I've been thinking about a potential Generations expansion pack and I actually believe it's really likely we'll get one. At least if they were interested in community wishes we'd be getting one for sure. It's almost always the pack brought up when people are asked what they want, even more than a farming pack (also a popular choice). However, I'm having trouble coming up with ways they could make a Generations pack unique in the Sims 4. Or rather, I'm dreading the ways they could make it unique. It was such a wonderfully executed idea in the Sims 3, and in the Sims 2 it just wasn't needed, since the family gameplay was already top notch. I'm just skeptical that the things they would come up with would be good enough to compete with the Sims 3 version, yet they can't possibly release an expansion that is exactly the same. What do you think?

I hope it doesn't include many activities tied to the specific world Generations comes with. So I hope it doesn't come with any world at all and just expands gameplay between Sims. TS4 has the big problem that it does provide some fun activities (Hiking or Skiing/Sledding in SE, Swimming in the ocean in IL), but they aren't possible on a global scale, they're tied to one specific world or object. Also I hope it comes with lots of group activities which let Sims interact and build relationships. Why can't our Sims cook or jog together and build relationships while doing so? Why can't they build relationships while relaxing in the sun? Also, I want more play-together-options not bound to objects for children: tag, mary-mack, cops and robbers and I really need more playground equipment (loved TS3 Generations for it).

I so wish hiking was available on other worlds - I loved that interaction.

I hope its not all about fleshing out the different life stages because they didnt deel all that fleshed out the last time. I wish they focus more on general family gameplay adding more options for dating, marriage, birth, divorce, inheritancd. We could also get loans.A new feature they could add is using the calendar feature to plan family get togethers where sims will honor different for every family traditions or to assign chores to different household members (so you could have a kid clean every saturday afternoon).One other thing they could do is add generations as behavioral traits for different age groups. Every generation would feel different than the previous one.

Well, I hope Generations does not come with a new world. Instead they should focus on bringing more depth and more ''engaging'' content for every life stage. Imo we don't need a new world with that EP.

In what way could a Generations pack differ from its Sims 3 counterpart?

I'd be so mad if half the budget for Generations was spent on another ugly world please no world spend it all on animations seriously all of it I don't need a world or new hair give me group activity animations and things to do.

For babies besides being patched to be free of their prison known as the most ugly bassinet in history game play needs to be added in Generations besides the stroller giving them the option to travel with family and not be a forgotten object always left, we're heading out and leaving you with the unknown babysitter... they should be the gap filler toddlers walk well then babies need to play to their potential and learn to roll around and move sit up and eventually crawl play with toys and interact with all life stages

Kids need to be kids and not mini adults give them games to play together be it in the pool, water gun fights cops n robbers hanging out in the tree house together playing dress up and actually acting like what they dress up as in

Teens need more unique things to separate them from adults now more than ever the usual prom (active if a high school pack ever comes where they actually dance together) learning to drive there needs to be activities for them like skate boarding and things to do with friends like going to the mall or movies, though this is Sims 4 I probably just listed at least 5 packs of content

Young adults give them nothing this entire game is built for them

Adults need midlife crises

Elders need canes, better aging face masks and walk styles

Dead Sims Graveyards

Yes!! Animations...and this is probably an unpopular opinion but i want animations that feel more...natural? is that the right word? than what we get in the sims 4 already. i HATE flirting with other sims and it's this over the top annoying forced goofiness. the sims 4 team seems to have missed that the humor in the game came from the unexpected and surprising situations that were implemented in a NATURAL way and not these fake, ridiculous (and 10000 times recycled) animations. it makes me so irritated and i would love animations that feel a bit more natural with a generations pack. for example: i LOVE the woohoo animation in get together. more of that please.

lol i'm pretty passionate about my dislike of the sims 4 animation choices if you can't tell.
