Re: more ideas for sims 4

@Deborah21081987, I agree with @jpkarlsen about realistic labor! It is a long process, and very messy and painful. 
It isn't pleasant, which is why they call it labor! 
The Sims is supposed to be a lighthearted game. That is why they did Sim labor in the way that it is in the game.
As for wheelchairs, one of the Sim Gurus has mentioned considering this and other disabilities. But there are many pitfalls with this subject in a game like TS4. First, they would have to completely make new meshes and animations for each age group, except for babies. Many existing buildings in the game (and ones other have uploaded to the Gallery) would not be accessible as they are right now. EA would have to put in a ton of work to make this even close to working. But then there are other disabilities that people also would want in the game. People have mentioned everything from wheelchairs, crutches, blindness, deafness, asthma, epilepsy, missing limbs, cerebral palsy, conjoined twins, and much more! No matter how many of these conditions EA puts in the game, someone will feel left out! So while they would be trying to be more inclusive, they would end up being exclusive. And then there is the fact that while many people would like these conditions to be in the game, many people with these conditions do not want it in the game because they play the game to escape from these real-life difficulties.
If EA were ever to have disabilities in the game, then they would have to do it with a lot of respect, and it would be best to incorporate this into a new game , perhaps The Sims 5 (if they make that) or in a separate game that is like the Sims but deals with these issues. 
As for Religion, this would probably create a lot of problems, because, again, there are too many religions to include them all. Also, all religions should be treated with respect, and this is extremely difficult to do in a lighthearted game. Also this could cause fighting in the forums about religion, and I don't' think anybody wants that!
As for Create your own worlds, that would be a lot of fun! 
I know a lot of people would love this!
As for cars, there isn't much need for them in a world that isn't an open world like TS3 was. They could do it like they did for TS2 (which was a completely closed world) but there really wouldn't' be any driving, just Sims getting in and out of cars and pulling out of their driveways before disappearing into a loading screen. Most people would want to actually see your Sims drive to each location. Besides, some worlds like Forgotten Hollow (from the Vampires GP) don't' really have any worlds, so cars wouldn't work there unless they totally redid that town.
So, without an open world, there isn't much use for cars. And TS4 was built on a totally different engine than TS3 was. EA has said they would remake TS4 to have an open world. The reason that they didn't make TS4 with an open world is because the open world in TS3 would cause incredible lagging, even on the best computers -- and on many computers the game would grind to a halt! 
I don't' want to wait 20 or more minutes for the game to load and then have the game be almost unplayable like it was in TS3. If they could find a way to make an open world that would work on most computers, then that would be different , but for that to happen, it would have to be in TS5, if they are going to make that!
I would love more eyecolors! 
I would also love more animals and farming! :eahigh_file: I don't' know if they will do this, but a lot of people want farming in the game. It would be something new and would work nicely with a lot of the packs we already have!
Finally, it is possible that they are planning, or even creating University while we speak! I have no confirmation on this, just speculation. However, it is the most requested pack that we haven't' gotten yet, and University has existed in both TS2 and TS3! So there is a good chance we could get this! I hope it is more like the TS2 version because that one was extremely fun!
Happy Simming!
@AndyZhang2896, I'm guessing that either you don't have the Get to Work EP, or that the illnesses in that pack aren't challenging enough for you. The Original Poster wanted handicaps and diseases, though, not illnesses. But you are correct in that our current illnesses don't really restrict you from doing anything (you still can go to work or school) unless you have too many other negative moodlets.
I do like your idea for a vague made-up religion, so nobody gets offended. Perhaps this is what the OP @Deborah21081987 had in mind, but she hasn't replied back, and I just assumed she meant real religions. 
I do wish they would have the Creat A World since so many people want more worlds in their game. We had that in TS3, and I thought it was hard to use. I'm sure if I had instruction I would have liked it better.
But I know a great many people loved it! :eahigh_file:
I wouldn't mind nicer looking cars for our driveways. I'm just afraid that even with non-functional cars most people would be really angry. You and I would be satisfied, but Twitter would go haywire with outrage that the cars were non-functional! TS2 had cars that our Sims would get in and pull in and out of the driveway. The car would then disappear and you'd get a loading screen and show up wherever you selected to travel to. I think you could also woohoo in them. I know you could fix them up and resell them ! They had that aspect in TS3 as well! In TS3 the cars would travel through the world , but the Sims would teleport into and out of the cars! It was kind of weird! 
Well, they might be working on a Farming pack.. I really hope they plan on doing one! But just because people are talking about it in the YouTube comment section doesn't mean that EA is planning on doing it. People are also talking about how they wish they would bring back open worlds,. cars, the CASt color/pattern wheel, babies that aren't objects, pre-teens, etc., but most of those will never be brought into TS4. However, there is always a chance that EA will hear and see these requests , and what they can't do in TS4, they might put into TS5, if they make a TS5! 
Finally, one of the Sim Gurus Tweeted a teaser that we might be getting a new staircase type! (Most likely spiral). :eahigh_file: This was asked because spiral stairs seem like they would go great with a Magic pack, which we are getting in a few weeks with The Realm of Magic Game Pack!
@MsSamLStory, The Sims 2 is my favorite version of the Sims!!! It was fantastic for stroytellers and had phenomenal gameplay! Each Sim would collect both good and bad memories and you would have memory markers in their information panels that you could reference. You could also compile your pictures from your game and put it on your Sim page and make like a story book for others to read! I had so much fun with this! The gameplay also focused more on events and would have these cutscenes for things like a first kiss or a baby being born! :eahigh_file:
But, even if they were to add a feature like this, I don't think it would be anywhere near as good as the TS2 gaming experience was. But since you never played TS2, you would have noting to compare it to! 
I think this would be a step in the right direction. However, since many of us have been playing TS4 since it came out 5 years ago, I'd rather them have done this sooner as many of our most played families wont' be able to have their memories recorded. Still, I would enjoy something like this.
Finally, I don't think it is a good idea to encourage people to "spam" EA with suggestions. It is better to discuss suggestions within the community (but don't spam the community either) and then post the suggestions either here (like you did), or on the official TS4 Forums : https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/934752/feedback-share-with-us-what-you-would-want-to-see...
@MsSamLStory, I'm glad you didn't mean to suggest spamming in a bad way! You could always change your post to encourage people to just make a suggestion to EA. Even if you didn't really mean for people to spam EA or others, some people could take it the wrong way, and nobody would want that to happen!
But I'm glad you are so excited about the Sims!
