Controversial but with Sims 5, adult players need to be prioritised - not kids. We’re the ones with disposable income to actually invest in the franchise. Don’t make it overly childish or cute, we can handle some drama, tragedy and scandal

It’s so obvious what EA are doing to the Sims. Diluting packs so they can divide content into separate games then charge us multiple times over. Despite their claims, we’re not seeing the benefit of ‘specific, individual focus’ of packs, it’s shallower than ever!
#Sims4
#TheSims
The amount of worlds in Sims 4 overwhelming & inefficient. I’d much rather the sims team focused on gameplay instead of wasting their resources constantly pushing out new maps . It’d be better to have fewer worlds which are larger but more detailed. LESS = MORE 🌎
#Sims4
We’ve went from having huge, editable neighbourhoods where we had the freedom to place lots of any size in almost any location in TS2 / TS3 to ‘worlds’ with 5 - 15 fixed lots in TS4. 💀 Nobody can gaslight me into believing this is an evolution of the franchise.
#TheSims
#Sims4
We want a baby overhaul, but what does that mean? Let’s discuss 👶🏼
#Sims4
#TheSims
- Babies that can be picked up, walked around with and put down
- Strollers
- More interactions e.g pass baby to others/ show off baby
- Changing table, bottle maker, bouncers
- MORE ANIMATED
Very unlikely but I wish EA would stop focusing on targeting children so heavily with Sims 5. So many adults have been loyal players over the years and invested into to the franchise. It often feels we are pushed aside for the younger generation.
#Sims5
#TheSims
The Sims has such a diverse audience of fans; I’m nervous the new branding is suggesting the franchise is preparing to focus their marketing on a younger audience and leave older simmers behind? It all looks very sterile and childish to me. Like a kids tv studio.
#TheSims
#Sims5
Personally, I’m not too interested in The Sims 5 embracing the latest technology e.g. multiplayer, mobile, gallery uploads using photos etc I want the focus to be on gameplay, lore, open world functionality and compelling sims with unique personalities
#TheSims
#Sims5
If Cottage Living & Horse Ranch were combined as one Farming / Rural expansion pack, it would’ve been great value for money or 2 individual game packs. I know they are slightly different themes but not distinct enough to warrant 2 expansion packs in my opinion
#TheSims
#Sims4
We need more types of relationships including ‘open’, one-sided. An attraction system complimented by a turn on/ offs, varying reactions to cheating eg. the ‘mistress’ in an affair doesn’t get jealous seeing the ‘official’ couple being romantic. More interactions!
#Sims4
#TheSims
EA are clearly not listening to us or giving the SimGuru’s the resources or permission to create the content we want so it’s time so hit them where it hurts. They are ruining the Sims franchise - stop buying packs until there’s change!

Instead of Sims just choosing what career to join; I’d like to have ‘entry requirements’ for some jobs as well as tasks which need completing for rabbit hole interviews, sudden job demotions & losses due to company cuts etc. Maybe pay & shift changes for realism
#Sims4
#TheSims4
The Paranormal Stuff pack was great in terms of content & value for money. Perhaps not everyone’s style of play but it’s definitely one of the most universally praised releases which makes it so frustrating that EA cut stuff packs right after. It’s been 2.5 years
#Sims4
#TheSims
As if The Sims had the nerve to post this on their story with confidence.... Can somebody show me where I can find this animated, non-object baby please? I don’t recognise her.
#TheSims
#Sims4
Concept: Moving trucks, boxes and ‘sold’ signs on properties when a sim first moves in. Just small additions but would add an extra layer of realism. Perhaps even more depth when it comes to increases & decreases in real estate value based on different factors?
#TheSims
#Sims4
1/ How would y’all feel about a health-based pack focusing on physical & mental ailments? I know for some, this issue is a little ‘too real’ but I think representation & inclusivity is necessary. And it could be added sensitively with an option to toggle them off?
#TheSims
#Sims4
I hope the SimsGuru’s now realise how much Simmers care about the lore & backstories. Having an ‘alternative timeline’ where characters have different personalities & Family Trees is just laziness (SimsWiki literally exists) No excuse. DON’T BREAK THE LORE! 👮🏽♀️
#Sims5
#TheSims
Remember how in Sims 2 Bon Voyage, we were able to invite houseguests over for 3 days? I’d love that interaction back, it would be great for divorced / co-parent families as well as adding some depth to storylines where wider family members come and visit

I wish they’d bring back private schools & add boarding schools. It would help add some much needed game play for the child life stage. Also, play dates, school projects, parents being called into school for bad behaviour/ poor results. More social interactions
#Sims4
#TheSims
Remember in The Sims 2 when a limo would come pick up newlyweds and take them away for a few hours (whilst I’m assuming they had sex) then they’d come back with their fun bar increased? Wild. 😂
#TheSims
#Sims2
Please can we get meaningful memories back? I loved exploring a sim’s past by reading all of their experiences. It added depth to a character and it also helped illustrate their life stories beautifully!
#TheSims
One of the issues Sims 4 is having is the community doesn’t feel as though we’re getting value for money cause of the introduction of ‘game packs’ which has now blurred the lines between what makes a game, stuff & expansion etc. Packs are watered down and divided
#Sims4
#EAListen
The Sims 3 World Adventures wasn’t appreciated enough. We got 3 worlds: France, China & Egypt as well as fun tasks and unique interactions. It actually had some depth and replay-ability
#TheSims
#Sims5
Why are the CAS relationship options Still so limited? We even had the Fiancé / Partner choice in Sims 3. Missing: Cousin, Partner, Grandparent, Uncle, Aunt, Step-Parent & The ability to pre-make divorced Sims!

My Wishlist for the

- More romance interactions
- Improved memory system
- World progression
- Generations overhaul so each life stage is unique & interesting
- Consequences to actions
- Meaningful Aspirations
Then I’ll be satisifed

I still haven’t forgiven the Sims team for insulting us with Magnolia Promenade! What made them think this was acceptable, 4 Lots?!

I’ll never forget the moment I first launched The Sims 4 and saw the original maps. My heart sank... the biggest scam of the century 😭 Let’s be thankful for progress
#TheSims

In the future, I hope they go back to allowing us more control in editing worlds! I especially loved being able to place lots wherever I wanted (within reason) as well as changing their appearance/ adding monuments to make worlds feel more unique & interesting
#TheSims
#EAListen
I’m praying Sims 5 isn’t too cartoony / childlike. More adults play The Sims and we have the disposable income to buy packs. If the next generation is going to be around 10+ years, PLEASE don’t forget about the many older simmers who enjoy realism, storylines & consequence

If we have anymore supernatural / Science-fiction packs, I hope there’s an ‘alternative world’ with gameplay for occults (especially Aliens) I also wouldn’t mind seeing the return of Werewolves and Zombies as well with some lore

The emotions are one of the main problems with Sims 4. They fluctuate too rapidly and are quite shallow. I’d much rather we had a mixture of wants / fears & moodlets. Emotions were supposed to be the main selling point of this iteration but they’re just annoying?
#Sims4
#TheSims
I wouldn’t recommend anyone getting their hopes up for the Sims 4’s 6th anniversary on Wednesday. I’m saying this from a long history of disappointment, not to be negative. If we have no expectations, we can’t be let down. But it seems like something’s brewing 🤔
#Sims4
#TheSims
It’s been almost 2 years since Spa Day was updated… are we getting anymore improvements and updates for any other packs or was that it?
#Sims4
#TheSims
I still can’t get over how EA thought it was acceptable to sell us an incomplete game at launch? No matter what packs/ updates get added, I just feel like The Sims 4 will never truly get the base overhaul it needs to solve the issues it has unfortunately
#EAListen

#TheSims
For a Teen rated game, Sims 4 seems mostly targeted towards children? The players who’ve grown up with the franchise & continue to play have been forgotten about. We want messy storylines, drama, tragedy, personality, DEPTH. Everything’s just too pretty, happy and dull
#TheSims4
While I sometimes complain about how long updates take & lack of content in packs; I also give EA / SimGuru’s credit where it’s due. Ladders, Firefighters, Repomen are content which they could’ve charged us for - so thanks for all the free updates coming! 👏🏼

The Sims 2 Nightlife was such an amazing pack filled with interactions, objects & most importantly, gameplay. This is what expansion packs should be like!
#TheSims
#EAListen
Confirmed: All residential worlds (excluding Strangerville) will have the additional pollution gameplay that comes from Eco Lifestyle. (With the option to toggle off) This adds value & helps justify why it is an expansion pack in my opinion? I’m more excited now!
#TheSims

There’s no good reason The Sims 5 can’t have an open world that runs smoothly. I won’t accept anyone more excuses from a billion dollar company.

Playing more of Sims 3 recently has made me appreciate how important the colour wheel for hair was for helping create truly unique Sims. I know we’re seeing more ombré in Sims 4 lately which is good, but I’m hopeful we can see the CW return in the future
#TheSims
#Sims5
Wait, hold on. So EA provided Game-Changers with early access to the Werewolf pack the DAY BEFORE it’s released to the public and it had a glitch which meant the Werewolves were missing?! 💀 Don’t waste your money on this pack until we know it’s fixed. How embarrassing.
#TheSims
How would everyone feel if the upcoming “major first game pack” had a space exploration theme? I’m more of an every-day, family storyteller player but I could get behind this, it would given Aliens more gameplay value and it’s something unique?
#TheSims
#Sims4
I want justice for the newspaper delivery Sims! I know times have changed, but there’s still plenty of people who enjoy reading papers? I’d like to see them added in a free update. I know it’s something small but these little details help add context, setting etc
#Sims4
#TheSims
Surely there’s a way we can compromise and have a functional, create a style back in The Sims? Not an excessive amount of choice like Sims 3, but more flexibility than Sims 4, so maybe having a small number of patterns with a colour wheel?
#TheSims
#Sims5
#TheSims5
I’m not sure how logistically possible it would be for the Sims team to edit worlds at this point, but there is so much wasted space in some of the worlds, During the revamps; I’d like to see more lots added to make these locations more viable & appealing to use.
#TheSims
#Sims4
I’d love to see a ‘Real Estate’ pack. It would be a game changer and a cool way to introduce hotels, renting and mortgages as well as the ageing of properties, value of houses, renovations and repairs. It would add more challenge to every-day gameplay
#TheSims
#Sims4
With 3 packs on the way, this means we’re also getting new worlds! I’d assume we’d definitely get 1 with the expansion & probably 1 with the game pack. I’m leaning towards a resort/ holiday snow world for the GP and would love a large, colourful world with EXP
#TheSims
#Sims4
How can they deny it when the simple fact is; they’re choosing to allocate their resources into constantly pumping out lazy content (a few CAS items & buy objects) for a quick cash grab instead of addressing the bugs, glitches and severe LACK OF GAMEPLAY?!

The 1st Sims channel I remember was The Quxxn (Veneshia Peoples) Who unfortunately passed away in 2013. I still remember her laugh, her infectious personality & passion for the Sims franchise. Her legacy lives on in all of us who are part of the community. RIP QUXXN 🕯💜
#TheSims
I don’t want to see any ‘alternative timeline’ nonsense in future Sims games. Developers should make the effort to research character backgrounds / lore and build upon it to continue the legacies and stories of iconic Sims as well as creating new families.
#TheSims
#EAListen
I’d never want The Sims to be elitist but if Sims 5 is gonna last for 10+ years, I hope they aim it towards medium - high-end computers. Nobody’s forced to swap straight over & that’s a lot of time to save up. We need to see an evolution and can’t be held back
#TheSims
#Sims5
@SimGuruFrost
WE WANT:
- SIMS 2 STYLE, MEANINGFUL MEMORIES!
- CAS COLOUR WHEEL FOR HAIR
& SKIN
- MORE RELATIONSHIP OPTIONS IN CAS (E.G STEP-PARENT)
- MORE TRAITS WITH THE ABILITY TO CHOOSE INTENSITY
- ADDITIONAL GAMEPLAY FOR ELDERS & BABIES
- REAL ESTATE, HOTEL & BUSINESS IMPROVEMENTS
PLEASE make an ‘Open World’ for Sims 5? I know there were issues with the Sims 3 (lagging & empty lots) but surely with technology advancements, it should be possible now, a decade later? If not, I’d like to see larger worlds with open neighbourhoods
#Sims5
#TheSims5

Controversial but I actually liked The Sims 3 store. It was a cash grab, but It was great for giving us access to the specific & targeted content we wanted as individuals & while freeing the developers to properly focus on expansions & stuff packs

In Sims 2, they took the time to add descendants as part of a Sims’ backstory/ heritage. I don’t know why they stopped adding this level of detail or why they don’t stick to a consistent family tree (Katrina / Nighat Caliente?) 😐 These things matter!
#EAListen
#TheSims
#Sims5
With Sims 5, I hope EA rethink the DLC model. It’s become very messy and hard to distinguish between game, stuff and expansion packs. Content is divided into 2/3 packs and still doesn’t have depth. The DLC format needs an overhaul to be more clear & transparent
#Sims5
#TheSims
I’ve played the Sims since the beginning; it was my ‘safe place’ where I could be who I wanted in the world I designed. It was an escape from the real world as well as being the perfect tool to help explore my creativity! I’ve finally found a community I belong in
#PlayWithLife
Sorry but Sims 5 needs to be an evolution. It can’t be held back because people can’t / won’t buy a decent computer to run it. There’s console & mobile options for those people and nobody is forcing them to swap straight over.
