Anybody else a fan of the idea of a Sims Medieval game that plays like a regular sims game, where you can play as any sim you want and just live out their life, but of course this would take place in ...

The point of Medieval and Castaway is that they are linear and have an end point, goals to accomplish.
IMO, worlds placed in another time, like medieval times or a castaway scenario won't work for several reasons.
1. They would require new everything from clothes to build/buy to no electronics of any kind. That's a lot of reworking of objects.
2. There could be no walk-bys from other neighborhoods. Imagine seeing Nancy Landgrabb strolling by your castle.
3. You couldn't (or shouldn't) be able to travel to modern worlds.
4. Into The Future was different in that it was a future, tech filled version of the worlds we live in now.
All these things have been done in those stand alone games. I don't want a rehash of those games. I can play those games anytime and you don't have to follow the scenario. You can play your own game anytime. I waited until all the buildings and discoveries were done, just to have full access to them.
We are getting smaller (but better) versions of past Sims games so I don't see them adding in a huge pack for adding a stand alone Medieval world of Castaway island.
Hopefully, at some point, there will be an off the grid pack which will give you many of the fun features from Castaway. As for Medieval, I already build several castles that I place in the gallery. More build/buy and period clothing would help create a Medieval world. I could see Windenburg Island as either a Medieval or Castaway vacation spot for my sims.
Perhaps you don't want to see something like that really, truly fleshed out, but I don't think I'm alone in the idea. I don't expect EA to ever even try to make something like this, it's just an idea that I thought would be fun to talk and fantasize about with others. I often think about lots of different kinds of video games I would enjoy playing, and I know I'm not the only one. I just wanted to kick around some ideas is all.
It's probably just me not understanding again. If this is just a fantasy discussion, I would think it belongs in General Discussion section, not the Ideas Corner, which I always thought was for actual ideas people want, not fantasy discussions. My bad.
I would love a sims game for every genre of time or space, Medieval, Western, Caveman, Victorian, Space Station, Mars Colony, any of those and several others. But S4 is obviously very limited and pared down compared to past versions. Pets vs Cats and Dogs, World Adventure vs Jungle Adventure just to name two. So I don't see them recreating a stand alone game like Medieval or Castaway for this version. I'd love it if they did, but I don't see it happening. We could get elements that would allow us to play those in a way. I build a lot of castles (building a new one right now) and add sims dressed in clothes as close to Medieval as I can find in Buy mode. It's limited, but it sort of works. If we get an Off The Grid pack, I can create a Gilligan's Island type of save with sims living on Windenburg Island off the grid.
Until this shakeup is over, we won't know what direction they are going to go in the future.
It is certainly an idea I would like to see someday, but I don't have high hopes for, is more what I meant about it being a discussion of a fantasy. I really don't see this happening, but I think it could be a kewl idea. And I do like your other genre ideas. Western and Space Station being my particular favorite.
