Absolutely, 100% agree you with on this!! It would have been absolutely amazing to have proper Native American Culture included. I can't believe they added so little?! Really disrespectful and completely wrong! EA should DO BETTER!
And as for gameplay?! What gameplay lol! It's all rabbit holes and I found it completely and utterly boring! They could have properly fleshed it out like cottage living, there was SO much to do in that EP! They should have released Horse Ranch as a GP at the very least!
Anyway, wishlist for TS4...
After Horse Ranch, I sincerely hope any EP they try and release has actual gameplay, new careers, new PROPER aspirations etc. That's my first wish!
Bands EP
I would love Fairies, I think that could be fun
Hotels would be fun too
I would love more active careers, maybe if they did a get to work refresh. More degree's in university that help you with the new careers.
My wish list: 1)More occults/occult related- I'm not particular, anything will do but for some reason chupacabra is in my head. (Go ahead, let your mini goats run free) 2) I like the idea of an underwater world. It would definitely make mermaids more fun. 3)Bands. Maybe with concert venue/rehearsal hall lot traits, a new career: Roadie.
I recently commented on this thread and I have more things I thought about.
- Masquerades - More high school sports (Ngl that high school years trailer really made e believe we were gonna have track and field.) - New sitting animations (cuz why can't I sit cross-legged on the bed?!?!) - Disabled sims (Like sims can walk using crutches, have wheelchairs, an interaction to help a sim in a wheelchair by pushing the sim in the wheelchair)
I saw how the person who made this post wanted fairies, well you do need the realm of magic game pack to use this mod, there is a mod that adds fairies and witches.
Cars
Bands with performance space & arenas
active horse races and competitions with betting
active show dog competitions
Fairies
vacation hotel system
casinos w card tables
multipurpose lot type
pet birds
active ferry boat rides
active trolley rides
vacation swamp tours in willow's creek
strollers
canes and wheelchairs for the elderly, disabled and temporarily disabled by injury
elevators
spiral stairs
townhouse systems with multiple houses on one lot but you one play as one family at a time, but can visit your neighbors all the time
multiple family buildings with apartments (again, play as certain family at a time and visit the others acting as npc within same lot)
vineyard lot type
horse stables lot type
travel to the past- all worlds
travel to the future- all worlds
Disney world amusement pack-
(like Journey to Batuu but an amusement park revamped more like Disney, with proper sleeping accommodations in world, like Disney resorts)
pool tables
more worlds
diving boards
skateboarding
surfing
zoos- more animals
safaris and safari rides -more animals
Retail system needs revamping- heckling someone to buy just about anything doesn't seem right
& prices of things are way off too
Height slider
teens a little shorter and younger looking
family event where entire family tree come over
more architectural technology and detail
roof wall glass inclosure
more structural systems
airports
school of architecture
active architecture career
ability to build skyscrapers
a new city world
Large multi-purpose building complex with "open world" to other apartments and stores cafes...
more awards systems
fixed accolade award system
hair salons
unlock more lots which which are already in the game but unplayable.
more active careers
eg.
dr home office, practice
drs make house calls
psychologist home office
horse vet
stylist
i think the sims 4 should have 3 options feminine gender neutral & muscular because i swear the hole muscular cas is just gender neutral its great the sims should have one of everything but if everything is gender neutral meaning u are excluves to muscular,that takes the hole point away from being inclusive,nothing upsets me more than going into full body category for hot weather & seeing 3 outfits, not to mention that two of those are alien costumes & the third one is reserved for elderly men on vacation in hawaii.
Everyone's ideas are incredible! Hope the devs are reading this thread.
My greatest wish is for a Monte Carlo type world with hotels and casinos.
A few other things on my shortlist are:
Bands/Orchestras/Concerts
A Dating System
More afterschool activities for kids & teens
Refreshes for Dining Out, Island Living, Get to Work and Granite Falls
An empty (free) world with 10-15 lots
I'm entirely with you on Hotels and Bands. I don't play occult so I can live without the fairies, but I do get why people who do play occult games want them.
I would also really, really, want more refreshes. Especially to get to work and dine out.
Yes, I think get to work and dine out need refreshes.too. Well dine out just mainly needs to be fixed, but a refresh adding the owners being able to be cooks would be really nice, get to work needs a lot of things refreshed.and updated. I want grocery store bins for produce. We need to be able to sell sugar, flour, cartons of eggs, bottles of milk, mayonnaise, etc. now that they have been added to cottage living. There needs to be an update where we don’t have to own the retail business for our sims to be able to buy stuff there. We need a simple clothing trait where CAS items need to be bought to ooen it up to wear. We should be able to try on any combinations in a dressing room, but be able to buy pieces individually to open it up for our sims to use. We really need a costume party category too, so our rotational sims will come to a party dressed the way we have set up for them.
I really want a toggle to allow me to set up school breaks. I know I can create holidays but that gives kids and adults the day off. I want to be able to give my school age sims the summer off from school.
Thought of a few more things, not sure if they've already been mentioned but here goes;
Online dating app - I know there's mods for this but it would be cool if they added an app on the phone like trendi
Zodiac signs - Could tie in with the above, for compatibility. I also think it would be cool if you select the sims traits in CAS and it matches the most likely sign based on traits, like in the sims 2. Or you could select a zodiac sign of your choice and it gives a reward trait based on the zodiac sign, like Scorpio romance actions are more successful, or Leo's gain more confidence from compliments, that sort of thing! There's many different ways they could be brought back!
More after school clubs for children that boost skill gain or grant reward traits
More hairstyles for toddlers
Any new careers added with EPs/Game packs have a relevant degree (doesn't have to be new degree's added, that would be awesome though)
Would love to see more crafts and hobbies added eventually, like pottery, jewellery making etc. that can be sold on plopsy.
Careers - sims 3 I'm looking at you! Would love to see more active careers, such as tattoo artist, firefighter, private investigator, and stylist brought back. They were really fun to play. Hairdresser, magician, tarot reader and estate agent would be fun too, active or not!

- ARCHERY is another Native American Hobby as that is how they used to hunt for their food.
- CANOEING and Canoe Making is another hobby the Native America's do, Carved tree bark, indigenous canoes were sturdy and handmade, held together with thin weaved leather.
- Skinning animals for, leather, meat, and clothing.
- There are actually NO reference in the Native American culture in the game when in comes to Hair or Clothing, only Cowboy stuff...
-Where's a Museum in the town with a tour guide showing us and telling us about the Native American Culture? I mean they have Debug shell lots that could turn into a Museum...
- Where is the Holiday lot where you can camp in a Native American Teepee and even meet the Chief?
- In the Native American Culture they deeply believe in their connection with their ancestors and animals, where is this function in gameplay?
THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THE SIMS TEAM COULD'VE DONE TO MAKE THE PACK A REAL FUN AND EXPERIENCED EXPANSION PACK, BUT THEY WERE DEFINITELY RUSHED BY THE LOOKS OF THE GAME...

I was hoping we would get basket weaving.
Functional baskets that we can store fruits and vegies and eggs in would be awesome.
1. Fairies - I’m not a huge occult player, but I thought that fairies in TS3 were really fun, so I’d love to have them for my occults save.
2. Bands/Concerts - I love concerts, so I think that something along those lines could be fun.
3. The Wizard Of Oz - Lol, if they ever do another game pack based on a movie (witch I highly doubt), I would personally love The Wizard Of Oz. I’m not a Star Wars fan, but I actually thought that the concept & crossover was pretty cool.
4. IKEA - The IKEA pack was one of my favorite packs in the Sims 2. I would love another collab with IKEA or furniture company. The furniture is totally my style.
Cars (sims 2 style). A POOl TABLE already Please ea. and an amusement park, drum set… I’m pretty simple…. Oooh a real hotel that we don’t necessarily have to run
The main things I want the most, and have since Sims 4 came out 9 years ago, is the ability to build apartments like we could in Sims 2. I was so disappointed, as many were, when City Living came out and did not have this option. I am hoping this new EP leak is true and finally allows apt building. Next, I would really like to be able to favourite cas, build and buy mode items so I do not have to spend so much time searching for things I use often. Also, without having to use a mod that does not work very well, be able to have more than 8 sims in one family and not count pets as one of those allowed, example allow 20 sims per family and 10 pets, or even 12 sims and 8 pets. 8 is just too low of a number especially when having a pet uses one of those spots.
Other-
Pool/swimming activities - swim up bar, pool slide, pool volleyball/basketball, other games.
Live in Nanny
Butler fixes so they actually do their job- ability to click on item and have option "tell butler to clean up"
Building options-
Be able to build split levels
Bring basements above ground and be able to put windows in the basement without having gaps in the terrain around the house
Round/curved pools
Build a hot tub right into a pool
Sliders for curtain so they fit properly
Platforms and Foundations fix - where you can easily make different sizes attached to each other, where raising or lowering one doesn't do it for all. (For example build a garage that is ground level attached to the house that is a few notches
Slider tools for some of the wall paints to adjust the colour.
Auto Roof tool, and more roof building options that make it easier to smooth one roof piece into another.
Stairs fix so when you have split stairs it does not show a line on the outside of the house.
In CAS I would like sliders to give sims different heights.
Ability to copy and paste sim so you can create identical sims for creating twins and change the sex where it will keep the basics (skin, hair, facial features).
Also, super important, the ability to turn certain pack aspects off completely. For example use the world and items in Get Famous, but have fame/celebrities completely turned off, or use Vampires items, but turn off vampires and so on.
