My WISH is that we can finally have open neighborhoods. Where we can visit our neighbors and go to other lots without loading screens. If we get this and cars I dare to say Sims 4 would finally feel in league with TS3.

I've been saying open neighborhood since the Sims first started at least knock on the neighbors door but it's like Sims 2 so yeah.

Yeah it would make such a massive difference to this game. I'm not sure if it is possible since I think it would have to change the core code of the game (I'm assuming).

I don't think they can update the world to have seemless hoods with no loading screens because of the game engine but what they probably can do is add roads for cars and open up the bodies of water in the default worlds for swimming and Brendleton Bay as well.

Apartments in the Sims 2 were actually better, because we could build them :/
All I want is building apartments and multi purpose lots. If this is what this expansion/update before it is about, I'm all for it. And I think it would be very different to City living.

I wonder if they managed to make three EPs for this year because they have opened Maxis Europe? Do you think the new EP was made by Maxis Europe? If yes, I'm very curious to see their take on a new world. In BTS we were informed that they are interesting in bringing European elements to the game, like dishes over the sink.
On the other hand I wonder if maybe the world from the new pack will be Asian? Based on the food we see on the banners.

Seeing how much content they put into the last expansion I'm not surprised they could put out 3 "expansions" the horse pack was a game pack at best.

Everyone mentioning apartments makes me sad we continue to pay for features they won't give us to build on our own and beg to pay for it again and again. Building your own apartments should have come with City Living the only exceptions with preexisting apartments should be those shell lots in city worlds otherwise we should have been given the tools to do it ourselves years ago with an expansion that should have expanded the game with its features. Most expansions should be called mini games like the high school being locked to one world the game rarely overall is expanded besides Seasons.

Cars? Or am I just seeing car hints everywhere these days?

Totally agree with you on this one.

I feel like they wouldn't write a wordthat's in one language in noodles in an image if they use the same visuals in every language they advertise in.

Maybe it's not cars but motorcycles. They are quite popular in south east Asia, everybody has one. They also have bustling cities there.

I'm hoping this is some type of Apartments, FreeTime, Late Night type of content or something even better than that. I know City Living was supposed to be that type of release but back in the day when we got the surveys about upcoming packs one of them was called METROPOLIS and honestly San Myshuno seems so empty and not busy enough for that type of gameplay. So I'm hoping that a decade later they do things right now.

I love that they didn't move from apartments right after City Living and we still got some with Eco Lifestyle but got disappointed that they could've put a couple more on Growing Together since it's based on San Francisco. We don't even have a name or confirmation of what it is yet and I'm already coming up with these ideas.

The horse pack was not game pack.I would consider it an more than game pack.Horses did take a lot of resources.I think it is worth more 20.00 dollars but not 40.00.I think 30.00 dollars is more fair value.

I consider Horse Ranch a game pack because despite horses taking a lot of resources, Dogs & Cats gave us more.

I also consider Home Decorator and My Wedding Story as stuff packs, because they just don't have the level of game play I'd expect in a game pack.

I would not be surprised if there was internal discussion about the rankings of those three packs.

So here, I'm manifesting...
The new pack will feature:
1. Apartment buildings (instead of apartments) where you can visit neighbors without going through a loading screen. Simguru Ash said that the TS2 apartments were the best ones and she hopes TS4 can outdo them.
2. New ways to gossip. Sims are now able to collect info about other sims (ex. A sim sees another sim cheating on their partner, or a vampire drinking from another sim etc) and they are also able to pass this info to other sims through gossip.
3. New feature. Opinions. A sim learning new info about another sim (as described above) might form a positive or negative opininion about the sim in question.
4. New feature. Values. Sims who are owners of an apartment can organize a HOA meeting and vote on various topics. Sims will vote according to their personal values. Ex. A sim who values safety will vote pro hiring private security.
5. New neighboorhood jobs. House flipper, neighboorhood technician, neighboorhood burglar.
