Most overrated community request?

This looks like one of those polls that might start a serious fight so I'm not choosing at all!

Okay, so controversial. I would like to see them free, and I do play with families. But if they do free them, I can't see them differing much from toddlers, and if they did create unique interactions for babies like changing them on a change table then sure that'd be cool, but I feel like its a fair chunk of work for a life stage that lasts 3 days.

I would welcome a baby update, but I just don't care for it myself. Though I would utilise it. I'm gonna get clapped for this opinion, and I'm sorry to anyone who disagrees lol

Wise choice lol

Yea I should've mentioned in the post keep it civil and don't attack other for their opinions

Cars seem some what pointless in a game with loading screens...

I know that TS2 has them and yes the mechanical skill is nice and the realism of seeing sims get into a car was also nice but even with those points I just feel like there is many other things that the Sims 4 would benefit from more.

I just don’t want farms, especially farm animals. Farming is one of those things that works better as it’s own series like Story of Seasons or Stardew Valley.

I get the appeal of running a farm for generations, but it’s not for me.

This thread will surely get deleted later, no? Very controversial. I dont think its fair to consider disabilities "overrated", and you already made an exception for your own personal preference when you pointedly said youd exclude the skintone update, when other simmers have said it was overrated /didnt need to change, or that the paler skintones got ignored. Its hypocritical to exclude that.

Disabilities was also something i was considering to not include. In hindsight I probably shouldve just excluded that altogether. But it's a poll and I'm not saying you can't have opinions on the skin tone update. The reason I didnt put it as an option was because I didn't think that people complaining about broken skins should be considered overrated. The only reason I included disabilities was because I've seen a lot of people, including disabled people say that they don't want them etc. Also I can't put loads of options in a poll, so I excluded that.

I don't see why this would be deleted, I'm not trying to offend anyone and you're going to see controversial topics online. If we can't talk about controversy then what's the point of having a forum? Are we just gonna play A - Z games and talk about the good all the time?

Also I haven't said that disabilities are overrated. See here; "Also I'm not stating all of the options I put down are overrated, I just put in topics / requests that are quite popular / controversial. Feel free to explain your reasoning in the comments" also if you really wanted to vote for skin tones, as I said; "skin tones, because some need fixing and it shouldn't be classed as an overrated request. If you really think it is just chose other and state why".

Obviously disabilities is something we don't have in the game as of now, and something I think will be hard to implement. My distinction for skin tones was that it is something that is in game and that the Sims team has "fixed". There are still some issues with it, especially console from what I've seen, and I didn't think that I would include these complaints in this poll, as I don't think people complaining about something that has been "fixed" and has not been for them should be classed as an overrated opinion.

oh yeah there are loads of good threads that got closed, not saying I agree with it, just saying it doesnt take much for a moderator to step in and say the thread is "derailing" and close it.

Ok and yeah your reply does make sense, I was just kinda like 'hey! There's already an exception'. Thank you for reply.

In that, case moving forward, my vote would be the colour wheel. I actually like the swatches and the color wheel is overwhelming.

I think I'd actually love all of these, so it's really hard to choose an overrated one! I think there are some options that for me the game NEEDS for extending and deepening gameplay, and ones that would just add something extra.
Needs - generations, teen pack, and colour wheel/sliders (just so I can make furniture bloomin' match :D )
Would Love - Baby update, cars and garages, and a farming pack (with an Apaloosa Plains type world)
Would Like - Hotels, werewolves
Indifferent - disabilities (I can understand why some people would love to see them, and I think it would create an interesting layer to the game. But if they weren't included I wouldnt feel disappointed.)

I think it's all about personal preference and gameplay style. It's an interesting poll - none of them are overrated - I want them all!! :D :D :D

Now, by picking Generations I'm not saying I don't want more options for all of the non-young adult lifestages. I do.

But I don't need them in one pack of "Bunch of small systems that don't have anything connecting them other than there's something for all life stages" unless it's the last pack and qualifies as "bunch of small systems that we couldn't fit anywhere else that we wanted to release before going on to Sims 5"

I want a pack focused on Teens, high school, and all the Teen aged drama. I want a pack focused on Children and after-school activities and being a kid. I can even see these two packed together as a "School Years" pack or a "growing up" pack similar to Parenthood.

And then I want a separate "Retired and Loving it" pack that sends elders off on three-day rabbit hole cruises to other parts of the Sim World, with a special type of Apartment system for a Retirement community where there are actually editable common areas and NPC Assisted Living Nurses.

And I want a separate "Mid Life Crisis" stuff pack with items that are impractical, tacky and stupidly expensive. (Provided SimGuruConnor is working on it)

And I want all of these as separate Game Packs and Stuff packs because then they can get real focus and maybe even depth, and don't have to be "generally applicable" and cut short because they couldn't fit it all in the budget for an Expansion pack that glosses over each age group lightly and doesn't give enough to satisfy for any one of them.
