SimGuruFrost has posted yet another Community survey link just a couple hours agoLink to the surveyAnd honestly, what it implies regarding the current state of sims 4 is VERY BIGLet's discuss this.I'll talk in this thread on the assumption that you know everything presented in the survey. So to the people in the future who may see this topic, watch This video for more info.My guess is that EAxis makes their community surveys in 3 phases of their development:EitherA-They aren't working on the content presented in the survey AT ALL. (Unlikely)B-They're in the pre-production/design phase A.K.A what we see in the survey are just at a concept art level and any one of them that don't get enough hype will be scrapped. (Very likely)orC-They're far in development and want to gauge how hyped we are so they can pinpoint a deadline and shuffle release dates accordingly. (Maybe)Now if I were to take a guess from how the knitting stuff pack is developing. It takes 7-13 months to go from pre-production to production to release. And that's for a pack that's object-oriented. For a pack that's more gameplay oriented (or a base game update as big as NPC STORY PROGRESSION) I'd guess something around 10 months.So we can only assume that, unless EAxis is already working on these stuff, we won't get them until early 2021.But let's put that aside for a moment.What are you most excited for? For me personally i want a trait revamp and more consequences more than anything. The base game needs them BADLY.

I hope everyone voted for story progression because if not, I will RIOT.

I look forward to Greece, Samba, nectar making, shopping malls, long and short term aspirations, developing new traits, better relationships, and some modern romance. If they throw in some new features for children, babies and nailpolish I'll be twice as happy.

Traits and relationship revamp is definitely needed and would be really appreciated. Even something like hobbies/likes or an attraction system will make the Sims more rounded and 'real.' It will help plump out their stories more.I'd also love bands to make a comeback. BRING BACK BANDS! I am desperate to make my own rock or metal band in the Sims :smiley:

The idea of heists really perked my interest. Maybe because Ive been on a GTA kick lately. But it could really expand the possibilities of creating actual criminals out of our sims! And maybe run the risk of getting our criminal sims arrested too? Oooooh I suddenly want to make a criminal empire now. I hope this will mean expanding on the Evil trait, since its seriously indistinguishable from the Mean trait. I do like that they're addressing more meaningful personalities for our sims. Means that they're well aware that we think the sims as they are now are staler than stale white bread, which makes me hopeful of a good update somewhere along the line. And romance? PLEASE TELL ME THIS WILL INCLUDE BETTER WEDDINGS. PLEASE.

Let's remember this was possible game development, and that anything that is developed from this will probably not show up in game for six months at the very, very best - I wouldn't start looking for any of this until after the upcoming Game Pack, which I'm not expecting until September/October.I only bring this up because so often I've seen a survey and then people expect their personal selections (and we never see the results of these surveys) to show up within 1-4 months. I mean people have been expecting a Winter Vacation pack to show up any day now since the last survey. And the Knitting pack shows that what the Community (defined as Forums and various Social Media) wants doesn't always line up with what the Player Base (defined as all players, including those who aren't even aware there is a forum) wants. And the Player Base is larger.

What if the heists are actually scripted plots like Strangerville, and you don't really get to plan the heists? Though I'd like my sims to learn some Capoeira to get through the laser beams to steal Simlisa.

Voted for it as well. I wish they could add some coding that could use real life eye probability to determine the eye color. Sometimes children have a certain eye color because of a grandparent.
