Wishlist for the Builders

Hi There!

I’m new to the Forum but want to add a wishlist for any builders like myself. :slight_smile:

Let me know if you agree with the below list:

  • Free Placed Object Deletion: Can we remove the system deleting objects that are free placed (Alt) into walls / floors? Spending time on decorating just for all the objects to be deleted when placing a new wall can be frustrating.
  • Skip Level Object: An object that you can place in build mode that would skip that floor when going up a level in live mode. This would make it better for building high-rise apartment buildings / sky scrappers.
  • Cars: Cars are great! however, the ability to change the cars colours would be great. Also the ability to park the car on a driveway / in a garage with maybe placeable markers as to how the car gets there would be nice (think TS2 with the placeable driveways).
  • Resizeable Objects: This is something that I think we’re getting but thought I would pop this in here anyway.
  • More Pattern Options: Another thing that I’m sure will come but just in case! I would also like the same patterns to be used for walls, floors, objects and ceilings (it’s kinda strange that ceilings have such little materials to choose from).
  • Terrian Tools: Would love to be able to paint the ground with different coloured grass / dirt / flowers. Also the ability to raise / lower terrian.
  • Ponds: Just needs adding really, maybe with new plants that can be placed ontop of them (e.g lilipads).
  • Square Floor Placement: The ability to select a floor tile segment instead of having to create a room or place down those big floor resizeable squares would be great.
  • Swimming pools: These are great so far, but I think adding curves and the ability to put plants in them would help too, kinda so we can create our own Aquirium.
  • Neighbours Trees: Now this one might be niche, but I noticed when building in Cahaya - Senyap, the trees outside the property line spill into this property, so if you build walls, there’s a big tree in the way that can’t be deleted. I think things like this need to be taken into consideration with future maps.
  • Radios: The ability to sync up radios would be nice too. I always put two big speakers down when building, but they play different songs in live mode lol

I think that’s all that I can think of right now. Anyone else got ideas for us builders that they would like to see implemented ? :slight_smile:

Pleeeeeeeeeeeease. If I lose too much of my creation, I save & exit, bc I am too salty to be creative. :salt:

Granted, I usually return to build it back better than before…but we all could do with less drama in our lives, lol :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes to that annoying tree in Senyap Property (Cahaya).
At the very least it should auto remove itself if you build close to it, and come back if you move your house away (so you get to chose).

For the cars I wish they would add more things for it and if we want to change the color, we have to get it to a car shop thing

Really, that’s very annoying! Especially because there are objects that, with automatic positioning, don’t end up in the position they should: like showers (which don’t touch the wall, leaving the faucet and shower head floating); upper kitchen cabinets (which don’t always attach properly to walls, floating in the air, and not to other cabinet modules/blocks either, leaving unwanted gaps)…

I completely agree with you! I think it’s wonderful to have functional cars! But I would really like to have a greater variety of colors (all should have at least white, silver, black, yellow, orange, red, pink, lilac, purple, light blue, dark blue, light green, dark green, and brown); and that cars don’t disappear but are instead parked (mainly having the possibility to park in garage spaces in residential lots, but if possible also being able to park in parking spaces in public lots).

This possibility would be wonderful!!! I recently saw videos of Paralives development, and I really liked this possibility of resizing various furniture like sofas and dining tables, making them have more or fewer spaces to be occupied. This would be especially beneficial for kitchen counters and cabinets, which don’t always fit the room size.

It bothers me a lot that objects in the same category don’t have the same textures/patterns available to apply. For example, sofas and upholstered chairs don’t always have the same materials to apply (not all can be leather, for example); each appliance has different materials to apply, some can/cannot apply plastic, metal, painted metal textures… This is very frustrating!

I think they already have plans to do this, because in the exterior construction section, there’s a clear drawing of a “little hill”/relief (as well as basement), like the pool was before.

From what I could understand, it would be to place flooring outside the construction/building, without needing to create a room and remove the walls or place those “tiles”/resizable walkways, which distort the floor texture image when we resize them. I agree with you, I also miss this possibility. And I think those resizable floors are terrible!

I would also really like to be able to do this. In fact, there are sound equipment that don’t have a speaker to emit the sound. So it would be perfect to combine this type of equipment with the speaker. For me, it would already be enough if all sound equipment in the same environment/room were automatically synchronized.

It would be really cool to have repair shops, gas stations, vehicle insurance, having to repair the vehicle after a crash…
