For what it's worth I've been a simmer since The Sims 1 first came out and I really do love the franchise.
I seem to be in the minority since I don't care at all for open worlds, bigger lots, CAST, toddlers, create-a-world, family trees, story progression, etc.
What's important for me is to be able to play the game without lag, and be able to delete sims/edit stuff without breaking the game. If they do add family trees/memories/similar stuff I hope we can still be able to delete sims in-game without screwing things up.
Now that that's out of the way...
STUFF I WOULD LIKE THAT WILL PROBABLY BE IMPLEMENTED IN UPCOMING EPS ANYWAY
- Weather/Seasons
- Animals
- More careers (especially "normal" ones likes education, military, law enforcement, medical, science, etc.)
- More neighborhoods
- More variety in community lots (bowling alleys, diners, a pool table, spa, etc.)
STUFF I WOULD LIKE THAT IS NOT A GIVEN
- Lockable bathroom doors. The amount of times that sims walk in on each other and everyone being embarassed all day is just ridiculous.
- Tone down the emotions. It creates frustrating gameplay with the constant jingles and sounds of them being uncomfortable about the less-than-perfect quality of the hamburger they just ate and being really uncomfortable about the boombox that JUST broke two seconds ago. Give us at least a chance to fix things instead of dealing with these never-ending drama queen mood swings.
- Being able to assign rooms/beds/objects to certain sims. In Sims 2 I used to use the OFB door options to control this. I don't want the son sleeping in the parents double bed, and I don't want dad playing on his daughter's computer when he has his own office.
- Sims leave too many dishes and books and garbage all over the place. And whine about it. Once in a blue moon they autonomously clean up, but it's really not enough. Even the neat and perfectionist sims leave their trash everywhere and then cry about it. I spend 50% of my gameplay directing them to wash dishes, mop and clean trash piles.
- Stuff breaks way too often. I fix about two appliances per day, that's too much time spent on boring stuff.
- SLOW DOWN RELATIONSHIP DECAY. It decays unrealistically fast. Within like a sim week I need to re-introduce myself to my neighbor and friend three times because they forget they ever knew each other if they don't spend time together every day. Come on.
- Facial and navel piercings. Since we have tattoos, these would be nice too. I like making diverse sims.
