Looking Forward To the End Of TS4
Let's look at a few reasons why. Unlike TS2 or TS3, TS4 has been built on such a small scale, with limited gameplay, I will be happy the day it has ended and TS5 possibly revealed. Or maybe I won't...

Honestly I think asking for the next iteration might be a two sided sword.
If EA/Maxis maintains the offline aspect of the sims and keeps the Expansion Pack model, I'm 100% on board. If they go online, then TS4 is my last sims game.
Hopefully TS5 (Base Game) focuses on it being a lifesimmulator, instead of it being a game for pre-schoolers with giant objects, rocket ships, and angry poops. I'd like to see animated cars again, the ability to make custom worlds from inside the game again (Ã la TS2 but with more intuitive tools), layered clothing, hair growth, the colour wheel, graveyards, having to go shop for groceries in grocery stores and not directly from the fridge, having to go to shop for clothes in boutiques like TS2 and no have it directly from the dresser, sims having to go cut their hair in salons, actual personalities, wants and fears, active BG jobs, etc. Less easiness and laziness and more lifesimulating, with the signature craziness of The Sims. I don't mind if TS5 only loads one lot at a time like TS2/TS4, as long as the tools and gameplay are there, unlike in TS4 which was a compromise of absolutely everything.
I actually had a dream once where TS5 was style-wise very similar to TS4, but was more similar to TS2-TS3 gameplay wise and it was really cool. Too bad dreams don't come true ahaha
