Things I'd love to see in The Sims in the next few years:
Pre-teens
- Shorter than teens, taller than children with unique body frames,
- Age-appropriate accessories (e.g., braces, glasses, trendy outfits)
- Hygiene routines (e.g., deodorant, skincare) with buffs/moodlets
- Subtle puberty features like acne, voice cracks, or mood swings, Innocent romance (“Have a Crush,” “Hold Hands”) with other preteens
- Behavioral phases like “Rebellious Streak” or “Hobby Obsession.”
African Inspired World(s)
- Vibrant, diverse neighborhoods inspired by cities like Lagos, Nairobi, or Cape Town
- Community interactions like storytelling, bartering at markets, or participating in local ceremonies
- New hairstyles such as Bantu knots, braids, or locs
- Beadwork or weaving skills to craft jewelry, clothing, or decor, sellable at markets
Beach Volleyball + Regular Volleyball
Extreme Weather Events (Seasons addon?)
- Tornadoes, sandstorms, or floods that temporarily alter lots - damaged furniture, power outages.
- Sims could prepare with emergency kits or rebuild for rewards
Fairies
- Become fairies via rituals or birth; customizable wings and auras
- Fairy Dust skill tree: grow plants, charm Sims, or shrink to pixie size
- Seelie (light) vs. Unseelie (dark) courts with unique abilities, relationships
- Dance of the Fae skill for magic and charisma; group dances at festival
- Outfits with petal skirts, vine crowns; mushroom tables, whimsical earthy decor, fairy lanterns, etc
Child/Teen Summer Camp
- A new world (based off of Lake Ozark in Missouri USA) with a lush forest, lake, and campgrounds, featuring cabins, mess halls, and activity areas like archery ranges or campfires
- Kids choose roles like “Prankster,” “Nature Nerd,” or “Team Captain,” affecting interactions (ex; pranksters set up whoopee cushions). Teens can be counselors, cooks, lifeguards, etc
- Activities like canoe racing, capture-the-flag, or tug-of-war; Teens could coach younger Sims, boosting leadership

I like the idea of a summer camp for kids and teens👍

It was a pack idea mentioned in the Sept 2024 survey! I don't know if it was super popular though because it wasn't mentioned on the 2025 survey :( Still, I'm hoping the team will make a pack like it after the highly requested cars/bands/fairies/hotels etc because we are in desperate need of things for the kid sims!

i didnt know it had already been in a survey. but i do agree kids ( and teens ) need more things they can do without an adult tagging along all the time. an away from home summer camp is great

Nightmare...those kids ate toothpaste at night after lights out(packed by dad).
They where craveing candy and sugar that was not allowed on the camp site.
Sneaky little children...too bad you don't get fruit flavored toothpaste. 🙂🙃🙂
These little summer campers got rackets flowing through the whole summer camp system...👀
