There is a segment of the forum population that will never stop complaining about TS4, before or after TS5, and many of them by their own admissions don’t even actually play TS4. They either never played it or stopped ages ago but continue to gripe about it because it’s apparently their hobby and because people who do like TS4 need to be constantly and persistently reminded it’s inadequate and that TS2 & TS3 are practically perfect in every way.
Honestly in every online community for a game I've ever joined, about 1/3 of the posters just complain about how horrible it is, and about half of those no longer or never played to begin with, but are just unable to move on to something else.
It's basically a universal truth of the internet.
Packs I'd like to see, noting that I expect none of these to ever happen.
- blank map packs. Basically 'more city', 'more strangerville', 'more magic hood / area outside magic portal'. Take any EP and/or base game, and put out a blank map that 'expands' the theme of an existing map. I'd consider this worth a $10 pack.
- A fairy EP. Give a single occult a full blown massive EP all to itself, and everything wonderful for that occult. Let fans of occults go nuts with how well done one of them can be when given that level of love.
- Addon pack for Plantsims so it can be a permanent state of a new type of sim. All my excitement to find out about platsims died the moment I learned it was a limited duration buff.
- The Moroccan kit is making me want to see a kit for Mexican style and/or Latin American architecture and fashion, plau radio stations for Salsa, Mariachi, and Tejano. I'd go equally nuts to get one for West-African fashions, but would have less faith in it being done well.
- A Caribbean-like pack / kit to expand on the Island Living but themed more around blends of Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic in architecture, CAS items, and a map. And of course adding reggae to the music stations. This one would make me go nuts to see. I also have 0 expectation of ever seeing it.
- A Teens pack. I'm not big on playing anything younger than a young adult, but this age seems.. lacking... Give them a $15 pack with a lot of 'things' that drive adults nuts... talk in weird ways, annoying music, a constant eye-rolling animation, and a couple moodlets that make them do the exact opposite of whatever you tell them to. And yet make them adorably endearing anyway, and constantly doing 'the wrong thing' to try and seek approval or get mentorship...

I don't use Discord because it doesn't support multiple accounts and I don't need folks at work wondering what I'm doing even on my own time. Until Discord catches up with every single other voice / video conferencing system, I limit where I use it:
Since the sims 4 may be around for a long time I would like more occult related packs. I don’t feel there’s enough especially with all nerfs to the current ones. For instance, why can’t I see a random spellcasters causing mayhem in the restaurant or something? I just wish there was a toggle for spellcasters to cast spells in the world.
I would also like for mermaids & aliens to be fleshed out more. I was disappointed with mermaids, especially since how amazing they made vampires. Why couldn’t the same quality be made for every other occult? & they still haven’t fixed the aging bug on aliens.
I would love for underwater worlds & the ability to swim in all worlds. I also would like more dangerous elements added to the game but I highly doubt that would happen anytime soon
My main priorities would be to fix current bugs & enchanting gameplay depth. Such as making baby’s non objects, continue fleshing out traits, add some toggles for occults & non occult’s so people don’t ask for nerfs, & more couple interactions. These are just a few things though.
I do think improving & fixing the game is more important then creating more packs, especially if you expect people to stick around with the sims 4 for a long time.
dating/romance pack like hot date where they could bring back the heart shaped bed, add new and better romance options, a dating app or online dating like sims 3, they could add zodiac signs or likes to the base game as a pre-pack patch.
Farming/country living type expansion pack with options to own chickens livestock etc, add more wild animals to interact with like dolphins from island living, have country fairs, and a more rural bigger world the only worlds that have a nature feel for me are granite falls and glimmerbrook which are too small
School pack better options for kids and teens to have after school activities, school trips, boarding or active lot school with options to have a uniform or not, proms etc
I have decided that I can no longer fight against this: I want a dragon pack. I will name my dragon Gordy, and it will be relentless. Bring on the medieval theme, devs. You can do this.
