April 2020 Survey

I definitely voted for highest on my list of places was South Africa, story progression, heists, mall, high school and surely didn't care about the fan clubs, cheer leading, babies and romance. I want something more in depth and different as to game play.

This was so hard, but really encouraging for the future. I felt the same about the last survey. I am greedy and want almost everything, but I would especially love to see babies, toddlers, emotions/traits, life issues, consequences and romance/relationships developed further. Story progression would make the world around my sims feel more alive too, but I am a bit of a control freak so I hope it would be optional and adjustable. I also may have gasped when I saw Scottish Highlands as an option. I am part Scottish and it would be so lovely to finally have a world that feels more like home.

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.

As much as I want story progression I would also like toggles to be able to turn it off and not just for story progression but for occults, too. I like that we had more toggles in the Sims 3.

Voted low on: Fan club (GF), Shopping malls(GTW), Heists(JA)and Culinary Quest(DO). I personally think its too late to add these features and they should have been added to the other packs (as you can see above).
Voted high on: Growing pains, Bands, Story progression, Modern Love and American Highschool.

Emotions dead last.

Definitely want official story progression. Id also love a shopping mall, I’m in the minority that actually likes going shopping for things. Also having better emotions and making relationships actually matter would be nice. I hope we get some ruder interactions, like when I kick a sim out they get upset instead of acting like it was their choice to leave ??

*notices survey option that plans to add in Story progression*
OH F.... I mean PLUMS!
*Votes story progression*
This game needs it BADLY!

Oh and life issues because it adds more !!!FUN!!! to the drama train.

I want every trait feature and long and short term goals. I hate that people want story progression so badly because I despised it in Sims 3. I want to control what happens in my game because I tell the stories!!

Really? I saw it as an opportunity to finally have a Fear emotion in the game and to get some rebalancing by changing the excessive Happy buffs and possibly getting a default of Fine instead of Happy. The emotion system needs a huge overhaul.

I can't wait for the future content. :D
