📝 EP Survey 2025

Those bundles suck for those who already have Get to Work, Get Famous and Island Living, though. The bundles they do these days often are things they pick to put together, and those are never good for me since I already bought and own a portion of the bundle.

Every single one of these ideas sound like they should have been included in an already existing (or soon to be released) pack. It's EA cash grabbing at it's finest

I agree about Van Life. It could be a stand alone EP along with introducing a new vacation destination in game. I like the idea.

I really hate to say this about the survey. I had a very hard time choosing. I love all the expansion packs.

Here are my ideas of what I would like to see as a Expansion pack or Game Packs: 

Van life:  should be stand alone pack and they have to including camping, ferry rides 

Suburban Living:  Game Pack.

Below these should be a 2-Bundle Pack:

Community Careers by adding Get to Work Bundle

Getting Famous Expansion and Reality TV 2 pack bundle

Ocean Exploration and Island Life 2 pack bundle

Work On Wheels and Car Life

(1) Ocean Exploration... yes, please!!! If they actually include all or at least most of the ideas suggested here (houseboats and non-rabbithole diving are mandatory IMO, at a minimum), then I can even get onboard with it being a new EP rather than a refresh to Island Living. HOWEVER, in that scenario they really should make every sincere effort to add cross-pack compatibility with at least one true diving spot in Sulani, even if they don't retcon the whole world. That being said, I want this pack so badly that I don't necessarily want to hold it up just to try to make that work. So, I would probably be satisfied with a promise upon release that they are actively working on refreshing Sulani for cross-pack compability. In any case, this is hands-down my top choice for this group (with Car Life in second place if they do it right.)

(2) Community Careers: meh. This seems like a GP to me, not an EP, unless there's much more that comes with it than what's mentioned here. Even then, it would probably be an "eventual buy, maybe" for me than a must-buy. More because of game performance rather than the money. But, I know a lot of people would want this, and if we're getting years more content to come, then fine.

(3) Car Life: I've wanted this for years. But I will tell you this: if they leave out the ability to work on cars at home from this pack, and shove it into an unrelated Suburban Life pack, especially if cars are not made base game, I will be PISSED.

(4) Work on Wheels: I don't hate it, but I'm not particularly interested at all.

(5) Reality TV: this one I do actively hate. Sure, I can just not buy it, but with my luck there will be some small feature I've been requesting for ten years that they lock behind an EP I loathe. 

(6)Suburban Life: The overall concept sounds boring to me, but I again I fear they will shove a few small features I badly want into a larger theme that doesn't interest me at all. 

(7) Van Life: When I saw this in that older survey, I was surprised, because it was not a concept that had ever occurred to me, but it actually sounds really interesting. I still feel that way.

I really don't want cars to be in an expansion pack and I think a pack that revolves around cars wouldn't have much apart from a racing career and a way to sell cars which really doesn't appeal to me at all.

A lot of this could just be one expansion though. Cars where only a small part of Sims 2's nightlife expansion. 

I swear, if Ocean Exploration don't have enough votes, I'm gonna end up having a confession to make for everybody in The Sims community. Because there's no way that Imma be the type of simmer who can't live without Black/African/Caribbean cultures

I didn't really have a strong hate or love relationship with the business and hobbies pack, I'm more so reacting on the lack of actual hobbies. I like the idea of the tattoos (which is honestly what I'm most excited about lmao) and being able to create your own little hybrid business and to be able to live on the same lot as your business, but this pack relies so much on other packs when it comes to the business aspect and it is very misleading with it's title.

So as you, I do hope that they start to really make their packs more well-rounded and more unique to stand out from the rest.

Since they are not making a Sims 5, they've got to rake in the money somehow. It wouldn't surprise me if we see a lot of packs in the future that seem like they should be refreshes or "already used" concepts. Lots of players are beginning to see B&H more favorably and not so much as Get to Work refresh material or rehash upon learning more about how the business system works. So, one can only hope these concepts are well considered and fleshed out enough to stand on their own and not be, "This should have been added to [previous pack]" or "This should have been a free update".
