Do you think old survey ideas might ever come into play?

I remember old Sims 4 (or even Sims 3) surveys suggesting really cool stuff like growing pains, town life & farmer's market, amusement parks, reality tv....just stuff that hasn't really been explored in the Sims that much. Do you think it's possible they might entertain these ideas for a future pack? And what is something you wouldn't want them to try? Personally I'm not big on the future themed expansions.

    Wow there was such a thing!? Man that would be awesome. I swear they do polls on the most amazing things and then the actual content they give us is just not that good.

    Yeah it was a pretty good survey I remember checking Dine Out and Get to Work as packs I wanted revisited as both themes had so much potential only to fall flat. How nice it would be if there was something to do in retail besides look at a mannequin and have a Sim chase you down with a tablet.

    There was a good survey on Themeparks in TS3 that could still happen in TS4 before it's done. I'm hoping.

    The following were mentions

    Amusement Park Rides
    Run an Amusement Park or send your sims to one
    An Aquarium Exibit and Zoo
    Carnival Games

    This would be a very big pack and would require an expansion pack and probably a 64x64 lot.


    Yes, after farming and generations, I would certainly be up for something like this. But if we get one, I would like to be able to make our own amusement parks, not like snowy escape where we have to go to one place to use the feature.

    I would love to see them revisit get to work and revamp retail, but I hope they don’t change the 3 careers..... I like the way they are. It would be nice to open up sixam for living there though.
  • With the recent shifts in the direction of delivering what the players have been asking for, I have a little more faith in the idea we'll see some of the survey feedbacks in future updates or packs. Personally, I hope they start with improving existing packs, but their workflow pipeline may deign that too hefty to start with.
  • We got Snowy Escape which was mentioned in a survey years ago, so yup

    As long as they focus on bringing good fundamental gameplay to the base game of Sims 5 like Sims 3 did and don‘t focus too much on online gameplay and Multiplayer gameplay I’m all for a late release! Sims 5 should be a full single player experience.

    But sadly gameplay of Sims 5 will probably be half-baked and they‘re tragically gonna focus the majority of development time on multiplayer stuff, stuff like „the gallery“ and DLC impluementation instead of good gameplay for the Sims 5 base game...


    I think it’s going to depend on thre engine they use, and how much they try to establish online playing.

    Ooh yes, with bands maybe ? Should have come with a previous pack though, they have made us used to paying a ridiculous amount of money for a decent game.
