Now in the tweet about the "no schools", it states not at this time. So who knows if they will add them later or not. But if they do, I really don't see them adding in separate schools for the kids.

Just wondering because I didn't follow the first two Sims games - does anyone know if lifestages have ever been added in an EP before?
Also if more than one occult has been added to a single EP (with the exception of EPs dedicated to occults)?
I'd like to see more for Elders too, including for active Elders. But also seniors' centres and seniors' homes, a chance to change a trait, something that encourages them to give their things away and make wills, ... There's a lot more to being in your later years than hobbling about with a cane, being a free babysitter, and reminiscing about the good old days. I'm really hoping to see more thought into this age group in Sims 4 than before, when the whole age group seemed like basically an afterthought.
Npcs: Burglar
Occults: Imaginary Friend,Ghost I hate IF they were so annoying and disrupted my game play all the time and when ghost constantly haunted and some even I guess "glitched" and stayed around even after the sun came up >_<
* House Alarms are added
*Law Enforcement career is added.
*Laundry Returns. In TS3 i tried to make a sim use the pick up all laundry and she'd go around picking it up only to randomly stop and throw a big pile of laundry on the floor, I had this problem A LOT.
*Dish washing Returns I honestly don't care if they use a dish washer or just hand wash it. I own a dishwasher and don't even use it. Lol I feel like hand washing ensures everything gets cleaned and scrubbed
*Hangouts spots Arcades for pre-teens and teens I agree
*Toy making - make toys including Imaginary Friends as Dolls
*Middle School is added for Pre-teens
* Pre-School is added for parents to drop off there toddlers.
*Babysitting job Expanded.
*Schools are no longer rabbit holes. A lot of people complain about Uni EP being boring to just watch them sit in class and get lectured. I think it would be hard to try to manage so many sims at different places, especially if I have to encounter a load screen from one sim to the other.

I have to totally disagree with you on the 'maturity' level of the game. Why do you think it's less mature to have toddlers in the game? We were ALL toddlers in our lives, you know those ages between 1-5, commonly referred to as the toddler age? Going from infant to child creates a gap so wide we might as well call it the Grand Canyon. I haven't known a single person who ever jumped from infant to eight year old. As for the gap between Adults and elders, it's a more nuanced time of life, middle age. I know I'm there, currently. While I'm old enough to eat off of the "senior" menu at most restaurants, I'm not old enough to collect my full Social Security, yet. I also don't really look that old. (I was blessed with some really great genes, thank you, Mom.) My hair has (only in the last few years) developed a few streaks of white/gray and mostly on the underneath side, so it hardly shows. Crows feet only really show whenever I smile, and aren't etched too heavily into my skin, either. Even my hubby doesn't sport too many wrinkles, and although his beard is mostly gray, his hair doesn't have any streaks at all that I've seen. We're eleven months apart in age. If you want to show the process with your Sims, they've given us facial features we can add in the new CAS, such as creases in the forehead and nasal 🐸🐸🐸🐸 (the () that stretch from the nose to the mouth area) that sometimes appear in later life. (Others, like Leonard Nimoy had them always.)
If you wish to cause discord in the lives of your Sims, you're the one in charge. You can break up that marriage and make it acrimonious all you want. I had two Sims fight terribly in Sims3, because she kept placing the infant son down on the front lawn of their home in the pouring rain! Hubby got home from his gig and gave his wife the what-for, after taking baby safely inside. Apparently, they didn't get over the fight, because when she did it again (for the third time autonomously, no I'm not a Monster), I sent him home right after his gig again. They fought, of course, but what surprised me was the 'break-up' action was suddenly in the menu. I did what any sane person would do and clicked on it. Then I immediately went into Edit Town and moved the *itch out into her own apartment. Yes, my singer got flack for the break up from both family and friends, but I sent him to court for slander and guess what? He won. If he was the bad guy, why did he have custody of the infant … . So, you see, you are in charge of the story. My Sim autonomously placing the baby in the yard merely sparked it.
As for schools, since our Sims are going to 'walk off the lot into the ether' I see no reason to have buildings in the neighborhood.

The Arcade is already a good idea. Summercamp would also be neat.
Costumes, castles and hideouts made from "stuff", cardboard rockets to play pretend.
We already have a base for lots of fun interactions I bet those can be expanded.
i see it as a way to Bridge the gap of Child and teen and to make up for the Tall Teens.
Deal with it.
I've always played "pre-teens" in the past as just children or teens who are styled older or younger. It's just a state of life where you body and mind go through some changes, but your life isn't any different - there's no reason to make a new life stage in gameplay. It's also just about a two year period in your life which is really...nothing in the long term.
I know when I was a pre-teen that I felt it was an important stage of life, but it's really a small, small chapter.
As for the tall teens, given how negative the feedback is, I expect there to be a handy mod for slightly shorter teens within the first week or two.
So what others might like the idea of Pre-teens.
@SilentSpy0 was trying to express his opinion... Do you not want us to express opinions if they differ from your own? Alright nobody else post unless you agree completely. Come on guys... we're not welcome here.
i wasn't trying to Force @SilentSpy0 to like Pre-teens its just a opinion.
I actually like most of your ideas. I really want the burglar and playable ghosts to return. I'd also like having a law enforcement career back in the game. I'd also really love to have an arcade with arcade machines in the game. However there are a few things I'd like to point out.
1. It makes no sense to have npc burglars without npc police officers, since someone else is going to have to arrest the burglars if mom and dad aren't cops
2. I'm not sure, but I think Dish washing is still in the game. We just don't have dishwashers.
3. Schools in the Sims 4 aren't technically rabbit holes to begin with. They're off screen careers like in the Sims 1 and 2. Are you saying you think there should be an Ambitions style school venue in the game.
4. Not that big of a deal, but if they're going to add toy making, I would really like them to add toy stores as well.
5. As much as I like the idea of them adding pre teens, it might be a bit much to ask for if they're going to add toddlers, and I think I might prefer they bring back toddlers, if its one or the other.
That doesn't mean Cops can be NPCs too.
There might be such a mod, eventually, however, I would expect that when they interact with other age groups, the animations won't look right, since they will have original been designed for them being the same height as adults.
Yeah, for sure - I could see that. I would imagine it'd have to be a really slight difference rather than a very distinct difference like the past games.
(I also somewhat suspect that in one of the EPs, we will eventually see an official height slider with some limited range - this game has been pretty big on customizing body types, and I wouldn't be surprised to see that. It would take a bit of work on Maxis's end, but I could see it!)
