I would love if the second EP would be city themed. I hope we would get actual skyscraper buildings (like the ability of making more than 4 floors, since we will get the 4th floor in a patch in the end of March), not like in Late Night, and also elevators, cars, garages, escalators, hot tubs, apartments, restaurants, and cinemas.
I think they are holding Family Play off until they finish Toddlers. They obviously know it would make The Sims 4 sell like hotcakes, and it must be annoying that they haven't finished them yet.
Personally I think they need to make other changes as well. There are a lot of players who have the complaint of shallow Sims with ever changing emotions. If you've ever looked at the main feedback threads there are a lot of players who have new accounts and have come here to voice their disappointment. Yes there are players who want their toddlers but there appears to be more and more players discovering how little the game really has to offer.
I would imagine that there will be players buying EPs just to fill out a light base game....but reading posts here there are just as many not buying because of the same reason.
For me they need to tweak those manic emotions and balance out the scripted play with more player choices before I even think about investing more. A redux of Late Night, Night Life and Hot Date just doesn't sound appealing.

I'd love to see downtown and Sims 2-style apartments/row housing next (well, I'd love weather or farming more, but I suspect those need more time in animation, especially if farming were to include animals). Restaurants and food carts would be a great fit with that, as would a politics/activist career and the ability to let out rooms in your house to townies. I feel like we got a fair bit of nightlife in the base game for the first time, though.

I too was thinking that there maybe a heart of the city themed expansion pack will be coming very soon, like in the next year or two soon. And with it the possibility of vampires making a return. When I too had noticed how close the city skyline was from the spot where the camera was in recent screenshots.
Nightlife and Late Night were among my favorite EPs, and I wouldn't doubt if that's what's literally on the horizon. Even with its problems, I miss Bridgeport. Oh Romeo (Rake), where art thou?

If the expansion or game pack offers more than 4 lots for a 2D Facebook neighborhood 'city' then it'll be great but otherwise if they continue the current trend then forget it. Nothing can top TS3 Nightlife neighborhood, open world in that big city with buildings of all sizes and subway transportation, clubs and vampires, etc.

3. The Sims 4 (5 years later its decent)

The Neighborhoods aren't 2D, the Map is. Most maps are 2D. The Sims 3 and 2 just didn't have a Map screen, they went straight to the world.
I think it would be a mix of night life and apartment life? That's what it seems like! It seems like they will combine recent like packs with these EP's...which means we would same a lot of money in the end!! But it seems pretty legit. love apartments and I would love the city life! uugh, don't get me excited
and there we go again giving them so many good and wonderful ideas that could totally make it in the game and what do we get possibly.. a 4 lot world with 1 nightclub, 1 dj boot, 1 bar, 1 lot for us to build on and 1 high building with apartments.. woooow
I thought the same thing, We can build 4 floors now with Get To Work then with a nightlife pack expand it to 5 or 6 for apartments
It should be a GP then. Not the next EP Next EP should be Generations. Last time I checked online, didn't hear any players saying, "I won't spend another dime until I get an apartment" or "why is there no apartment play". If EA doesn't improve the family play in the next EP and fix the more disturbing elements that are clearly bugs (like the father impregnating his daughter), it's going to be very disappointing.
People are saying that about lots, a city might solve that.
If apartments are don't right, it could help solve the lot issues because then you can have multiple families live on the same lots.
That possibly, but also because if it's focused around cities, they could create a new city world, an entire world this time, not just Magnolia-neighborhood. They've heard our cry for lots, it would be easy money if they released something like this.

I don't think it would. A large city world would not make up for a small Willow Creek suburb. It would just be a city. Again, I see this as an Outdoors kind of EP. You go into the city to shop (from GTW code), dine out (new code), club (from Base Game code), and you come back to your suburb. Urban YA sims can move there and have flatmates, but most sims will live in houses.
It should also be noted that gorgeous mansions are not commonly found in the heart of a city, and I don't think EA would add a component that cannibalises one of the few features they got right in TS4, i.e., build mode.
Granted this is just my opinion, you could be right I just think a GP would be best.
To the poster who made the Town Life comment: YES! Great call. I seriously hope that this is an EP in the works. We need a town hall and a mayor career and customisable laws... heck yeah!

I totally see that happening
But the city looks lovely
Family should have come first not GTW.
But anyways hopefully it'll go like this; GTW, Family, City, Seasons, then whatever cause I'll be happy then ha-ha.

Just wait about two weeks after GTW comes out. There will be a lot more people talking about what's next.
