weightlessmagic383 Comments

This is a list of things that Sims Freeplay players would like to see in future updates, if you would like to add something to this list please read it first before posting the same suggestions then leave a comment below!

 Opening game

Stop the bombardment of pop ups when you open the game:

  • Stop saying when bingo and competitions are on, they are always on
  • List everyone who has to go to work or has finished work together so we don’t have to click on several different pop ups

 Sims

  • More outfits/ clothes/ shoes:

-“because it seems like everytime I get more outfits from completing a quest in the time limit or something it’s just outfits that they deleted from the game in the past”

-Bring back some of the clothes you took away from adults but gave to teens

  • More hairstyles:

-‘better hair styles like longer hairstyles and Katniss hair.’ Not just by completing the quest!

  • Be able to have more than 4 sims living in one house.
  • Be able to have more than 10 sims in one place
  • Maybe make sims be attracted to other people like when they see someone they like they have a heart bubble over their head
  • Different sizes and body shapes
  • Different heights
  • Pregnancy DONE!– maybe even with twins?
  • Different range of face shapes DONE!
  • More personalities
  • Sim limits should be per level as you get higher up the game
  • Higher Sim limit DONE!
  • Ability for Sims to talk with others while sitting down
  • Eating with forks, not hands! DONE!
  • To be able to create a family, more than one sim at once (like other sim games)
  • Changing last names of sims only when married not when roommates
  • Woohoo on the bed DONE!
  • ‘The main think I’d like to see is the sims inspired meters go down while doing certain actions that would qualify. Like when gardening, you would want to clean yourself or relaxing in a pool or long periods of time makes your sim want to have more fun, so that meter would go down.’
  • Interact the way they should ‘Like if two sims are married they should randomly kiss or when their both sleeping in one bed, they should snuggle or something’
  • Sims should change into PJs when they get into bedDONE!
  • Sleep underneath the sheets DONE!
  • Add ability to meet all needs in less than a minute in each of the community lots so you don’t have to send them home to inspire them. For example, it should be simple to add “wash hands” as an option to public restrooms and “eat snack” to the vending machines without having to add additional items.
  • It would be nice to have some tasks that take longer than 1 minute when doing relationship building. Maybe something like “have heart to heart talk” that takes 5 or 10 minutes.
  • Your sims should have the option to woohoo FOR BABY then the woman would get pregnant as a result of that(or it could sometimes be unsuccessful to make game more interesting, like the sims 3)

More things for teenagers and preteens to do:

  • Teenagers and preteens should be able to babysit (so adults can go to work)
  • Teenagers should be able to have jobs, maybe at the supermarket
  • More things for preteens to do. Toys for them to play with, etc. Why does the spaceship just sit there, why can’t my preteen play with it? Why can’t they play with some of the toddler toys the way they can use the swimming pool?
  • Preteens/ teens work at a hourse riding studio
  • Let more than one sim play the teen idol instruments. DONE!
  • Stop preteens skipping.
  • There should be the ability for a preteen to be able to carry her/his sibling(etc, a baby or toddler) under supervision of an adult
  • Preteens should be able to be romantic to teens and other preteens!
  • Be able to play video games on TV

Toddlers:

  • Letting the toddlers play together with toys, at the sandpit in the community centre.
  • More things for toddlers to do DONE!

Babies

  • High chairs, walkers, to get them out of their cribs  DONE!
  • Able to pick up babies/ carry holder  DONE!
  • Babies crawling. DONE!

Pets

  • Pets should be less money and more variety, also should be more active, could also have a life bar do you can see what they need.
  • Be able to walk dogs

More pets:
-exotic pets like lizards and snakes that you can actually interact with. It should be a hobby
-more breeds of existing ( how about equestrian ?)
Houses

  • More furniture DONE!
  • Bunk beds! DONE!
  • Making your house a 2/3 storey should not be so expensive DONE!
  • building pools also should not be so expensive. DONE!
  • More decoration/clutter items
  • More building lots
  • Balconies! DONE!
  • Inside Swimming Pools
  • Gazebos
  • Patios DONE!
  • Gates for around front of houses
  • Tree houses
  • I wish we could save our customized houses as a template, like if we want to make the same house on another land plot we could click the button to make a new house and the saved house would be there. Or that we could move a currently built house to another empty land plot (a bigger one for example).

Money

  • More ways to earn money because just planting and baking seem… unrealistic. Part time jobs? In real life, we usually do part-time jobs such as working at a library/restaurant/salon… or babysitting, writing novel…
  • Timings to be more realistic, not take so long to do things forcing you to use LP’s.
  • The building times and prices go up far too steeply between levels, change this as I feel it would keep people more interested in the game.
  • Easier ways to earn money

Actions

  • I want to be able to queue actions. By that I mean some things have to be done at certain times. Mainly sims job start times. That conflict with real life schedules. I want to be able to tell it to send my sim to work at that time when I am able to play the night before or what not. But this can also be a do this now and then this after. Like how the PC game we could queue 5 or 6 tasks. That would be beneficial for short tasks such as needs maintenance.
  • Minigames ‘For example for the store we could bag groceries or for school do simple math problems like two plus two or five minus three. For the club we could mix drinks. For the stadium we could play a game of soccer or something. Just to name a few. These could be optional like a window would pop if u wanted to play or not. Or a seperate bubble for the minigames. The prizes could be mostly money but occasionally lifepoints.’
  • I’d like to see that when you different actions with the same appliance that it looks different. For example when it you select the microwave to do pot noodles the sim sits and eats what looks like a hamburger! Exactly the same as if you select microwave hot snack! shouldn’t be like this!!
  • More realistic book reading times
  • Able to have a party and decorate house
  • Able to keep a photo album in the game (like in deluxe sims)

Quests

  • Houses or items as goals to work towards when doing weekly quests/tasks DONE!
  • During the tutorial stage of the game there are some aspects of the game that go untouched after it is over. I can’t quite put my finger on what is missing other than inter-sim relationship building.
  • When you get a goal that says something like ‘go fishing at the park’ you should be able to click on the goal and go straight to the park (will be helpful for those of us whose game crashes on the town map)

New quests:

  • Driving instructor
  • Hobby tasks, this should be like social tasks line no time limit to finish a variety of tasks associated with hobbies and mixed up such that it doesn’t feel too repetitive.
  • Hotel quest

Levels

  • More levels

XPs

  • I wish you could see how many xp before leveling up. Like 500 earned out of 1,000 needed. DONE!

Careers

  • To be able to send your sims to work whenever you can- “There are jobs I really want my sims to take but they don´t fit my schedule :’(” DONE
  • Send sims to work automatically
  • Tasks within the careers DONE!

More careers:

-Law enforcement (catch criminals) DONE!
-Business
-Medical DONE!
-Waiter/waitress (at a cafe/ restaurant maybe?)

-Designer

-Priest
Hobbies

  • More than one person being able to fish at one time (if several sims have this life dream its not possible for them all to do it)
  • More special content unlocked through hobbies (a way to add that extra customization). I do like getting LPs, obviously, but maybe if it alternated every collection, one earns LPs then the next gets a new set of furniture or clothes.
  • More than one hobby for each sim

More hobbies:

-Horse riding studio for preteens to work

–horseback riding as hobby DONE!
-Exotic pets hobby

–Surfing hobby DONE!
-Swimming hobby
Gardening and Baking

  • Make the later-unlocked veggies and baked goods make sense. It’s been a while since I unlocked anything that’s actually a better deal than the ones I already had.
  • Stop the sit and wait mode, e.g. do some short stuff for 5 minutes give or take then this big long wait for 24hr give or take. And with all those other sims left there is basically just farming to do. Which makes me feel like there is no more to the game than that. Seeing as this is a quest/goal oriented game perhaps the solution to this area is more simultaneous quests/goals (without more simultaneous time limits). I’m in a farming cycle or get to next long task and put all my sims to work farming until that long task is done. So that I’m only popping in game for 1 minute give or take to set sims on 2-9 hours at a time farming until long task is complete. Rinse an repeat.
  • cakes less expensive to bake.
  • Plants should constantly regrow- like in real life so you can go away for a few days, even weeks, it would be fine cos you’d always have something growing so it will always be ready to harvest.

Buildings

  • No dead zone buildings like schools work etc. all buildings can be visited.
  • The supermarket should be given the ability to give you the items straight away, instead of waiting for instance 1 day for a birthday cake, this would help with tasks and growing up.
  • I think that it would be great if Fire Monkey and EA added colleges so that adults/ teens can work on their careers/hobbies. Their could be three different colleges: 1 star (costs less money but the sims get a better education,) 2 star (costs more money than 1 star and a better education,) 3 star (most expensive but best education.) The better the education, higher tour skill level goes up each time you go to college. You could go to college for your personality (I haven’t done the quest that unlocks the orbs yet so I am not to familiar with how that works) or for your hobby or even where you work. At some work places, you should be required to have a college education.

New places:
–A horse stable DONE!
-A zoo (where you can work and pay to visit!! That could be a whole task in itself to put on the island!)
–Have a restaurant as we have a nightclub but no other social establishments. DONE!
-A nursery for toddlers to go to like school they earn the town money
-Icons on town map for player generated public spaces, a museum?

-Church and decorations to buy for houses, e.g. crosses
-The survey they did mentioned a Harry Potter-like area with magical careers and hobbies. I’m all for that!

-An airport
New worlds: Maybe magic, alien, or supernatural? (like in other sim games!)
Social Points and Neighbours

  • Get rid of social points or make them easier to earn
  • Message board when you visit a neighbour
  • More than one sim being able to visit another neighbourhood
  • The ability for sims to go on holiday to another sims world and for the other person to be able to interact with you
  • Stop all sims looking depressed when you visit another town, there is no point to this
  • The GIVEN neighborhood, Another Sim Town ought to be set up with most if not all things in case a person playing doesn’t know others or didn’t want to connect with facebook or game center or not want to add strangers
  • Be able to connect via twitter or just online (for those who don’t play on an apple product facebook is their only option- some people don’t have facebook or any friends who play)

Life Points

  • Free LPs for every achievement unlocked
  • More activities to generate LPs
  • Earn LP for babysitting
  • Easier to earn LPs

Fixes to life dreams and legacies update:

  • Stop automatic ageing- “I want to be able to decide myself when my sims should age/die.” DONE! (can reverse their age for free)
  • Longer ageing time
  • Faster ways to complete the life dreams and upgrade life orbs because it takes forever
  • Stop the grim reaper from following our sims around, why can’t he just appear at the end? DONE!
  • Option to stop a sim’s aging indefinitely for a reasonable # of LPs (5 or 10? Even 20 would be ok, just not an orb that requires killing off several sims to get.)
  • Make life dreams easier to achieve (go up by more than 0.something%) DONE!
  • Make life dreams all with exact options (for example, don’t just say ‘go snowboarding’ but instead do ‘tricks til tomorrow’)
  • Make age stages longer so we are able to get further in jobs and hobbies
  • We need a graveyard or urn when a sim dies, they can’t just leave nothing behind.
  • Have life dreams achieved by doing variety of things, e.g all sporty actions should increase the life dreams %
  • Adult sims should be able to get higher than a silver orb, don’t say they have completed their life dream- what about trying to get a gold or platinum? If they have time to do it, why not let them!?
  • family tree- remember the departed
  • Go up in years maybe, not stages of life?

Store

  • Specials, half price sales on simoleon/LP packs.
  • Fix bugs with store

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this post! There are some really great ideas here and the makers have already listened to a lot of them!

Thanks for reading!

  3. The park needs a play area including a slide swings jungle gym monkey bars rock wall and soccer field and basketball court and any sim except for a baby adult and senior can’t play in the play area
    But adults can play soccer and basketball

  11. When they go to work for the men have a work bag and for the ladies a purse.when they go out to places women teens and preteens need purses

  12. Hi! I have some ideas;

    1. If a task takes 24 hours to complete, I can use LPS to shorten the time. Like instead of using 23 LPS to skip it, I can make the time shorter by using any number of LPS. So if I have 17 LPS but only want to use 7, I can, and so on. It would make it so much easier!
    2. A step between Teen and Adulthood, and it could be called like a Young Adult. A university could be built and maybe they could train for a career! So say if you wanted them to be a scientist as an adult, you could give them the scientist major. I also agree that there should be more jobs available for sims! Especially if the YA step happened, and the YA and Teens could work at the grocer or restaurant or mall! As actual jobs too, not just for XP! Where the time shifts are like 4 hours for Teens and 6 hours for YA! I just think it’s ridiculous there are no options for teens to have a job!

    Also I would like to second the whole afterlife area thing! Sims simply disappearing when they die is so depressing. Also, more areas for people to go to and the ability to actually go inside work areas and do mini quests is fantastic! I already like this game but if EA gave the game these things I would love it even more

    • … Are you phycic? Because you just read my mind! Also, maybe make the YA the default starting sim, and the most customisable, but all teens clothing should be available to YA and Adults, and YA should have the most interactions. For instance, a YA can encourage a teen or help a Senior clean. Also, appliances and such, as well as counters, should get dirty. Although I do like that food doesn’t go off, so you aren’t pressured to come back in time to have my sims eat whatever they cooked, or risk having wasted 12 hours.

    • yeah becuase ts not like that in real life and just make more pics and for documentaries it could be animals and every now and then there could be BREAKING NEWS scroling across the screen

      Reply

  15. No matter what level u are on u are allowed to build whatever u want at the price. It should not go up every time

    Reply

    • Best idea EVER!!!!
      Coz it now costs some people-like me-100,000 simoleonss for the recording studio and 300,000 simoleons and an ‘unfurnished studio’ costs me 60,000 simoleons for the costume shop and im only on level 24 some and people’s cost way less!!! It should have a fixed price. And also they need more variety or glasses, not sunglasses but actual reading glasses

      Reply

    • Everything you are describing isn’t a virtual game– it is real life. Not everything the company does is going to be tiny things like “different pictures”. If you want that then you should get off your electronics and visit the real world.

      Reply

  19. It is cool that the sims have a diving hobby but how about a swimming hobby with the 4 strokes freestyle backstroke breaststroke and butterfly that would be cool🏊

    Reply

  21. they need a car wash or the family washes they’re own car. And the family could ride in the car and u can see then get in the car

    Reply

  22. Up to 5 people could fit in the car
    And if they are going somewhere you could see their car riding around the sim town and parking in the parking lot

    Reply

  23. I suggest allowing the player to move the camera around the neighbourhood, so kind of like doing stuff on the current overworld map.

    If the Sims have no tasks, rather than staying indoor sitting down, they can leave the house and roam freely. I love stragglers.

    Reply

  24. More other interact options with the Sims eating plant, instead of just negotiating (killing) it. Allow pets and kids to interact with it as well.

    Inclusion of the milk cow sims eating plant

    Reply

  26. They need to being themes and quests they used in Sims Social also they need some of those decorations like food for the tables. They also need to let us put things in the center of tables like the original Sims game. Also to expand on spell making to potion making like the Sims making magic. Maybe some if the inflatable super cheap funititure like the original Sims too. I feel like every time they make a game they completly change it but players who know more than just Free play are left disappointed because we know that they can do much more than what they are doing. It’s free but people will spend money if they up there game and make decor houses items new exciting well designed and worth buying or playing for. Also is it too much to ask for actually white walls?

    Reply

  30. there should be building stages set at a perminet price of 1000 simoleons and there are 3 levels depending on the building but no more than 7 stages and each stage ranges from about 30 min to 1 hour no more no less.

    Reply

  32. Houses should be different shapes instead of box houses and we should be able to build the houses to the edges not stop far back. There is still more space on the lot that can be used. A color select block for picking out furniture and wall colors and complexion colors Instead of pre selected colors. Teens should be able to ballet and do karate..they don’t have much to do. They have all witchcraft and ghost stuff but no churches or priest this isn’t right on a religious standpoint.

There needs to be an update where sim town floods and the volcano errupts but not all at once you have to try and prevent the volcano from errupting be using a golden ring and if the volcano doesnt errupt then sim town wont flood and if you complete it within 4 DAYS then you will level up 3 levels, the quests initial name is: SAVE SIMTOWN!, here are the tasks

    2 The Golden Ring
    (description) The scientist have made a GIANT mistake they blew up the building and the machine they made now the only way to calm the volcano is to throw the golden ring into the volcano search the stables (this takes 24 hrs )

    3 Courage
    Okay this sim is to scared try watching some movies to work up courage like a… MOVIE MARATHON!!!! (this Takes about 12 hours)

    4 Final One (maybe)
    Get 5 sims and climb the volcano to the top and throw the ring in (this takes about 5 hours)

  37. I would like babysitting. Also I would like pre teens and teens to clear the dishes and fill the pet food bowls. Also they could play frisbee with the dogs.

    Reply

  38. Please make it so they can get pregnant and go throw 3 trimesters and have hospital and let them take pregnentcs tests

    Reply

  40. Accessories for dragons and fairies. Like a place/item for them to sleep on or play at. The same kind of things we can get for cats and dogs.

    Reply

  41. Whycant you have no tasks because its like im losing a lot of money because of it. And they should have a speed time button like in sims 3 and 4

    Reply

  43. And last why cant you have a every day bar and a sleepwaer bar so you can change the outfits in sleepwear

    Reply

  44. With all the expansions, it would be nice to increase the number of sims. !!! PLEASE. It would be nice to have all houses filled and be able to have couples and children of the various ages in more than one family.

    Reply

  46. I have 4 toddlers. I started out letting all four moms stay home and keep their own kid and letting the dads work but, I need the money do now one mom babysits all four toddlers and the othe 3 moms work. I was wondering if the one mom that baby sits all 3 kids could get paid for doing this?

    Reply

  47. Not sure if anyone has said this yet (or if it’s available in the game and if so I have no idea how to do it) but now that our Sims can sleep under the covers and they change before bed, some pajamas would be nice. They could work the same way bathing suits do where there is a special shop and you set each Sims pajamas so when they twirl before bed they are in sleepwear not their underwear.

    Reply

  48. Hi! Here are a few changes I’d like to see for Sims Freeplay:

    1. To be able to choose a form of payment, if you’d rather pay for stuff using simoleons instead of LPs or SPs.
    2. Different seasons and weather changes.
    3. The ability to make body and facial adjustments. Also, hairstyles with longer hair should be added.
    4. Shorten the time it takes to execute some of the tasks.
    5. No countdown to complete quests or at least allow you to buy extra time at a reasonable price.

    Reply

  49. I really agree with stopping auto aging as i have just left my old school and i made all my friends on my game. It would be a pain to keep recreating my sims. You should be able to toggle auto aging, like have the option if you want it or not.
    Also maybe have more hobbies for preteens, like soccer (or football, whatever u might call it) or netball! Have personalities from an early age, not just when u get to the life dreams and legacies quest! I remeber a year or two ago you could add personalities when u created sims.
    And even the ability to search up other towns instead of just connecting thru game center or facebook because me and my sis both have towns but we cant visit each others’. Our parents wont let us use different facebook or game center so we cant do it. Like you could go to the party boat and have the option to ‘search towns’ so you look up town names -i cant even remember if there are town names or not!
    Also make it way easier to make money like preteens could do chores for pocket money. Like add dishwashers to the game and have to option for preteens to unstack it and get like 100 simoleons and the task could take 10 minutes or something. Or select the cupboards and have to option to vacum the house for the same sort of reward. Or even WASH THE CAR.

    PS ur blog is incredibly helpful! 😀
    PPS I hope EA pays attention to this and adds some new things into to game
