Expansion Improvement (EP only) - April 2020 Survey
As you remember we could vote for the existing expansions improvements on April. I am curious which Expansion Pack you choosed and why. If you chose more expansion pack, please vote for your first choice.
I just left a post in the grocery store thread about what I'd like to see for grocery style retail. I still think that could work if paired with a backyard farming concept that let you own chickens, maybe a cow or goat and make preserves.
Anyway, besides that, I would like a sequel to GtW, that has more active careers and lets me own more types of community lots and has the hairdresser option that I miss from Sims 2 OfB. No new retail options, just options to own entertainment or service venues with a different mechanic than retail so you're not duplicating what GTW has and you don't have to own both for the new one to work.
I don't really remember what i ended up choosing in the end but I do feel that Get to Work is in biggest need of update
for aliens & sixam and better job task and more jobs and better retail stuff..shop stands.. actual burglars or ability for your sims to get arrested or visit hospital and police minus working there
etc
(also i really wish using science stuff was not locked behind the career cause idk sometimes the scientist is retired and does weird experiments in secret...)
but i feel that for c&d, gt its mostly the lack of open water in the worlds
for IL specific its the hammock that got taken from game files, no surfing, no hula not enough lots for the village on land (especially wish the building behind the center was actual lot to edit) aaand yeah more mermaid funs would not hurt...(also would like to drop sims in lava for sacrifice but i get ea doesn't really vibe with that : ( at least some fun ritual of other kind?)
for IL and GT lack of couple and group activity (no coupledancing) (no group boating or couple boating or group/couple floaties)
City Living no building apartments or at least ability to somehow divide apartments and edit the hallways or put down preset apartments in other worlds also controlling festivals be sweet
Seasons again no couple skating (can you tell im obsessed with couple activities) and also no skating on bonds or lakes
University: idk even. i guess id like if i could direct my sims to class easier and the lunch lady would stop screaming and maybe itd be nice if other sims living in dorm did not continuously play violin
Get Famous: I wish some of the props were separate from the wall things like for example the perfect saloon signs on the saloon set or the cute saddle stands or whatever saloon doors... (*cough* yes i was trying to build saloon the other day)
I've always thought Discover University was horrible, because it's essentially a rabbit hole pack. What's the point of sending your student (or teacher) to university if you can't come with them?
There are a few things I would like to have improved in various packs Island living : underwater lots to follow sims diving and see mermaids swim. I would also like the cave to be a hidden lot instead of a rabbit holes. Boats shouldbe updatedsso sims can take along children and toddlers. They could do this for sledges in snowy escape so it is possible. Child and toddler mermaids should also have a second form with a tail get to work : an update for sixam so sims can actually move there get together : update for the world to allow swimming in the ocean.
But the pack I would like to see updated most is a game pack : realm of magic . I would like magic for children and an updated magic realm with more lots and the possibility to live there. Familiars could also do with some more interactions.
I'm actually surprised Cats & Dogs hasn't gotten more votes yet but I do understand everyones POV for some of the other packs and I definitely agree. I would say C&D was probably one of the biggest disappointments for EP's personally because I remember being able to do so much more fun interactions with cats and dogs in Sims 2 and Sims 3, heck even Sims 1. Sims 2 was probably my favorite overall though for gameplay with them. I was just really bummed how limited C&D was for interactions, especially with cats. I understand that more people are probably dog peeps or seems like a lot of the Sims team are dog people but there are things in the game that cats can do too. For instance, I wish we could go on walks with cats or let the cats swim, etc. I just think there was a lot of missed opportunities for more in depth gameplay and interactions with pets. I'm still waiting on better content for small pets like birds, reptiles and what not.
