Base Game Quality of Life Improvements

1. Smarter New Game Flow

  • Stop forcing us into CAS for new saves! Add a prompt asking:
    • "Do you want to create a Sim, move in a premade household, or load a lot?"

2. Better Controls & Accessibility

  • Touchscreen and gamepad support on PC (why is this still not a thing?)
  • Rebindable keyboard controls (let us customize our keybinds!)
  • Easier computer/social menus (fewer nested clicks to find options)

3. CAS & Household Management

  • Copy outfits between Sims in the same household
  • Save CAS outfits for reuse across saves
  • View and unlock all hidden CAS outfits (without cheats)
  • Modify career outfits without needing mods/cheats
  • Age down Sims to lower life stages (e.g., adult → young adult)

4. Build/Buy Mode Fixes

  • Favorites system for Build/Buy items
  • Better organization (logical categories, less scrolling)
  • Improved filters (sort by theme, pack, or function)
  • Change light settings (on/off, color) in Build Mode
  • Undo history (accidentally deleted a room? Just undo!)
  • Auto-roof tool (generate roofs with one click)
  • Display surfaces/ottomans in their own categories (stop mixing them with chairs!)
  • Toggle catalog size (expand/shrink item thumbnails)

5. Gameplay & UI Tweaks

  • Grab all servings of food at once (no more clicking 12 times for leftovers)
  • Buy/sell multiples of items (let us type "50" instead of spamming the button)
  • Improved phone/notification system (social media-style feed?)
  • Base-game relationship titles (boyfriend/girlfriend, wife/husband)
  • Better in-game phone photos (why do they still look like potatoes?)

6. Save & Pack Management

  • Bulk delete saves (no more one-by-one cleanup)
  • Disable pack content per household (for cleaner gameplay)

7. Bug Reporting

  • In-game bug report tool (no more alt-tabbing to forums)
