 5 will be successful w/o EA doing TS4-style money grabs.
I have to wonder how much of what's the community doesn't like in 4 is from EA focusing more on the sims with how big it's gotten and their oversight. You can tell the current sims team loves these games and truly wants to please to community so that's kinda the only thing that makes sense of why it falls short.
The Sims 4 has no personality. It's a shell of what the franchise was. So sad. This video also makes me realize what was missing in TS4 and, to a much lesser extent, TS3. Eventually you would just run out of things to do. It's not for a lack of packs, skills, or objects. It's that elements of the UI are missing. I would LOVE for the TS2 personalities to come back with TS4's likes/dislikes. Also?? Having stuff to do to improve your lot like was in TS1?? Man. We really got robbed in TS4
The Sims 1 and 2 were such passion projects, you could really tell how much love was poured into them. The Sims 3 brought a lot of new amazing things that improved the game. But The Sims 4? Very obviously just a cash grab. They have made improvements to it over the years, I'll grant that, but it's still so far off from the previous games. Just the fact that it was made from the salvaged scraps of another game really shows just how little they care about the game, they just want a quick buck.
I’d quite like The Sims 5 to be the Sims 2 remastered with Sims 4 graphics, CAS & BB functionality basically… that’s my thinking 🤔 Edit: I should confirm, I didn’t play Sims 3 because I was a poor student with a laptop barely capable of running MSWord
I didn't play the Sims 3 for the same reason. I have a much better laptop now and did eventually get the Sims 3 base game, but this one couldn't handle it either--even when the computer was brand new.
PLEASE not Sims 4 graphics, I vehemently loathe that cartoony mobile game looking shite! It looks like they decided to aim it at a target audience that's 10 years younger than their normal demographic. It's so brightly colorful and minimalistic and hideous
@@KreeZafi I’m not a gamer as such so possibly mean graphics in a different way to what you do, I mean the quality, the previous games were very ‘blocky’ whereas 4 is quite smooth. For context, I’m 30 this year so I don’t think the graphics are too childlike 😂
I miss sims developing relations with other townies at school or work. In sims 3 you could choose to focus during working hours, relax at work or chat with coworkers.
In The Sims 4 you can choose what to do during work too, but it annoys me that it only has "socialize with coworkers" as a blanket option. I preferred when there were two separate options for meeting new coworkers OR building relationships with people you already know at work. When I socialize at work (or school) my sims mostly just seem to meet new people but not really build existing relationships
Something that I really like about the Sims 3 is getting the newspaper every morning and reading about stuff going on in the world, checking weekly events, looking for a job, discount classes for certain skills, and if you have a frugal sim; having the option to cut out coupons for discounts at certain stores. I also loved watching my adult sims reading with their toddler, it's so cute to watch them cuddle. And another thing I love about the Sims 3 is how the careers work, and life time wishes. Every time I completed a life time wish, I always felt so accomplished and satisfied. And favorites, I would love to see those come back!
I had an idea for The Sims 5. We should be forced to choose a flaw if we want more positive traits for our Sim. Like in Sims Medieval, but 2 traits and 1 fatal flaw wouldn't be enough, so maybe you could choose 4 traits and 2 flaws and so on. It could work with a point system, where you can spend your points "buying" positive traits and if you get short on points, you choose a flaw which will give you more points to spend. The number of points will vary, depending on how bad that trait is. For example, imagine that I have 10 points to spend. I buy the following traits: Good (worth 4 points), Artistic (worth 3 points) and Friendly (worth 3 points). But I wanted more traits, so I buy a negative trait or flaw. I choose Clumsy (which gives me +3 points) and Unlucky (I get +4 points from it). Now I have 7 extra points to spend, so I get Hopeless Romantic (for 6 points) and Loves to swim (for 1 point). This way I could make a Sim with so many traits, but also with so many flaws. It would be so fun to experiment with them. But of course, we would need MANY traits/flaws. Something like what we had in The Sims 3.
Yeah! This is how Project Zomboid does it and honestly it is unhinged and it fits perfectly into the Sims 2/Sims Medieval chaotic vibes that I remember.
@@LunaWitcherArt Yes! I think it's the perfect balance between The Sims 2 (where you had to assign points) and The Sims 3 (having cool and meaningful traits). Project Zomboid is amazing and I would give anything to have a Sims game that goes so in deep as PZ does.
@@bornxntuesday even if we just had a good base that could allow for modders to expand it like Project Zomboid would already be super nice. I love the character creation in that game, I can be deaf and it affects gameplay!
👏🏻 MEMORIES 👏🏻 I loved looking at their little journals of everything they’ve put in as a core memory and starting a new family and looking back at all that had already happened.
Hobbies and enthusiasm system Crafting activities like sewing or pottery Rounded swimming pool building and slides Weed and bushes trimming (maybe lawn mowing kit) Spiral stairs Composting Body hair Horses Greenhouses Watch the waves Nectar making Drums and bass Acrobat, singer and magician careers Lunar stages Zodiac Cars or at least garage clutter Pool tables Awning tool Telescopes New to the series: drainpipes and roof gutters tool (not wall or roof decoration)
@@LunaWitcherArt i know that's one of my primary pet peeves. because stairs in 4 take up so much space, and ladders don't- spiral staircases take up barely more space than a ladder, and are used like ACTUAL stairs!! and obviously, add a shit ton of style to an otherwise basic space, with one click !!
@@ihatemickiegee imagine the amount of style of having a space like Hill House where the spiral staircase in the library goes uninterrupted for like 2.5 to 3 floors??? I also want to be able to curve a freaking staircase. My lovely mansions -that I don't build- need it!!!
I can agree with a lot of the stuff here (Especially Create-a-Style for CAS, the therapist and customizing the worlds). Other things I would really like to see are the ability to layer clothes like in Sims 2 for Console, the ease of which to move between worlds like Sims 4, a much better optimized Open World than Sims 3 and of course Build/Buy mode like Sims 4.
I miss the floating head so much. I didn't spent 3 hours picking out eyebrows on my TS4 sim to not see her beautiful face roll her eyes at me when she looks around at her future actions, thank-yew.
The sims in ts3 were so unique individually and chaotic!!! I remember I was playing a single sim and she was going steady with Stiles McGraw and they eventually got engaged, but when I went over to play in his household I noticed that he had a full on girlfriend that wasn’t my sim, and like, two other romantic interests??? Even when I broke all of those off, when I play as one of his roommates he was living with for a few minutes and click back on him, HE’D BE AT IT AGAIN FLIRTING WITH OTHER WOMEN WHEN I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING TO INFLUENCE THAT!! It’s not like he had the noncommittal trait or anything, his whole life story is that he’s excessively average. He just did it on his own accord multiple times. It made third grade me so irritated but now as an adult I think it’s kinda funny lol
I want the level of quality in object designs we had in Sims 2 (mostly in later expansions). Just got it working again and there are so many nice items that are often times better than Sims 4! Honestly mindblowing!
I had no idea I smell like Victorian piss. 😭 I really just watched this to get Plumbella's opinions about what she's wants to see in the Sims 5 and ended up getting roasted. 😂
Also one thing that could be added to the map editor part: The sims 2 worlds were sc4 files, empty sim city 4 cities. In general, Sim City 4 was kinda well integrated into the sims games. I kinda wish, that Sims 5 releases together with a new Sim City game, bringing both games together, as it used to be the case. SimCity can also double as a world creation tool
Wants and Fears in Sims 2 was great. So was making your own lots so you could make it as crowded or empty as you want. Memory system from Sims 2 alkso. I liked going back to see things like first kiss with the certain person
Something I keep thinking about is how Emotions were supposed to be a big focal point in the sims4 yet it ended up feeling so emotionless/dead, things felt more eventful in the sims2 & 3 emotion & reaction wise! Also memories in the sims2 were really good when it came to focusing on story building - I miss the lore and potential for drama, they focused to much on making things too family friendly
I want to see what Sims have been up to since you last checked on them. When I load a household that now has enemies I want to know whyyy. The Sims 3 was so good at this. Also I want to be able to click on more things and use them. TS4 is 90% static aesthetic decor.
Yes to this right now don lothario is enemies with a guy from another town and i have no clue why! I hate it, at least other sim games i could see a fight happened while i wasn't playing them or they flirted with a crush!
I just made a new sim to live in Tartosa and for some reason the game had her preset with negative relationships with every member of the Laraunt (sp?) family... I've never had that happen before! It felt SO random. I don't have any friends that play the Sims and I've yet to find a comment on a Sims channel where this has happened to anyone else. I feel like I'm missing something, for sure.
I would love for the Sims 5 to basically just be a remaster of the Sims 2 but with the open world from the Sims 3. The Sims 2 is SO magical to me even today; I just find it hard to play now because of the 2000s style of CAS and Build/Buy objects and the quality of the graphics by today’s standard.
i just wanna see more respresentation for TS5. body hair, height slider, better skin tones, that sort of thing. TS4 was really disappointing with that sort of stuff.
i would also love more disability representation too. while we have cc, having assistive tech accessories like hearing aids, prosthetics, etc. would be nice. iirc, sims 3 had canes that a sim would use if it was in their inventory
The one thing I disagree with is height slider, I know a lot of people want that and while I agree it'd be cool, it's just not feasible from an animation perspective. They would have to put an INSANE amount of work into animations to make it work for so many different heights without clipping or distorted limbs. But I do want them to at least make teens shorter than adults again, they made teens the same height as adults in TS4 out of pure laziness just so they could re-use the same animations
The customisation level in Sims 3 is so perfect that I cannot fathom why they steered so far from it in 4. You can make any build mode item match another by making it the exact same colour and texture. It’s so hard to make things match and look good in 4 because you’ll get a nice window or couch and it matches absolutely nothing. Likewise for clothing, in 4 I’ll find a nice top and be like “well I don’t know what the creators wanted me to put this with because everything looks ridiculous or it doesn’t come in a colour that looks good”. I need life stage meters back as well. Babies are babies for way too long and I often need just an extra day or two on toddlers. I want events like prom and school recitals back, as well as private schools from Sims 2.
YES omg I absolutely love the customization of TS3! Especially as someone with unconventional tastes, but even setting that aside it's just SO much easier to create cohesive looks and rooms with Create-A-Style. It really upsets me when I can't use the design I like because it doesn't come in the right color. It's super limiting and I end up only ever using the same few items. Create-A-Style gives so so much more creative freedom. You can so significantly change the aesthetic of an item by changing patterns and colors.
I would definitely keep the genetics from The Sims 2. I know hair and eye colors are pretty limited in there but the idea of some traits being recessive and other being dominant is so smart and realistic. It could absolutely work even if hair color and eye color were a spectrum. Simply, darker colors would be dominant and it would be a little more difficult for recessive (lighter) traits to show up. I know it can be a pain in the ass sometimes when most of the town ends up with black hair, but a possiblity of having undercover recessive genes that can show up in the next generations is amazing. It's always a nice surprise when the offspring gets a trait that wasn't expected to have yet it makes a lot of sense from genetics perspective. Another idea could be mixing those colors, like brown and blue eyes making green eyed child, or dark brown and blond hair making light brown hair. I think a proper genetics could be done very well in The Sims 5. It could be based on The Sims 2 idea but could be adjusted to give a little bit more possibilites. I personally love The Sims 2 system and it's a huge part of my gameplay to properly "breed" my sims to have hair and eye colors that I know are possible to get. It's much better than Sims 3 and 4 where you can change sim's hair color for blue and their kids end up with the same hair color.
the wants and fears in sims 4 is soooo disappointing the fears specifically how they always pop up no matter what, my sim got a comedy career jump from 3 to 10 and abt a 2k salary bonus and she got a “fear from dead end job” fear, and even when i turn them off they still pop up. i really miss how the fears were in ts2 they actually made sense and im specifically thinking about the want to cheat on your spouse but also fearing cheating on your spouse because in the real world im sure thats how it is. ts4 seems like only consequences with the fears but the consequences dont correlate very well to your actual sims. the only one thats done well is fear of death if your sims watches someome die, but that one was bugged for me as well as the fear of your spouse/partner cheating. i was doing the serial romancer aspiration i believe, where you date like 15 sims and the sim that gave my sim that fear my sim had already broken up with them so i couldnt get rid of the fear.
Yes to all of this! Also the additional buildings in town in the Sims 3 like the bookshop and grocery store, and the different places of work actually being physical places on the map, like the town hall and the sports arena!
I love how everyone in the comments are talking about and listing the things they genuinely miss about the previous Sims games while I'm over here giddy and smiling every time Plumbella mentions anything about Bucky Barnes 😂
For me the most important thing is making the sims actually feel alive, it's something that I think is lacking in The Sims 4. The other games did it well with interests, wants and fears, turn ons, personality points, more traits, and the most important imho are memories. I love how the Sims would remember something that happened which can either traumatise them, or make them happy. In the sims 4 someone can pass away and not long after their loved ones act as if nothing happened. I also really want to see certain items return, primarily objects from the Sims Superstar. Being able to record a jingle, walk down a runway, model for a photoshoot, record a music video/movie are really fun for me and the equivalents that have been released since then don't have the same impact.
I neeeeed interests from the sims 1 back. You had to read magazines to get more interested in what other sims were into to become their friends, otherwise your interactions would massively fail. And you couldn't pick their interests yourself, they just liked certain things. You could change it with magazines but I loved that there was a part of them that had nothing to do with my influence.
I played the sims 2 as an adult after the sims 3, my formative years were in the sims 3, and I still think sims 2 is superior. The lack of control over personalities and goals is top tier. I like being lazy and letting my sims tell a story instead of having to tell them the story.
Agree with everything! The jungle gym you showed from sims 1 is interesting. I didn't play that one so I hadn't seen it before. We definitely need more things like that and small things in general.
I really loved the gameplay in the Sims 3 and I hope a lot of it comes back. Also LORE I want the town to have a story. Hope you get to feeling better babes❤️
I just don’t understand why they’re not adding the small things we’ve loved so much from the last games. They literally have done it before and know exactly what we want. Especially the small, random and chaotic things happening in the sims 2. I’ve been playing The Sims 4 since around 2018 I think and my stove has probably set on fire like once. Honestly that’s boring hahaha
They simply do not give a shit about the game anymore, they just want easy money. They know people will pay regardless. The pervious games were made with love, The Sims 4 was made with only greed
I would like to see back the payable venues from sims 2 - makes owning a nightclub or museum or pool or anything really more interesting gameplay wise (maybe lose the part where they stand looking at entrance deciding to go in or not part though) Oh and being able to customise seasons - I hate playing Sulani and it's raining and snowing (I'd planned a beach wedding and it was snowing) Love being able to make it summer all year round, or winter for the skiing place.
Yeah, they let us turn on or off certain aspects of neighborhood stories now--what's allowed to happen to unplayed households, etc.--it would be nice if we were given more control over other things like seasons, or the possibility to turn off occult sims depending on the save file. I like having them overall and playing with occult sims deliberately, but don't necessarily want a vampire breaking into my more realistic suburban homes all the time.
Sims2 always felt like such a personal experience, each Sim had their own personality, and each family felt so different from the next. In sims 4, I feel like it’s all generally the same. There’s no consequences for any actions, like when a partner cheats on another, nothing really happens. I miss having memories, it was always fun to look back & see what impacted your sim throughout their life.
I'm really curious how, according to reports, EA wanting to merge or sell to another company will infuence the development of The Sims 5. If I recall correctly even Comcast of all companies was considering buying it, that would be catastrophic
I swear to God if anything more disastrous happens to this franchise I'll just let the wolves eat it and encourage the current team to go join Paralives or something.
I love the new system of likes and dislikes and really hope the expand on it to make your sims more unique. Adding things like food, drinks, tv shows, more activities(because we're very limited to cooking, singing and and such)
YES! And I want there to be an option where you can decide whether an unfavorited sim’s gravestone can go straight to a graveyard when they die. Like instead of the graves just disappearing they’ll go straight to a graveyard
It’s the open world which for me just made the town seem so much more real and alive, plus being able to customise pretty much everything from sims 3 that I miss to the point I still haven’t really crossed over to sims 4. As one of the few that managed to get the sims 3 builder to work lol, being able to build my own custom open world 👌🏾👌🏾✨ can’t beat it if they could put the world builder in the game that would be amazing
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Sims 2 memories feature. I didn't get to play Sims 2 on PC because I didn't have a PC I only played it on console and its a whole different thing but the memories that I've heard so much about really interest me and I would like to see it come back along with wants and fears.
I miss the little sleeping animations from the sims 3 like couples sleeping together cuddling, kids waking up from a nightmare and then going back to sleep on their own or crawling into bed with a parent and gettin hugged. I miss pets getting up on the bed and sleepin with ya. And i miss the collectible birds flying through the house at warp speed if you had doors open.
The best thing about sims 2 is if you have simcity 2000 you can create y our own custom terrains. Literally everything was possible to make as your own.
They should just straight up have a neighbourhood creator in TS5 that let's you do everything from choosing the size to morphing the land to laying down the roads to placing rabbit holes to placing land and houses. Basically the world editor from TS3 except much better optimized and built straight into the actual game. The more customization the better.
I feel like in the Sims 5 we should have worlds similar to the Sims 2 where the worlds are semi-open which would also mean the worlds wouldn't make the game as laggy as the Sims 3.
Yeah I still to this day can't get over the fact that the 4th entry in this franchise has less neighbourhood customization than the game that came out 10 years before it. Everytime I try to give ts4 another chance, literally the first thing I see when loading up the game is how much of a backwards step the game is and most of the time I don't even make it into live mode before I quit and load up TS2 or TS3 instead.
If there's one thing I would absolutely love to have back for The Sims 5, it's zodiac signs. I understand not everyone is going to be down for this but with me mainly playing The Sims 2, I feel zodiacs add much more depth to the Sims gameplay. Especially if you add compatibility to them. For example, if there is a Sim who is a Cancer and you try to hook them up with a Sim who is a Aries, it would be kind of difficult since they aren't that compatible. But if they were a Taurus, it would be easier. I love that about Sims 2 and 3, but I feel 2 has much more depth to it.
I miss the cut scenes from Sims 2. They're such strong memories still In the sims 3 how sometimes when you started a new household and loaded into a new lot and there will have been a water leak, meteor fall, or the house is on fire
I also want them to invest effort on making intricate and interesting stories with depth. I loved watching the photos of the families and figuring out what was their story was, also the scripted events in sims 2.
7:34 WTF? Is that a freaking SECTIONAL COUCH?! Why did TS2 have a sectional, but TS4 has these stupid “bench couches” and other asinine types of couches?! Watching this infuriates me, because it shows how much EA has really gotten “PAY TO PLAY” with The Sims franchise, and that it really has lost a lot of its heart, but we’re all dumb enough to buy for nostalgia and $500-750 later; our sims still cannot differentiate between washing their plates off in the KITCHEN sink (5 ft away) versus walking up to the 3rd floor of a house, and washing their plates off in the BATHROOM SINK…smh…i sure do miss the old Sims gameplay and depth and feel of their worlds…TS4 is good but very hollow, and with years and NEW CONTENT etc announced and planned. The least they could do is, remaster and offer us all the ITEMS, SONGS, WALLPAPERS, THEMES, etc from the previous games into DLC packs…that would reinvigorate the game and bring back the customization and depth that we deserve for being committed fans for over 20 years now
my daily morning routine is making coffee, finding a bit of breakfast, and watching/catching up on your videos while struggling thru wordle. its my favorite routine ever :) thank you for providing comfort for me
I desperately want Create-A-Style, it was one of the best things to ever happen to the game imo. As long as they ALSO have a good set of swatches there is no reason not to have it, people who don't want that level of customization can just use the swatches instead. It'd be so easy to make both options available....
Also I desperately want an open world, my play style often involves sending different household members to different locations. I want to be able to do that while still controlling all of them, not having to choose which lot to be on. I know this slows down the game but maybe it can be customizable? Like there could be three options in the game settings: one for a fully open world, one semi-open where you can access nearby lots but not the whole world, and one closed where it's just the current lot. So people can choose depending on their computer's performance or personal preference.
OMG JUST REMEMBERED, another thing I desperately want is non-mutual relationships like in The Sims 2! I want two sims to be able to feel differently about each other. Unrequited crushes, hating someone who still likes you, etc. SO much more fun for gameplay when relationships don't necessarily go both ways!
I miss memories so much, it really helped build so much not just for your sim but the townies!! I miss 2 and 3 features so much while playing 4 its actually really sad.
I want magic come back from Sims 1 in the exact way it was done there. It was SO good and engaging. Dont even let me start on music in Magic Town. Magic in Sims 2-3 had a really different vibe to me.
OMG as a kid I thought the music in Magic Town was so scary!! :D You’re right, it was just such a unique and specific vibe that hasn’t been back since….
I agree with most of these. What I miss the most though is the little details like the TV randomly falling off the wall in the Sims 2, the cuddle in bed, the laying about/jumping on the sofa. Those little things made the game a life sim.
I definitely want cars, better babies, memory system, attractive system, supermarkets from Sims 2, wants and fears and hotels from Sims 3 back in the Sims 5.
I 100% agree with you on everything, probably because I also played the Sims 2 during my brain-formative years :D My No.1 would be for Wishes and Fears to come back, they were such good story prompts and made it feel like your Sims were reacting to their environment and had internal motivations.
I like the incentives sims 2 had too. Like food bringing up hunger but if u grow ur produce and cook with it, the hunger bar fills up so much faster. The way open for business was. I had a farm family who grew all the produce possible and fish and sold it in their farmers market community lot which obviously was more expensive but it’s fresh and u don’t have to grow your own food. And going on vacation or university to get extra want slots. The aspiration perks and getting a secondary aspiration. Ugh so good honestly
I’ve been missing burglars and meteor strikes. I once had a meteor strike my school and literally every teen and child died in the world. It was horrible, but the drama.
Oh the drama! Oh the humanity! Oh the 10-year-old absolutely traumatized playing that save!
your sims: aaaah help
you: it's the drama Mick I just love it
In TS2 I had a couple of raised from kids to adults and they were watching the clouds together and got absolutely wrecked by a falling satellite. I tried to quit without saving but it was too late. They were dead and it was scarring but also so good. It became lore that I used in that town afterwards. Made them a very lovely memorial garden. With the satellite of course.
Yes more randomness that we can't control!! I love it.
Omg I completely forgot about burglars! Yes PLEASE bring them back!! I remember playing as a child I was absolutely terrified every time lol
This is a small thing but: I really miss in Sims 2 where you actually had to go to the shop to buy new clothes. Made it feel like an actual outing.
Ooh yes but also... please let me shop online sometimes. I'm playing a rainbow legacy and it is getting a little tedious going to buy clothes every generation.....
Yesss !! And the fact that they had a limited amount of clothes. I loved matching different pants/tops that my sims owned to create different outfits. Whereas in TS3 and 4, I don't bother opening CAS to pick brand new stuff or make the effort to remember what they're supposed to own. I've been looking desperately for a limited clothing mod but it doesn't seem to exist :(
@@PixieBulb There's a mod for Sims 2, I can't remember the name, but it's for computers and you can online shop and online banking and a bunch of other stuff
i also wish there was a whim or emotion or something that's like "bored of my outfit" that encouraged you to change your sims outfit up every now and again. I get really bored when sims wear the same everyday outfit all the time but I don't really have a motive or reason to change it
And now we just get to wash the clothes we get for free 😂
The thing about the car picking you up for work, it was so satisfying to see the progression of the type of car that would show up. It would start off with a really rusty piece of junk, and at the end it would be somethin' real fancy, sometimes a limo
Some careers even got a helicopter, and sims around would cover their ears and complain when another sim got picked up.
And cars in Sims1 and Sims2 (not Sims3 though) also drove (at least on they were on) like real cars. They'd go out of the garage, through the driveway, and onto the street, and if something (mostly sims) was in their way, they'd stop and honk at it. In Sims3 they "teleport" from their parking to the street, and just flow continously, passing directly over slower vehicles and sims on the road...
Helicopters? Which game was that? And what job?
@@mballheart sims 2 had helicopters.
I really miss graveyards. I hate that graves just disappear when you’re not actively playing a household when a sim dies.
It’s also annoying when someone dies in the little neighborhood but not in the house… so the grave is just there. Forever. I wish graves would be automatically added to a graveyard or something except for the sims you’re playing (or maybe all the sims you’ve ever played with depends on settings)
While I wish it were in the game Chipped Sims makes a great graveyard mod that I really enjoy and has a few modules I love (including bringing back our fav Olive Spectre as a spellcaster)
Also you could send your sims on text adventures in the mausoleum where you get popups with y/n questions and they'll come out with moodlets and sometimes objects. Sims get wants to go to the graveyard and do stuff too.
LITERALLY when I enter an unplayed household house and the urns are just in front if the door first thing when you enter like can you literally not can they just fuck off to a graveyard pls
I really want memories back, specifically Sims 2 memories, it was just fun to look at all the stuff that happened in your Sims life.
Also hobbies from Sims 2, how you had to try different activities to find out what was your Sims' favourite hobby
Also an attraction system, it made it really easy to find a romantic interest
Yes!! I think it’s very interesting to have a few things about our Sims be "out of our control" so there’s stuff we as the player will find out along the way as we play
Yes! Having memories made it just feel more like I was actively playing a game rather than sims who just exist in the moment.
it was also very helpful coming back after a longer pause like I always forget what happened in their life.
or even the Sims 2 editable Photoalbum. anything to chronicle the Sims lives
I randomly chose my sim's turn ons and offs.
I was surprised that she got on so well with a vampire until I realized that I made her into vampirism.
I played Sims 2 as a teenager, when I downloaded Sims 4 I was SO disappointed memories weren’t a thing 😭😭
I’d actually really like to see the sims 2 style cutscenes to come back. Something were people could opt out, but they just made certain life events feel so much more impactful.
Yes! I loved sending the teens to Uni!
Yesss it was so fun and rewarding getting a little movie for important life events!
I love how everyone else wants to see the life achievements cutscenes (engagement, marriage, graduation, babies, etc.) and here I am just wishing for the woohoo cutscenes lmao I want that scandalous feeling I used to get as a kid playing the Sims 2 😂
@@Fallen4theFallen2 hey, bangin’ can be an important life event 😂😂
The woohoo cut scenes creeped me out as a kid, though
for me what the sims 2 did really well for being a closed world is the apartments. I've been playing it a lot more these days and it really is giving the semi open world that I want for the sims 4. because with how that system works is that a whole house can become an apartment so if you have a huge lot you can have lots of sims on it and actually go to there houses, interact with them and see them leave the lot.all without a loading screen its great. what really get me imersed is when I see all the kids on the lot actually get on the same bus and not just have random kids that should be in school running around.
This makes me want to make a compound or commune with little houses on it and a communal garden, kitchen, and skill zone. Not sure if they're going to be hippies or a cult.
Gah it was so damn good 😩😩😩
@@saraa3418 I did that once as a small campground. Multiple houses with a community garden and public toilets.
@@saraa3418 why not make them into a hippy cult
One of my favorite parts of the Sims 1-2 were the dark senses of humor. There was still a hint of that in the Sims 3, but Sims 4 is utterly clean. The Sims 4 is clean and perfect and safe, which isn't super fun. I like my drama and my dark humor and my caricatured sims. I want to dress them dingy. I miss the shrink from Sims 2 that appears to slap some sense back into you (or in the console Sims 2 games, he would reset your wants and fears so you can start anew). I miss the sad clown and social bunny.
Sad clown is still around! You have to buy the painting and have your sim view it a few times but then he'll pop up
I feel like each game in the franchise aimed for a younger and younger target audience. Although I love The Sims 3 one of my few complains about it is that it's a bit childish, but that's NOTHING compared to how squeaky clean and family friendly The Sims 4 is! Although I was quite surprised that TS4 has the "mess around" option for teens, and I was quite stoked about the "possessions" in StrangerVille because those are legit kinda creepy which is super uncharacteristic for TS4
SAD CLOWN AND SOCIAL BUNNY NUFF SAID
This is why the Urbz is still my favorite. Fill your sims face with piercings and wrangle ferrets for money while you jam to the "original" version of that one Black Eyed Peas song. Felt like that was really the last of that naughty sims era
sims 2 wants and fears is the most important thing to me, absolutely desperate for it to come back. allows a wants based style of gameplay where the sim is in control of what they want, and we as the player have to help them fulfill *their* desires instead of our own
I miss actually having goals in the gameplay. If there are goals you can succeed or fail, making it more challenging and more rewarding.
Same. Whims don’t feel the same and they’re useless because they’re not specific to a sim’s trait. I can have a sim who’s high maintenance and hates anything outdoorsy, but is obsessed with getting a bee box
The fun thing about wants is that you can just ignore them if you want to.
Yeah that's why I couldn't get into Sims 4 tbh. I liked having the little things to so. Also? Sims 2 just felt fricken weird and I loved it sm
It was absolutely FANTASTIC when a sim could’ve had BOTH a desire and a fear of having a baby at the same time. So true to life omg
I really want to see variation in relationships come back and more variety in types of relationships. For example, a sim is in love with their friend who doesn't feel the same. Also more variation in how easy a relationship/friendship is to build up (compatibility for friends and lovers affecting how strong the relationship is or how quickly it increases).
also relationship autonomy, weve gotten a little bit now cus of story progression, but it really bothers me how sims cant autonomously cheat or something. WHERE IS THE DRAMAAA????
or one person hates someone while the other doesn't even think about the person.
@@cez_is_typing we shouldn't have to download mods to make the gameplay up to par, but with wickedwhims my sims gf was a HOE. She fucked Don Lothario in my sims dorm room 😔. But to add onto your point, sims your marrying autonomously leaving you at the alter, or a sim you invited stopping the wedding. We need so much more drama
Or just make it a challenge to get someone to like your sim, everyone is too loose and easy to seduce lol
I think this would be fun for teenagers. Like a teenage crush, that is temporary (like a phase) unless maintained, where the teen gets a crush on a random other teen, who in most cases doesn't reciprocate. In a system with wishes then a lot of wishes would be "kiss them" "make them boyfriend/girlfriend" or even crazier "marry them" (even though they're teens and can't marry)
I miss the head menu. It was how I used to show off how “pretty” my sims were to my completely uninterested brother. *sighs in nostalgia
Yeah I really miss it in 4 because especially when kids age into toddlers I'd rather have the face menu to see what the kids look like
another great thing about graveyards is that when non-household sims die in the town their grave is automatically moved to the graveyard, which stops random graves sitting around everyone's house and means you can easily collect the grave of someone you want in your house
Honestly Create-a-style wouldn’t be so stressful for the computer to load if they didn’t allow us to add leopard print to every single object in the game. Though I kind of enjoy that option.
It seems much better with Smooth Patch from Lazy Duchess!
@@samara.morgan might have to try that haha, ts3 is optimised terribly
@@lianna9492 I always expect TS3 to explode with errors 😬 if you decide to install the patch, prepare for faster spinning of things in buy mode, especially if you make game use 1000 TPS 😀 You can also use this patch to limit FPS, seems to work properly for me and I don't have to use FPS limiter anymore 🙂
If sims team had the time and money to optimize their game, it would be fine.
But we all know EA.
the sims team got a little carried away with create-a-style… like… thanks for allowing us to customize basically anything, but i don’t think i need the option to have a dress or couch made out of bricks!
I miss TS3 pets!! They really nailed the animals in that one (especially horses) and actually had depth to them, like you could make a career from breeding horses or training them and they were actually useful to the open world format as transport!
one small thing about the Sims 3 that I liked was that you didn't have to place walls to make an attic, you could just place a roof & a ladder/stairs and your Sims could still go up there
A lot of people say “we can’t have open world!” due to the lag but as many have said we have better technology now, many games manage open world just fine if they’re made well.
Along with that, they could just make it partially open world. Like the sims 4 has neighborhoods and in those neighborhoods they have sections. Sims 5 could have open worlds in each section of a neighborhood instead of the entire neighborhood like sims 3 did. That’s just my thoughts though.
Yup! I totally get why open world is hard on a lot of computers (its not like the sims 4 is easy on computers, the fans are never louder on my gaming PC than when playing the sims 4), but the fact that I have to go through a loading screen to go to my neighbor's house is insane.
I think there should be different options so people can choose depending on performance. I really really want a fully open world to be an option, but people can lower the settings to "section" or even all the way down to "lot" if needed. Just PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me send people to opposite sides of the map!!!!
I want open worlds and to be able to drive manually like gta. I know it wouldn't work but would be fun.
@@KreeZafi I totally get where you’re coming from but see this is part of the issue. Games like RDR2 and HZD 1&2 (even TLOU2 which isn’t fully open world) aren’t made with low specs in mind. This is why they are able to have huge open word maps, complicated AI (especially HZD 1&2) and amazing graphics. If your computer/console can’t run RDR2 or GTA 5 , the devs say “oh well, get a better computer”. They don’t spend time and money trying to implement what you’re suggesting above. From a development standpoint point, it a bit of a waste of time (money). The thing is though, I don’t really think EA can do this with the current sims community (especially without looking like the bad guy) because much of their money and support comes from those with low spec computers, it wouldn’t t be right to simply throw those people away. But at the same time… the sims could be soooo much more (mechanically and visually) than it is right now if they focused on making a game without the limitation of low-end computer simmers.
Since everything else I want back has already been mentioned I want to add a minor detail: shopping from the Sims 2. I know in today's world you basically can buy everything everywhere it's kind of too much in the Sims 4. For example having all the clothes in the world, while being a nice opportunity, is kind of too much for me. I want my sims to go shopping for groceries, pc games, magazine, books and clothing. I want them to spend their money on stuff they need to survive because it still is a life simulation lol
yes and i wish the sims would ONLY wear the clothes you buy them! I get so sick of spending hours in cas perfecting a sims style but you see them walking around in a randomly generated outfit anyway
Omg YES I'd love to have to buy clothes to wear them so the sim can only wear the clothes they own!! Could also be interesting for certain gameplay purposes, like a rich sim might have tons of outfits whereas a poor sim has to wear their older sibling's clothes as they grow up
They can bring it back with Get to Work update and it would be so awesome :( we could've choose only 1 outfit option for each section in CAS and the rest of them needs to buy with money. They can give us new traits like "shopping addict, penny pincher, fashionista"
You can really see the passion the devs had in the older sims game... Really wished we could've seen that same passion in TS4.. Hopefully TS5 will be different.
Nah just more corporate greed. Less people, less time to provide, create, be creative, and QA. Why make GPs and Gameplay kits or Expansions, when the art department can drop a kit every 2 months
@@LG_Hakubi Less people? Didn't they say the team was far bigger than the one that worked on TS3? I think TS4 team just doesn't really care at all about The Sims franchise.

Perfect sims game for me would be:
Quirkiness and attention to detail like in Sims 1
Lore and great premade sims like in Sims 2
World that feels alive like in Sims 3
Easy build mode like in Sims 4
+ better optimisation so it runs smoothly
And sims 4 sim customisation not as in traits and stuff as in being able to customise their face and body better
the moving head for the interactions menu is everything. probably what i miss the most in the sims tbh
yes.
I'd love for the autonomy actions from sims 2 to be brought back.. If you have a neat sim it will go and wash the windows by itself. Or a slob sim won't push the tv all the way back against the wall once they've repaired it. Relaxing on a sofa, or the kids jumping on the sofa/bed. Doing fitness workouts to the stereo. Or the hobbies like ballet or baking.
I loved The Sims 1’s "recipes" system where they just list down the ingredients you need (which can sometimes be tricky to acquire so thats an added layer of challenge) and it’s up to you to try it out and see what you get from it (e.g. nectar making, spells, baking, charm-making etc.)
It added so much intrigue to the game for me. TS4’s way of immediately describing the end product and sending you off to find what you need to make it gives me less incentive to actually do it
I never got to play Sims 1 but that sounds like a LOT of fun!
Oh I don't remember that at all. Was there like a lil quest book or something where it was written down or how did that look like?
@@chaoskind9012 yup, Makin’ Magic came with recipe books (for cooking and magic alike) the Sims can browse and it will all start as "Unknown" spells/charms/etc.
Only after you made it will the description of the thing you made appear in the book entry :)
LOVED the wants and fears in the Sims 2!
also really want them to bring back the feature that said when sims were around another sim they found attractive. I’d love sims to have a ‘type’, it would give them so much more character
Yeah, we need an attraction system. Turn ons and turn offs at the very least, but I liked how important it was that your zodiac signs were compatible in TS2.
The Open world is just a must-have for me. I enjoy sending my teen Sims to the graveyard while the mom is getting a massage and the dad is going fishing and staying there for the night in a tent. There is soo much life in the open world - the cafés, the view when your Sims take a walk up some hill, controlling your Sims all at once while them doing different activities and meeting different friends. Whenever I start the Sims 4 it just gets boring so quickly. Even Sims 2 is more entertaining because there is way more drama and I can definitely look over the fact that it’s not open world cause it’s from 2004 - but Sims 4 sure doesn’t do it for me anymore.
Oh, and the fact that neighborhoods are not ‘closed up’ like in Sims 3 - I hate having Sims from vacation worlds in my suburban world im Sims 4 it just looks weird to me.
When I go back and play Sims 2 (which is often) two things I miss are the more specific family tree/relationship titles from Sims 3 and the ability to break up with someone at any time. Definitely need those to stay on in the future.
I would love the careers to be harder again like in Sims 2 and 3.
Honestly they are hard for me as is because of how bored I get with them all the time so I can't be bothered to actually make progress
I loved in the sims 3 when you had to build relationships with your boss/coworkers to get promoted
@@LunaWitcherArt you don't need to try to make progress in Sims 4. Well, you need to skill build and that's about it right? In Sims 2, you had to do that plus make and maintain friends - it was hard but also meant your sim had to hang out with their friends. Atm, once my sim has a family, I live in a bubble in Sims 4.
@@roseability86 make progress in the career, not in the game as a whole. Though the game is still quite boring.
things i want to make a comeback in the sims 5: the focus being on the game, not the financial gain
Tbh the franchise is probably ruined because people no longer trust The Sims franchise. People bought The Sims 4 en masse because of the reputation of The Sims through The Sims 3.
The Sims 4 already exposed EA as money-hungry and neglectful towards their consumers (telling them to just download mod to fix issues, regressing from past games, even bringing in Game Changers is pretty controversial).
I don’t think The Sims 5 will be successful w/o EA doing TS4-style money grabs.
EA just need to open videos like these, watch, see the comments to see what the community wants. Easy. They will do it? Never, cause it's *~EA°~ lol
I have to wonder how much of what's the community doesn't like in 4 is from EA focusing more on the sims with how big it's gotten and their oversight. You can tell the current sims team loves these games and truly wants to please to community so that's kinda the only thing that makes sense of why it falls short.
If they just remade the sims 3 but fixed the graphics and performance while brining in build/buy and CAS from the sims 4 I would be happy as a clam.
Same!!
Literally this! There’s nothing that the sims 4 has added to the game that I would miss. The only thing I like about it is the graphics.
The Sims 4 has no personality. It's a shell of what the franchise was. So sad. This video also makes me realize what was missing in TS4 and, to a much lesser extent, TS3. Eventually you would just run out of things to do. It's not for a lack of packs, skills, or objects. It's that elements of the UI are missing. I would LOVE for the TS2 personalities to come back with TS4's likes/dislikes. Also?? Having stuff to do to improve your lot like was in TS1?? Man. We really got robbed in TS4
The Sims 1 and 2 were such passion projects, you could really tell how much love was poured into them. The Sims 3 brought a lot of new amazing things that improved the game. But The Sims 4? Very obviously just a cash grab. They have made improvements to it over the years, I'll grant that, but it's still so far off from the previous games. Just the fact that it was made from the salvaged scraps of another game really shows just how little they care about the game, they just want a quick buck.
I’d quite like The Sims 5 to be the Sims 2 remastered with Sims 4 graphics, CAS & BB functionality basically… that’s my thinking 🤔
Edit: I should confirm, I didn’t play Sims 3 because I was a poor student with a laptop barely capable of running MSWord
I did play Sims 3 and I would still like it to be remastered Sims 2 lol
I didn't play the Sims 3 for the same reason. I have a much better laptop now and did eventually get the Sims 3 base game, but this one couldn't handle it either--even when the computer was brand new.
Your post has stolen my heart! This is a hill I can die on
PLEASE not Sims 4 graphics, I vehemently loathe that cartoony mobile game looking shite! It looks like they decided to aim it at a target audience that's 10 years younger than their normal demographic. It's so brightly colorful and minimalistic and hideous
@@KreeZafi I’m not a gamer as such so possibly mean graphics in a different way to what you do, I mean the quality, the previous games were very ‘blocky’ whereas 4 is quite smooth. For context, I’m 30 this year so I don’t think the graphics are too childlike 😂
I miss sims developing relations with other townies at school or work. In sims 3 you could choose to focus during working hours, relax at work or chat with coworkers.
In The Sims 4 you can choose what to do during work too, but it annoys me that it only has "socialize with coworkers" as a blanket option. I preferred when there were two separate options for meeting new coworkers OR building relationships with people you already know at work. When I socialize at work (or school) my sims mostly just seem to meet new people but not really build existing relationships
Something that I really like about the Sims 3 is getting the newspaper every morning and reading about stuff going on in the world, checking weekly events, looking for a job, discount classes for certain skills, and if you have a frugal sim; having the option to cut out coupons for discounts at certain stores. I also loved watching my adult sims reading with their toddler, it's so cute to watch them cuddle. And another thing I love about the Sims 3 is how the careers work, and life time wishes. Every time I completed a life time wish, I always felt so accomplished and satisfied. And favorites, I would love to see those come back!
I had an idea for The Sims 5. We should be forced to choose a flaw if we want more positive traits for our Sim. Like in Sims Medieval, but 2 traits and 1 fatal flaw wouldn't be enough, so maybe you could choose 4 traits and 2 flaws and so on. It could work with a point system, where you can spend your points "buying" positive traits and if you get short on points, you choose a flaw which will give you more points to spend. The number of points will vary, depending on how bad that trait is.
For example, imagine that I have 10 points to spend. I buy the following traits: Good (worth 4 points), Artistic (worth 3 points) and Friendly (worth 3 points). But I wanted more traits, so I buy a negative trait or flaw. I choose Clumsy (which gives me +3 points) and Unlucky (I get +4 points from it). Now I have 7 extra points to spend, so I get Hopeless Romantic (for 6 points) and Loves to swim (for 1 point).
This way I could make a Sim with so many traits, but also with so many flaws. It would be so fun to experiment with them. But of course, we would need MANY traits/flaws. Something like what we had in The Sims 3.
I've never thought about this but honestly this would add so much more depth to the sims
Yeah! This is how Project Zomboid does it and honestly it is unhinged and it fits perfectly into the Sims 2/Sims Medieval chaotic vibes that I remember.
@@LunaWitcherArt Yes! I think it's the perfect balance between The Sims 2 (where you had to assign points) and The Sims 3 (having cool and meaningful traits). Project Zomboid is amazing and I would give anything to have a Sims game that goes so in deep as PZ does.
@@bornxntuesday even if we just had a good base that could allow for modders to expand it like Project Zomboid would already be super nice. I love the character creation in that game, I can be deaf and it affects gameplay!
This would be an absolutely amazing function holy carp!
👏🏻 MEMORIES 👏🏻 I loved looking at their little journals of everything they’ve put in as a core memory and starting a new family and looking back at all that had already happened.
I miss memories! I loved going back and reading about my Sims' life events in the Sims 2. The lore they gave made pre-made Sims worth playing to me.

I would be soooo happy if they brought back the drumset/the ability to form a band with other sims, pls
And eyelashes, don't forget eyelashes
OMG SPIRAL STAIRS WE HAD THOSE AS EARLY AS IN SIMS 1 PETS WHY DON'T WE HAVE THEM ANYMORE????
@@LunaWitcherArt i know that's one of my primary pet peeves. because stairs in 4 take up so much space, and ladders don't- spiral staircases take up barely more space than a ladder, and are used like ACTUAL stairs!! and obviously, add a shit ton of style to an otherwise basic space, with one click !!
@@ihatemickiegee imagine the amount of style of having a space like Hill House where the spiral staircase in the library goes uninterrupted for like 2.5 to 3 floors??? I also want to be able to curve a freaking staircase. My lovely mansions -that I don't build- need it!!!
can’t believe you forgot the cooking animation in sims 2. the details of them going into cabinets to grab a bowl, using appliances etc.
I can agree with a lot of the stuff here (Especially Create-a-Style for CAS, the therapist and customizing the worlds). Other things I would really like to see are the ability to layer clothes like in Sims 2 for Console, the ease of which to move between worlds like Sims 4, a much better optimized Open World than Sims 3 and of course Build/Buy mode like Sims 4.
THE LAYERING YES ABSOLUTELY
I miss the floating head so much. I didn't spent 3 hours picking out eyebrows on my TS4 sim to not see her beautiful face roll her eyes at me when she looks around at her future actions, thank-yew.
The sims in ts3 were so unique individually and chaotic!!! I remember I was playing a single sim and she was going steady with Stiles McGraw and they eventually got engaged, but when I went over to play in his household I noticed that he had a full on girlfriend that wasn’t my sim, and like, two other romantic interests??? Even when I broke all of those off, when I play as one of his roommates he was living with for a few minutes and click back on him, HE’D BE AT IT AGAIN FLIRTING WITH OTHER WOMEN WHEN I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING TO INFLUENCE THAT!! It’s not like he had the noncommittal trait or anything, his whole life story is that he’s excessively average. He just did it on his own accord multiple times. It made third grade me so irritated but now as an adult I think it’s kinda funny lol
I want the level of quality in object designs we had in Sims 2 (mostly in later expansions). Just got it working again and there are so many nice items that are often times better than Sims 4! Honestly mindblowing!
I had no idea I smell like Victorian piss. 😭 I really just watched this to get Plumbella's opinions about what she's wants to see in the Sims 5 and ended up getting roasted. 😂
Oh, I 100% agree on traits and being able to set the length of each life stage! Those absolutely need to come back.
I just wish that we were able to choose the soundtrack. TS1 soundtrack was revolutionary, I listen to it daily while I do things
Also one thing that could be added to the map editor part: The sims 2 worlds were sc4 files, empty sim city 4 cities. In general, Sim City 4 was kinda well integrated into the sims games. I kinda wish, that Sims 5 releases together with a new Sim City game, bringing both games together, as it used to be the case.
SimCity can also double as a world creation tool
Including a scaled down version of sims city would maybe make the game worth the price
Wants and Fears in Sims 2 was great. So was making your own lots so you could make it as crowded or empty as you want.
Memory system from Sims 2 alkso. I liked going back to see things like first kiss with the certain person
Something I keep thinking about is how Emotions were supposed to be a big focal point in the sims4 yet it ended up feeling so emotionless/dead, things felt more eventful in the sims2 & 3 emotion & reaction wise! Also memories in the sims2 were really good when it came to focusing on story building - I miss the lore and potential for drama, they focused to much on making things too family friendly
I want to see what Sims have been up to since you last checked on them. When I load a household that now has enemies I want to know whyyy. The Sims 3 was so good at this. Also I want to be able to click on more things and use them. TS4 is 90% static aesthetic decor.
Yes to this right now don lothario is enemies with a guy from another town and i have no clue why! I hate it, at least other sim games i could see a fight happened while i wasn't playing them or they flirted with a crush!
I just made a new sim to live in Tartosa and for some reason the game had her preset with negative relationships with every member of the Laraunt (sp?) family... I've never had that happen before! It felt SO random.
I don't have any friends that play the Sims and I've yet to find a comment on a Sims channel where this has happened to anyone else. I feel like I'm missing something, for sure.
I would love for the Sims 5 to basically just be a remaster of the Sims 2 but with the open world from the Sims 3.
The Sims 2 is SO magical to me even today; I just find it hard to play now because of the 2000s style of CAS and Build/Buy objects and the quality of the graphics by today’s standard.
i just wanna see more respresentation for TS5.
body hair, height slider, better skin tones, that sort of thing.
TS4 was really disappointing with that sort of stuff.
i would also love more disability representation too. while we have cc, having assistive tech accessories like hearing aids, prosthetics, etc. would be nice. iirc, sims 3 had canes that a sim would use if it was in their inventory
@@sohfeeyuh yes! This is a big one!
Walked aides and wheelchairs, I would love to see a more accessible world. Ramps for front yards and stair lifts!!
The one thing I disagree with is height slider, I know a lot of people want that and while I agree it'd be cool, it's just not feasible from an animation perspective. They would have to put an INSANE amount of work into animations to make it work for so many different heights without clipping or distorted limbs. But I do want them to at least make teens shorter than adults again, they made teens the same height as adults in TS4 out of pure laziness just so they could re-use the same animations
The customisation level in Sims 3 is so perfect that I cannot fathom why they steered so far from it in 4. You can make any build mode item match another by making it the exact same colour and texture. It’s so hard to make things match and look good in 4 because you’ll get a nice window or couch and it matches absolutely nothing. Likewise for clothing, in 4 I’ll find a nice top and be like “well I don’t know what the creators wanted me to put this with because everything looks ridiculous or it doesn’t come in a colour that looks good”.
I need life stage meters back as well. Babies are babies for way too long and I often need just an extra day or two on toddlers. I want events like prom and school recitals back, as well as private schools from Sims 2.
YES omg I absolutely love the customization of TS3! Especially as someone with unconventional tastes, but even setting that aside it's just SO much easier to create cohesive looks and rooms with Create-A-Style. It really upsets me when I can't use the design I like because it doesn't come in the right color. It's super limiting and I end up only ever using the same few items. Create-A-Style gives so so much more creative freedom. You can so significantly change the aesthetic of an item by changing patterns and colors.
I would definitely keep the genetics from The Sims 2. I know hair and eye colors are pretty limited in there but the idea of some traits being recessive and other being dominant is so smart and realistic. It could absolutely work even if hair color and eye color were a spectrum. Simply, darker colors would be dominant and it would be a little more difficult for recessive (lighter) traits to show up. I know it can be a pain in the ass sometimes when most of the town ends up with black hair, but a possiblity of having undercover recessive genes that can show up in the next generations is amazing. It's always a nice surprise when the offspring gets a trait that wasn't expected to have yet it makes a lot of sense from genetics perspective. Another idea could be mixing those colors, like brown and blue eyes making green eyed child, or dark brown and blond hair making light brown hair. I think a proper genetics could be done very well in The Sims 5. It could be based on The Sims 2 idea but could be adjusted to give a little bit more possibilites. I personally love The Sims 2 system and it's a huge part of my gameplay to properly "breed" my sims to have hair and eye colors that I know are possible to get. It's much better than Sims 3 and 4 where you can change sim's hair color for blue and their kids end up with the same hair color.
the wants and fears in sims 4 is soooo disappointing the fears specifically how they always pop up no matter what, my sim got a comedy career jump from 3 to 10 and abt a 2k salary bonus and she got a “fear from dead end job” fear, and even when i turn them off they still pop up. i really miss how the fears were in ts2 they actually made sense and im specifically thinking about the want to cheat on your spouse but also fearing cheating on your spouse because in the real world im sure thats how it is. ts4 seems like only consequences with the fears but the consequences dont correlate very well to your actual sims. the only one thats done well is fear of death if your sims watches someome die, but that one was bugged for me as well as the fear of your spouse/partner cheating. i was doing the serial romancer aspiration i believe, where you date like 15 sims and the sim that gave my sim that fear my sim had already broken up with them so i couldnt get rid of the fear.
Yes to all of this! Also the additional buildings in town in the Sims 3 like the bookshop and grocery store, and the different places of work actually being physical places on the map, like the town hall and the sports arena!
I love how everyone in the comments are talking about and listing the things they genuinely miss about the previous Sims games while I'm over here giddy and smiling every time Plumbella mentions anything about Bucky Barnes 😂
For me the most important thing is making the sims actually feel alive, it's something that I think is lacking in The Sims 4. The other games did it well with interests, wants and fears, turn ons, personality points, more traits, and the most important imho are memories. I love how the Sims would remember something that happened which can either traumatise them, or make them happy. In the sims 4 someone can pass away and not long after their loved ones act as if nothing happened. I also really want to see certain items return, primarily objects from the Sims Superstar. Being able to record a jingle, walk down a runway, model for a photoshoot, record a music video/movie are really fun for me and the equivalents that have been released since then don't have the same impact.
I neeeeed interests from the sims 1 back. You had to read magazines to get more interested in what other sims were into to become their friends, otherwise your interactions would massively fail. And you couldn't pick their interests yourself, they just liked certain things. You could change it with magazines but I loved that there was a part of them that had nothing to do with my influence.
I just want for my Sims to have personality and dynamic gameplay again. Sims 4 is so sterile, it's no wonder babies are bloody useless.
I played the sims 2 as an adult after the sims 3, my formative years were in the sims 3, and I still think sims 2 is superior. The lack of control over personalities and goals is top tier. I like being lazy and letting my sims tell a story instead of having to tell them the story.
i actually had a dream that i was playing ts5 and it had an open world and i woke up wondering if it was real and i almost cried
Agree with everything! The jungle gym you showed from sims 1 is interesting. I didn't play that one so I hadn't seen it before. We definitely need more things like that and small things in general.
I absolutely love the honesty of Jesse. I am struggling too bestie, absolutely drowning! Wishing you & your family well, love ya all.
the thing I miss most is having an open world like in the sims 3, and not having to load an entire lot every time you leave your house. :(
I really loved the gameplay in the Sims 3 and I hope a lot of it comes back. Also LORE I want the town to have a story. Hope you get to feeling better babes❤️
I just don’t understand why they’re not adding the small things we’ve loved so much from the last games. They literally have done it before and know exactly what we want. Especially the small, random and chaotic things happening in the sims 2. I’ve been playing The Sims 4 since around 2018 I think and my stove has probably set on fire like once. Honestly that’s boring hahaha
They simply do not give a shit about the game anymore, they just want easy money. They know people will pay regardless. The pervious games were made with love, The Sims 4 was made with only greed
I would like to see back the payable venues from sims 2 - makes owning a nightclub or museum or pool or anything really more interesting gameplay wise (maybe lose the part where they stand looking at entrance deciding to go in or not part though)
Oh and being able to customise seasons - I hate playing Sulani and it's raining and snowing (I'd planned a beach wedding and it was snowing) Love being able to make it summer all year round, or winter for the skiing place.
Yeah, they let us turn on or off certain aspects of neighborhood stories now--what's allowed to happen to unplayed households, etc.--it would be nice if we were given more control over other things like seasons, or the possibility to turn off occult sims depending on the save file. I like having them overall and playing with occult sims deliberately, but don't necessarily want a vampire breaking into my more realistic suburban homes all the time.
I wish watering flowers would come back from sims 1. Like we had to water indoor plants. That was fun.
tbh the room need is already in TS3, but in the shape of moodlets.
TS4 butchered them tho
I always found them funny, putting a sim in a dark room and their moodlet being like "help I can't see anything gimme a window pls"
@@thepokemonqueen omg same
Sims2 always felt like such a personal experience, each Sim had their own personality, and each family felt so different from the next. In sims 4, I feel like it’s all generally the same. There’s no consequences for any actions, like when a partner cheats on another, nothing really happens.
I miss having memories, it was always fun to look back & see what impacted your sim throughout their life.
I'm really curious how, according to reports, EA wanting to merge or sell to another company will infuence the development of The Sims 5. If I recall correctly even Comcast of all companies was considering buying it, that would be catastrophic
I swear to God if anything more disastrous happens to this franchise I'll just let the wolves eat it and encourage the current team to go join Paralives or something.
I love the new system of likes and dislikes and really hope the expand on it to make your sims more unique. Adding things like food, drinks, tv shows, more activities(because we're very limited to cooking, singing and and such)
YES! And I want there to be an option where you can decide whether an unfavorited sim’s gravestone can go straight to a graveyard when they die. Like instead of the graves just disappearing they’ll go straight to a graveyard
It’s the open world which for me just made the town seem so much more real and alive, plus being able to customise pretty much everything from sims 3 that I miss to the point I still haven’t really crossed over to sims 4. As one of the few that managed to get the sims 3 builder to work lol, being able to build my own custom open world 👌🏾👌🏾✨ can’t beat it if they could put the world builder in the game that would be amazing
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Sims 2 memories feature. I didn't get to play Sims 2 on PC because I didn't have a PC I only played it on console and its a whole different thing but the memories that I've heard so much about really interest me and I would like to see it come back along with wants and fears.
I miss the little sleeping animations from the sims 3 like couples sleeping together cuddling, kids waking up from a nightmare and then going back to sleep on their own or crawling into bed with a parent and gettin hugged. I miss pets getting up on the bed and sleepin with ya.
And i miss the collectible birds flying through the house at warp speed if you had doors open.
The best thing about sims 2 is if you have simcity 2000 you can create y our own custom terrains. Literally everything was possible to make as your own.
They should just straight up have a neighbourhood creator in TS5 that let's you do everything from choosing the size to morphing the land to laying down the roads to placing rabbit holes to placing land and houses. Basically the world editor from TS3 except much better optimized and built straight into the actual game.
The more customization the better.
GET WELL SOOOOON
I feel like in the Sims 5 we should have worlds similar to the Sims 2 where the worlds are semi-open which would also mean the worlds wouldn't make the game as laggy as the Sims 3.
Yeah I still to this day can't get over the fact that the 4th entry in this franchise has less neighbourhood customization than the game that came out 10 years before it.
Everytime I try to give ts4 another chance, literally the first thing I see when loading up the game is how much of a backwards step the game is and most of the time I don't even make it into live mode before I quit and load up TS2 or TS3 instead.
If there's one thing I would absolutely love to have back for The Sims 5, it's zodiac signs. I understand not everyone is going to be down for this but with me mainly playing The Sims 2, I feel zodiacs add much more depth to the Sims gameplay. Especially if you add compatibility to them. For example, if there is a Sim who is a Cancer and you try to hook them up with a Sim who is a Aries, it would be kind of difficult since they aren't that compatible. But if they were a Taurus, it would be easier. I love that about Sims 2 and 3, but I feel 2 has much more depth to it.
I liked the traits and like/dislikes system for dating from the Sims 2. It was a fun way to add some personality.
Some sort of compatibility system in general would be amazing!
I miss the cut scenes from Sims 2. They're such strong memories still
In the sims 3 how sometimes when you started a new household and loaded into a new lot and there will have been a water leak, meteor fall, or the house is on fire
I also want them to invest effort on making intricate and interesting stories with depth. I loved watching the photos of the families and figuring out what was their story was, also the scripted events in sims 2.
I miss scripted events so much! It was the main reason for delving into playing townies.
I want the sims 3 prom back!!
7:34 WTF? Is that a freaking SECTIONAL COUCH?! Why did TS2 have a sectional, but TS4 has these stupid “bench couches” and other asinine types of couches?! Watching this infuriates me, because it shows how much EA has really gotten “PAY TO PLAY” with The Sims franchise, and that it really has lost a lot of its heart, but we’re all dumb enough to buy for nostalgia and $500-750 later; our sims still cannot differentiate between washing their plates off in the KITCHEN sink (5 ft away) versus walking up to the 3rd floor of a house, and washing their plates off in the BATHROOM SINK…smh…i sure do miss the old Sims gameplay and depth and feel of their worlds…TS4 is good but very hollow, and with years and NEW CONTENT etc announced and planned. The least they could do is, remaster and offer us all the ITEMS, SONGS, WALLPAPERS, THEMES, etc from the previous games into DLC packs…that would reinvigorate the game and bring back the customization and depth that we deserve for being committed fans for over 20 years now
my daily morning routine is making coffee, finding a bit of breakfast, and watching/catching up on your videos while struggling thru wordle. its my favorite routine ever :) thank you for providing comfort for me
I desperately want Create-A-Style, it was one of the best things to ever happen to the game imo. As long as they ALSO have a good set of swatches there is no reason not to have it, people who don't want that level of customization can just use the swatches instead. It'd be so easy to make both options available....
Also I desperately want an open world, my play style often involves sending different household members to different locations. I want to be able to do that while still controlling all of them, not having to choose which lot to be on. I know this slows down the game but maybe it can be customizable? Like there could be three options in the game settings: one for a fully open world, one semi-open where you can access nearby lots but not the whole world, and one closed where it's just the current lot. So people can choose depending on their computer's performance or personal preference.
OMG JUST REMEMBERED, another thing I desperately want is non-mutual relationships like in The Sims 2! I want two sims to be able to feel differently about each other. Unrequited crushes, hating someone who still likes you, etc. SO much more fun for gameplay when relationships don't necessarily go both ways!
I miss memories so much, it really helped build so much not just for your sim but the townies!! I miss 2 and 3 features so much while playing 4 its actually really sad.
I want magic come back from Sims 1 in the exact way it was done there. It was SO good and engaging. Dont even let me start on music in Magic Town. Magic in Sims 2-3 had a really different vibe to me.
OMG as a kid I thought the music in Magic Town was so scary!! :D You’re right, it was just such a unique and specific vibe that hasn’t been back since….
everytime i see the bucky moodboard background, i am filled with joy
well, joy and immense amounts of pain
I really hope Sims 5 will have a memory system like Sims 2
The Take That tribute is everything!
I liked the multiple swatches for a single items different parts and the attractions system in Sims 2
Also the favorite food in Sims 3
I just miss the chaos and unhingedness of Sims 2 and 1 so much! More chaos and consequences!
Petition for Plumbella to be Chief Executive Idea Haver for Sims 5
At 6:29 you can see the reflection of the UFO flying around over the water. I always got so excited when that popped up in my neighborhoods!
I agree with most of these.
What I miss the most though is the little details like the TV randomly falling off the wall in the Sims 2, the cuddle in bed, the laying about/jumping on the sofa. Those little things made the game a life sim.
I definitely want cars, better babies, memory system, attractive system, supermarkets from Sims 2, wants and fears and hotels from Sims 3 back in the Sims 5.
I 100% agree with you on everything, probably because I also played the Sims 2 during my brain-formative years :D My No.1 would be for Wishes and Fears to come back, they were such good story prompts and made it feel like your Sims were reacting to their environment and had internal motivations.
I like the incentives sims 2 had too. Like food bringing up hunger but if u grow ur produce and cook with it, the hunger bar fills up so much faster. The way open for business was. I had a farm family who grew all the produce possible and fish and sold it in their farmers market community lot which obviously was more expensive but it’s fresh and u don’t have to grow your own food. And going on vacation or university to get extra want slots. The aspiration perks and getting a secondary aspiration. Ugh so good honestly
