There's honestly so much more that Maxis could release for TS4. Since it's obvious we're receiving 1 EP per year, 2 GPs per year, and 4 to 5 SPs per year... the possibilities are endless.
My wants:
Finding Love GP- the ability to have bachelor and bachelorette parties with a nostalgic NPC returning- the Cake Dancer. A matchmaker dating app included. The Chemistry System is brought back with Turn On's/Off's, Fears & Desires, Likes & Dislikes, Astrology and maybe even a Compatibility Score on the dating app so our sims can meet their perfect match. Weddings should be more elaborate with wedding reception being classified as a party after the wedding, with gameplay activities like toasting the newlyweds, slicing the cake, Father-Daughter Dance and reintroducing slow dancing. A honeymoon destination like a B&B (Bed & Breakfast) would also be ideal for a Finding Love pack. A new skill- Romance. And new woohoo spot- Shower; Cuddling should also be added for the bed and sofa. And one last thing... Anniversaries should definitely be added to the pack.
Family Life EP- combining themes from TS3 Generations & TS2 Family Fun. A new Family Tree system expanding on families with in-laws, step-parents/children, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, as well as cousins. Maybe even tracing roots down to historical figures that made Sim history. A new app sims can use to trace their ancestry could be Roots (the sim version of Ancestry.com). A new Family Trait such as Reserved, Blue Collar, Rebellious and Eclectic which would make for great story-telling when families come together at Family Reunions. Sims also celebrated events such as baby showers, birthdays, and even gathered for funerals. New NPCs could include Imaginary Friend for toddlers, Burglars, and Police Officer. Scrapbooking could be a new hobby, along with a new painting type- Family Portrait. Body Hair made a comeback, as well as walking canes for elders.
Makin' Music SP- sims can finally start a garage band, land gigs at bars and get discovered at Battle of the Bands competitions. If our sims are discovered they land a label deal and can start recording music by performing in a group or going solo becoming a pop star. New musical instruments are added like base guitar and drumset. A new Band system is added to the game where we can select anywhere between 4 to 6 members in the band- a guitarist, bass guitarist, drummer, keyboard, background singer and main vocalist. Our sims can write their own music, tour different worlds, and build up a fan base where your sim has groupies and can sign autographs.
Weather EP- our sims can experience the raw-power of Mother Nature with severe weather. With each season comes severe weather patterns. Sims can upgrade build mode objects for better chances of riding out the storm and after the storm has passed help rebuild the neighborhood. Sims can live off the grid by incorporate Green Energy into their everyday living such as Solar Panels for electricity and collecting rain water for bathing. Sims can keep cool in the humid summer months with A/C, and ceiling fans, and keep warm during the frigid winter months with their furnace, portable heater, or fireplace. Other gameplay opportunities such as farming at a community garden with new harvestables like corn and wheat, or stroll over to the community barnyard to milk cows, gather eggs, or adopt a pet pig, or head to the stable for horseback riding. Other gameplay objects included- canning station, nectary station, butter churn, and grinding stone. Severe weather elements included sandstorm, meteor shower, severe thunderstorm, flooding, blizzards, and typhoon/cyclone. New active career- Meteorologist; new skills- Farming & Building; new TV Station- Weather along with Weather Alert app and Weather Trait System to spend points on upgrading build mode objects to ride out the storms.
Ambitions GP- a pack introducing new active careers like Stylist, Designer, Model, Mayor and Ghost Hunter. Stylists can style NPC sims with new hair, makeup, accessories, and new clothing for simoleons, or become a tattoo artist and give our sims new body art and facial piercings. As a designer, our sims can create blueprints or be an interior designer decorating residential lots and community venues. As a model, our sims can tour the world as a high-fashion model or design collections to take to Fashion Week's catwalk show. Our sim can run for Mayor and eventually govern the way our sims live their lives and the worlds they live in. Or go on the hunt for the paranormal or become the Haunter by scaring sims out of their homes and causing mayhem and mischief.
