Almost a full decade after its launch, The Sims 4 has loads of content material to supply as much as its gamers each time they make a brand new save. Whether or not you’re taking part in the bottom sport or have each enlargement launched, there’s loads to do on this life simulator.

However, sadly, the sport doesn’t have every little thing that the collection is understood for. Proper from the launch, collection staples have been lacking, and followers are nonetheless asking EA for them to at the present time. These are options from earlier video games that we wish again in The Sims 4.

Options followers wish to make a comeback to The Sims

1. Create a Fashion

Considered one of, if not the perfect facet of The Sims 3, was the well-known Create a Fashion device. For the uninitiated, this function would let you change the sample, texture, and shade of almost every little thing within the sport. This included each garments and furnishings.

Followers have been devastated when it was revealed that Create a Fashion had been lower for the fourth installment as a consequence of efficiency issues, which is a large loss, seeing because the customization skills have been limitless. Now, followers should dwell with a restricted variety of swatches as a substitute. We might like to see this function be introduced again.

2. Fairies

The Sims 4 has achieved an ideal job of increasing the supernatural life states which can be obtainable, together with vampires, spellcasters, and werewolves. Nonetheless, there’s a key one lacking, and that’s fairies. Launched within the third sport, fairies have been refreshingly vibrant and exquisite in comparison with the spooky aura of the remainder of the Supernatural enlargement.

Evidently, this life state has not been launched into the fourth sport. Followers as a substitute must depend on customized content material and mods in the event that they wish to be a magical fairy dwelling in a cute cottage within the forest inflicting mischief. What a disgrace.

3. Burglars

Was there something extra terrifying than the burglar music from the unique Sims? Not that I can bear in mind. Burglars added a little bit of problem to the sport, with these sticky-handed Sims taking a few of your most precious gadgets at the hours of darkness.

They’ve been a staple of the collection for the reason that unique sport, and have been included in each entry — till The Sims 4. There aren’t any burglars within the fourth installment, and that’s an actual disgrace. It made the gameplay far more thrilling and made gamers admire each one among their gadgets a bit extra.

4. Automobiles

What’s a bustling Sim metropolis with out limitless site visitors to get caught in? One which feels rather a lot much less lifelike. Automobiles have been first added to the collection in The Sims 2 and caught round as the easiest way to journey within the third installment. However, in The Sims 4, vehicles have been downgraded to nothing greater than set dressing. 

As an alternative, your Sims simply disappear into the void after they go to exit rather a lot. Whereas vehicles didn’t change up the gameplay that a lot, as you couldn’t truly drive them, they made the sport that rather more lifelike. Plus, what’s a dream mansion with no gorgeous sports activities automobile within the entrance?

5. Singer Profession

The Get Well-known enlargement pack for the fourth sport helps you to dive deep into fame, however in contrast to earlier installments, it doesn’t allow you to do that as a singer. Positive, appearing and content material creation are enjoyable to play with, however they’re simply not the identical.

There not solely is not any capability to be a well-known singer however there’s no method to type a band, both. For anybody who was satisfied they have been going to be a rock star sometime, that is very limiting. It may not be probably the most very important factor lacking from The Sims 4, however I need it again all the identical.

6. Open World

This one is probably going nothing greater than a pipe dream, seeing as how the whole core gameplay mannequin of Sims 4 would must be reworked to incorporate this. However the open world was so fashionable in The Sims 3, that it’s a surprise why it was eliminated within the first place.

As an alternative of getting a whole world to discover with out limits, gamers are pressured to endure limitless loading screens simply to get to a unique lot. That is playtime wasted, and plenty of followers are nonetheless salty that Sims 4 selected to eliminate the open world. Maybe we are able to get our hopes up for the fifth sport.

7. Dying from eradicating the pool ladder

Is that this one sensible or lifelike? Not within the slightest. However it’s such a beloved function from the franchise that I need it again anyway. It was a proper of passage to kill at the very least a handful of Sims by letting them go for a swim solely to delete their exit.

Dying as an entire is a bit sanitized within the fourth sport, with ghosts given just about all the skills of dwelling Sims and a number of methods to convey them again to life. So to remove one of the crucial legendary deaths within the collection appears like an additional kick to followers. It may not occur in actual life, however I’d love for it to occur to my Sims as soon as extra.

8. Create your individual world

The Sims 2 featured one thing fairly particular, which was the power to choose from an enormous template of cityscapes and construct your individual world to mess around in. Need to make your hometown? Possibly New York Metropolis? It’s straightforward to do with the Create a World function.

Sadly, this hasn’t proven up in another Sims entries, though you have been free to position extra empty tons within the third sport. This has additionally been eliminated, and now gamers are caught with premade worlds that provide no customization in addition to the tons already positioned. It’s very limiting, and we’d like to see this function come again.

9. Aspiration Failure

Sims have a set of wants they must maintain as a way to be glad and wholesome, similar to actual folks. In previous video games, they’ve additionally needed to full desires and objectives as a way to stay glad, additionally like in actual life. In Sims 4? Nothing. 

Aspiration failure added a stage of problem to the sport, because it was mandatory not solely to maintain them bodily wholesome, however mentally as properly. Sims felt extra dynamic, and we’d like to see that put again into the franchise.

10. Zodiac Indicators

Even the unique Sims had these. Astrology is nowhere to be present in Sims 4, and these days the one method to get your fill of zodiac within the sport is to obtain mods or customized content material. This can be a actual disgrace as a result of it’s by no means a foul factor for Sims to have extra character. 

It’s comprehensible that they didn’t need personalities totally depending on a Sim’s signal, because it was within the first two titles, however not even having the ability to select it in any respect looks like an enormous step again. It simply appears unusual to take away zodiac indicators altogether. EA ought to simply put them again into the sport.
