1. Generations (I miss my toddlers and would love for more family play in sims4!)
2. University (For some reason I love that my sim gets the ability to have a education, also i'm sure it would work well with get together)
3. Find love (seems interesting.. I would love for it to be more 'fun' so to speak, to find love for my sims)
Otherwise I don't really know.. they also seem interesting in their own ways..
For some reason I don't think I would like the 'Power up' and the 'Rebuild' ep's...but who knows, i Might be surprised?
Others than those I'd absolutely love for Pets! and seasons would deffiently be awesome aswell.
Personally, I'd want:
Generations
Back to school
Metropolis
On the road
And then... don't really care
Btw, just completely randomly, how awesome is ovaltine! (Yes, I'm drinking ovaltine)
I would add vacations and a supernatural medieval EP
Ooh, a Supernatural/Medieval/Farming combo! That would be so cool.
In rough order of preference, I'd like to see:
- (All4) Seasons+CAW+the ability to rename neighborhoods/whatever you call them.
- A Generations-FreeTime combo (with Toddlers and Preteens and loads of hobbies and new interactions)
- A Back To School-University combo. Could also be combined with Generations to round out new lifestages?
- OMG I totally forgot to add Pets!
- A Vacation-On The Road combo, as they also seem to overlap.
- A Metropolis-Get Real combo, because GR sounds like a bunch of Active Careers that would fit in with City/condo living.
- A Supernatural/Medieval/Farming combo
- Rebuild/Apocalypse if there are real ways to fight off zombies, and actual brain-eating (behind the censor of course). No goofy plants! (I wonder how much of the Zombie Apocalypse Challenge from TS2 would have to be rewritten for a TS4 version... sneaks off to go reread the rules for ideas...)
I will buy whatever is offered, because when I played Sims 1 I sometimes skipped expansions and regretted it. However, if I get bored enough I will dump the game entirely.
Having said that, these are the ideas that interest me:
On the Road - I like the idea of the Mechanic active career, and I miss garages and driveways in houses.
Generations - I don't miss toddlers much, but the pre-teen stage interests me. And it would be good to have more distinct differences between teen, YA and adult stages.
Metropolis - Sounds like a lot of fun stuff. And apartments. Will there be apartments?
Rebuild - I agree with those who think this one is a little out there. But I would like to see what stories I could come up with, if the new world is trashed in interesting ways and I could rebuild and still show the effects of the previous destruction. And I would like to use the content in existing houses. I could do with a slightly run-down neighborhood. Broken windows, crumbling walls, cracked pavement...
Back to School - Less interesting, but the Teacher active career makes it worthwhile.
Vacation - I didn't have much use for Vacation in Sims 2, but I loved the beaches. And I want seasons. Can we have seasons? All four?
Even though some of these aren't on that list, this would be the order for me:
1. Seasons 2. Pets 3. University 4. Supernatural 5. Vacation (Winter getaway sounds good, in my opinion!) 6. Medieval or Renaissance Faire type (with different types, like an English one, Spanish style one, etc.) 7. Metropolis 8. Power Up 9. On the Road 10. Rebuild 11. Back to School 12. Generations 13. Get Real 14. Find Love 15. Get Famous
How would 'On the road' actually work in a closed neighborhood. Would it just be a loading screen with a car on it?
Most likely the same as Sims 2 you get in the car truck or motorcycle and drive to the end of the neighborhood be nice if they changed the loading screen to show your Sim driving on a random road.
Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"
At this point all I'd like is the apocalypse EP. However even that would depend on how it was done. If the zombies run up, hug the Sim and take a selfie....no thanks...I'll pass.

In order...
Pets
Seasons
Generation (I've gone this far without toddlers, I'd rather make sure we get other things first)
University (kind of equal to generations. TS4 has a strong focus on YA so I'm only interested in the possibilities of new careers.
Vacation (can be done with game packs honestly)
Metropolis (want apartments!)
Caught by the dreaded filter. Ah, well. I'm not up to retyping.
I'm too old to have an opinion anyway (according to EA).
On that note. Did anyone actually get one of these surveys themselves? I've only seen one person in the forums say they did.
I'm to old also, to far over the hill I guess. Oh well, I sure would have like to get that Survey. Hope we get some of them, the vacations sound nice all of them do.

Yes EA discriminates!!!! They should be reported the minute you get denied, as anyone who buys and plays a game has the right to answer - there should be no age discrimination and people should not be put in the position to lie just to fill out a survey or poll. If it can not be offered to all people who play the game then it should not be allowed to be asked.

It would be something easy to wiggle out of. All they have to say is we had enough of that demographic and needed different age groups.

this and big agree!!! and also.. they should send that dam survey to all players and not only to some and without age limit!!

Actually as one who takes a lot of surveys - they have to say it when they decline you to continue and it doesn't. After the fact doesn't cut it. We are also talking about a product you own and are using - also another factor is you have a bit more rights if it is a product you presently have and not some obscure product they are just doing a product search survey on - besides all else it should be on the survey before you open it that clarifies they may discriminate to certain group. When I get turned down for any of the thousands of surveys I do a year - it is always mentioned in the beginning and it also matter if you own the product in question already.
Where you own the product and the survey is on additions to that product for everyone - then they need the survey to be for all owners of the product and not just a select few. Now if it was a brand new game that would be a different story. They are letting one group decide for all of us what they find they like the most. Where is there anything in that - that says it is the right thing to do?

The themes look rather different from the ones proposed in the pre-game survey last year. It seems more as if they are probing for interest in the ideas given in the Ideas section of the forums rather than suggesting what is likely to come next.
h@ttp://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/843219/list-of-sims-4-expansion-pack-ideas (Remove the @ after the h to follow the link.)
Some of what is proposed in the second survey sounds more interesting that what was in the [url=h@ttp://simsvip.com/2014/03/20/thesims4-new-official-survey-making-its-rounds/]original survey[/url] (and some doesn't). But, we've seen more concept art that hasn't made it into the game yet. It makes me think that there might not be much room for changing their plans, which adapting some of these ideas would require.
As far as my personal preferences....apparently I'm too old to have an opinion.
