#over sharing

I've seen a few people listing things they would like to see in the Sims 4 in 2025, and I thought it would be fun to do one of my own.

1. NPC Control - I want an option to turn off random sims from spawning in my game. I already have over 200 made over townies waiting in the homeless section, just waiting to be used. Along side this, I'd also like an option to assign townies of my choosing for NPC job roles. I don't want to see premade sims tending bars and stalls. It ruins the immersion and lore of said premades to see them like this.

2. CAS content specifically for infants - I’m going to need at least 20 new hairstyles. The lack of options right now is just not good. And when I say new hairstyles, I mean new age appropriate hairstyles. No lazy adult conversions that will look completely ridiculous on them.

3. Occult Overhaul for Aliens, Mermaids and Plant Sims - I'm of the belief that all occults should be treated fairly. Aliens, Mermaids and PlantSims deserve to have skill trees and be as good as the other occult life states gameplay wise...

Aliens - I'd like to see a whole pack revolving around them, obviously I want the above mentioned skill tree included. I would also like them to receive an appearance link option in CAS for quick easy appearance sharing between human/alien appearance, and, I want Sixam to be remade into a fully functional livable world. Mermaids - For Mermaids, I'd like them to have a skill tree, plus underwater exploration that isn't a rabbit hole. I'm sure this can somehow be achieved, even with the limitations of the Sims 4. PlantSims - Skill tree, permanent life state, and all the fun gameplay that PlantSims are known for in the previous Sims games. I've never played with PlantSims. However, I want to, but not as they are currently in The Sims 4. 

4. More Animations - Lots of them...

Social animations - More toned down animations that don't involve sims contorting their bodies in weird positions and waving their arms around constantly. I get sick of seeing them repeat the same animations while conversing with other sims. Repairing animations - More unique animations for repairing different items. The use of the electrical circuit board is so overused and doesn't even make sense for many of the repairs. General animations - More variation is always welcome.

5. Snow Depth - I still want it.

6. More Pet Types - Anybody that follows me knows I love animals.

7. A Hobby Pack - I want many more interesting and fun things for sims to do in their free time. Alongside this, I want a hobby discovery system where sims can discover through gameplay what their hobby interests will be. I currently use @missy-hissy's hobby mod for this. However, I always think it's better to need less mods for the game.
