I voted high for shopping malls (I've been wanting them forever), culinary quest, bands, Brazilian Beach Town (because Brazil is my country and we've never had any Brazilian inspired world in The Sims before), Greek Islands, Italian Vineyards, and body hair. I also voted for more CAS accessories, tattoos and hairstyles.

It would be nice if they add Samba too if they do a Brazilian beach town.

Some fantastic questions, I really hope they decide to add some of them into the game. I’d love a Korean-style City and more gameplay for certain life stages would be a dream!

I could be wrong, but I think San Myshuno is going to be it for an asian city :|

I hope not. I would appreciate if we can have the real aesthetic & culture of Asian world. Be it Korean, Japanese, Chinese to name a few.

Yes, and some Brazilian dishes too such as rice with beans, coxinha, brigadeiro, churrasco (I would say feijoada too, but they already added it in Jungle Adventure).

This new survey is quite interesting, although, it seems like they forgot to add the teen life stage on Q.8 & Q9. I'm pleased that they're now focusing on enriching the current gameplays & features.

On the side note, I hope that they could update us on the previous survey results too. What are their next plan based on the results? What will happen next? Please don't give us another survey but do give us the outcome or at least an update.

I apologize to all the Europeans, but the closer the setting was to "Standard Western European" in my mind, the further down on the list it went for me.

I also put babies down with adults and young adults (I hope that's actually young adults and not supposed to be Teens, because that would change my answers) when it comes to gameplay. Yes, I'd like some more gameplay for babies, but I'd rather have more for Children and Toddlers first.

The only reason I didn't vote Body Hair is because while I want the option for other people, I personally will never use it.

And I was high on the NPC progression and family development outside the household. Yes, I have MCCC for that, but I'd like to rely on mods a bit less than I do.

I voted high for Growing Pains, Modern Love, American High School, and NPC Story Progression. I also voted high for (1)babies, (2)children, and (3)elders getting more features. With young adults and adults being last. I wish their was a Hobbies pack on the list.

"Cheerleading" was literally the most disappointing suggestion on there. No mention of performance arts but sure, let's add in cheerleading.

Gag.

I ranked story progression super high, along with a Swiss mountain world and the Scottish highlands.

For CAS I chose kids and toddlers to have new stuff. I chose dual eye colors and body hair for the new additions.

I liked the questions about worlds hopefully we will get something different. I am annoyed they didn’t include teens in the life stage questions as I feel them and children need more to do in the game. Teens would have been number 1 for me if they were included in the list.

Don’t apologize, to each their own. I’m from France and the number one world idea I chose was Chinese countryside.

i’d Like Italian vineyards too though. Or Greece. But in my mind, the Sims is set in the USA.

Unpopular opinion, but keep Story Progression out of my game! This isn't a case of don't like - don't buy anymore, nothing additional that I can safely ignore, but a change in the game's core, in a product I have paid for in good faith. (Yes, I'm aware that the terms of use warn us that EA can change their product anytime. Doesn't change the fact that I'd be word-starting-with-p if they really took it to that extreme.)

Me too, this would be my worst nightmare. I like just going into World Manager and being able to have the couples that I want have babies when I want them to, add and expand their families as I see fit. I don't want to go into World Manager and see 2 sims that have no business being married to each other, suddenly married with two kids. If I want my Sim to marry Sim X and I don't want to rush it, I don't want to suddenly see Sim X in a relationship with some other frickin' sim. These are all annoying things that happened to me with that demon story progression. Bad enough that when Sims come pregnant to the hospital, sometimes they're pregnant by my sims who are in happy relationships when I go look at the family tree. Thanks, I hate it.

If they add things like this, I hope they also make some additions to Game Options so that I can shut that off.
Edit: Or at least modify it - like can I mark families or Sims that I don't want to be modified this way? That'd be great.
