I feel this is what the community really needs. Families are really lacking in the Sims 4, and Generations is the best idea for the next expansion.
*Babies- Make them useful. Be able to carry them around. They shouldn't be just a burrito in a basket for this EP. Make them awesome!!
*Toddlers- Toddlers would be great to add in this EP, but they would be added for a free patch before this EP. I would like them to be able to potty trained, and taught to talk, and walk as well. Strollers should return. Toddlers in addition will have sand boxes at parks. They can also be carried around in a stroller.
*Addition to Kids- I would like kids to be able to loose baby teeth, prompting a mood let. Also kids can put the teeth under their pillows, and the tooth fairy will come like a grim reaper type thing. They will get the tooth and leave. I think it would be cool if kids can conduct stake outs to catch the tooth fairy. I would also like the costume box to come back. Imaginary Friends as well would be cool. Kids should also have to do school projects sometimes, like science fairs and stuff.
*Additions to Teens- I would like curfews to come back, and punishments. Also, prom and dances, field trips, and more to schools. Make teens smaller than adults. Yes I know this would be hard, but for us the Sim team would do anything, and I hate how teens are just as tall as adults. It is so unrealistic. Just make them in between adult and kid. Teens would have to do chores as well, given by their parents. As an adult you can assign chores. Adults can teach teens to drive (By just going off the lot)
*Additions to Elders- Canes. Also maybe memory loss?
*Families getting phone calls about death of family members, and taking it hard- I feel this is lacking in the Sims. In Sims 4 you don't get phone calls when your Sim's family members die. Which is terrible. They also don't have any emotion at all. I liked how in Sims 3 even if you were just acquaintances with them, your sim would be devastated
*Vehicles- I would like teleporting to be gone. Yes I know there isn't open world, but it would add realism to Sims 4. They would be like Sims 2, so as soon as they go off the lot they disappear (Like when going to work). If you are say, going to the park you would get in the car, drive off into a loading screen, then when the loading screen is over you would be driving up to the park.
*New types of parties- Bachelor parties, Teen makeout parties, Baby showers. Also, the ability to plan your parties. I hate how in Sims 4 your parties start instantly. What if i want the party to be at 7, and its 4? Too bad. You'll need to be ready before starting the party. I would like this to be reimplemented
*Boarding School, and home schooling- Pretty much like Sims 3. Home school pretty much your sims would have to teach the child, and for boarding school if they are misbehaving they can be sent to boarding school.
*In depth weddings- I think it would be nice, with retail for grooms and brides to be able to plan out their wedding dresses, and suits. So you can shop for the dress you like at a wedding place. It would be sweet
*New Jobs- Daycare runner
*New Town- Filled with houses, parks, an ocean. Stuff filled with things to do with a family.
*Custom Lifespan Tool- This would be like Sims 3 where you can adjust an life states. Don't like toddlers? Make it so they'll age up after a day! Like the teen years? Go to 100 days!
*More to pools- Woohooing in pools, kissing in pools. Water slides, diving boards, skinny dipping. These should definitely return!
*Hot tubs- Same thing as pools, but warm.
-Amazing surprise feature PETS, or SEASONS- How awesome would it be if they added pets in this expansion pack! It would be a great combo of stuff. Maybe even Seasons. With Holidays, and festivals coming back. Parades. Maybe all 3 - Generations,Pets, and Seasons!! OMG PLEASE.
Any more ideas? Put them in the comments!

OMG!! Didn't think of this! Thank you!
Please EA
From that list I can only think of carpools and the custom lifespam tool which should be both in a patch.
Maybe not 90%, but some things are.
I'm talking that i don't wanna pay for stuff that was in TS3 base, you don't get it?
(but I won't mind too much if the next EP is city related. I really want a big city with apartments, restaurants, nightclubs, cinemas, bowling, etc. As long as we'll get toddlers soon after that, I'm good.)
According to the survey from a while ago, cities may be in the works.
Please EA
My teen does chores, the kitchen and yard is his sanctuary he cooks for his family and keeps the outside of the house looking good, and he's handy.
But I think I agree with everything else.
Especially vehicles, Driving is a right of passage for teenagers.
Oh yeah and Babies, At least let us pick traits make us believe they're alive. one trait, and more trait slots for the other life stages.
and toddlers need more stylish clothing, I would never dress my child with the options the sims 3 had.
My Mood:
2. The Sims 3
3. The Sims 4 (5 years later its decent)
4. The Sims 1
finally no more suburbs & finally something to do as a sim family than talking
& i could even get tempted to buy some GPs if the devs throw inbetween some new for builders with lots of different architecture
& as the third EP or as a bigger GP there should be restaurants or restaurants in the cities EP already
with GTW, Family, Cities, Restaurants & Architecture i would be more playing than hanging here around
Babies; changing tables, bouncer (not stuck to the crib)
Toddler; walkers, toddler areas in the park, sand pits, water table
Children; learn to ride a bike, dress up, imaginary friends, tea parties, nightlight and being scared of the dark, (love the tooth fairy idea) sleepovers
Teens; Learning to drive (even if they just go off the lot for a little while) more part time jobs, more awkwardness, spots
Also think they should have more party types, movie night, sleep overs, themed birthday parties for the kids. I really miss the festivals like spooky day and egg hunts. I think seasons would go well with this one as you could include the festivals and also things like the snowball fights and the water slides. Really really want this to be a good one with some of the old and some new things in and I really think the way everyone goes on about toddlers it really should be the next EP
I like some of those toddler ideas! I'll add those!
Please EA
Like a pillow fort or something?
Please EA
Yes, or with boxes or what we used to do was get the dining room chairs and throw a blanket over it. Just thought they could even just hide under the table and pretend it was a den. You know how they used to play in the bath and fish in the pool in ts3, have different interactions on normal objects for the kids.
I really hope they make an expansion like this, I would buy it in a heartbeat!
My tumblr - A world of clutter and color
I do feel, however, that their features could be tweaked in CAS a little bit so they look less like an adult. I don't know if that's just as unrealistic as height change though.
