Things that MUST be in The Sims 5 for me to buy: A THREAD

Open world. Not semi open, not neighborhoods. Open worlds that are as big, or bigger than Sims 3 size. I want to be able to play as sims on multiple lots at the same time with no interruptions. It’s important af to me, and great for exploring beautiful non set worlds.

Create a Style. This is not important to some people, but I LOVE and use this feature constantly. If you follow me on twitch you know there has not been a single build stream where I do not use this feature. Being able to add custom textures makes the possibilities endless.

A Chemistry System. The Sims 3 chemistry system was too vague and often times sims would constantly have chemistry with each other. Sims 2 was too strict and easy to manipulate. I want a balance between the two to make romance feel more realistic and challenging.

Memories. I need my sims to have memories like the sims 2, but more expanded. Imagine a detailed system where sims could be reminded of certain memories in their past, like being cheated on, and it could affect their mood.

No emotions system. When I say that I mean no sims 4 styled emotions. 2 and 3 have more realistic sims because their emotions don’t flip constantly. If they are angry it’s bc something substantial happened, and it doesn’t just poof away when they watch tv or paint.

World creation. The Sims 4 leaving out customizable worlds was scummy. It makes the players rely on new packs to have new worlds to play in, and keeps them paying just for more lots. We NEED world creation in the next game.

Improvements in EVERY life state. I’m not going to be content if they match the level of depth of sims 2 and 3 for each age state. They need to be actively improving them. The sims can not be stagnant in this area, it needs to progress in a big way.
