April 2020 Survey

This was a great survey and a lot of these features should enter the game (hopefully it will decrease my usage of mods, but I doubt it ;) )
Here are the things I think are great for me personally.

• Story progression could be excellent if you could turn it off and customize it for played/unplayed sims. Choose what is part of the story progression in general for played and unplayed sims or turn of individual features for individual families or sims.
  
• Growing up and life pains sounds great because it would add more depth and hopefully difficulty to the sims life. I currently use the slice of life mod by kawaiistacie and it is GREAT, and with the sims team resources this could be amazing, especially if they focus on all life stages.
  
• Modern love and romance could be good if they add chemistry and realistic romance (i.e. not everyone falls in love with everyone easily). Dating could be improved and made more fun like in the sims 2, with good/bad dates.
  
• Bands are also a good idea. I miss the chance for sims to play music together. This could be extra well with the singing from city living. Hopefully kids could also play music together even if they don't get all the band functions. Also would be a great time to unlock the ability for children to play guitar, as they can do so in real life.
  
• Out of the worlds I think the coolest would be Scottish Highlands (very unique and cool), Spanish City, Italian vineyards (could be pretty)
  
• Emotions are a great idea to focus on. I love Roburky's life stories mod, but the sims team could do a great job making emotions feel different and actually change how sims behavior and autonomous behavior. They could start by toning down the idle chat so angry sims actually perform mean interactions on others more likely instead of just chatting.
  
• short and long term desire could be great and make the useless whims have more meaning. They could completely rework the whims into a sims 2 wants and fears system for short term desires, and long term desire could be things that sims want in the long run. It would be great if sims occasionally thought about their long term desires, or got various buffs based on them whether they were making progress or not.
  
• Finally developing traits over time would be great. It would add a lot of meaning to how you play the game
