New The Sims Labs survey is collecting data about the future of The Sims 4. Possibly for a new Pack release.

The Sims Labs, an official name of a Maxis subdivision that collects information and playtest data for new Sims products is interested in new feedback regarding the future of The Sims 4. Specifically, how you play Rags to Riches and Legacy Gameplay. Including what would you like to see more of to support that type of gameplay and storyline opportunities.

The two new threads on The Sims Official Discord surfaced just minutes ago, asking in great detail for feedback on these two subjects. Here’s what they’ve shared and the details that they’re interested from the players:

The Sims 4 Legacy Play Feedback

We love seeing your legacy stories in Show Us Your Sims! We have some questions about how you take part in legacy play (playing any family more than one generation) and what would make your experiences better below:

• Are you interested in stories around your Sims family’s past, heritage or ancestors?

• Do you tell those stories yourself? Do you have written examples?

• How do you create those backstories? And what would you need to more easily do this?

• Which objects, Create A Sim, Build Buy, traits, etc. would you help to tell stories about your family’s past?

The Sims 4 Rags to Riches Feedback

Rags to Riches is a fun, community-made challenge Simmers love to take part in! We’re looking to understand how we could make that experience better for you through the following questions:

• What do you enjoy most when playing the “rags to riches” community challenge? Why do you engage with it?
• What were the most interesting stories you experienced within the rags to riches challenge?
• What do you feel could be better in your “rags to riches” experience? (e.g. clearer guidance, in between milestones, rewards, …)
• Which objects, Create A Sim, Build Buy, traits, etc. would you like to have to better tell the initial “rags” or later “riches” phase? Where do you feel it is lacking the most?

You can parttake in the official Discord discussion and send in your feedback in the dedicated Sims Labs channel. You’ll need to pick a Sims Labs user role on Discord before seeing the new feedback threads and sending in your input.

This wouldn’t be the first time that EA and Maxis are conducting a user research for the future of The Sims 4 content. The Sims Labs feedback for The Sims 4 content was playtested first through The Sims 4 Animations survey where players could vote on which common animations should be improved.

A minor user research was conducted about The Sims 4 Autonomy weeks ago through Discord. However, it didn’t talk about things like new Items and Gameplay content like the latest one does. Which could imply about the upcoming Sims 4 Pack or Feature release focusing on Rags to Riches and / or Legacy content.
