  The Theme Park expansion sounds really good to me. Maybe a rollercoaster building system like that of RollerCoaster Tycoon, where you build rollercoasters segment per segment. And sims who have a funny personality could grant a better bonus to visitors by working as entertainers. And maybe ... we could ... well ... Wait a moment ... NPCs? Who call Sims NPCs? Oh, right! Those NPCs. Nevermind. Mistake of mine.
  
  If you haven't already mentioned it, because I'm too lazy to read it all, you could add the Arcade lot, with platformers, pinballs, dancing stages, basketball thingamajigs, racing simuators, shooting booths, dancing stages and all cool arcade stuff.
  
  Also, I think we should provide some "blueprints" of our ideas, some pictures of what we're going to do.

  I love these ideas! But actually that Fame and Fortune EP could be expanded to Fame and Wellness EP! It could include more than just 1 theme, you know check out my thread to see what ideas I have for this type of EP: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/814536/the-sims-4-hybrid-ep-ideas#latest

  Those sounds like awesome EP ideas! I'm especially hoping for a seasons EP and apartments to be brought back.

  I just had another idea: A SP or EP with elements from the Schneider's Bakery series (iCarly, Zoey 101, etc.)

  I have a feeling the supernatural pack will have tons of castle stuff, or at least furniture. I too want some medieval stuff, maybe if my theme park ep becomes real they can add it in that :p
  
  I have a feeling supernatural will come out soon, that leaked fortune teller costume + the timing is just right. EA seems to wanna push out the ones people want most first and Makin' Magic is one of, if not, the most loved sims game, so there's no doubt they'd wanna do that after GTW. Think about the timing too, Get to Work comes out in April, a game pack could be released in June or July, and an announcement for EP2 could come out in August and whats the best time for a Superntural EP to come out? September or October. ;)

  * FARMING! Where your Sims can grow all kinds of vegetables, fruits, wheat etc. and have farm animals. This would also work great together with a weather add-on which could influence the plants. Sims could have different interactions with their animals, breed them and sell their products and the animals themselves. there could be a weekly farmer's market on a community lot. The Sims could clean out their farms and get their children to help them. Make their farm a hobby or even a full-time job.
  
  * LIFE! Our Sims need more life stages, and a lot more differences between them. Plus the ability to actually do so with the family, as right now I find large families rather stressful because it's hard to really unite them. More interactions would be nice too, how about introducing your partner to your parents? It could be like a social event, where he/she has to work towards getting the parents' approval :p lol or, for those sims who don't really care what their parents think of them, just simply add an "Introduce partner" interaction. It would be nice to visit new places with interactions with your Sims families, like a zoo for example.
  
  * AROUND THE WORLD! Add new neighbourhoods representing different places around the globe to create ethnic diversity. Integrate cultures! This might be a little difficult to program, but it would add so much fun to the game if Sims behaved differently according to their place of origin. Maybe Sims who come from an Asian neighbourhood feel a little confused when they suddenly migrate to a European/American style neighbourhood. I see that here is a danger in falling into stereotypes, but I have hope in the producers to find a way to avoid this :) Maybe Sims can even learn new languages?
  
  * SPIRITUAL SIMS! Let the Sims explore spirituality, in different forms! They could have fictional religions which they want to follow (kind of like in The Sims Medieval, but with much more detail to it.) Sims could participate in community events and spirituality could be a new skill and aspiration, which could send the Sims on a wonderful journey to discover themselves.
  
  * ...speaking of which, I personally really miss my Medieval Sims! The first attempt might have failed, but it really doesn't need much to make a popular medieval sims game. What's just really essential for all sims fans is to be able to customise as much as possible and be able to play out the different sims' life. I personally liked the quests, but they can get boring with time, meaning it needs A LOT more of them, they need to be entertaining and need to give us a break sometimes! Instead of having the sims run around the whole kingdom they could ride on horses instead for transportation. Due to the complexity and the eventual interference with the modern Sims, this would probably be better off as a game on its own like the previous instalment, but I felt like I had to mention it here ;)
  
  * How about adding greater detail into the difference between rich and poor Sims? We would most definitely need bigger lot sizes, though! While rich sims want to maintain an influence among other wealthy sims and have staff working for them, poor sims try to find ways to escape poverty, and maybe even learn a thing or two from the hardships they are experiencing. Adding random life events to worsen or better the life situation of a sim would add new gameplay, the sim would maybe even have to fulfil a small quest in order to get to a better place in life. As a reward, they could gain a new trait. Right now, it feels like the Sims don't even know whether they're rich or poor, so I think it would be fun to actually see a difference for once, and maybe even watch a Sims change in his rise from poverty to wealth. They could go to fancy places and feel get moodlets, or go out for a hotdog and fries every other week and feel special about that.
  
  * WILDLIFE! Although some wildlife is usually added with the pets expansion, it would be nice to see a greater variety in wildlife! There could be neighbourhoods with forests which house many animals (and add them to the Gamepack land too, please!), and you could interact with them. It would generally be nice to include the landscapes a little more. Sims could be able to collect mushrooms in the forest and get firing wood. (maybe that's already in the game pack, i don't have it yet so im not really sure...), or climb little mountains and go for hikes. If they get horses again (which I really really hope!) the horse could get scared off by a wild animal and run away, resulting in your Sim (depending on his riding skills) to either fall off, getting scared, or trying to gain control over the animal again. There are so many possibilities for the Sims (and their pets) to interact with the wilderness and wildlife, it should be used!
  
  * VIP's! There are many options to build out the VIP features of previous Nightlife add ons! Sims could have more staff, such as bodyguards, build high fences around their house and install security cameras/general security systems. They could give press interviews and get either upset or happy about how the media publishes about them and their friends. They could have many different professions, or simply do something exceptional in order to become famous. This could work well with together with the upcoming Get To Work expansion, since successful business owner, exceptional doctors, etc. might gain a little fame with their success. :)
  
  * FAMILY TIES! What I really miss is the family ties between the Sims, especially if someone moves out. If, for example, your Sim's daughter moves out with her new husband and have a baby, the Sims family might never even find out about it, even if they're next door neighbours! You should have the option to tell them about it, or they can come over by themselves to celebrate automatically. There is just so many small details missing when it comes to the Sims' family life! And we all know, the devil really is in the details! The Sims should really react more towards one another within a family. If the kid had better grades in school, Sims parents should have different options to reward their child for it, the same with bad grades, or a job promotion, etc. When a Sim is feeling bad in any way, the family members which are close to them should automatically try to cheer them up and also have different options to do so. Add more options for active Sim parenting, like the ability to set fix bed times and other schedules for the kids. "What, its' already 9 o'clock? Go to bed now!", "You're TV time is over, go do your homework.", "It's time for your guitar lesson, come here, I'll teach you!"
  
  * LIFESTYLES! Sims should be able to live certain lifestyles, like a health nut for example, which could be differentiated into subcategories, like general health nut which enjoys being active and avoids all kinds of fast food; or to more detail dietary options like vegetarian and vegan sims. Define the degree of the tendency towards the lifestyle (like with the personality points system in TS1). Fashion sims might only want outstanding clothes, hairstyles and furniture, and have specific wishes and desires. Maybe some Sims tend to be a little more unhealthy and have catch allergies and easily get sick (I wouldn't exactly call it a lifestyle but I put it here anyways :P ), are maybe even paranoid to get sick and clean everything before sitting or touching. There are so many options here that would create a funny gameplay.
  
  * SHOPPING! I have hopes that this comes back with the new expansion pack a little, but we still need more of it ;) Grocery shopping, clothes shopping, perfume shopping, all kinds of things. It would also enables the possibility to create more detail and fun in combination with other expansions. It would be great to be able to create your own mall as well!
  
  * TRAVEL! Travelling is such a great thing in reality, and you can learn so much from it – I wouldn't want my Sims to miss that! But we need more things to do in these destinations, and more destinations and options for staying! Sims should be able to really experience something there! Besides that, some Sims might enjoy travelling more than others! Some Sims might get really homesick and annoyed of all the different things, while another Sim is simply fascinated by what he finds in this strange place. There should be different types of vacations such as adventures, honeymoon, wellness, family vacation, etc. Maybe your Sim decides to become an archeologist and starts digging up these strange places and learn about their ancient culture :P It would be great if the Sim could share some of that knowledge with the player, too! ;)
  
  * EDUCATION! Universities? Sure thing! We had that before, and it's great, but what about adding some more details to it? What if your Sim comes home with a simple degree, while the other one gets a PHD and can enjoy the formularities of a doctor title? ;) There should be different education types for kids too, and they should be able to give and get tuition from both family members/friends and hired tutors. Maybe one of the Sims kids/teens is being bullied or is a bully himself? You could choose different options to overcome the bully or if you are one yourself, eventually face consequences for your actions. Sims Teens can throw parties and be rebels, or become a superstar on social media platforms. Maybe a neglected Sim kid suddenly likes the teacher better than the family...
  
  
  As you see, I do prefer expansions that add realism to the game, although I don't dislike the supernatural things either. But I do prefer the realistic add ons which add some spices to the game, especially funny situations! I would like my Sims having to face different problems from different categories of life and find solutions for it! They can be completely random and/or depending on the Sims' personality and other details. It just adds so much more fun to the game and it becomes less predictable. The Sims being so predictable right now (despite the new emotions) just makes the game boring after a while. I always try to play through different generations in my Sims, but I'm never able to, because I simply get bored with the daily routines of my Sims. So I start over and try new Sims, in the hope they would bring me something new to the game. I would really appreciate some random situations, events, problems etc. to make the game more interesting and most importantly FUN! :)
  
  I just really hope one of the Gurus will take my suggestions to heart :) :)

  Ooo! I like it, maybe some type of arcade game pack?
  
  I think if they made theme parks, it could be a sort of subhood with the different districts being different areas of the park. Think of how disney world has their park laid out. They could have Western World, Sci-Fi Land, Medieval Land and a large castle in the middle (could act as a hotel), and a main street with shops and food. Rides everywhere, and if EA is generous enough there could be another included made for carnivals and such. :)

  @howsimlish‌ I like your ideas Town Life, Zoo, Fame & Fortune ~

  Maybe Get to Work will offer something like that? :)
  
  I also got a few more ideas for some features I'd like to see in the future:
  Superheros with real powers
  Cruises
  Restaurants and Fast Food ( with new types of food like Mexican, Indian, Chinese, ect )
  Sports
  Car repair shops and gas stations/mini markets

  ZOO
  
  I have been wanting a Zoo with exotics pets you can adopt for so long in the Sims games and I think there are so many possibilities for this EP such as a Veterinary clinic to take care of the Zoo animals which includes all the items needed to care for their illnesses and injuries, petting zoo, taking care of feeding the animals for zoo workers and bags of feed for people visiting the zoo that you buy at a stand, climbing items for like all types of monkeys and other climbing animals. You could have animals like all types of monkeys, tigers, lions, reptiles, small animals like bunnies, elephants, giraffe, penguins, birds of all types and so on. Each type of animals could have its own containment area matching the type of region they come from.
  
  
  SUPER MODEL
  
  I would also like to see a Modeling type EP with cat walks and beauty contests. Dressing stations with makeup counters and dressing rooms. I would like to see this also include young teens. I would like to see a nice array of clothing and gowns.
  
  
  MAKIN MAGIC TYPE
  
  One of the things I miss most is Making Magic from Sims 1. I would like to see them do a remake of this but up to date with the times. One of the things I loved most about that EP is that it created mystery along with a lot of unique things like beans that grew into a bean stalk. It had theme park rides and vendors who sold items you used to make some of the most unusual potions. Also when making potions from the ingredients you would have to work for sometimes getting from the vendors you might mess up on a potion and next thing you knew snakes were coming down from the skies landing all over your lawn. It had a magic theme to it too with epic magic battles and stage performances. It was a really funny and fun EP. Maybe you could have cable cars or a trolley that takes you around to this since we didn't get to ride in the one you have just for looks in the game. Please bring this back.
  
  
  CAR THEMED
  
  Another thing that might be fun since we don't have cars to drive in the game any longer is to do like a Car themed EP with like a Nascar or Indie type track that you could race against people on and then you would have pit crews who change the tires and service the cars. Then maybe have a Go-Cart track for the kids and they could have their own little mini races too. Maybe do a bumper car rink for families to do together too. Have fans who can also watch these events from the seating stands. Give out trophies to all the winners too.
  
  
  So EA please make some of these cool ideas a reality for me. Thank you

  I think the Town Life EP would work really well with the addition of active careers in GTW, but I really loved all the ideas.
  
  Town Life, School Days/University (these should be one EP), Seasons, Pets & Generations are the ones I want the most.

  I was thinking about Fame and Fortune, and I don't know if anybody remembers in The Sims 1 they had a set with a hospital bed and your sims had to act with it and had options for commercials, soap operas, movies, ect.
  
  What if they combined it with this:

  I love all of those ideas.
  I looked at the Supernatural ideas (since that's my favorite), and I thought about adding Elementals, (Fire powers, Earth Powers, etc.) into the game as well. I mean, I posted a discussion with that idea in hopes of starting that up. :neutral_face:
  
  Anyhow, lovely ideas. I hope the Gurus do something with these packs.

  I love all these ideas! I always love the supernatural expansion packs. One idea I'd have for it that could tie into the pets ep is the idea of familiars being able to transform into a sim and back.
  
  I love the idea of a heroes and villains ep, i had never thought of something like that before too. Also the idea for schools is awesome and I hope they do something like this. I have always loved the university expansions but expanding on elementary and high school in the same wag would be awesome.
  
  These ideas all actually get me really excited. I hope they implement them!
