The Sims 4is a really fun life simulation game that allows players to create a character, known as a Sim, and control everything about their life. Players can customize their Sim’s appearance, personality, and everything about their life from where they live and work to who they befriend and even marry.

This game is constantly getting new features in the form of Expansion Packs, Game Packs, and Stuff Packs. These add new features, new items, and sometimes even new neighborhoods for our Sims to live in. Although we totally love all the features that the game already has to offer us, there are still some things that would make an already fun game that much more amazing.
To see 10 things that we hope to see added toThe Sims 4in the new year, keep reading!
10More Staircase Styles
For some fans ofThe Sims 4, the best part of the game is building a house. Although a big focus of the game is controlling the life of your Sim, it’s also important to make sure that they have somewhere to live. There are a ton of amazing items to help build the perfect house for your Sim, but there are a few more items we’d like to see.
One of the main things we want to see in build mode is more types of staircases. There are already quite a few with some really cool railings, but there are some that weneed. For instance, spiral staircases and ladders have yet to be added to the game.
9More Supernatural Creatures
We’ve been pretty lucky to get quite a unique blend of different creatures inThe Sims 4. Although we’re still definitely free to create human Sims, we also have the option to make a variety of different supernatural creatures like Spellcasters, mermaids, aliens, and vampires. Pretty cool, right?

These supernatural options are a ton of fun, but we’re definitely hoping to have some more added to the game in the future. Having other supernatural creatures like werewolves and fairies would make the supernatural fun even better.
8Bunk Beds
It’s a lot of fun to decorate rooms and get really creative with the layout and the furniture that goes in them. AfterDiscover Universitywas announced, many players were excited for the thought of all thedorm room-related itemsthat would be added to the game! And we did get stuff like new posters, a mini-fridge, and some new food items that can be cooked in dorm rooms.
But unfortunately, one of the items that people were anticipating didn’t make it into the game. One thing thatThe Sims 4has been seriously missing is bunk beds! Some talented members of theSimscommunity used to make CC bunk beds, but unfortunately, an update made it so they no longer work.
7More For Toddlers
Toddlers were added intoThe Sims 4after a long wait. This life stage was missing from the game for quite a while, so players were excited to finally get to see their Sims' children grow up and go through this part of their lives.

Although we did get theToddler StuffStuff Pack and have gotten a few toddler items here and there in other packs and updates, we want more! Toddlers are the one life stage that is often ignored when it comes to new packs, unfortunately. Hopefully, more toddler items will be added to future packs so we don’t have to rely solely on CC clothes and hair for them.
6Memories
A lot of features from pastSimsgames have made their way intoThe Sims 4. Although we definitelydon’tmiss everything from past games, there are also a lot of fun ones thatdidn’t make their way back into this game. Memories are one thing that appeared in past games likeThe Sims 2that should be brought back!
When your Sim had a significant experience, like having a first kiss or growing up well from childhood into their teen years, they would get a memory about it. Some of these memories would be good while others would be less so. For people that are heavily focused on the story of their Sims, this feature is a ton of fun.
5Farms (& Farm Animals)
There are a ton of different lifestyles that your Sims can have inThe Sims 4. Whether you want your Sim to be a total city slicker who lives in San Myshuno in an apartment or a Spellcaster that calls Glimmerbrook home, you’ve got all kinds of options.

But, there’s one lifestyle that’s missing from the game. Living in a wonderful house in Willow Creek with a cat, dog, or Void Critter is a lot of fun, but what if our Sims want something more? Having a pack in the future that focuses on having a farm with crops and animals would be perfect.
4More Active Careers
There arequite a few different careersinThe Sims 4. Your Sim can do anything from becoming a scientist to a freelance artist, politician, or even social media influencer. Seriously, there’s a job for just about everything in this game. Some of these careers are active careers, meaning that you can go with your Sim to their workday.
Unfortunately, not every career inThe Sims 4is an active one. This means there are some careers in which our Sims simply go to work and then come home after their shift ends. Hopefully, in 2020, we’ll get more active careers added to the game.
3Turn Ons & Offs
The Sims 4has a ton of ways to customize our Sims' personalities and really make them unique. But, there aren’t a lot of ways to set what makes them attracted (or unattracted) to other Sims. This is something that was present in past games but has since been removed from the franchise.

In previous games likeThe Sims 2, players were able to set their Sims' turn-ons and offs. They could be things like wearing glasses, having brown hair, or being good at cooking. These things had a major impact on the attraction system, another feature that has been removed from this installment in the series.
2Cars
In past games, Sims were able to purchase a car and have it parked in front of their house. They’d then drive it whenever they were going somewhere, instead of simply walking away and disappearing. InThe Sims 2, players could even fix up and sell cars!
Although this is something minor and it really doesn’t change the way the game works, the fact that cars haven’t been added back into the game yet is something that many fans are disappointed with. We can see them parked and driving around in the world, so why don’t we have them yet?
1Online Dating
Since online dating is so big in the real world these days, it’s kind of surprising that it doesn’t appear inThe Sims 4. There was an online dating system inThe Sims 3that allowed Sims to create a profile, reply to messages, and meet up with other Sims.
Considering the fact that online dating and dating apps have become so popular in recent years, the fact that the online dating system was removed from the game is a total bummer. Seeing a revamped version added toThe Sims 4in 2020 would be amazing.
