I think it's safe to say University EP, Witches GP, Farming EP/GP, Werewolves GP, and Romance GP seem to be what the simmers on this forum want the most. But aside from those packs, what other packs do you hope we'll get before the end of TS4's run?
I want something centered around music; more instruments, the ability to make bands, collab with other sims on songs, etc. It would tie in nicely with Get Famous

Fun must be always -- Tomas Hertl (San Jose Sharks hockey player)
Yes! I miss the sewing machine and pottery wheel. It would be amazing to have the game build upon the content we had in Sims 2. My favourite thing about the sewing machine was the clothing with the set of customisable patterns, like a mini prequel of CAP from Sims 3. I'd really love to have it back, with a little extra customisation of course. And how about a knitting skill so we can have sims make wearable scarves and hats, and perhaps even blankets that sims can wrap around themselves when watching tv or napping on the sofa? How about some more card and board games? Jewelry making would be fun too, and perhaps sims who enjoy hiking in Granite Falls could get some kind of benefit from that activity.
This time round I'd hope we'd be able to choose our own preferred hobby for played sims, so they make a beeline for the related item when they need to increase fun, rather than automatically going for a tv or computer if those items are available (unless one of those things is their preferred hobby, obviously). As per Sims 2, each sim would gain skill more quickly when working on their hobby, and if it involves making something, perhaps they'd make things more quickly too. It would also be a useful occasion to bring in a couple more sporting activities, some different musical instruments such as harps, flutes etc, that we've never had in the franchise. Herbalism, flower arranging, programming, all those activities would count as hobbies, and we could use Get Together to create hobby clubs even more effectively than we can now.
Finally, pursuit of a hobby, and perhaps adding some skill badges, would give sims who don't have the need or wish to work something productive to do with their time, especially retired sims.
I'd very much like witches but upon reflection, I think I might want this even more if it could work the way I'd like it to!
- Zombie Apocalypse/ living off-grid GP;
- Mermaids & Underwater swimming GP (or EP if it includes a tropical vacation),
- Deviancy GP (Urbz feel, grungy, police & burglars etc)
- A personality GP (Attraction system, more & improved traits, better enemies& reactions etc)
Yes I desperately need that mermaid underwater GP! Mermaids were done dirty in island paradise.
I like the royalty idea. I'm thinking of putting a royal family in my current save.
Vacations EP
Daycare Business GP
@citysimmer I would love something like that + the other stuff we had in Sims 3 Showtime. Some people say its sims 3 version of Get Famous, but it focussed in more circus things like magicians, malabarism, etc... + music. There were no actual celebrities and acting in that.
I also want a Freetime EP, with a hobbies system were depending on our sism traits they would lean towards like some stuff and hating others, they would be more succesful in the things they love, while they would fail if they didn't enjoy their jobs/hobbies.
@FreezerBunnyCowplant I would love if they were at least closer to being like Into the Future Robots + improvements. Would be could if our inventor sim could invent all the other stuff we had in Sims 3 Into The Future, like the dream bed to help with our sims emotions and skills, or the supersonic shower...
@Mariefoxprice83 I know this is random, but i found out about that yesterday, but the royal family from Hidden Springs is the richest family in all SIms games?! I didn't knew that, now i want to see them in Sims 4. haha My female sim needs to be the new Kate Middleton, would use the Get Famous to make full coverage of the marriage... hahahaha
@dreamprisoner Love that idea, sims 4 needs more mystery/dark/grungy stuff (and burglars).
I don't even remember that family. I liked the prince character who owned a houseboat in Island Paradise though. I'll have to think about which branch of my current family should become royal. My game is currently in the golden age of piracy but will be entering the "Victorian" era very soon.
