Thats what i got so far.
Gain preeminence by becoming an actor, actress, stage actor, photographer, supermodel, magazine reporter, news anchor and several other possibilities! Let fame reach home!
The Sims 4: Amusement
Your town becomes full of fun out there. Carnival, Mini-Golf, Zoos, Opera, and many more option out at town.
I want basic critters in the base, then later we get more (and by later, I mean like… the first or second). I wish we could tame any type of wild life at some point in the game as well. We can snag birds, snakes, rodents, and turtles, but not raccoons and deer! I would like to see wildlife generations a bit as well. A doe with her fawn(s), a buck out on his own, duck/geese families swimming in ponds and nesting under bushes… Heck, it'd be fun to be able to raid nests and incubate your own eggs, hatching them and creating small coops/huts and keeping them in the yard... having a deer farm, both regular and albino (I want to customize all colors!)
A farm life game would bring new animals/pets to table along with new food, interactions, and a possibility of new skills.
Animals could include:
-Cattle (possibility of a few different breeds)
-pigs
-sheep
-goats
-chickens
-ducks
-LLAMAS!
-Horses (returning)
-cats (returning)
-dogs (returning)
Wild animals that could be tamed and bred later
-ducks/geese (raid the nests)
-raccoons
-deer
-foxes
-wolves
-horses (like the wild ones running around)
-rabbits
Farm animals would be NPC (this does not include horses/cats/dogs, though I’m not overly fond of having complete control over my pets) they could be customizable (colors). They could be able to breed and you can sell off some of them when you find your farm has too many or send them off to the butcher (they would go to a butcher shop rabbit hole where you pick up the goods the next day- we eat the fish, why not the cows?)
-Ability to build coops, huts, stalls, barns
-Ability to build pastures, runs
-ability to build kennels/indoor puppy pens where the mother and pups stay together (puppies and kittens have to stay in an infant stage and nurse for a few days before being sold/adopted)
Skills
-riding (horses)
-Milking (cows)
-sewing (from sheering sheep and creating outfits. Ugly grandma sweaters for Christmas anyone?)
With any of these farm animals, it could bring new recipes to the table. Making cakes, eating steaks, porkchops, scrambled eggs, ham.
Crops could be harvested in mass ( larger plots would take longer to care for- something like rabbit holes)
-alfalfa
-corn
-beans
-wheat
-hay
-sugar cane
Jobs/professions
-veterinarian
-farmer
-breeder
And I'm not going to lie... with them introducing mermaids, I wouldn't mind an underwater neighborhood sometime. And moving to the alien's planet as a neighborhood would be cool as well.
Convert sims medieval to sims 4.
Convert Civ city Rome to sims 4.
Convert roller coaster tycoon to sims 4.
convert circus empire to sims 4.
convert restaurant 1 & 2 to sims 4.
convert zoo empire, etc to sims 4.
convert railroad empire to sims 4.
Make a real farming EP like said above.
No online anything in sims 4.
Seasons
.Weather Effects: rain, snow, hail, wind, fog, thunderstorms, sleet, and freezing rain.
.Weather Channel: Weather radars, weather alerts include advisories, watches and warnings, temperatures, wind speeds, and 7 day forecast.
.Natural Disasters: wind storms, hail storms, tornadoes, tropical storms/hurricanes, floods, droughts, ice storms, and blizzards.
That's all I want for the seasons expansion.
Helicopters, maybe even private jets. larger lots for mansions and castles, limo's, large hot tubs, and water slides. the availability for indoor spa's, private bowling ally's. comes with venues, such as, expensive fancy restaurants, and exclusive bars. Includes country clubs, with equestrian centers and golf courses, private/ boarding schools, and trust funds. It would also include all new clothing imitating expensive brands, gucci, Hugo Boss, versace, ect. That would be so cool.
Each world to have an opt in/out system for all local outfits, colours, build and buy mode items, road styles, vehicles and travel, the use of certain items like phones, etc. More control over world terrain design/creation from in game. Either no rabbit holes or total control over their appearance. Allowing for more control over the style of each world would allow for much greater variety in game play.
Basic weather (sunshine, rain), basic pets (dogs and cats), basic education (pre-school and university) and celebrations (weddings, funerals) should be included in the base game.
Expansions for added game play could include:
Historical/time travel:
Enough players seem to enjoy the idea of Victorian, medieval or futuristic content. Being able to select a vague period of history (prehistoric, industrial revolution, futuristic, for example) and build on it would be a lot of fun. Adjustable features for each world era could include new travel options (horses, carriages, little spaceships), new communication options (writing instead of calling, typewriters, or teleportation), new hazards (candles, cooking, faulty gizmos), new entertainment and customs.
Open for Business style expansion pack:
Revisiting crafts such as sewing, inventing, gardening, baking, honey making, fishing (a boat would be nice), etc. Ability to open your own B&B, local hotel, spa, restaurant, shop, cafe, salon, etc.
Seasons:
Expanded weather variation to include storms, snow, etc. seasonal changes (with the usual features like sunburn), items to warm/cool indoor areas, optional new effects such as rainbows, northern lights and natural disasters like earthquakes, etc. Seasonal celebrations such as valentines and halloween.
Holidays/vacations:
No predetermined adventures, but open ended game play allowing you to explore taking your sims on holiday abroad in whatever style you choose. Visiting and owning holiday resorts or hotels as an added feature to explore. Honeymoons, retirement retreats, family getaways, etc. Cruise ships, boats and scuba diving would also be interesting.
Family entertainment:
Fetes/theme park/water park/carnival/circus/underwater aquariums, etc. I want to see something larger than before, roller coasters, Ferris wheels, children on teacup rides, etc.
Fame:
Glitzy expansion with venues such as theatres (ballet/classical), cinemas, catwalk shows, gigs for bands/singers, magic shows, acrobatics, etc. Paths for sims to become famous including singing, acting, reality tv shows (NPC cameramen follow your sim?), modelling, joining a band, sports, etc. Benefits of fame include exclusive venues, outfits, parties, interactions, gifts, vehicles and paparazzi.
Animals :
Expand the pets to include horses, farm animals (pigs, cattle, sheep, etc.), wildlife, and a zoo venue (elephants, lions, monkeys, giraffes). Again, I want to see something larger.
Supernatural/fairytale:
Magic. Vampires, zombies, witches, mermaids, fairies, dragons, and so on.
If these expansions were able to be integrated properly you'd have massive potential for variety in game play: Seasonal farming with the ability to sell your own farm produce in your own shop, owning your own holiday theme park as a business, surviving in a “prehistoric” world populated with magical forces and dragons, post apocalyptic futuristic zombie outbreak, Victorian vampires who enjoy the theatre, historically themed use of cruise ships (Titanic?), famous party loving reality star with a Chihuahua they carry around (haha!), you get the idea, sandbox gaming.
BIG BIG FAN OF THE SIMS
Jackie
Pets
Vacation/Travel
Dating/'Downtown'
Magic
Plus I think it's safe to say there are a couple of new additions to the 'core' line:
University
Seasons
Apartments
I'm guessing that Apartments will be merged into the Downtown expansion pack again, like in Late Night, and that Magic will probably be incorporated into another pack like they did for TS2 Apartment Life.
Having weather in the base game, and then incorporating the actual seasons into the Pets expansion pack would be a good idea but would probably never happen considering how well both of those expansion packs sell separately.
Open for Business was a huge fan favourite so it would be silly of them to skip it again.
So the list of packs I think will definitely be made are as follows:
Pets
Seasons
Downtown
University
Business
Vacation (probably generic vacation destinations like in TS1 and TS2. World Adventures was a fun little experiment but the tomb system really wasn't suited for a game like The Sims)
I enjoy to read all of your ideas!
