I posted this in another forum but quoting What do y'all think?
It's all the same, suburbs, desert, Where's the country folks and the thugs? I want to really create endless possibilities! A sim that forms a group with others around town, they get in trouble with the police, they're group are homies for life (lets just say they have all reached the BFF part of the relationship, I don't know if homie is appropriate for children) They live in a run down area, high rate of robberies, fires, and lots of sims vandalizing! They too act the same in their "hood" but as they get older they change and share their stories as a wonderful author.
Then there's a country sim who was brought up raising live stock, had to be very independent, as they grow older they move to the city to become the hottest celebrity around the world. Known by everyone!!!
Not having an open world may not be a draw back after all. We as players just need more richer stories to play. What do you think? Anything to improvise? I know the "thug" life is a little hard to make mild so I tried the best I can. It doesn't have to be like the real ghetto. Just very mild I grew up in the Bronx and saw a lot of things and then moved to the suburbs, it changed my life.
Tons can be added to the game, especially in themed/varied expansions. I've done a slew of threads filled with concept crafting as to what can be done in a Sims game. You can find the discussions I've made on my profile!
I'd really love for the maps to be made bigger. Like how it was when the Sims 1 Unleashed, when the town grew. It gave so many options and possibilities.
I'd really love for an Open for Business, Seasons and University expansion pack. Those were amongst my favourite for Sims 2. Though I'd really love if for University, the rest of the town aged while you were there. That's the only thing I didn't really like about the Sims 3 version.

Cars! just for the building factor I know there are mods and items you can download for that but it would be nice to have them work!
Oh and story progression that actually works like it should.
I am happy with what we have and I know it will expand with time but these are the top things I wish he had now.

With the Sims 4, I've been trying to love it. But I've really fallen back into the routine I had with the Sims 2: literally staying on my home lot all day, waiting for my sims to get back from work or school. As you can imagine with this, I get bored after a couple of hours. The base game itself isn't all bad, but I can't stand that we don't have an open neighborhood anymore. I understand that EA wanted to focus on other aspects, but allowing us to see the amazement of an open neighborhood in the Sims 3 (with no loading screens) and then taking it away with the next branch of the sims seems unfair. This is the only real problem I have with the sims 4. The loading screens and closed lots really degrade the kind of life I want for my sims. I feel its very limiting.
Oh, and the ridiculous way that the sims move. Why can't I just move two people out of the family so they can start their own life? Why do I either have to move the whole family, or manage it outside of the family in the manage household sections? That's ridiculous.
The game to me is unplayable right now. It needs the following...
-<b>Open world</b> (sorry but the loading screens are a nightmare...and completely ruin immersion). -More Venues (Where are the movies, Outdoor restaurants, job locations, school, beach, graveyard,bookstore, and etc..) There's nothing to do...and no where to go but the gym and lounge. -More Lots period..The neighborhoods are way too small. -All the previous services -Get rid of the weird even demon bassinet babies -Add toddlers -Make teen sims have different heights from adults -Revert the map to the Sims3 type of map where you could see the neighborhood at bird's eye view instead of these sketches.. -Bring back cars -Remove these tasks to have a successful party or date. No more questing stuff or this locked item thing. -Allow pool parties -Allow for everyone in the household to invite their contacts if it's a house party instead of one sim. -<b>STORY PROGRESSION</b>. The sims are lifeless entities without story progression. It's creepy... -Allow us to choose the length of each life state -Add a pre-teen life state possibly -More career options -Clothing shops -Let married couples have the same last name -more color options for items and clothing -Better hair...(I understand it's a base game though so limited options are expected). -Allow Sims to have more ethnic nose bridges...
There's a lot more than that but those are the ones at the top of my head...for now
