Most important idea/wish for the Neighborly EP

I totally support above (one reason I use restaurantguestoverhaul), but yes at regular communitylot, please.

As a lot trait, for example , as I don't want that in bars or nightclubs.

It's a mystery why toddlers are not allowed to spawn.

Yes to all this OP especially inviting the entire family household and infants and toddlers should be free to roam around the neighborhood like they're family I would also like strollers as well to be in the neighborhood.

Also I would like toddlers and infants at dine out so toddlers can eat with the family.

The entire point of freeing the babies was freeing the babies I want infants to travel with parents npc wise like I want to travel my playing family to ab area and see both npc infants and toddlers with the family. We have a recreation center an area dedicated to both toddlers and infants a splash pad as but we don't see infants nor toddlers there. Also how are they going to be introduced to other infants and toddlers???

Toggles for randomized townies so I can disable game from spawning them and make it use existing sims

but also so we can choose which households are allowed to show up in which worlds or choose our own npc or such

I think this would make neighbors feel more like neighbors in the game rather than random sims that exist only to walk past your house once and then game creates new walkby sim again and again and again

but yeah thats more like update stuff
as for ep itself I'm hoping its either like freetime/apartmentlife or urbz/showtime

We don't know what awaits us yet, but my number 1 wish when I heard we'll get a "neighborly" EP was an overhaul of lot visitors.

Just like a pet can visit a lot with their owner, I'm dying to see the same for households / groups of Sims connected to each other. Ever since Dine Out, I've been longing to see this.

-Please bring back the TS2 option to invite a whole household over from the relationship panel.
-Please make it so that whole families can spawn as visitors at Community lots. I'd especially love to see toddlers and children accompanied by their patents/grandparents/elder siblings and couples or best friends spending quality time together.
(-While your at it, please fix the recent oversight and add a Horse hangout lot trait.)

That would be a true game changer for me.

What's your wish? Would you support mine?

I like your idea very much, I wish families could show up together at family lots too. I want my toddlers to be able to meet each other, but without going to someone’s house, that doesn’t seem possible. I can understand not wanting toddlers ( or infants ) showing up at lots by themself, but with a parent, grandparent, teen brother or sister, I think that would be really nice. It would also be nice to see couples show up together sometimes too. I would love to see families show up at community lots, and I would love to be able to invite an entire family or at least certain members of it ( even if the sim doesn’t know all of them ), over to the house together. I want my toddlers to be able to meet each other at community lots, and at their own homes. I think this would be good to add to the base game.

I also want a costume category so my sims show up to costume parties and Geek Con in an outfit I picked out for them, I play rotationally, and my sims know each other

I would also love to see a new lot trait like simple living, but for clothing and accessories, so the person on that lot would have to open up that top, or that bottom, or that shoe, or that earring etc. Before they can use it. It would make playing a rags to riches more exciting, and give my sims a reason for buying clothing from a store. Of course we also need changing rooms, and clothing racks/jewelry counters/shoe racks etc. we can buy such things from.

Also I’m really wanting more Romantic features, online dating, blind dates, Romantic turn on’s and turn offs. Bear rug with romantic features, playing footsie in restaurants, a single sim calling and asking your single sim on a date ( not a rabbit hole), etc. some Romantic places to send sims. Being able to buy perfume ( scents ), boxed candy, blown glass necklaces and earrings etc. for your sims to give as romantic gifts. Can we give all collectibles as romantic gifts? If not, we should be able to.

Some of the things I would like to see in the new pack ( I know all won’t be included, but a few would be nice) are:

Apartments
Duplexes
Hotel/Motels
Bed and breakfast
Malls
Combined lots, such as retail, restaurant, gym etc.
Cars/motorcycles, mechanic job mechanic hobby
New collection (s)
Festivals similar to the City living ones
Zoo’s, amusement & water parks, lot type we can ……..make and at least some rides we can see ………our sims on
A Movie theatre lot we can make with a ticket …….booth,And concession stand with popcorn, ……..candy, Hot dogs, and Soda & changing
……..movie titles ( not a rabbit hole theatre )

More jobs, I loved the jobs with work places, but we should also be able to work from home with them too, or send them to work alone. I like that we can choose any of the 3. It would also be nice if we could take family leave from a job instead of having to quit it if we want our sims to stay home with the children. Also more part time jobs, and freelance jobs are always welcome.

Some single type items I would like to see are:

Pool table
Volleyball for multiple player
Being able to toss a baseball back and forth
between children through elder
Sewing machine that uses patterns for clothes,
……stuffed animals, rag dolls, throw pillows,
…….curtains, bed throws, sofa throws etc.
……. a color wheel for these patterns would be
…. .. great!
Single arcade games /arcade lot type
Exercise bike
Pool slide and regular diving board
Round pools
Blender and juicer
Orange tree
Lime tree
Corn plant
Wheat plant
Flour mill
Grocery produce bins you could put in retail.
Being able to buy prepped food
Newspapers with birth announcements, jobs, etc.
Magazines that help you add traits, or skills.
Trikes for toddlers
Push toys for toddlers
Skateboards for teens and children.
Surfing
More pets, snake, tarantula, lizard, birds, Ferret, etc.

A different type of world would be nice….. I would even love a jungle world sometime that sims can live in.

I like this idea, except I don't want to see infants at community lots. I'm not sure that Sims would be able to properly take care of their infants autonomously. Either that or I worry that's all they'll probably want to do and that they won't interact with the lot properly. In the past, whenever my Sim visited homes with newborns, my Sims always had to take care of them before they got taken away.

I fear that's a valid concern, @haneul .

I'm all for invite family to community lots the more options the better.

For patch obviously cars they should also overhaul neighborhoods to not be so boring. Make it so you see your neighbors outside working in their garden or the kids in the treehouse make neighborhoods less closed off they're small enough as is. Also add in game play through decorative lots in the neighborhoods like High School Years has a gas station outside the school it should have had some type of gameplay to it like teens could go get snacks after school. We need more open areas but that play more like community lots.

If the pack neighborly I want to see nothing but group activities and expanded neighborhood gameplay be it a baseball field in the world a skatepark a game of pool multiple Sims can play together no single Sim objects.

Great ideas, everyone! Thank you.

Just wanted to mention that I did not draw a line here between (possible) pack features and features we get alongside the pack as a free update. I was more focused on what I want then in how we'll get it. EA will normally only choose one free BG feature alongside a new pack and I'm not the one to dictate that decision.
