What's your Sims 4 holiday wishlist?!

What are some things you want to see in the Sims 4? Whether it be interactions, objects, worlds, tweaks or packs feel free to share! Here's my wishlist to start it off in no particular order:

⦁ Plant sims as a permanent life state again!
⦁ Gambling objects: poker table (I know we have the cards table, but you can't bet and there are no chips or anything on the table!), Blackjack, slot machines, roulette, etc.
⦁ Pool table.
⦁ A masquerade-style party event.
⦁ Cars, helicopters, carpools, driveable UFO 👽?, and motorcycles. 
⦁  Tweaking to the wants/whims. (It has been a while since I have played, but recently playing it feels like all I get is "listen to stereo music" and I just feel like the Sims 2 and 3 wants were more interesting/varied. Maybe having the algorithm not suggest a want for some time after doing or rejecting it would work. Or an option to disable certain wants/fears in general)
⦁ Tweaks to autonomous cleaning. (I don't like how my sims auto-clean even when they don't have the neat trait cause then it takes time, and I feel it lessens the impact of being able to hire a maid/butler)
⦁ Having to make beds again! I just thought it was a neat little feature. 
⦁ Air hockey table. (It's my favorite arcade game, and I just miss is since Sims Bustin' out heh c': ) 
⦁  Elevators with animations free for use like Sims 2 & 3 had. (I was so disappointed when I finally got City Life and they weren't useable because they're my favorite thing to build with!) 
⦁ Alien pets cats/dogs/horses ( I just want to recreate GnarpGnarp the alien cat meme lol) 
⦁ Hotels to visit and run. (Maybe functional elevators could come in a pack with it!)
⦁ Bands. (Rock bands would be what I would most love, but other types of genres would be so cool too!)
⦁ More stained glass windows (I remember for Sims Bustin' Out I always loved the red/purple stained glass window. I love the look of them irl too, and it would be cool to see traditional and non-conventional designs using stained glass) 
⦁ More arcade stuff: Claw machine, pinball tables, single-tile arcade cabinets, fortune teller, etc.
⦁ More varied workout stuff: pull-up bar, row machine, barbells, dumbbells, leg press, exercise bike, squat rack, elliptical, Stairmaster, weighted exercise balls, weight vests etc. 
⦁ Supernaturals: Dragons, zombies, mummies, and genies oh my. 
⦁ Exotic pets: I always wanted the little monkey in Sims 1 Pets lol. Having bears, tigers, hyenas, etc. could be good chaotic/deadly fun. 
⦁ Carnival/amusement park stuff. 

Thank you Sims Team for all the hard work you put in, and the Sims community for staying active and being kind. ♥️I've been having a lot of fun playing Sims 4 again, and I hope you all have a lovely holiday or year if you don't celebrate!

    Quite a list with loads of good ideas. 

    My personal wishlist 

    • pet dragons
    • Hotels we can own and/or visit (no rabbit hole) 
    • Fairies
    • Permanent plantsims
    • Time travel into the distant future, if possible a bright and shiny future, not an apocalypse.

    An expansion pack that centered around Caribbean cultures if it's either hotels/resorts or ocean-themed. Most likely hotels, because Island Living EP recently focuses on island life and Hawaiian cultures since June 2019 (too bad they didn't celebrate National Caribbean-American Heritage Month). If they do announce hotels/resorts for The Sims 4, the time will come to get my wishlist completed if reggae station will be mentioned by the team after I beginning to manifest it since July 20th, 2023 after R&B station finally came to The Sims 4 back in June 2023.

    A new world with a way to create lot sizes that I choose. I'd choose mostly small lots with dozens of tiny homes. 

  • Hmmm... fun thought! A few that come to mind for me...

    • I would love to have elevators, ramps, and wheelchairs added to base game with elevators serving a functionality like the do now in City Living (they can be a black hole), but that are reasonably user-friendly to add if you have multiple floors (requiring only the two tile space in front of them.  This could open the door for workaround play tweaks where you could assign a wheelchair to a sim, and you could provide elevators in your builds. Or you could just provide an elevator for convenience if it fits the build you're making. I would like if they can be added to a build in conjunction with stairs, so using the elevator is just an option if both options are there.
    • Diving boards and pool slides in basegame.
    • Pool. My sims were always obsessed with it in the past! They miss it. I tink they circulated a petition. 🤔
    • I would love to have a good option for filthy-rich sims to have more serious benevolent options... even places you can donate a million or any amount to... and options to gift any amount to another sim. Perhaps there could be some 'fame' reward for it when it's a donation? I've had families where I was literally trying to figure out how to get rid of a ginormous amount of money they didn't need (I don't really care for building them an elaborate mansion just because they could afford it... that's not the way I play most of the time.) I've had times I gave up and just let it stop at 999,999. It seems like a waste of some fun options of how to use the money benevolently. 
    • I just 'manually' made a meditative 'Zen garden', but I wished that there was a say to make one that was more interactive to sim animations. Maybe the ability to create paths for them to walk like with a 'Prayer Labyrinth' using the raked stone tiles? I used them the garden I made, and even added path tiles, but nothing in the animations make that more than a concept. (The only way mine functionally use it is via the meditation stool I added.).My sims will definitely not walk the path.
    • I agree... many players would like fairies. I'd be thrilled if there were garden fairies you could add add that added some type of vibe or function.
    • It would be fun to have a garden gnome (and maybe other gnome types) that included some type of function. Maybe you would need to have a certain level of friendship for it to come to life and help, like with patchy... maybe using an animation like with the golden chickens, which is awesome? Maybe another type that would help with floor cleaning in the home like the 'roomba' does, etc. That could be super cute. I expect some players may even want an option for one that can cause a bit of mischief/chaos in some scenarios?
    • Spiral staircases. I would be over the moon for that option, as would many others!
    • A few more large lots to build on.
    • More open/buildable lots in all worlds.
