Thatched roof cottages, ancient castles, stonehenge, tiny dickensian style terraced houses, pubs!, football (soccer to you), the gentle swish of crickets bats on the lawn while ladies in floral dresses sip tea on the patio... Ok Im getting too British now. Lol
Oh, and I am a full Brit, born and bred... and I have never seen a red double decker bus in my life. Too many movies
Are you Cornish? We have red double-deckers across the county border in Plymouth...
We also have black cabs and there is a red phonebox and postbox right outside my flat.
Also London's full of 'em.
Not all of them are double deckers but all the ones I've seen are red and I'm there almost every day. It just depends on what bus company you have in your area I guess. Most of the buses where I live are green and blue.
And with the cab situation, anywhere I've been that's not London just uses regular cars with a cab company sticker on them.
If the sims had a British style neigbourhood I'm pretty sure they'd use all the iconic imagery like red buses and whatnot because that's the image that non Brits have of the UK.
Yes it's a bit overdone with the idea that all brits have bad teeth, I've seen lots of Hollywood style teeth, and quite a few brits are very fashionable as well too.
I like to drink both tea and coffee, most people I've met drink coffee.
In the North West I've never seen a red bus, and I've just started seeing black cabs, up north a bit they don't have them, or at least I've never seen them.
It's interesting to see people's opinions of The UK.
I think Sims 3 tried to go this route before with the "Aurora Sky" world it had a European feel to me.
British theme specifically would be great though! I'd love to make a Dr. Who sim and story!
I'm British and would love to be able to pour tea from a proper teapot, be able to serve little cakes off silver trays and be able to go to venues for afternoon tea. We should also have a soap opera channel on TV and watch Simonation Street or Simmerdale. It would be cool to have tudor style houses as well

How about "Oasis Springers" (EastEnders) or "The Only Way is Willow Creek" (The Only Way is Essex)?

Being a brit i love playing the sims, its american styled (obvs it being made american and being based in america) it makes it so much fun living the american life style... Mail boxes, styles of homes, pools (soon) etc<br />
<br />
However... How would american simmers feel if they went british style? London town, country style?
That would make me so happy on every single level ever that I would probably explode. Anglophile here...massively.
Check my builds and Sims out on the Gallery, username Lizzychicago!
Really they should make different versions that go with the countries that they sell to. That way if someone wants a certain style to their game, they can purchase the version they want, But that would be too much and would not make enough money, and it is about the money!
I always felt that simmers who dont live in the usa had a little extra fun, cause we use to see those things in the movies and then we actually could play with it.. for me one of the reasons why i enjoyed it so much.. it was endless with options!
I did like the idea of countries with the belonging atmosphere in WA, BUT i hated the adventure part about it, the visa rules that limited you unless you are chasing a mummy in a cave or something.. that wasn't good.
I would like to see ts1/ts2 holiday style, but then the sims-countries from ts3 and maybe more than just 3. Being able to buy property there, choose the days of travel and maybe for those who want exploring the environment a bit, but it should be totally separate.
I'm a Brit and like playing the Sims as it is. I don't think it's particularly Americanised. I feel like it's just their own little world to be honest. I'd probably cringe seeing an British/English theme, there's not much difference in our way of life than America either. If they are gonna bring out a themed pack i'd hope for a Japanese one. Something that's very different to what we have now but just as with the British idea, there's a fine line between homage and racism so i'd just rather they left it alone.
If they do a World Adventure exp I would love to see a British theme neighborhood/world to visit. The only question would be what life state/hobby to tie in with the exp.
In 3, the wine-making hobby was tied in with the France-themed neighborhood, the martial arts hobby with the Oriental-themed neighborhood, and mummy life state with the Egypt-themed neighborhood.

Binge drinking and drug abuse could be an appropriate hobby for Sims 4 Britain -.-
Well the British Isles has a long history of alcohol making, beer, cider, mead, whisky and whiskey. These days we also have award winning vineyards and have started growing our own tea. That might fit with a WA type EP

They would need to bring back terrain tools if they were ever going to do Scotland We're all hills and valleys here. And Seasons. We can have every type of weather in one day.
To be honest, I agree with @Crackfox . I don't think the game is overly American - I like it just the way it is.
I do like the country style world, but a London style world would limit my opportunities, unless it is an older style city, with cobblestone streets. I would love that!
I'm from England and I do like the idea but I must admit if they did decide to do it I'd hope they themed it after somewhere that isn't London.
I know it's the most iconic place in the country and it would make the most sense to theme it after that city but not being a Londoner I get a bit tired of everything being themed after London. We're a whole country, not just one city and TBH I really don't feel that London represents England as a whole.
I wouldn't expect anything to be themed off my naff area but I just don't want to end up with a really heavy London influence in my game.
Leave it to my fellow Americans to figure out a way to deliver the post without actually having to get out of the truck.
Actually boxes on posts near the street are only in rural areas and those subdivisions where there are no sidewalks. Our postal service is not lazy.
I think a mail slot in the door would be a nice change, also perhaps a wall mounted postal box. Other than vehicles, I haven't see much difference between the building structures.
Talking of lorries, the cars would have to be on the left hand side of the road Assuming we get cars. Now that would confuse everyone just like in real life

What, so you'd rather live in a run down area of London or Birmingham? Pfft.

Yes. Oh gosh that would be amazing xD
Think of the CAS options!
Sometimes I think my sims could star on Jeremy Kyle in their own rights.
