    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.

  • 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

    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.

  • I’m honestly not sure that this survey is real, the wording just seems a bit off suburban life and work on wheels aren’t really distinguished enough they just sound like fluff. With that being said I like are 

    Car life: it sounds like a good way to introduce cars into the game just include working on cars. I’m also tired of my sims taking 10 years to get off the lot especially when you have multiple sims. 

    community careers: dentist career is different I like that and fits so well with generations and kids loosing teeth and I would love if they added braces for teens. While I think salons probably should’ve come with business and hobbies even though it’s not a hobby. Unless  if they were going to revamp the hair system I think it would be fair to include it in another pack, the custom wig bit intrigued me. I don’t like that it sounds like 1/3 of get to work. Now if they expanded more on the system of careers like being able to create custom careers, that I would like. I want more boring careers but that wouldn’t sell well with a pack. And if they added career aptitude tests. Some more cross pack compatibility would be great with high school years. 

    van life: sounds interesting but no real interest in it I would much rather hotels. There are pieces I like in here like paddle boarding overall the theme doesn’t excite me. 

    ocean exploration: sounds interesting but no real interest some pieces I like but overall meh. 

    reality tv: no no no no no thank you. 

    1. Ocean Exploration- I want another ocean world with more beach lots like Sulani. I desperately want boats for 2+ sims.
    2. Community Careers-I love active careers. I would probably use the Dentist the most. 
    3. Car Life-liked that they mentioned kids and teens
    4. Van Life
    5. Work on Wheels
    6. Surburban Living
    7. Reality TV

    Not interesting in the last 4 especially Reality TV.

    KatterayuI agree, though I'm the inverse: I'll play pottery and not tattoo. I'm looking forward to the business ownership part of the gameplay and agree that the "hobbies" part feels limited for a new pack with "hobbies" in the title.

  • This is what I would rank them:

    1. Car Life
    2. Ocean Exploration
    3. Van Life
    4. Community Careers
    5. Suburban living
    6. Work on Wheels
    7. Reality TV

    Car Life - I would really like to see cars, car racing, mechanic career and pretty much all things cars…dealerships, drive in theatres, drive through fast food, gas stations, working on motor cycles too. In this I would like to see, Car ride on’s for toddlers, and midget racers for kids, as well as the collectibles.  Driving arcade games are a good addition.  teaching teens to drive, making out, woo hoo in cars,  Playing music and being able to wash your car…. Etc. ( I know some of these things are in Suburbsn living, but believe At least fast food drive throughs should be in this one. ) Car Life and Suburban living seem like a good pair.

    Ocean Exploration - I really want my sims to be able to make things with drift wood, and sea glass, 2 new hobbies/small businesses.  I also love the idea of houseboats, and being able to really see your sims scuba drive.  I also like the idea of finding art treasures underwater and repairing them.  I don’t really expect an open world, I don’t want the same problems that people say came with Island Paradise in the Sims 3.  I want more ocean lots too like in Sulani. Being a boat captain and catching lobsters and crabs are a good addition for my fisherman.,  And sight seeing tours also sound good!

    Van Life -  I like the idea of my sims being able to own a travel Van and  being able to go to new destinations., I love the idea of paddle-boarding and surfing ( I hope if we own other water packs we can at least paddle board there too, and that we can take our boat and jet ski’s, and floats to these new destination worlds too.  I have to say, I think that we should be able to own homes in these destination worlds too, even if a limited amount.

    Community Careers -  firefighters, Dentists, and Professional salons would be great active careers to work at, but please give us the opportunity to design our own.

    Suburban Living - This has a lot of similarities to Car Life, and I really like it because it gives the oppotunity to own a gas station, and go through fast food places.  It also offers fixing up cars, motorcycles and Trucks in the driveway, and teaching your teen about auto mechanics.  This would be a great addition to car life.  If sending our teens to work in part active careers the ones mentioned would be great, but can’t our teens already do the ones mentioned non active?

    Work on Wheels - This would great too, having some small businesses on wheels, smaller shops like cosmotology etc.

    Reality TV - this  one doesn’t much impress me.

    one thing I would like to see with all of these expansions is a new world with at least 12 lots we can make from scratch with new lot types.

    im assuming thst since these packs mention Cars/Trucks/Motorcycles, and Cosmotology ( salons )  quite a bit that maybe these are going to be basegame things that will be expanded on. Good idea.

    i really hope cars come sooner than later….

    i do like the idea of the shady dealing in many of the packs.  It gives my criminals an opportunity to practice some shady things. At least one of these worlds should have a neighborhood with some dirty, old, back alley streets for playable criminals ( and playable vampires and werewolves ).

  • my rankings

    1: Ocean Exploration
    2: Reality TV
    3: Car Life
    4: Van Life
    5: Community Careers
    6: Work On Wheels
    7: Suburban Living

    the last 2 was almost a tie but Suburban Living sounds very boring for my taste based on the descriptions

    but i love a more dramatic and chaotic pack for the "Reality TV" unpopular opinion but i'm more in for a more dramatic and chaotic gameplay, we need more of these in my opinion (Reality TV is the second least wanted but i want this pack so badly because it adds more gameplay to me)

    nothing can beat Ocean Exploration, we need an open water world and a new lot which is never done before like maybe living in a boat or a boat house or something, i'd like to have these in game even if it's only limited to this pack idea, i don't care if it's limited to this certain world i want it either way, it mentions aquarium venue and i'm in for a new venue type, more sea options, i need them in the game

    i'm not interested with the cars itself but the way how it describes i rank "Car Life" quite high on the list because it mentions children and teenagers, we need lots more options for these 2 categories, it mentioned "after school" activities and theatre, i'm definitely in...a DRIVING school...invite me in

    i like the "Van Life" idea, maybe we can have a car lot home (similair to boat home but differently) even if they aren't functional to drive in, i'd love to have something even if you don't have a home but still have something to sleep in (i don't care for rabbit-holes because they were there in The Sims 2 but since some roads are rather seperated in The Sims 4 compared to The Sims 2 i wonder how it's gonna work like that traveling to other enviroments) i do have to admit it sounds more like a Game Pack to me though, i love this idea but more of like as a Game Pack

    i quite like community careers, we need more of the active careers, i kind of had 1 in mind which i was hoping it was gonna be in this upcoming pack but maybe it can be in this pack an updated version from this pack idea | EA Forums - 11878992 if not for the community space or a completely new venue maybe as a active career? just a thought though but i'll probably use the dentist the most though

    Work On Wheels, i think it should be in a "Car Life" pack idea, i do love the more dramatic gameplay ideas though, i guess that's all i have to say, so i can't blame them for having the LEAST vote out of the 7 pack ideas, it's on my second least vote but again it was almost tied with the Suburban Living idea

    these are all my opinions, i respect other opinions👍
