I know TS4 will be ongoing for years (and I love that), but they couldn't change some major features in the game to leave it for the next series.

Isn't there like 7 stages in TS4?
Baby, toddler, child, teen, young adult, adult, elder, adding maybe 3 more like preteen/tween, something between toddler and child, and something between adult and elder, jusy that Sims will last longer.
As much as I enjoyed open world, I could live with just open neighborhoods.
I don’t see the point of most of the other options, tbh. I don’t want to deal with public transport and have to juggle catching a bus at the correct time when we currently have to deal with it taking Sims multiple hours to eat a sandwich, or wander halfway across the lot and up 3 flights of stairs to wash dishes in the bathroom.
I wouldn’t mind a bit more control over finance, like being able to set how funds are divided when a sim moves out, or the ability to determine who inherits when a sim dies, but I don’t want sims paying loans and such.
I don’t need any more life stages. There’s a fine line between making things overly realistic and fussy, and covering the basics. Right now we have a nice balance and can use our imaginations and god-like powers to enforce the minutiae.
Adjustable height is just asking for more bugs and frustration. I don’t want my game bogged down with nonsense like having to constantly adjust the height of things for Sims who can’t reach, and the awkward animations between shorty and the giant. We already seem to be getting cheated as is on animations that require real interaction between sims, adding in variable height isn’t going to make things like slow dancing and walking hand-in-hand easier to animate.
Yes, I'd really like to delete those playgrounds. I'd also like to close off my road (without creating a routing problem) to cars. (Even though players don't have them in S4, there are still the NPC cars that go speeding down roads. I hated that in S3 and still hate it.)
Most of the items in the poll seem like 'nice to haves'. I'd rather they focus on the Sims themselves, with better AI and more complex personalities. It seems like AI has taken huge leaps in the past five years, and you would hope that with a fresh, new game, they could take advantage of that.
Also, need a color palette if not a color wheel, giving us at least some standard options to recolor at our choice with at least the very basic 8-16 colors.

In REALITY, I simply exist.....
Also first person is already in the game that horrible feature was patched in awhile back.
We don't need tweens, anything between toddler and child or anything between adults and elders.
My 2nd pick would be height sliders.
Color wheel/hue for clothing, hair, furniture, etc.
Having to shop for food ingredients, recipes, books and clothing.
Sims eating with a knife and fork.
Shorter teens.
Dynamic weather system from the bat with rain, fog, lighting and cloudy weather.
Active/self employment careers.
Cars and buses.
I couldn’t agree more! The AI and personalities, Sims themselves, need serious work. There’s just no depth at all to them. 😕
