if they add zombies in ts4 it should be possible to toggle them off when unwanted

I think we're well past due for having toggles for all occults. I like having them, but if someone wants to play a game with only humans and aliens, or no occults at all, or whatever, they should be able to do that.

I can't imagine playing the Sims with only human sims, human sims literally add 0 gameplay unlike occults, seeing as the Lack of Gameplay is the Sims 4's biggest complain,

Personally, I play with all occults, but that's no reason not to have toggles to allow or disallow them. If nothing else, being able to toggle them all off might get some very vocally anti-occult players to calm down when a new occult pack is released.

I'd like to get a resort/hotel pack with a new beachy world.

I honestly don't really like the aesthetic of Sulani, I like the water and the sunset, but I'm not a fan of the big brown rocks in the background, nor the aesthetic of the builds. I prefer a world with hotels and resorts, with bungalows you can rent, a hotel you can own.
You can have fancy luxurious resorts and cheap ones, they could be on an island or maybe a part of a city with apartments so you can sit by a big window on a high level floor watching the beach, or sitting on a rooftop. Maybe we can build on a ship or a yacht.

I'd also like to see pools in this world, so it's a good opportunity to add:

-curved pools
-pool platforms
-pool activities like waterguns, beach balls, frizbee..
-surfing

I'd also like to see:

-pool slides
-floating rings
-pool bar (also round bars would be cool)
-beach parasols, they can be colorful or made with dried palm leaves
-hammock
-A lifeguard with their tall chair
-pool bridges
-new tropical outdoor and indoor plants
-rattan furniture
-swing sofas
-floating fireplace

in addition to hotels items:

-hotel trolleys
-bed tables
-laundry cart
-hostess

Exactly, and occult lovers like us wouldn't have to deal with their favourite occults being nerfed beyond recognition just because other players whined about them. Toggles and options are the key to happiness: Don't like a feature? Just switch it off! Fortunately, the game has gotten better in this regard lately, allowing us to disable features like NAPs, lifestyles, and werewolves running around in wolf form outside of Moonwood Mill. I assume Horse Ranch might come with a similar toggle to disable random horses outside of Chestnut Ridge. Now if they could also get those toggles to work properly, that would be even more awesome. Because my chickens and cows are still ageing and dying even though I turned that off in the settings.

As for what the next big pack could possibly be... No idea. I don't think fairies will come in their own separate EP, but I also didn't think horses would, so who knows. I'm trying to build a casino in Del Sol Valley and would appreciate gambling machines, but that's not very child-friendly and therefore unlikely. So I'll just wait and see...

I saw a twitter post from Sims account in reply to a question from Henford Hen, can't link because twitter is having a tantrum, and they basically hinted that the next things to release for TS4 are fairies, horses, and cars. We now we are getting horses because they officially confirmed them. So, maybe next year we are going to get fairies and cars.

full on expansion pack? Hotels is what I want most. But I think it's possible it'll be something like Hobbies instead, which is still a good theme. I just want Hotels more.

Fairies, please let it be Fairies!

I'm not saying I'm into these supernatural things, but if they come at all costs, then I beg you just without the zombies.. I hated them.

Only the Sims 3 Zombies suck, which caused irreparable damage to their reputation when the team turned them into vegetarians, real zombies like the ones in Sims 2 University Life are meat eaters, the garden eating Zombies of Sims 3 were a way to promote Plants vs Zombies which backfired badly on the Sims, since now nobody likes Zombie Sims anymore.

Exactly this. All of the occults in ts4 are done differently. Well thought out and made where you can avoid them if you wanted. I don't see why people think ts4 zombies would be an exact copy of ts3 and eat all your plants lol. There are so many more interesting takes on zombies.
Trauma I guess ??

I'm expecting the next game pack to be Faries since cars should come with a patch.

I'm wishing for bands or romance nightlife type expansion that can work well with a cars patch with dating activities.
