Within updates with Ts4 vampires should not be able to sparkle and shouldn't have to ask permission.Also think of something unique with just being vampires. Taking things from Ts3 and keeping it can keep the fans in an endless loop of boredom after a couple of hours having the same functions.
Now as for a more realistic way of sim living, EA be real with us. We get the cartoon theme and everything but bring us something more exciting. How about letting us build the town and having us set the certain weather. Then maybe for a little more fun kids actually go to school like you can actually attend class. And you know maybe when you bring university back maybe have a class where your actually in it and have the arena type desk thing where there up higher to see there professor. Have more realistic cars. Bring some crime in the picture have a kidnapping mod,robbing. Really guys when creating a new generation of a game you gotta be thinking big. And the first step to doing that is getting out of the same stuff. Cause your not gonna make as much money off the game as you desire of you don't start giving in to what the people say and there saying give us something different.
