I know lots of people didn't like Showtime but it wasn't that bad.
IF they make another Showtime expansion pack for Sims 4, I want them to add more things for children and teens to do and interact with.
This could introduce... - Beauty Pageants: Children-Teens will compete with other sims in beauty pageants. You must dress your child according to the category and practice your routine down the runway for a trophy and cash prize (Also unlocks performing skill) - Talent Shows: Children-Teens will be able to perform what they have learned at talent shows hosted at parks or other community lots. Sing, dance, play an instrument, show off magic tricks, etc. Perform any skill at the talent show for a winning trophy and cash prize (Also unlocks performing skill)
That's all I have for now, tell me what you think?

Also if you win you get to go to interviews, gain celebrity points, visit different places, see your sim on TV ect... Love the idea. I didn't really like Showtime in The Sims 3 but if they have your ideas it will great!
I really want three different types of magic EPs. I want Sims 4: Mythology, Sims 4: Folklore, and Sims 4: Supernatural, because they are all very different types of things....I actually have more of it in another post...lemme just:
I want Sims 4: Mythology -During CAS, you can choose a "gift" for a sim: the Gift of Love, the Gift of Wisdom, the Gift of Strategy, etc. etc. that follows god/goddesses powers. Or possibly mythical families that are reminiscint of gods/goddesses of mythology -Mythological creatures, which are vastly different from supernatural creatures, so this would be satyrs, mermaids, sirens, Jotuns (aka Frost Giants), dwarves, elves, Amazons, cupids, nymphs, and possibly dragons (which could fall underneath two categories: the Chinese Dragon and the European Dragon) and phoenixes,
Sims 4: Supernatural -This would include creatures accumulated through stories and telltale such as werewolves (or weretigers, werecrocodiles, werehippos, ((all which are real things)), vampires (which are sorted into two categories: the Dracula Line and the Cullinane Line; those from the Dracula Line would be more classic while Cullinane Line would retain the special modern takes on the vampire), a more in-depth version of ghosts, zombies, and witches
Sims 4: Folklore -Folklore would span over more ancient "urban legends", which I hope for more in-depth creatures of Asian (particularly Japanese) descent due to their insanely creative ideas regarding folklore which is more prevalent in their continent than mythology or the supernatural (though they are also fond of ghosts) (and I don't mean this as being racist, as someone who enjoys mythology and folklore as well as a person who has had multiple Asian friends, I find that people who were raised with a connection to their roots have a predilection towards the supernatural. Most of my Asian friends believe in ghosts and through stories I know that Asia is more superstitious than Americans or Europeans (again, I don't mean this in a necessarily bad way, it is just an observance that has been observed by tonnes of others) -the Kitsune (a fox-like creature)/Gumiho/Huli Jing, any yokai such as the rokurokubi, Ame onna (which can be added if Seasons has already come out), Pixiu, Bifang, Unicorn, Mothman, the Grim (the dog, not the reaper)/Banshee, Chupacabra, Sewer alligator, Baku, Bigfoot
Also I want a more in-depth pets that includes farm life as well:
PETS -I want pets to be able to have careers just as they did in Sims 2 -I want more interactions for the smaller animals, like the hamsters and chinchillas and birds etc. -I want horses, cats, dogs, rodents, reptiles, but I would like the option to be able to have a wild animal as a pet through a long bonding experience with the animal, such as the sim would for a stray cat or wild horse, and with these I would like foxes (possibility of buying a silver fox for an expensive price), raccoons and ducks since these animals are kept as pets -Farm animals; I want to be able to own a farm with interactive cows, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, donkeys, turkeys, llamas, etc. -For farms I would also want the possibility of a sheep-herding dog -I somehow want a camel. I don't care how, I just want one. -BIG FISH TANKS
WILDLIFE -There needs to be wild birds, raccoons, foxes, deer, and any standard wild animal -I want more interactions such as bird watching, photography in general, attempting to approach the wild animal (because we all know everyone will attempt this at least once when faced with a deer)
VENUES -I want zoos/aquariums -I want them to be interactive, not just an 'oh they went into the building lets wait here until they come out'
CAREERS -For gods sake give me a vet career. Just please. How is this not the first job that comes to mind when it comes to animals? -Possibility for a job at the zoo/aquarium, perhaps even a zoo vet
OCCULTS -Possibilities for the magical animal: --Dragons --Griffin --Minotaur --Shapeshifters/Skinwalkers
Also, ideas for places in a world travelling EP:
I say South Korea for a more site-seeing a fun thing considering that South Korea has a really good amusement park and karaoke places as well as having a really cool culture, the Amazon for a more safari-type adventure through the jungle, and Greece where could be more of a tomb-searching adventure? Perhaps sims can discover the Labrynth and many Greek myths can be incorporated into the adventure. This way we have multiple different types of adventures. We could also have Mexico and the Aztec/Mayan ruins, an Antartica adventure to the North Pole (where sims could meet elves and Santa Claus). And on the subject of mythological places, there is always the option of incorporating the nine realms of Nordic mythology? Sims could visit Niflheim and meet the dead, or Muspelheim and come across fire and lava, as well as going to Asgard and eating a golden apple from the tree and gaining immortality whilst chatting up Odin and even an adventure to the icy tundra of Jotunheim to meet frost giants and maybe even enter a contest that is reminiscent of the contests that Thor, Loki, and Thjalfi entered in Utgard. Sorry, I'm a huge mythology nerd. But the matter is, that there are so many options with this world that it could become an EPIC AND AWESOME adventure in mythological places or a more lax site-seeing into the colorful culture of the Amazon and Korea.
(Note: as you can see I am very much into mythology)

Love your ideas! You must of put a lot of effort into this!
I'm sorry if someone already said this, but building on what others have said, I think there should be a family pack that should include: 1. Toddlers, the most obvious one 2. Being able to do a lot more with your babies and maybe toddlers... a. Strollers, to take your kids on walks b. Kiddie pools, letting your kid splash in the water c. etc 3. Bunk beds, not only with cc 4. The ability to hold a family reunion, where all the family members from all over town come visit you. 5. Family Progression, basically story progression (family members who have been moved out can have kids) 6. Family tree, I know there is already a family tree, but I wish that there was one where you could see the people that aren't directly related to you (eg. sister's husband) 7. Neighborhood parties, maybe a barbecue with the whole neighborhood. Also getting invited to parties not just throwing them.
Im not sure if any of these were mention but maybe for the pets expansion pack they can add the Veterinary career where you can work at a clinic and help animals and maybe even own an animal shelter. What Id also really love is maybe if they were to do another travelling/vacation expansion pack they can add animals like lions, tigers, jaguars, elephants and include more than 3 worlds!
Everyones Ideas are so great! I love reading about all the possibilities for the game!
My top 5 choices for EPs are City, Farm, School, Family, Seasons (not necessarily in that order)
With a city EP i'd like to have nightlife/dating incorporated as well as apartments. I think apartments would work really well in TS4! Id love to be able to call on your neighbour to hang out, or live on top of a coffee shop in the city. I hope they add a dating app and bring back turn ons/turn offs! It would be nice to be able to choose a variety of likes in another person, one sim might be very shallow and like certain body types and hair colour while another might not have a preference to that but be very trait oriented.
My Ideal farm EP would include pets (cats, dogs, hamster etc) as well as farm animals (horses, pigs, chickens, goats, cows etc) and include tools for larger gardening/growing larger crops (like green houses, tractors, sprinkler system, some kind of contraption to weed the garden very quickly). It would also be nice to be able to run a pet store or shelter if you also own get to work.
As for School, Id like University/College as well as private schools for kids/teens and night classes for working adults! Frats and Sororities should make a come back, and i think you should be able to hold fund raisers and use the money made toward the house! or throw fund "ragers" (party fundraisers). Clubs and sports would be a good edition to a school EP.
Family would make a good GP I think, adding toddlers at least and the ability to choose the length of a life state. Ive heard of others coming up with the idea of a family reunion as a new party type and I think thats fantastic! I also have thought a lot about the option to create multiple households at once in CAS so that you can create extended families. I guess that is kind of a long shot and I haven't ever heard of anyone else who's had that idea but I would love to be able to make grandparents and aunts/uncles and cousins all at once but have them living in separate houses. If expanding into an EP Id like to see more hobbies, like sewing, restoring cars, knitting, different types of dance, sports etc. But I think that that would make another fantastic GP too.
Last but not least is Seasons, I loved in TS3 when they had holidays and festivals! What a great way to have fun and socialize with other sims! Skating and snow boarding should make a come back as well as swimming on the beach!
I guess I am a realistic player which is why I love EPs that are more like real life!

And That's All! For Now... Edited: there were typos, including a weird one that changed "Spooky" to "plum"
I love everyone's ideas!!! I've read them all and most of them are very very doable I would think...
One thing about the sims 4...I appreciate the new depth to our sims...but I feel like the world and ease of playing has taken a step back...the reasons I loved the sims 3 over the sims 2 was the time it took to load everything....and I could change the colors of everything....I feel like we totally skipped all the advancements in the sims 3 and have reverted back to sim 2 land...but we have gone to the original sims without toddlers...you can't give us something in the base game for two versions and not give it to us in the latest version without expecting MAJOR negative feedback...the positive new and flashy developments will be overshadowed and lose their glamour..
On Supernatural expansion pack: - love the ideas of angels and demons to incorporate as a life forms as well as the gods/goddesses - I know most of these posts have wishes for different weres...but maybe narrow them down to about 3 major ones...like wolf, a large cat type,....and maybe a bear or something. - it would be very cool to have a Halloween town were its Halloween everyday of the year. - it was cool how there were zombies in the sims 3....but I didn't like how they destroyed everything and the only way we could protect our stuff was a fence and a peashooter.... if we have a zombie attack we should have an interaction where our sims can defeat them... -more cool supernatural plants would be cool -an alchemist career
On Seasons: - would love to set how long each lasts as we did in the sims 3 - would love for the kids to have spring break, fall break, Christmas break. summer break from school - more vacation spots - love the holidays, wish we could have them more in depth.. - would love to be able to make a greenhouse without having to move all my plants in buy/build mode after I've planted them all - I would like to make my own pond or be able to put fish that we have caught from their ponds into our fountains
On Generations: - would really love toddlers back, there are so many interactions possible and they were such a major part of the game for the last two versions... - boarding school is cool, but you never see your kid unless u pull them out and they never age if you have the age-up off...if have boarding school, they should have breaks were they come home, or make them come home on weekends. - would love more games to play, like a baseball, football, darts, board games where you could pull them out like a toy and put it back in a chest, basketball games, games that they family can play together other than using the card table... - more school functions, prom, football homecoming... - maybe have where they kids could play a sport and the family could go watch them play - I love the idea of a family reunion party option - want the option to kiss our kids goodnight or tuck the kids in... - pool games!!! marco polo, or water basketball....more interactions when playing in the pool... also splashing should not be seen as negative but playful...unless angry of course (angry splash or something). - loved the idea to pick how long it takes to age-up each generation!!!
Pets/Farm: I absolutely love the ideas about farms, pets and zoos... - a Vet career, dog walker (teen), Dog/ Cat trainer, Farmer - I wish we could have a profession option like in the sims 3... I like growing plants and have my person make there living as that, but my sims is considered unemployed... - I love the idea of having interactive farm animals, in the sims 3 when we got the chicken coop and the milkshed option, we really didn't need eggs and milk to make anything... maybe incorporate the need for these items in some of the recipes, like scrambled eggs, cakes and make them cheaper to make or if you have everything $0... - love the idea of pet careers!!! especially if you have trained them to do everything... -goats to get cheese, cows to get milk, chickens and ducks to get eggs (have the different ones to be used in different recipes), pigs for bacon, sheep to get wool (maybe incorporate clothes one can only get when they make them themselves)
I'm sure we can all think of more great upgrades to the game we all love!!!!!
@John Doe We aren't allowed to ask for anything remotly disabled. The EA/Sims tea consider it a form of lobbying. Also It wouldn't be right just having a wheelchair sim as a 'token' sim unless we had blind/deaf sims as well.
Comments
IF they make another Showtime expansion pack for Sims 4, I want them to add more things for children and teens to do and interact with.
This could introduce...
- Beauty Pageants: Children-Teens will compete with other sims in beauty pageants. You must dress your child according to the category and practice your routine down the runway for a trophy and cash prize (Also unlocks performing skill)
- Talent Shows: Children-Teens will be able to perform what they have learned at talent shows hosted at parks or other community lots. Sing, dance, play an instrument, show off magic tricks, etc. Perform any skill at the talent show for a winning trophy and cash prize (Also unlocks performing skill)
That's all I have for now, tell me what you think?
~tasteofsweetness - Living the Simming Life since late 2000 Sims 3~
Also if you win you get to go to interviews, gain celebrity points, visit different places, see your sim on TV ect... Love the idea. I didn't really like Showtime in The Sims 3 but if they have your ideas it will great!
Thanks!! You are the best
I love your idea but I could see it being a really good Stuff/Game Pack!
I want Sims 4: Mythology
-During CAS, you can choose a "gift" for a sim: the Gift of Love, the Gift of Wisdom, the Gift of Strategy, etc. etc. that follows god/goddesses powers. Or possibly mythical families that are reminiscint of gods/goddesses of mythology
-Mythological creatures, which are vastly different from supernatural creatures, so this would be satyrs, mermaids, sirens, Jotuns (aka Frost Giants), dwarves, elves, Amazons, cupids, nymphs, and possibly dragons (which could fall underneath two categories: the Chinese Dragon and the European Dragon) and phoenixes,
Sims 4: Supernatural
-This would include creatures accumulated through stories and telltale such as werewolves (or weretigers, werecrocodiles, werehippos, ((all which are real things)), vampires (which are sorted into two categories: the Dracula Line and the Cullinane Line; those from the Dracula Line would be more classic while Cullinane Line would retain the special modern takes on the vampire), a more in-depth version of ghosts, zombies, and witches
Sims 4: Folklore
-Folklore would span over more ancient "urban legends", which I hope for more in-depth creatures of Asian (particularly Japanese) descent due to their insanely creative ideas regarding folklore which is more prevalent in their continent than mythology or the supernatural (though they are also fond of ghosts) (and I don't mean this as being racist, as someone who enjoys mythology and folklore as well as a person who has had multiple Asian friends, I find that people who were raised with a connection to their roots have a predilection towards the supernatural. Most of my Asian friends believe in ghosts and through stories I know that Asia is more superstitious than Americans or Europeans (again, I don't mean this in a necessarily bad way, it is just an observance that has been observed by tonnes of others)
-the Kitsune (a fox-like creature)/Gumiho/Huli Jing, any yokai such as the rokurokubi, Ame onna (which can be added if Seasons has already come out), Pixiu, Bifang, Unicorn, Mothman, the Grim (the dog, not the reaper)/Banshee, Chupacabra, Sewer alligator, Baku, Bigfoot
Also I want a more in-depth pets that includes farm life as well:
PETS
-I want pets to be able to have careers just as they did in Sims 2
-I want more interactions for the smaller animals, like the hamsters and chinchillas and birds etc.
-I want horses, cats, dogs, rodents, reptiles, but I would like the option to be able to have a wild animal as a pet through a long bonding experience with the animal, such as the sim would for a stray cat or wild horse, and with these I would like foxes (possibility of buying a silver fox for an expensive price), raccoons and ducks since these animals are kept as pets
-Farm animals; I want to be able to own a farm with interactive cows, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, donkeys, turkeys, llamas, etc.
-For farms I would also want the possibility of a sheep-herding dog
-I somehow want a camel. I don't care how, I just want one.
-BIG FISH TANKS
WILDLIFE
-There needs to be wild birds, raccoons, foxes, deer, and any standard wild animal
-I want more interactions such as bird watching, photography in general, attempting to approach the wild animal (because we all know everyone will attempt this at least once when faced with a deer)
VENUES
-I want zoos/aquariums
-I want them to be interactive, not just an 'oh they went into the building lets wait here until they come out'
CAREERS
-For gods sake give me a vet career. Just please. How is this not the first job that comes to mind when it comes to animals?
-Possibility for a job at the zoo/aquarium, perhaps even a zoo vet
OCCULTS
-Possibilities for the magical animal:
--Dragons
--Griffin
--Minotaur
--Shapeshifters/Skinwalkers
Also, ideas for places in a world travelling EP:
I say South Korea for a more site-seeing a fun thing considering that South Korea has a really good amusement park and karaoke places as well as having a really cool culture, the Amazon for a more safari-type adventure through the jungle, and Greece where could be more of a tomb-searching adventure? Perhaps sims can discover the Labrynth and many Greek myths can be incorporated into the adventure. This way we have multiple different types of adventures. We could also have Mexico and the Aztec/Mayan ruins, an Antartica adventure to the North Pole (where sims could meet elves and Santa Claus). And on the subject of mythological places, there is always the option of incorporating the nine realms of Nordic mythology? Sims could visit Niflheim and meet the dead, or Muspelheim and come across fire and lava, as well as going to Asgard and eating a golden apple from the tree and gaining immortality whilst chatting up Odin and even an adventure to the icy tundra of Jotunheim to meet frost giants and maybe even enter a contest that is reminiscent of the contests that Thor, Loki, and Thjalfi entered in Utgard. Sorry, I'm a huge mythology nerd. But the matter is, that there are so many options with this world that it could become an EPIC AND AWESOME adventure in mythological places or a more lax site-seeing into the colorful culture of the Amazon and Korea.
(Note: as you can see I am very much into mythology)
> Your ideas are too specific for an EP.
How so?
Like for example, the Go to School: Seriously? A one thing to do Ep?

Honestly, the ideas for a simple concept are endless. Go to Work is an EP? It's obviously not too specific. (:
Love your ideas! You must of put a lot of effort into this!
> Love your ideas! You must of put a lot of effort into this! <3
Ah, thanks! (:
I'm sorry if someone already said this, but building on what others have said, I think there should be a family pack that should include:
1. Toddlers, the most obvious one
2. Being able to do a lot more with your babies and maybe toddlers...
a. Strollers, to take your kids on walks
b. Kiddie pools, letting your kid splash in the water
c. etc
3. Bunk beds, not only with cc
4. The ability to hold a family reunion, where all the family members from all over town come visit you.
5. Family Progression, basically story progression (family members who have been moved out can have kids)
6. Family tree, I know there is already a family tree, but I wish that there was one where you could see the people that aren't directly related to you (eg. sister's husband)
7. Neighborhood parties, maybe a barbecue with the whole neighborhood. Also getting invited to parties not just throwing them.
Thanks for reading
What Id also really love is maybe if they were to do another travelling/vacation expansion pack they can add animals like lions, tigers, jaguars, elephants and include more than 3 worlds!
My top 5 choices for EPs are City, Farm, School, Family, Seasons (not necessarily in that order)
With a city EP i'd like to have nightlife/dating incorporated as well as apartments. I think apartments would work really well in TS4! Id love to be able to call on your neighbour to hang out, or live on top of a coffee shop in the city. I hope they add a dating app and bring back turn ons/turn offs! It would be nice to be able to choose a variety of likes in another person, one sim might be very shallow and like certain body types and hair colour while another might not have a preference to that but be very trait oriented.
My Ideal farm EP would include pets (cats, dogs, hamster etc) as well as farm animals (horses, pigs, chickens, goats, cows etc) and include tools for larger gardening/growing larger crops (like green houses, tractors, sprinkler system, some kind of contraption to weed the garden very quickly). It would also be nice to be able to run a pet store or shelter if you also own get to work.
As for School, Id like University/College as well as private schools for kids/teens and night classes for working adults! Frats and Sororities should make a come back, and i think you should be able to hold fund raisers and use the money made toward the house! or throw fund "ragers" (party fundraisers). Clubs and sports would be a good edition to a school EP.
Family would make a good GP I think, adding toddlers at least and the ability to choose the length of a life state. Ive heard of others coming up with the idea of a family reunion as a new party type and I think thats fantastic! I also have thought a lot about the option to create multiple households at once in CAS so that you can create extended families. I guess that is kind of a long shot and I haven't ever heard of anyone else who's had that idea but I would love to be able to make grandparents and aunts/uncles and cousins all at once but have them living in separate houses. If expanding into an EP Id like to see more hobbies, like sewing, restoring cars, knitting, different types of dance, sports etc. But I think that that would make another fantastic GP too.
Last but not least is Seasons, I loved in TS3 when they had holidays and festivals! What a great way to have fun and socialize with other sims! Skating and snow boarding should make a come back as well as swimming on the beach!
I guess I am a realistic player which is why I love EPs that are more like real life!
Great
Good!

And That's All! For Now...
Edited: there were typos, including a weird one that changed "Spooky" to "plum"
One thing about the sims 4...I appreciate the new depth to our sims...but I feel like the world and ease of playing has taken a step back...the reasons I loved the sims 3 over the sims 2 was the time it took to load everything....and I could change the colors of everything....I feel like we totally skipped all the advancements in the sims 3 and have reverted back to sim 2 land...but we have gone to the original sims without toddlers...you can't give us something in the base game for two versions and not give it to us in the latest version without expecting MAJOR negative feedback...the positive new and flashy developments will be overshadowed and lose their glamour..
On Supernatural expansion pack:
- love the ideas of angels and demons to incorporate as a life forms as well as the gods/goddesses
- I know most of these posts have wishes for different weres...but maybe narrow them down to about 3 major ones...like wolf, a large cat type,....and maybe a bear or something.
- it would be very cool to have a Halloween town were its Halloween everyday of the year.
- it was cool how there were zombies in the sims 3....but I didn't like how they destroyed everything and the only way we could protect our stuff was a fence and a peashooter.... if we have a zombie attack we should have an interaction where our sims can defeat them...
-more cool supernatural plants would be cool
-an alchemist career
On Seasons:
- would love to set how long each lasts as we did in the sims 3
- would love for the kids to have spring break, fall break, Christmas break. summer break from school
- more vacation spots
- love the holidays, wish we could have them more in depth..
- would love to be able to make a greenhouse without having to move all my plants in buy/build mode after I've planted them all
- I would like to make my own pond or be able to put fish that we have caught from their ponds into our fountains
On Generations:
- would really love toddlers back, there are so many interactions possible and they were such a major part of the game for the last two versions...
- boarding school is cool, but you never see your kid unless u pull them out and they never age if you have the age-up off...if have boarding school, they should have breaks were they come home, or make them come home on weekends.
- would love more games to play, like a baseball, football, darts, board games where you could pull them out like a toy and put it back in a chest, basketball games, games that they family can play together other than using the card table...
- more school functions, prom, football homecoming...
- maybe have where they kids could play a sport and the family could go watch them play
- I love the idea of a family reunion party option
- want the option to kiss our kids goodnight or tuck the kids in...
- pool games!!! marco polo, or water basketball....more interactions when playing in the pool... also splashing should not be seen as negative but playful...unless angry of course (angry splash or something).
- loved the idea to pick how long it takes to age-up each generation!!!
Pets/Farm:
I absolutely love the ideas about farms, pets and zoos...
- a Vet career, dog walker (teen), Dog/ Cat trainer, Farmer
- I wish we could have a profession option like in the sims 3... I like growing plants and have my person make there living as that, but my sims is considered unemployed...
- I love the idea of having interactive farm animals, in the sims 3 when we got the chicken coop and the milkshed option, we really didn't need eggs and milk to make anything... maybe incorporate the need for these items in some of the recipes, like scrambled eggs, cakes and make them cheaper to make or if you have everything $0...
- love the idea of pet careers!!! especially if you have trained them to do everything...
-goats to get cheese, cows to get milk, chickens and ducks to get eggs (have the different ones to be used in different recipes), pigs for bacon, sheep to get wool (maybe incorporate clothes one can only get when they make them themselves)
I'm sure we can all think of more great upgrades to the game we all love!!!!!
