    i want

    circus/amusement park theme gp or ep
    sims just need some fun really and i miss the so called "weirder stories" from past games like makin magic

    medieval ep with lots of ye olde hobbies and activities and possibly dragons
    wouldn't mind if they mix it with farming theme too

    and happy haunts mixed with dangerous stuff as gp cause i really want everything listed under those theme in survey as gp or even ep

    but I think what really should come next is romance ep that adds in lots of couple interactions and activities and especially couple dance

    its just so long overdue and my sims get depressed in their loveless marriages

    (and speaking of marriages there needs to be some better wedding stuff and interactions)

    Medieval and farming would go good together.

    Generations pack (please describe by your post the features you would find essential in this one)
    Generations is greatly needed & the most wanted. The family tree is still very poorly.
    We still need:
    Great-Grandparents
    Great-Aunts/Uncles
    2nd Cousins
    Step-Children
    Step-Parents
    Step-Siblings
    Half-Siblings
    In-Laws
    Adopted Family Members
    Foster Family Members

    Then Medieval & Time Travel Packs. :)

    Generations pack (please describe by your post the features you would find essential in this one)
    I hope it's a generation's type of pack. Family gameplay is lacking. I need more things for my sims to do as a family.

    To name a few things I would want:
    Tag
    Cops & robbers
    Sleepovers
    Sleeping bags
    bunkbeds
    Treehouses
    Toddlers and kids playing dress-up and having tea parties
    Toddlers being able to finger paint
    Baby shower/bridal shower, bachelor/ette parties, funeral events
    Canes for elders
    Being able to call grandparents to babysit
    Elders being able to talk about the "good ol' days"
    Bikes for kids and tricycles for toddlers
    Strollers for babies and toddlers
    Playground equipment like mary-go-rounds, teeter-totters, and slides
    skateboards for kids and teens
    proms/school dances
    field trips
    After school activities
    Rocking babies and toddlers to sleep
    slow dancing
    teens playing pranks like egging, teepeeing, ding don ditch, sneaking out, running away (if the relationship is low with parents)


    -Updated Babies-
    Playpens
    cribs
    changing tables
    walkers
    playmats
    baby swing

    -Personality overhaul-
    likes/dislikes
    wants/fears
    turn on/offs
    memories
    Interests

    -one-sided relationships-

    I hope that we get a music band/group stuff pack, I'm afraid we'll get some K-Pop branded collab stuff pack with some dancing.
    Happy simming!

    Here's what I'd like to see in 2021:

    Expansion Packs:
    • A futuristic or time travel theme. I really want to see Emit Relevart make a comeback because I loved him so much in TS3.
    • Space exploration, because Sixam is great and all, but I would really love more planets to explore and actually live on. It could also be a great way to introduce more features similar to living Off The Grid and surviving in a challenging environment.

    Game Packs:
    • A game pack dedicated to romance and dating. The current romance options are pretty bland in my opinion, and could do with spicing up. Features like online dating, improved dates and weddings, honeymoons, an attraction system and more WooHoo locations would be nice. It'd also be great to have more lingerie and sleepwear options, and perhaps include the heart-shaped bed too.

    Stuff Packs:
    • I'm not really picky when it comes to Stuff Packs, since they're the cheapest packs of the bunch. I do really enjoy the retro and mid-century aesthetic though, so any Stuff Pack with those sorts of items will have sold me on it.

    Things I really don't want to see:
    • Vacations. Don't care what pack, I just don't want any more vacation systems, not for a long time.
    Sims 4 Wish List:
    • > Option to toggle on/off random townie generation.
    • > Turn vacation worlds into residential worlds.
    • > Option to purchase separate worlds or a world pack.
    • > Sleepwear kit.
    • > Atomic age kit.

    I honestly don't have a clue. I think there was a leaked stuff pack so that'll be the next pack. I couldn't really care less about stuff packs so I have no interest in that one though.

    As for proper packs my hopes are the same as always, more international worlds and the rest of the occults (specifically fairies). Those are the only packs I want. Possibly a future pack but I feel like it wouldn't live up to Into the Future so idk how I feel about that one.

    Sims Dystopia or Apocalypse pack
    I don’t think they will make this, but the option sounded so good I fell for it.
  • LoanetLoanet Posts: 4,079 Member
    Kids stuff pack
    If they're updating babies, you can bet they'll bring out a Stuff Pack to add to the free things we'll get with the update.
    Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.

    What I want

    A Wedding Stuffpack

    A Romance Pack I'd love to see a France Type World with this pack. A romantic getaway.

    Resorts Gamepack

    Theme Parks Pack also with Zoos and an Aquarium Exibit.

    Generations Pack

    The Greek Islands Pack and the other Beach World Pack mentioned on the survey which could add stuff that was left out of Island Living

    I have a feeling it is going to be a romance pack or school pack at the the next GP

    I think the farming pack might be the June expansion.

    I think this game is great in build mode(seriously fantastic) and terrible in game play. Any pack that comes next should start addressing gameplay deficiencies. I can build for hours and I am frustrated with play mode in minutes. Simply put it is not fun when objects spontaneously appear in inventories or are sold from inventories. It is also not fun that the sim can do and buy anything from computer/laptop. Its a game. Where is the game play in that? I don't want to stare at my sim sitting at a computer. There is a serious lack of animations, sim interaction options, long term impact and challenge. The emotional system overwrites everything and creates happy clones. The system on which this game was sold (emotions) has not got any edits or upgrades in 6 years. some emotions are just not represented, for example scared. The robotic, uninspiring nature of sims is just plain boring. I was hoping that sentiments and lifestyles would change that, but I find it not impactful enough and a bit buggy. Here is why. It is simply superficial adding another blurb in the profile. For example sentiments are often assigned without any indication what prompted them. There is no notification or animation as to why a sentiment often happens. I had a festering grudge sentiment after a perfect date. Why? I don't know. It also did not impact the wedding after. There was no notice nor animation to suggest what happened. There was no impact on game play at all except for a mild emotion. After roughhousing seasons event my sim got into a fight, hugged it out and laughed about it. Afterwards I got furious sentiment. It made no sense. They looked happy about it so game animation did not suggest furious and if I wouldn't start the event myself I wouldn't get a prompt as to why it happened. Once again giving me no depth just more frustrations. Lifestyles are slightly better, but not much. My sim who is a doctor has to talk to people and gets a people person lifestyle in return. He's doing his job not being friendly. And there is so much more missing that just makes sims robotic. There is no likes, dislikes, attractions, meaningful impactful reputations, lasting relationships (if a parent dies and you delete the urn, it's like they never existed). While thinking about family member is like a bug on repeat. Sims relationships exist in profile, but doesn't impact gameplay. Basically no drama. I like drama. Then there is the issue of traits being nearly useless. It really impacts only if something is gained faster or slower. And there is a serious lack of reciprocity. For example an attorney can ask to represent someone, but a sim cannot ask to be represented. A klepto can steal, but there is no animation or interaction option for catch stealing. These are just examples of this game being very one sided. The game added groups, but they can't do much together. They go out as a group and scatter like roaches. I hoped that my snow bro can climb together, ski together etc., but they cant. The option recently vanished for snowboarding continuously together. And when it was there my bro did it once and vanished. Hiking was one of the few actual group options. You can go on a climbing expedition together, but need to build each sims skill separately. Then there is the frustration of not being able to just cancel a sim out a conversation. I don't want my sim to introduce themselves just to tell one sim to go away. I also don't want to cancel the entire conversation. This all comes down to lack of story progression. Sims 3 did the frustration thing of keeping memories of unimportant trips to the library, but sims 4 keeps well nothing. The seriousness lack of animations is viewable mostly when the sims team does make one and then repeats it so many times it doesn't seam like a feature, but a bug. The murphy bed kills sims at an alarming rate, naps destroy the neighborhoods, thinking about family member over and over again, eating at the pools and swimming in them happens so often I stopped building pools. The vending machines getting stuck is cute, but not when it happens every other purchase. So basically anything they do needs to address game play and not just by adding another skill to gain.

    As for things to do. My favorite expansion was open for business in sims 2. Sims 4 retail feature needs work. I'd love to see a game expansion concentrated on work and play. For work expansion on retail would be great. I'd like to see more shelves, registers, displays etc so I can create more stores like a gallery to sell art (maybe have a gallery opening), hotels, resorts, craft stores, real estate, grocery stores, salons, car dealerships (add cars. I know sim don't travel, no open neighborhood, but again the animation of getting in the car, customizing a car, repairing it is another deficiency. See the sim just vanish is boring) etc. I'd love to see at least 3 stores on a lot (maybe managing only one at a time and renting store space.) I want my sim go to to a store and get stuff not have it spawn in inventory. I want more customer interaction option, employee options, management options. I want my sim to work in a store not just own it. I'd love to see more traits and better aspirations (even if not impactful) like schmoozer, gambler, slacker. Which brings me to play portion of this. Someone said amusement parks. Great idea. Give me something sims can actually do together (like hiking). Let my sim run an arcade, and go to an arcade. Give me a boardwalk, a shopping district (not magnolia promenade. it sucks.) I'd like to see aspirations like sales guru, employee of the month, fun enthusiast, Add careers like hotel/resort owner, real-estate agent, business owner. Add toy making bench, make a toy store. There is so much you can make in the game but t's missing game play to sell it. Give me empty lots to build on and store rental space. Add a boardwalk festival like independence day.

    The next thing I'd like to see is farming. I'd like to see 3 neighborhoods:
    1. Farms with a harvest festival
    2. Wineries with wine tasting festival
    3. Town Square with a homecoming festival and places to sell your goods like wine shops or grocery stores
    Allow players to plant and harvest in large quantities so the can sell it in a farmers market. Add different grapes, add corn, wheat, etc. made recipes like home soup, biscuits, fried chicken. Add a canning station to make preserves. Let me sell honey at a market/store not just have it poof out of inventory. Horses might be too much so give players a chicken coop to collect eggs, feed chickens etc. Add careers like Farmer, Rancher, Wine Maker (brach it out into Vineyard Manager/owner and Wine Critic) Add aspirations like Cellar Masters, Countryside Explorer etc.

    There is so much that should be added and improved in this game.

    Generations pack (please describe by your post the features you would find essential in this one)
    A generations pack!!! I think it could also do a lot to improve basic gameplay. I musta would be:

    -Improved Babies. Even if they're still objects, more interactions with them, especially between siblings. Let kids play with them for example.

    -More aspirations for child sims. The four are so old. Even just adding some that are more specific, like "dance machine", "aspiring astronaut", "chess wizard". That sort of thing.

    -Homeschooling and alternate schooling options. Being able to send your child sims to a specialist school by paying extra simoleons, or keeping them home, could open up so much story potential. Ideally I'd like some active schools where you could follow your child sims if you wanted but don't have to. Boarding schools that were playable would be amazing too, but might be too big of an ask.

    -More clubs and hobbies for kids, teens and Elders. Band club, Prom, bingo night, summer camp.... there are so many even rabbit hole events we could be doing with our kids, teens and elders to give them more life and personality.

    -Imaginary friends. I know they're super unpopular but I loved them!!! If they made it a purchasable object instead of a random chance in the mail I think it would work fir everybody. Then if you don't like them you never have to see them in your game at all - not even a hint of it, unlike aliens and vampires.

    -Improved relationships. More interactions between families and family members. There is so much potential but right now family member relationships don't feel so different from neighbors. There is so much potential to add different feelings and interactions- "Nervous about New Step-Dad", "Playdate with Grandma", "Torment sibling".

    Generations pack (please describe by your post the features you would find essential in this one)
    I'm between Generations and something else because I want a generation pack because the family game play is still severely lacking in my opinion then the previous games I still say we need Preteens to be added in the mix if not in this then in Sims 5. I would grandma chicken noodle soup like in Sims 2 when your sims don't feel well. I would more celebration of family like a baby shower party, bachelor/bachelorette party family reunion, golden anniversary like in Sims 2. Retirement party. I also want more celebration at the proposal and wedding from the guests we have more celebration in the cake cutting then the two combined that is sad, also to learn how to drive.
    For something else I want a education pack for kids and teens they spend more time at school then at home I want more activities to do like the sims 3 field trips, prom, homecoming, go to prep rally, games (go to a football, basketball, or baseball game like we do in university.) And graduate.
    Take Sick sims to the hospital/ doctor I mean we can take our sick pets to the vet but we can't take Sick sims to the hospital in my opinion something is definitely wrong there.

    I think we will get some off the wall, lackluster packs that are over the top cutesy that not a lot of people are interested in. I also think we'll be seeing a lot of bugs introduced in these new packs that never get fixed.

    That's my prediction for the future content.
