Packs the SIMS 4 still Desperately NEEDs

Those are the most important pack ideas that the Sims 4 needs. some most Of which are famous fan-requested packs. Now mind you this is not just some rubbish talking, this post is long, though those ideas are well explained and not just some crazy ideas. I am trying to be as realistic as possible in the sense of that they are very possible to make but considering how Un ambitious cheap and lazy the Sims team and ea have been I can only imagine that most of those basic expected features being half-made or not made at all. And this is not ever possible if they are going with the very cheap and low standard for expansion packs like the 3 latest ones we've got especially for rent as one feature and system change revolves around a whole 40$ pack.(multi-units in 1 lot made a whole expansion pack no real estate no nothing else) This new standard of expansion packs is horrible for the sims 4 and will cause the game to end in failure and misery. If I missed a pack idea do mention them below but other than that These are the 7 in-total pack ideas :



1. CARS The only reason the Sims team has an excuse that they took 10 years and still no Cars is the fact that sims 4 world are not open world. Though as many people have noticed sims 4 neighborhoods are becoming bigger with longer roads. With that the sims 4 can now do cars , motorcycles, wagon on horses and we what so ever don't need an open world for cars anyways. Drive until the end of the road is fine. THE PACK IS probably coming in an expansion pack and must come with car racing with other sims and a mechanic career and a garage place where u can customize and upgrade your vehicle and a car sales showcase shop and job would be wonderful. The world must be like TOKYO with futuristic skyscrapers neon lights fast cars on the roads would be a wonderful opportunity to get a city world once more.



2. HOTELS are now super simple to make as they follow the same system as the bare minimum pack of for rent. You build a hotel a put the shared space and each hotel room where each guests can only view their own rooms and shared spaces. the only things they would have to add is multifunctionality that let's u have restaurants spas etc... In the hotel. Obviously, new activities must come with too. As for the world, the pack can come with a game pack but ea pricing it for 40$ wouldn't come as a surprise to me so the world should come as a Caribbean tropical African world like maybe madagascar or south africa with beaches more vast than the beaches in the island living pack sulani. So basically the pack should take inspiration from the movie BLENDED for the ones who have seen this movie, as it is a vacation in Africa with hotels. if it's an expansion pack. And this would a great opportunity to implement the long-awaited water pool activities such as diving boards volleyball pool etc..



3. An expansion pack with another CITY a city with high skyscrapers and apartments. As we already have a modern city San Myshuno in the sims 4 city living and a super modern one that should come with cars based on Tokyo or Dubai. We should get an older city like New York Brooklyn with busy streets. Like the world we got in sims 3 BRIDGEPORT mixing it with the Roaring Heights world basically a 1920s GATSBY PACK where we can get an overhaul to parties and make it bigger and more fun and a fixer-upper car. Obviously this for an expansion is not enough IT WOULD be essential to add BANDS and Music careers to it where bands can perform in the rooftop of skyscrapers and have concerts in the southern subborn neighborhood of the city. This pack as it only comes with bands should give us all the other miscellaneous features, activities, careers, hobbies and skills thats been missing in the sims 4. And have it a bit like the ambitions pack in the sims 3 from a dentist career in the city and REAL ESTATE which is essential to owning business(lots) and making revenue and more. they can go beyond with this pack and make it wonderful as we know the sims 4 is coming to a close end so we deserve all this and more and they should make this thier love letter to the sims community and this sims 4.



4. You know what the sims 4 is deeply missing in the fun gameplay aspect of the game? CARNIVALS-AMUSEMENTS PARKS. We need to get a game pack that comes with roller coasters and carnival rides etc... All that fun stuff, and make it nothing like the boring pier park in high schools years Cooper dale because this is filled with fake rides and is a joke. ARCADES SHOULD ALSO 100% come with this just adding arcade machines etc.. And an arcade lot type not repeating the same mistake with the bowling stuff pack of which had no bowling type lot. Furthermore, we need a world for all those carnivals and parks so giving us a a small world like DISNEYLAND where there is an already fixed place u can vist that has rides and roller-coaster and a whole Disneyland-inspired world set up.



5. WORLD adventures expansion pack where we get 3 worlds exactly like the beloved world adventures pack we got in the sims 3. An Egypt inspired world, China world and an Italian-inspired world. Each with approximately 5 lots and each having its own unique stories and features and skills. It would make another really nice love letter to the fans before the sims 4 ends.



6. Since we are deeply lacking African worlds we need to add another one to the list. A game pack where the sims introduce a very new experience to the sims franchise that would go along really well. a SAFARI-type game pack In the African savanna with ZOOs as well, where there are wild animals basically functioning like cottage livings cows and llamas coming with an object but u can still care for them and having them come out of their shelter exactly like the cows and llamas. Being a zoo owner and zoo keeper would be very cool too. If cats would have come out which they should, they could do the whole safari experience with the safari bus driving around the savanna looking at animals in the wild so not only in the ZOOs. The world should come with livable lots too.



7. FAIRIES gamepack. fairies is the last occult missing in the sims 4.



So these are the final packs that should come within the final years of the sims 4. Important to mention that they are a lot but not hard to do by any means if u understand closely each pack idea and its features alone you'll understand that any million-dollar company can do it let alone a billion-dollar company and nothing here is off the charts with its ideas everything is simple and based on previous packs they did the sims 4 and in previous titles including the sims freeplay which shows that's its very possible if they try a bit and stop being lazy and cheap. So a hotel expansion pack , cars expansion pack , city living 2.0 /bands music expansion pack, carnival game pack, world adventures expansion pack, zoo safari African-based pack and fairies game pack. 4 expansion packs 3 game packs. And THIS is ladies and gentlemen how the Sims 4 can become a fully-fledged game before it ends.

    I don't think a game like the Sims can ever be fully fledged, they could continue to add new things and upgrade and improve on it for ever. Anyway, I would love a pack inspired by Cuba and all the vintage cars. They could add car and small plane repairs to it. Would also love packs based on India, middle east, Vitenam, Cambodia. Would be nice if they added more temple adventures and interactions. And big cats too. Also, a city based on Paris, bet it would look wonderful in TS4.

    What about golems? aqrabuamelu? leprechauns? zombies?
    -No, my almost-elderly mother, I don't think it's a good time for you to try for a baby.
    -Yes, person I barely know, you have my blessing to hang out with Johnny Zest.
    -No person with the mean, hot-headed and self-absorbed traits, I don't think you should get married.

    Interesting ideas. Something based on 1920-40s would be fun if done right. The kind of pack that feels like you'd meet Humphrey Bogart.

    Sims 2 is a very closed world yet has cars that both function and can be worked on inf you have the hobbies pack. No excuse, EA, for no cars!

    why don't you think so is it because its not open world or how simple it is like no supermarkets no airports etc... yeah big cats in the zoo world adventures for all those type of worlds .

    yeah it doesn't even have to be 1920s set timed pack just the aesthetic and some of the stuff from that time like the huge parties.
    definitely no excuse for no cars!!

    Well, fairies have been in the previous games. And what's aqrabuamelu?

    Anyway, the other life states that were in previous games (besides zombies) were:
    • Genies
    • Mummies
    • Imaginary Friends
    • Bigfoot
    Plus, players want PlantSims to be a full-on permanent life state rather than a temporary one.

    What is more important is a matter of preference. For me the game feels a bit bland without some fantasy elements. For some simmers the occult life states are more important than real life realism. And others want to avoid them at any cost. Both are equally valid opinions.

    The best solution would be toggles for each occult separately. That way simmers who like occults can enjoy them to the fullest without them being nerfed and those who hate them can turn them off.

    I really hope plantsims can be upgraded to real lifestates at some point. They were my favourite in the sims 2. I also hope to get fairies and genies at some point. I already have a sim in my game who is a genie in my story. He is ready to become a genie officially.

    this idea is very good indeed, they should implement that as quickly as possible since finding aliens in hangout spots breaks the realism and werewolves too are to cartoonish they should all have a toggle on and off

    Why, IT’S SCORPION MAN! 🦂💪🏼

    I want Scorpion Man! You want Scorpion Man. Literally ALL simmers want Scorpion Man! So called “Real Life Realistic” game play isn’t important whatsoever, but I can tell you what is though: It’s Scorpion Man. No toggles, just Scorpion Man for all, all the time. Aaah sims heaven.
    I’m serious. I would like scorpion man and many, many other occults. And bands and a world editor. And most definitely cars, but with toggles. Unlike Scorpion Man. No toggles for Scorpion Man. Scorpion Man is a free Man. Yarr.

    I need bands so much. Including a lead-singer career and great venues for my bands to do concerts! That I am longing for.
    Others than that I would love to get multi purpose lots and something like hotels we can actually build. So many ideas... very run down places for the poorer Sims, luxury spa hotels for the richer ones. The richer ones who became so rich because they're playing a the most famous rock band... you see what I did here.

    We definitely need a Hotels/Resorts Expansion Pack, Hobbies Expansion Pack like Sims 2 Freetime and a Active School Expansion Pack for Children like High School Years. Hotels/Resorts are definitely number one though.
