So many of these ideas are so expansive and ambitious. But like, EPs are still way behind Sims 3 in terms of quality and quantity, and they're arguably getting more and more shallow as time goes on. As much as I'd love a cyberpunk theme (Oasis Springs is a cyberpunk world in my game), ocean exploration, and superheroes/mafia, I'm skeptical as to whether they can pull them off. Superheroes are a MAJOR want of mine, but there's no way fights will be more than regular dust clouds, reskins of spellcaster fights, and a bunch of recycled effects. There's no way missions won't be just you watching some good/bad sim go through some very basic animations in the corner by themselves, and you just fight/help them for a few minutes.
EDIT: I will say that I'm glad more out-there, active and less "regular daily life" stuff is being considered here, though. So many packs are geared towards basic life, but I love new experiences and being able to go different types of things for my sims to do.
Noting the van life pack idea, though. For this to be a thing, wouldn't cars need to be a thing? Makes me wonder if cars are already in the works, and they're prepping for a possible road travel pack to help push the idea.
Or - cars will never be a thing, but they thought of giving us customizable vans instead, to please the car hungry simmers. I actually like the idea. Cars just for driving and parking makes no sense in a game with no lengthy roads. Living in the car is a more interesting take on it methinks.
I would like both. I miss cars from the sims 2. And if they do come out with cars, hope we can listen to the radio in them and they give a positive buff. We can teach our teenagers how to drive, we can work on and fix them up. And of course woo hoo or mess around ( teenagers ). In them. It would be nice if we could drive them out of a garage, or store them in our inventory. With get to work we could own a car dealership, a garage, and fast food store, and car wash lot would be nice. I too like the van idea, but I don’t think I would like it limited to one world because our worlds are so small.
