With Vampires already here and Pets imminent, Seasons is the last thing on my list. After that there isn't anything that I have a specific need or want for. Whatever comes, comes.
so there isn't anythng else you think would be fun so you wouldn't want dragons or werewolves @OEII1001
I'd love a true Eco Living Game Pack. One that really reflects greener living. Water bottles in place of the "get water" function, solar panels, windmills, electric cars or bicycles. Composter that creates fertilizer for Sims with the Green Thumb, a clothesline, recycling bin.
For me it would be a university pack, and a real vacation pack. I'd basically like The Sims 4 to be The Sims 2, with emotions and better graphics. That game imo did everything right. When we got Granite Falls GP, I was so disappointed. Why not just have a big EP with lots of spaces to go, ala Bon Voyage? I don't see the point of GP's at all, because they are so small and give you like 5 items and 2-3 new things to do. I'd rather just have big expansion packs and big stuff packs.
I'd like the university pack to make a real difference in the education for the sims though. Instad of just building up your skills, you could get a degree that would unlock a high-paying job right away, that you couldn't get otherwise. Maybe unless you were born into a high-educated family, or have high charisma skills or something. Anyway, something other than just building up skills. But I really liked the sororities/hidden brotherhoods etc from The Sims 2 university. That was awesome.
I may be a little cynical, but I don't really see any real reason for adding GP's to begin with.
EDIT: Another thing that's high on my list, if not on the top- is neighborhood customization. That was one of the biggest things about Sims 2 that made me come back time and time again. Terrain, how many lots, how big they are, skies, mountains, uneven terrain, beaches, other decorations ++. This + university would make Sims 4 very complete for me.
"Don't make people into heroes, John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them." - Sherlock
Free update to anyone - Option to turn on/off open neighborhood or lot. (which means you don't need loading screen as long the lot is located in same district)
New Expansion:
New Fully Explorable City World divided by district (Cheap Residential Area, Mid Residential Area, High Class Residential Area, Fashion and Entertainment District, Beach and Pier District, Shopping and Restaurant District). - You still need loading screen if travel to another district.
Interactive Travel (only available in new world, can only use to travel to different district): hire taxi by on the spot, walk until end of the district area and using subway.
I would love more deaths? I'd love more death that struck without warning, or when it did strike, was not preventable if you just don't continue to do something (which generally the sims usually won't autonomously continue with death-making things, so to get them to die, you have to push them). Although there are some 'death if you stand by and watch like a monster' things which is pretty good. I was legitimately so disappointed when the death pack was listed as an option for the community created pack and it did not win. I saw that and I just wanted it so so bad. Hopefully they'll revisit it at some point.
Generally, I just want more traits. I loved Parenthood because the traits you can get through upbringing can really pack a punch, and I love seeing my sims really stand out in personality. So more trait options would be great.
I'm starting to sound like a horrible person, aren't I?
I guess I want more stuff that is out of my control, because I love when ridiculous things happen naturally and take me by surprise.
I would like to see werewolves as well, which is unusual for me.
Also, body hair.
GIVE ME ALL THE HAIRIEST SIMS, MAXIS. I NEED THEM.
I actually dont know to be honest. I feel like we need another classic themed ep, maybe university or magic (supernatural)
Edit: I also would like to see a farming ep. Ive always been one of the people thats kind of seen a farming pack as a bit meh but after playing with the gardening skill i can see how it could actually be super fun.
For me, the top two are definitely Active School (I'm more interested in this for kids and teens than I am in University) and Rural/Farming.

Oh boy, there's so much I still wanna see in this iteration besides Seasons.
Farming EP (I believe a GP couldn't get the scope we imagine for the pack)
School EP (Just give us the tools to create a teaching system instead of just Uni. So we could create skill classes, workshops, supernatural schools and personalized colleges)
Art/Superstar EP (It's a must. I want acting, theaters, movies, and a fame system integrated to various branches of careers)
Witches GP
Tropical GP
Transportation GP
Romance GP
Bands GP (or in the superstars EP)
Sports GP
That all being said, I also want them to surprise me with things I'm not expecting, as happened with Get Together. TS4 needs more exclusive features.
The main thing I would love to see is a farming expansion or game pack with animals. Being able to build a chicken coup, collect eggs, breed animals to sell . I don't want the animals taking up people's slots though, just possibly breeding, chickens laying eggs, to sell, or use for recipes, or hatching, cows for milking or use as food and breeding , goats, pigs and horses, though I think horses might be nice in a a game pack of their own. I would like to see more crops like grain, corn, hay and of course lots of things found on a farm. I would like to see a canning station, butter churn, sewing machine, cabinets to store fruits veggies, etc, like the chests we can store stuff in, and, a sewing machine, I would love to see create a style wheel for clothes that are sewed! Oh, and a farmer aspiration, maybe a couple farming traits if possible.
I would also like to see some vacation packs, hotels, casino stuff, amusement part stuff, ocean swimming, houseboats, I am kind of curious what that pack was where they were talking about visiting various spots on vacation. A nice place to bring in Cars, which I miss.
Some stuff that has to do with romance... interactive fur rugs, picnic stuff, wedding stuff, etc.
Eventually a movie studio pack, a university expansion, some generation stuff, like an elders pack, an active teacher career, I love the active careers. I would like to see volleyball brought back and see children being able to play tag, cops and robbers etc. with each other. Also some park equipment for children, like a swing, slide, merry go round , etc.
I would also like to see some kind of explorer pack with a archeologist active career.
A beauty salon pack would be great too....changing people's hairstyles, doing nails, giving facials.... a pack like this would go great with the spa day pack.... I would love to see a lot of new hairstyles added in one pack.... I always enjoy the new hairs in a pack!
University EP with a bunch of non active careers added (and tons of traits and aspirations added)- law, educator, marine biologist, botanist, slacker, paranormal, military, etc etc
Freetime/ Farming combo EP with lots of new craftables and hobbies. Chickens, bees, nectar making (as detailed as World Adventures), jam making, craft brewing, soap making, sewing (use Create A Pet tools to design unique clothes). New harvestables of course: wheat, barley, malt, many varieties of grapes, soybeans (use soy or beeswax for soap)
Jobs GP. Just regular jobs pay raises that come with experience and reputation increase. No promotions. Pretty much all tradesjobs (mostly non active) with 1, maybe 2 active ones- follow your plumber/ electrician as he goes around fixing stuff. Treat customers well to get good customer satisfaction feedback and possibly a tip. Jobs: plumber, hairdresser/ barber, electrician, garbage man, factory worker, train conductor, janitor. Lots of cheap furniture because lower pay for a longer time
The thing I would like the most is more vacation destinations: a sunny, tropical place with beaches (and swimmable ocean!) is something I could kill for, haha.
Other smaller things I'd like are more jobs - not even active careers, just regular ol' jobs - and more things for teens and to do. Bowling is nice, but something like an arcade or an amusement park would be amazing. Also more traits (specifically personality traits, like 'shy' or 'introverted' or 'cool-headed' to contrast with the existing 'outgoing' and 'hot-headed' traits) and, possibly even more importantly, more trait slots for the love of pete. I also agree with the suggestion earlier in the thread for more different ways to craft different things, like knitting and sculpting.
Also also, maybe it's just me but it kind of bothers me how non-played sims always go to places by themselves and never with their families. I'd like to see families go to parks, bowling alleys and amusement parks together.
I agree with a ton of these suggestions. University, more vacation spots/things to do, definitely self-employment, and for sure body piercings. And I'd like more skills/hobbies. Something like Freetime would be great - especially now that we've got this club system. So adding more skills or hobbies would feel like my sims have something to do, and give me a reason to start using clubs again. After school activities, which I could be tied into a Freetime-esque pack, would also be appreciated. My teen sim born into a nice family doesn't need to work, but I almost feel like she should just so she has something to do after class .
I would also love more traits, to be honest. I'd also like a bit of a redo on some traits. For instance, I got really excited when I saw the Jealous trait because I thought it'd bring things like "richer than me" or "better grades than me", but it's just about romance. Which, to be honest is the most common form of jealousy - but I get jealous about other things than my significant other. But that's just my preference, it doesn't bother me one way or another.
Hmmm.. Maybe University, or even Supernatural. I want the option to send Sims to college, but I also want to be a witch. Another plus for me with a Supernatural pack would be spooky items. But I definitely want Seasons before any of this. I do, however, want a "Rock Star" career in the game again, with the ability to form bands. So it's kind of hard to choose what exactly I want next right after Seasons.
!! Mermaids !!

I would love if they could make a patch or something for Get to Work an add the ticket machine for the sims 2. I would love to be able to make a spa home business, it would be really fun
That would be remotely all the EPs I need... Aside from GPs, that are the Sorcerers GP, and Werewolves GP, I guess the leisure Eps would then be "World Adventure/Destinations" Eps
I'd love a Reimagined/Restored Ancient Greece/Roman empire 2017 style world.
What I enjoyed most from world adventures, aside from traveling, was the tomb/temple raiding.
A few things I'd like my Sim to do (After he get's his magic back.) is Travel the world and collect mythical objects
-Pandora's Box
-Poseidon's Trident (maybe mermaids can be introduced in this pack)
-Aphrodite's Amulet
-Eye of Gorgon
-the Eye of Fates
Show Time kind of a deal.
sim can become a Celebrity (Writer, Actor, Singer, Producer)
it's all active Career.
I want two look at my sims the way I look at Beyoncé when she's on stage.
the way they interact with the fans, dance the choreography, and sing, at the same time.
I think I only really want university, which is strange because I often found the original university concept dragged on - but with some tweaks it would be great considering the emphatic life stages.
I am one of the minority (I think) that sees no point in the pets pack and doesn't understand why it got priority over University or other stuff. I guess a lot of people wanted pets? I had the Sims 2 pack for that but it basically ruined gameplay because of all the strays peeing on lots or causing a nusiance
The only other thing I want is something someone else mentioned in another thread which is an elder game pack. I want nursing homes with residents who sneak out or elope with the widow next door or who turn elder and decide to start a new life as a globetrotter or something like that. I can't remember who first raised the idea but I absolutely agree that there is so very little for the elder life stage and there should be more in my opinion.
I'm pretty much with you on pets. I am looking forward to being a vet though! They never put chows in cas and that is the only dog I really love. I have two of them. I want university also and an elders pack like you said would be amazing I think. Also there is another simmer who wants witches back with a chance to collect mythical artefacts that I think would be awesome to play. We can but hope that our wishes and wants become haves and holds.

But if I wanted a virtual farming with relationship building I'd go and play Stardew Valley.
so there isn't anythng else you think would be fun so you wouldn't want dragons or werewolves @OEII1001
