April 2020 Survey

@Gordy I had the same thoughts about the Chinese countryside it seems so awkward and weird when china has so many more amazing locations. I pictured a more open brittleton bay with a chinese style fx background and chose it last ???

I used to live and work in China, and the Chinese countryside is like a different world. It's beautiful, but a lot of villages don't have running water, internet or reliable electricity. Many of them don't have conventional toilets. Buildings are simple and not what I would call "beautiful." I'm sure that not all villages are like this, but many of them are. The more attractive villages are tourist attractions nowadays.

It would be a great chance to use the Off the Grid lot trait though.

Okay, you're description of it sounds inviting!! I would love it if that's how they make it ?

I suggest you try it. Team of Con Artists goes Robin Hood.

Cool survey! Hopefully they use some of them for future gameplay!

Some of the options seemed a bit random. Why on earth would we need another Costa Rican Jungle world, don't we already have one? I was also a bit confused about the culinary career, we already have Dine Out and a culinary career already, so why do we need another one?

Also, is it just me, or did I not see Teen as an option for expanding gameplay for life stages?

Not just you. No teen in most if not all age group questions. Still, a lot of the questions looked like someone has been hearing many of our complaints. Sadly, many of the ideas in #1 come across as shallow. Why another jungle instead of more fully developping the one we have? Why more cities? The can't even do San Myshuno right. Sounds like a ploy to broaden the market base.

I voted highly for the Brazilian Beach World. Maybe they could add scuba diving,wind surfing and other stuff Sulani didn't get. Perhaps liveable underwater lots for mermaids.

Jokes aside though, it does look pretty interesting. Thanks for the recommendation, I've added it to my watchlist

Sounds to me like a teen pack 80-90s style with bands playing in the garage. Nostalgic pack. Or is that just my mind wondering because that sounds fun. I would love a nostalgic pack it’ll work well with the bowling stuff arcade (adding more arcade swatches) and rollerblading ring just need to bring in drive in movies (requires some sort of cars). I’m excited for these questions but not sure if their all going into sims 4. I don’t think any of the previous in depth survey questions being brought in yet.

Anything that’s actually adding to the depth of game play is great in my book. Would LOVE a revamp on making the sims feel more unique (not just physical appearance) and having real character progression.

So far this was the best survey yet! Things like Growing Pains and Life Issues and Breakup Consequences and developing Babies and More In-Depth Emotions - YES PLEASE!!! Scottish Highlands and Swiss Mountain Town - pleeease, I know they'll probably be unpopular but I need those worlds, I don't think we ever had anything similar in the sims before :bawling:
Anyway, I really hope they'll bring to life at least a few ideas from here because all of them are really awesome :relaxed:
