[Survey] Player to Player—where are we at?

What gameplay themes are your priority 1-10 (1 being priority and 10 being lowest or no priority)?

1. Modern and better than reality life (vacation/travel, business/career based, extreme activities and luxury lifestyles)
2. Modern with fantasy elements (occults in the modern world like Harry Potter, vampire/werewolf pop culture books/tv/movies, etc.)
3. Modern with minor fantasy elements (not really occults, more like wishing wells, kissing frogs, etc.)
4. Modern and regular everyday life (more family, children and modern/regular activities/lifestyles)
5. Era and regular everyday to better than reality life (Victorian, Bridgeton inspired, Medieval, etc.)
6. Era with minor fantasy elements
7. Future with no alien elements
8. Era with fantasy elements (steampunk, dragons, etc.)
9. Future with minimal alien/fantasy elements (like some "Into the Future" aspects)
10. Future with alien/fantasy elements (Utopia ideal technology, Dystopia survival, space travel/living, etc.)

What life stages are your priority?

1. Young Adult & Adult
2. Toddlers & Children (personality develops)
3. Teens & Elders (both in limbo, sometimes cranky and waiting for the transition) 

Elders help with parenting and pass on their skills.  I'd like to play an elder or elder couple that goes around the worlds living their best life.  Don't know why I haven't done that yet.
I've had good and bad teen experiences. I had a teen that formed a grudge with a parent and it wrecked the whole family.  They never recovered.  Hated it.   

What life states are your priority?

1. Spellcasters
2. Humans / Vampires
3. Mermaids
4. Fairies
5. Ghosts
6. Werewolves (untried)

I added werewolves about 6 months ago and toggled to keep them in their world.  I like playing occult sims.  But, I can't get into the werewolf form looking like a costume and cartoonish.  The game gave us options to make the vampires look intimidating or ghoulish. It's great!  I'd like to see more variety, snout, teeth, danger for werewolves.  

I've used ghosts as nannies or to boost the family income. The afterlife is sort of boring.  I tried having a ghost take revenge but they didn't really enjoy being mean.  lol  I had 2 ghosts find love and get married - they had the same relationship problems as the living.  meh.

What is your biggest beef with Sims 4 at the moment?

Bugs!!  Buy a pack, excited about it then the new items don't work.  Make a bug report and wait months for a fix.   
Or loading a new pack and all your relationships fall apart because it didn't integrate well.  
Or your sims wife is now their Sister.  Or the married Thruple is now NOT married at all!!      
EA Updates & "Optimizations" that cause problems, like photos turning black, paintings white.  It makes players furious and makes EA look unprofessional.  If mod creators can respond to known issues, why can't EA??      

What is your biggest draw to Sims 4 at the moment?

Nostalgia and Escapism.  Nostalgia because I played it with my daughter when it started.  It is familiar.  Escape from real life seriousness for a little while to be creative - building or story.  I like playing a family for generations.  I keep a list of gameplay ideas and there are many parts of the game that I still want to explore.  I love the game and want it to continue. I want it to function.
