This is just a list regarding things that there is no reason EA had to include them and there are mods that fix these. However, EA should have fixed it theirself by now anyway... Let's get into this salty little post of mine. I HOPE YOU ARE READING THIS EA DEVS!! 1. Vampires Growling.Why do they growl? I have no F-ing idea! Vampires in most media just don't do this poo unless hunting or attacking. For the most part, vampires act more human-like in most forms of media, even Van Hellsing's take on vampires had them acting more human than beastly when not fighting and whatnot. Vampires just don't do this poo! Why did you go adding it? Just to smack all vampire fans' in the face being like "Yeah we are giving you your vampires back! But... Haha, there is a catch! You guys now have to deal with retarded growling from them when idle and when in CAS! Have fun with that!"... For the love of Artemis EA, fix this already. Some mods fix it for you, but we should not have to use mods for this. Fixing it is as simple as disabling one line of coding regarding vampire idle stances! 2. No Playing as Your Pet.Another one they should have just added from the start. Hell if I can play as a mermaid, vampire, alien, and plant thing. I should damn well be allowed to play as my pet! What was this for EA? In your Sims 3, we had an amazing Pets expansion. We use to have horses, the ability to play as our pets, and dog houses. You got rid of all of that! Even the dog houses! And no don't you dare read this and give us dog houses out of everything else requested here. That is just poor sportsmanship! But yeah we have mods to fix this as well, but it is up to the community to keep it up to date and many of us only make CC and Mods as a hobby in our spare time, it is your guys' job to make the games! We have lives we live outside of our CC and Mod making. Thus you guys should just be fixing all this yourself so we don't need mods for stuff that should have just been a thing in Sims 4 from the start. You make bug fixes and games for a living, we just make mods and CC for fun. 3. No Witches or Werewolves.Alright, so this one may just be my salty supernatural fan side talking, but hear me out... NO WEREWOLVES OR WITCHES?! Yet you give us mental vampires that can't stop growling and Aliens that we have no way of linking their human and alien forms? What kind of joke is this be?! All the fantasy creatures you have released thus far have some kind of alternative form, you mean to tell me that you could not make Werewolves happen? And what about Witches? You don't have to do anything with the model for Witches except giving them powers and an alchemy station. There is a mod called "Curses and Blessings" by the same modders that made "Extreme Violence" so this tells me that it can indeed be done somehow, giving sims powers. Typically I just use this mod for witch sims and dress them up in a witches costume. But once again this is another one that we should not need mods for...
Phew, that was a big one... If I missed anything you guys think EA should fix themself instead of making us the community do it for them, share it below! Now I am off to grab a ginger ale, I am going to need one. XD

okay but... none of these need "fixing"? they're just design choices you don't agree with or features you want added. That's like me saying they should "fix" vampires existing at all, because I find vampires boring and obnoxious.
Honestly I just want the features we do have (like off-the-grid) to work properly/sensibly.

But I have a quirky sense of humor at times, so I don't blame people for not picking up on it. XD
For people that have an issue with Vampires for whatever reason, I feel they should have an enable/disable spawn option for occult like they did in Sims 3. I personally like having vampires, I just wish they where more accurate to lore and legends than seeming to be there just as a weird joke. The Off the Grid stuff they really need to fix at some point since that is not accurate either.
In my opinion I find it odd that vampires are boring to you, yet normal realistic human sims, which you yourself is already a normal human, is more interesting... That does not make sense to me. But to each their own.

1) bold of you to assume I'm a normal human...
2) I feel like describing any sim as "realistic" is a stretch. Human sims have genetically blue hair, die of extreme embarrassment, and get paid a living wage.
3) I don't have anything against supernatural sims, I just have no use for vampires in general, "accurate" or otherwise.

Everyone is a normal human, are you trying to say you are an Alien? XD As for human sims being realistic, and you say it is a stretch. Not that much of a stretch. Playing with human sims is more so a dramatized realism. Nonetheless, though they are still pretty normal in comparison to occult sims. I don't mind using human sims I do a lot as well, it just seemed odd to me that someone would call them boring and think playing with normal human sims is a blast. As I said though, to each their own, I am not criticizing your play-style, just was sharing my opinion.

Ok I'll bite. The Grass, game lighting turns grass and 'evergreen' shrubs mud brown during Autumn and Winter and maybe a little in Spring. I truly hate this. I play in 28 day seasons and the psychological effect of brown grass and shrubs for so long is depressing. So much so I only play the summer season now, I just use the weather machine to turn the season back every 28 days. Grass can't turn brown due to cold or limited winter light, its alive or dead. Brown grass only comes about in the summer from lack of water. I would love either the ability to stay in one season like the Sims 2 or fix that revolting lighting effect. The Sulani islands seems to have an entire economy based on fish. The Children of the Ocean and Mermaids have a bad reaction to eating fish? I asked 11 people what mermaids eat, no thinking about it just answer, it was always fish. From an eight year old to an 87 year old. Fish EA, mermaids eat FISH. They have no choice, catch a human/mammal documentary about calories and energy. Oh and a David Attenborough one on the Planet and how it works. So there I am, 15 miles into the jungle, its wicked hot and I've lost 3 machetes in the dense undergrowth...so why is there an NCP in a jumper and an umbrella waiting for me at the temple entrance? Why do NCPs have to be anywhere on that trail, seriously why? Will sims die of loneliness after suffering a memory loss on how to use a mobile to talk to someone? Will EA crash and burn unless it lets NCPs into every secret lot that until a while ago gave players a break from the stalking? There, I feel better now

They are not herbivores, like how Dolphins and Sharks will eat fish, Mermaids are said to eat fish as well as underwater plant life. I also found that one stupid, almost as much as the annoying mental vampires that can't stop growling. XD Glad you feel better now and I agree with the things you said. XD

freeasabird tbh my first thought would probably be that mermaids DON'T eat fish, but maybe that's because I'm one of those annoying vegetarians myself doesn't really make sense now that I think about it. Humans eat other mammals too, fish eat other fish. So I guess there are probably vegan mermaids as well as omnivores, just like humans? :D Btw shadow the growling is SO embarrassing and annoying, I usually have the sounds turned of in CAS cause the sims and their babbling annoys me, and then I recently created a vampire with the sound on and... I had to close the game, download the mod that turns the growling of and restart the game after like 10 minutes cause I couldn't stand it. I just got so angry about the growling that I forgot everything else I wanted to complain about. But I'LL BE BACK!

I have only ever seen one mermaid in my game but I have seen elsewhere that they have sharp teeth? Evolutionary bio says sharp teeth are generally for tearing meat (big cats, sharks, rats etc etc) Humans have three types of teeth, Incisors, canines, and molars, which means we eat anything. But pointy teeth to me says meat/fish. And yeah sialia we eat cows and other mammals so why shouldn't Mermaids eat fish. I dont think ocean plants would have the energy to power a big mammal. I can't believe that the mermaid/fish thing has caused me so much philosophical thought. I need to get out more lol I get annoyed with the growing too Shadow. My only brush with vampires is Buffy and Angel so to me the Sims vamps are all wrong from the start. They seem to be based on really really old legends or whatever. I want modern vamps, with a karaoke bar and demons that make me laugh... I really miss Lorne

XD Anyways yeah Vampires growling I won't stop being annoyed with, I wish we did not need mods for to stop the growling. The worst thing is that these no growling mods, actually only edit one line which is a vampire idle line, so EA could just do that themselves if they wanted in under 15 minutes, but they rather let us suffer. XD
That other Shadow has not been on since 2015 as well as don't have any member level above newbie, I am surprised they won't delete the person's clearly forgotten account. XD
Quick tip, go in the facial detail view, press ctrl+shift+c, then type in casclockspeed 0. That freezes all movement in the create a sim dashboard. Though you will have to do that again and type casclockspeed 1 to put it back to normal in order to test voices and walk styles. Still works though!

I really miss Lorne They do in most legends, some have sharp teeth, others have just fangs, and then the ones in Disney movies have nothing. XD Which Disney also did not do their research clearly before making stuff about Mermaids.
I have read some of the oldest lore about vampires because I am a geek like that, they don't growl or anything. Older lore typically stated that vampires would hiss and growl when scared or angered since they use to be considered closer to demonic monsters than just a race of their own. Still they never talked about growling like a moron in the most random of situations. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ XD
