Vacation! I would love to see an EP, something more in-depth then a normal GP/SP would include. A Las Vegas themed world would be so neat. It could contain “resorts” much like in Las Vegas that are themed with casinos, hotels, restaurants, etc. it would of course have to include gambling. Which I’m assuming would mean an addition line to the T game rating. A MUST: the ability to create your own/ and possibly even own your own resort/casino/hotel.
A winter wonderland would be another cool vacation destination. It’s something I don’t feel the previous generations even touched on. (Or even a neighborhood that is mainly winter/snow covered) Skiing would be a fun sport/Athletic excursion or even possibly include it as a branch in the athletic career too.
Careers: I would like to see some more sports careers. I was a professional figure skater for 12 years and it was my life. I think it would be so cool if they added some more interactive careers. Slowly I feel like the sims has moved closer towards what I want. For eons your sims simply disappeared into a portal for a handful of hours, a couple of days of the week when they went to work. Once in a blue moon you may get promoted to take action regarding some problem your sim has on the job. Finally TS4 gave us jobs that actually let you GET TO WORK! Now that I got a taste I want more! Professional athletes; figure skating - interactive rink. You can click where to skate, practice crossovers, learn to skate backwards. Learn single axel. And so on. And as you learn jumps and spins you can choreograph a program and compete at arenas.
Skiing, diving, gymnastics, tennis, along with other pro sports
Building: It was a dream come true when they made customizable stairs! Getting to design the living space is an entirely different experience then playing. I love to build. And I love to own what I build. The neighborhoods need to be what the offspring of meshing TS3 and TS4. Open world was amazing, but it had it drawbacks. As do semi open world
- loading screams - oops I meant screens. I was shocked when I saw how dull the neighborhoods looked when I first loaded up TS4. But on closer inspection, it looked pretty darn cool when I was actually playing. And from a sims POV their surroundings are full of life. Now I love the contrasting looks. But I can’t stand how little you can edit the towns. That is when I favor TS3. You could place a lot anywhere. Those things should all mesh together and work cohesively.
Romance: think TS1 Hot Date but 2020 version. The social interactions in TS4 are already great when it comes to building relationships. I feel like each sim has a sexual preference pre set. Maybe they don’t, but two of the sims I’ve already played in my family clearly favor the same sex (which I love considering I’m gay). I can’t quite put my finger on what it is exactly that I would like to see added but I bet they could make going on dates and stuff like that more in-depth.
One thing I would LOVE but I sadly never see happening is a more adult themed expansion being added. I think going as far as hoping for an M rated EP is out, but it would be awesome to see more adult themed actions.
