More relationship types - Have new ways to define relationship dynamics such as “bromance”.
Initiated romance - Sims outside of your household can propose marriage and ask for other relationship changes.
Shared personal history - A relationship’s past impacts the present. For example, good friends who had a dramatic falling out may have a harder time reconnecting.
Relationship tone - Relationships have short-term states such as “Furious with [Sim X]”.
Relationship compatibility - Personal factors affect how well a Sim gets along with another.
Shared experiences - Sims share repeated activities with preferred Sims such as “brunch buddies”.
Gameplay
Go on an outing - Take a group on a day trip such as a family pool day or a mountain climb.
Own a second home - Buy another lot and set up your home away from home.
Design and run a resort - Care for guests, manage employees, and become a 5-star resort.
Define your Sim’s lifestyle - Choose your Sims’ activity level, social preferences, habits, etc.
Vacation at a resort - Take your Sims on a splendid vacation to a luxury hotel.
I would love a game pack exclusively focused on personalities, traits, preferences, vices, hobby enthusiasm, and the like. This pack could all be about adding drama and dynamic relationships. It would be awesome. It could be precluded by an update that allows us to give more CAS traits of we wanted for each Sim.
They called it a solid 2019 and I only bought one of the packs, which I stopped playing after 2 days. I'm not holding my breath. I'm a family/generation/play on the main lot player and I haven't found anything worth buying in a long time. If the unexpected stuff is like Strangeville... I'll pass.
Based on the last survey, with questions about resorts and snow activities, they’re maybe working on a ski vacation GP with resorts/hotels ?
It’s almost certainly going to be an EP. Game packs don’t have anywhere enough budget for all these things they want to do.
In old surveys it’s listed as an EP as well. I wonder if it’s going to be the November EP this year as I doubt they’d release a Winter EP in June.
Seeing as we have snowball fights already and one of the main features is walk around in snow shoes... The new content is lodging, snow angels, build snowman and snowboarding I'm sure snowboarding will be locked to a single object so really not much but only because this is Sims 4 that could be expansion worthy.
Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"
i think they've been working on some sort of winter themed dlc since they released that yeti costume a couple years ago. maybe they scraped an idea but had that asset lying around and decided to release it?
who knows but i'd be into the concept, especially if we can own and run our own winter lodging resort but also have those mechanics be usable for regular hotels and resorts
I really, really want them to do stuff with social media in game. I think, obviously, cars and prom/high school graduations are really big omissions, but social media is a big one too. Especially since so many young people are on them.
I thought a lot about this. Sorry.
Also I’m on mobile so this format is probably a little ugly. Also sorry.
SimBook:
Could be in place of the memory system. SimBook can be Public- any sim can see it. Or they can be set to friends only or strictly private. The simmer can control it and which sims interact with it how ever they choose.
Memories would be integrated on the sim’s “wall,” but the in game social media aspect of it would be an optional feature that logs memorable aspects of the sims life: birth, death of family, birthdays, couplings (the term ‘Facebook Official’ is still going strong.) but there can also be optional aspects to spice things up.
Sims who are enemies with other sims can start online beef. Sims can battle it out, expose secrets online. Doing this can make the target embarrassed, angry, sad, etc. sims can pile in on any side or “post about what’s going on passive aggressively and take no side” doing so will affect how others see you in game. Sims friends will reach out and respond in various dramatic ways. Sims will text you to ask your side or to ask what’s going on- and will comment their opinions. Sims might text you one thing, but say something else online.
Sims can spread false rumors. If they’re exposed to be false, bad moodlet. If they succeed- evil or mean sims get a good moodlet.
If get famous is installed they can spread false rumors about celebrities or post selfies with them online. Sims can also attempt to “slide into celebrities dm’s.” If a sim is having an affair with a married celebrity, they can leak it online for bad notoriety, but higher fame points. Celebrities transgressions will be logged online by others and they’ll be an outrage feature that impacts how people will see the celebrity for a certain amount of time. If a celebrity is caught doing something embarrassing, Sims will laugh at them or react in disgust.
If a celebrity is a nice good celebrity like Keanu Reeves, positive posts will impact them in a good way, services will be free or reduced and relationships will be easier to maintain.
Sims who’ve had something embarrassing happen to them can choose to post about it online in a funny self deprecating way, and it can either work in their favor (which gives them a positive buff) or it can humiliate them further.
Rumors can be integrated and spread. Gossiping in game can now generate a text box with some actual gossip. If something scandalous or embarrassing happened in game, whatever the deed is is “saved in your drafts” which is a private log of all of the memorable things in your sims life in sequential order and labeled from “not a big deal,” “would be embarrassing if this got out, but not earth shattering” and “very bad.” When a sim hits the prompt “share a secret” you can select from the “drafts” the secret your sims shares. Depending on who you share it to, the rumor could spread.
You can also share good things with others or congratulate sims on what you saw on their SimBook for good moodlet and higher relationship points. You can also talk badly about other sims together, for higher relationship points, but expect it to go badly if ab online beef gets started!
-if autonomy is added by gurus in-game for others in the neighborhood, SimBook would log their autonomous actions- birth, death, marriage, and sims who don’t like each other will be made known to your sim.
Online Dating-
Sims can sign up for a dating app. I believe this a mod, but I don’t use them- so I think the feature should be implemented.
Sims can be catfished.
Sims have the option of using get together’s ask about other sim to inquire about their matches behavior in town.
Sims can SimBook Stalk their matches, depending on what they find they’ll be mad, sad, embarrassed, flirty, or tense. Especially if they find evidence of a sims past partners- they can feel insecure if their partner had a good reputation. Jealous sims can be jealous and perceive their matches SimBook friends as “threats.”
Sims can link their online dating to their SimBooks. They can post “flirty” posts to catch the attention of those they like, or to see who reaches out to them. They can also share selfies with flirty ambiance to do the same thing.
Which leads me to crushes-
Sims can choose to log their crush online. Which can impact their emotions depending on who their crush is and what they’re doing.
Teen Sims can ask their crush to prom, prom-pose, or post “sub-posts” to try and catch their crushes attention. If Parenthood is installed, Teen Sims can write about their crushes in their diaries and their siblings can leak that info online- to positive and negative consequences.
Simify-
Sims can log what songs they like on the radio and have their LYN-Z system play their playlists online. You can ascribe emotional buffs to different playlists and play them for emotional buffs.
Would love to see another expansion for cultural vacations. Similar to our jungle adventure in Salvadora. It would be neat to have Egyptian Vacation, or an African Safari Adventure, or Romantic Getaway with different themed locations, such as Italy, France, etc. Crazy. I know! But a girl can dream! I gotta say I’m pretty excited for a possible Winter vacation too though. I REALLY hope owning a resort will be possible.
They seemed to be hinting at Royalty. Are they plotting a new Royalty Pack? Aside from decent ball gowns and formal attire, I would love to see a decent tiara. That is if the tiara acts as a hat and not tied to one silly hairstyle like the cat ears. I am also hoping for some decent men's boots and and women's high heels. Then there is the furniture... Royalty Pack seems like something to look forward to. However, I'd prefer a Hot Topic Pack.
I would love a game pack exclusively focused on personalities, traits, preferences, vices, hobby enthusiasm, and the like. This pack could all be about adding drama and dynamic relationships. It would be awesome. It could be precluded by an update that allows us to give more CAS traits of we wanted for each Sim.
I would prefer this to be patched in. It's a little bit unfair for them to let us buying these features which should be the "mandatory" features that help us to make our Sims unique as per what they want us to think. Imagine if initially we're being "force" to buy a pack that give us toddler, ghost or the pool. I bet it would have a massive backlash. Moreover, any other packs should only have stuffs that enhanced & integrated with existing features & other packs.
I think we will get
- Farming incl new countryside world
- Hotels incl some vacation world
- Werewolves in a story driven pack a la Strangerville
- Cars

Thank you for compiling this list. Having looked it over, my guess is that Reality TV will be the next big option. This time around, The Sims is so focused on tech, trends, and memes, how can they not? Big Brother, Sims style -- it's the logical evolution of the series.

With the non existent personalities emotions and no awareness or memories I don't see how they could think that's fun... Bob with a vote to 6 to 1 you have been evicted from the Big Brother house. Bob obviously smiling walks out the door with a plate of pancakes... Where's the fights and drama
Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"
We already had a pack that went into the future for the sims 3 so hopefully they do the opposite for this game. The sims 4 is becoming too modern for my taste with all of the freelance jobs and influencer jobs they have created. i want my sims to do something other than use their phones.
I've wanted a "backwards-time machine" gp for ages!!! To be able to go back to like the roman times etc and gain skills and stuff and have an adventure unique to that era!!!

It would be up to the players to generate the drama, of course. That has been TS4's mantra from the very beginning. At most, they may create a lot trait that influences Sims to randomly squabble and fight. The team will call it the most innovative and revolutionary creation since the inception of the franchise and that will be the end of it. Never mind that the community has been playing those kinds of stories and challenges for ages -- long before said pack. ( ::cough:: Tiny Living ::cough:: ) It will be the best thing ever!
[quote="YankeesForever;c-17358484"][quote="DoloresGrey;c-17353601"]That gives me hope a Royal pack might be coming.[/quote]
I hope so!!! OMG I have wanted Royal families in the sims since forever. Imagine if we can choose a King/Queen, inheritance, royal announcements, etc royal families are needed as there were some in the history of the game.[/quote]
I have wanted Royals since I started following the actual British royal family I’m 2009. I even went so far as in the sims 3 as to create a royal family with 11 generations with all kinds of titles. I would “hold courtl” or throw parties. So basically I loved in a fantasy world within a fantasy world lol I’m so glad to see another simmer after my own heart ❤️
Guys. I just thought of the best idea! What if they did Sims Garage band? And we had more musical instruments to choose from! Drums? Saxophone? Am I right? Dang that would be really cool! We could collaborate music with other sims who love music, perform on the streets of the city? Attend concerts! Get awards, and participate in music festivals, and become a Celeb of course. I made the Spice Girls on my game once. haha This would be so much cooler.
Better be one of two things an expansions of supernatural life-states: werewolves, and other life-forms. OR an actual expansion pack involving space and time-travel. Yeah yeah I know - shades of TS3 ITF. my other guess was an expansion involving winter sports but that could be dealt with in a game pack.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
