Some of these features are DLC, others are add-ons that previous games had...and some are just new features...
1. Basic Weather--Sun, Clouds, Rain
2. Cats, Dogs, and Small Pets
3. Aliens, Vampires, Werewolves, A Magic Skill (Not a separate lifestate this time, O.K.?), Plantsims, Ghosts, and Zombies
4. Paintable Ceilings
5. Spiral Stairs
6. Rounded Walls
7. A Stage/Platform Tool
8. Pools (shouldn't have to say this, but...)
9. Hot Tubs (another thing I shouldn't have to say, but...)
10. Bowling
11. Restaurants
12. Retail Stores
13. A Martial Arts Skill and The Option to See the Action Instead of That Fight Cloud (for better fights)
14. Vehicles (cars, bikes, motor cycles, tricycles for kids and adults, those 4-wheeler bikes, mopeds and scooters, etc.)
15. Create-A-World built right into the game, not as a separate app.
16. Create-A-Mesh which let's you mold, paint, and save clothing, hairstyle, and furniture meshes right in the game. Maybe use a system like the PS2 game Magic Pengel, where the player draws the parts and the game procedurally generates a mesh, then add a system which could allow the mesh to then be edited and molded with an interface that works like sculpting virtual clay.

17. Lots and Lots of Gameplay Settings Options--Population, Occults, Difficulty, Lifespan, Autonomy, Taxes, Bills, etc.
TS5's base is gonna have to be pretty darn impressive to compete with Paralives and any other competitors coming to market. They'll have to go big or go home.
