I am a new player and haven’t played any games before Sims 4. I fell in love with the game around 4 months ago. Here are some things that stand out to me personally (they might seem like bare minimum compared to veterans of the game though ^^; Sarah16189's post seems very in depth and I noticed a few things I absolutely agree with!!)
~Story Progression: Official story progression for “NPC” Sims would be the best thing ever! I have seen in a Sims 3 video that non played Sims get into relationships and break up, get jobs etc. For a simulated world this should be essential!
~Relationships: Sims can get along too well and there’s no depth without imagination (and I only want to use imagination with my played Sims, not the “NPCs”). My favourite mod is the Chemistry System by thepancake1 which will tell you if sims have good/okay/bad chemistry which makes relationships feel more realistic and less like I’m choosing my Sims relationships for them. Would love for something like this to be official!
~Personalities: Either zodiac signs or personality types so that Sims have a bit more to them than the 3 traits. Maybe this can be what determines chemistry between sims too.
~CAS: Copy outfit and/or lock items option/s pleeeeease!
~Lots: I would LOVE another Newcrest-esque map, preferably for free, but I honestly think I would buy a kit which was a map too.
~I think focus on you making CAS items is less important because of the quality and amount of CC creators. But official build & buy items are useful for sharing builds on the gallery. I would be more likely to buy a pack in this order: 1. Gameplay 2. Build&Buy. (I’m not a console player but making CC possible for consoles would be cool if it’s possible and then your artists can focus on things highly in demand).
~It would be super cool if mermaids were improved
~I have the Cats&Dogs pack and wish I could see them being walked/strays on every map and not just the pack map. And why do my NPC sims never adopt their own cats or dogs?
~I also saw that you can catch wild animals like rats, birds and lizards on the Sims 3, since foraging etc already exists in Sims 4, it would be easy to add little pets to find inside bushes and such. I think it’d be cool if they were kinda rare.
