My guess (and it is a guess!) is that the next little period is going to be family gameplay, new stuff for kids and toddlers and of course infants. And possibly elders either in the same pack or a pack of their own.
As someone who is playing a lot of teens I think they’re in the best state they’ve been. If you have the right packs teens can go to school and do stuff on the weekend and maintain some teen hobbies and activities. So they feel close to done. And YA, adult are fine too.
Toddlers are fun if you play parenthood but they can maybe use some alternative gameplay where you’re playing as them and not their parent. Baby, child and elder need some love.
I think next year will be about rounding out the family and making it so all lifestages have unique experience.
You didn’t specify what format or time frame, but I am assuming you mean free game updates as opposed to packs. So, in the next year I expect continued free bb objects and CAS items through Sims Express Delivery, and tweaks of Neighborhood Stories and Wants/Fears. I hope we’ll get some pack refreshes, as well. Some of the other things you mentioned might happen, but could possibly be tied to packs.
If, however, you’re referring to packs, it could be literally anything.
Free CAS stuff - new hair, clothing, tattoos, skin tones, eye color, etc in create a sim.
You're really asking 2 questions here. What I want to see is richer personalities, but that's not happening. Instead, I think we'll just get more free stuff
I definitely want richer personalities by giving us a complete trait update and make traits more meaningful like in the Sims 3, such as evil Sims giving a more evil laugh and lying to their parents, also cheerful Sims being louder and more friendly, romantic Sims having more luck in relationships etc, also number two would be a memory system, memories would add so much more depth to the game that we need, also I would love the Sims team to bring back turn ons and turn offs too.
I couldn't pick just one thing! LOL (You can call me Greedy McGreedy!)
I personally don't need any more CAS/BB stuff (I use CC so I can always get more)
For me ..... It's all about the GAME PLAY!
Richer personalities - new game mechanics that enrich their A.I
More gameplay option - such as a new career for a sim to choose from
More free traits
More options to the attraction system such as turn ons and turn offs more in depth
A memory system that effects sims
That’s what I’m saying. Everything you mentioned is what I want. What good is it to have new items if the gameplay is lackluster? I hope for everything you pointed out

No I am not referring to packs. I mentioned updates (:

I’d like to see them work in the attraction system so that we can choose who are sims are attracted to.
I’d also like to see them working on memory and how it affects sims.
I hope that when they work on these things and richer personalities and wants and fears that they leave the stuff open ended so that we can choose outcomes ourselves and not have premade ones, that’s where wants and fears and personalities lack in that we don’t really have the option to guide them in the direction we want to. I want to be able to direct my sims, rather than having a lot of presets. Example. I don’t like that goofballs are directed to prank toilets. Give me a choice what goofballs do instead of assuming i want good balls to be mischievous. I would prefer evil sims or mean sims to pull these pranks and goofballs be more prone to making people laugh
I'm hoping more with the neighborhood stories. It hardly works in my game. Barely any babies, nobody is adopting pets... like come on. Make it work please!
*sighing* I might as well say "something else". Cause all I wanted is more black cultures in The Sims 4, the only reason I want em' is because I don't like getting me and the other black simmers being ignored for wanting more clothing, build/buy features, foods, R&B station, and Simlish-language hip hop songs from the past/future. It is all my fault, I'm sorry for being out of hand y'all! The truth is that.....
I'm no longer talking about radio stations anymore. I'm sorry!
I think the ship has sailed for richer personalities they have tried everything they have done never adds any impact to gameplay and is extremely shallow I blame the base game. I think clothing hair are a given so I'm going with cars seeing as they let us know we hear you and mentioned cars as they did with babies which are being improved with infants.
Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"
Besides more traits (the ones we have are all so played through several times and are starting to get boring) I'd love for an open neighborhood system, being able to go to different venues without a loading screen would just make the game experience so much smoother. I get it, lag for players with lower end pc's. But maybe if it was like a toggle or even a separate pack (I'd buy it instantly, with bugs and all )
RIP Cars and Open Neighborhood updates
I begin to doubt about updates adding attraction system, different eye, prosthetic limbs, graveyard venue and non binary sims.
I think no big update is planned because of :
2015 : 2 EP
2016 : 1 EP + Gender Options update
2017 : 1 EP + Toddler update
2018 : 2 EP
2019 : 2 EP
2020 : 2 EP
2021 : 1 EP
2022 : 1 EP + Pronoun & Sexual Preferences updates

Oh no way Jose! Not without my friends and family being broke without cars, now I gotta get back to The Sims 4
