Forum Discussion
All of these themes are exciting !!! My favorite themes are Cyberpunk, Monarchy, Crime and Travel Van/Mechanic career.
Previously April 2020 survey brought Growing Together (2023) so these new packs should be released in 2027/2028.
If there was a modern monarchy pack my biggest dream would become true and I would be the most happiest simmer in the world.
I'm all for the futuristic Van Life. 😉
I was able to do the survey and I picked the royalty one and the one with an expansion on water activities including the house boats. Im not terrible interested in either. However, I know a lot of Simmers are AND I think both of these types of titles could be great fixes or improvements for packs we already have.
In the sections that allowed to write our opinions and suggestions I made sure to ask for as additions to what they already said was coming in the pack if it was made.

^ I feel like get together already kinda does that with clubs so maybe they should update in second version for those banners with more royal fancy look 🤔
I actually wanted the Flags & Banners for the Castle Kit with a more medieval look. I was thinking this idea might refine those offerings from GT as you are suggesting. I actually had a list of Icons/color combinations I wanted. One that's a pretty famous reference.
I wish they let us picked 3 instead of 2 .I think the retro world is probably more likely to be made.Simmers wanted a more retro style for a long time.
The ones think are unlikely are archeologist dig.I think it's just too niche.Either way I hope they least pick four of these,but the reast rethink some features to be in game packs.
I think the problem with archaeology one is the similarities with Jungle Adventure and Island Living like we can already dig things from the ground and do conservation on the beach
if we had more archaeology I think I would prefer egypt kind of setting rather than beach
if we get more sea stuff I think I'd like it to be more about the open sea and under the sea and sea sports like non rabbithole diving, surfing and sup boarding
maybe instead of another small town setting we could have small fully customizable private islands scattered around the map and some boats that fit more than one sim to travel between those ?
maybe we could do some beach volleyball, hammocks or that castaway survivalist thing on the islands?
think im already kind of overdoing it on the gameplay tbh but ah I just wish it was more about the gameplay things less about beach town thing we already have
(also sorry you totally did not ask for whole pack idea as reply 😂 my dang brain just got too deep into the beach problem)
No worrise
It's a no-brainer for me: I want diving, I want houseboats, and I want them yesterday.
I would not have thought of the van life pack, but that's intriguing. I would probably buy, particularly for the mechanic career, but it would be weird if we got only vans and no other cars, motorbikes, etc.
I have zero interest in monarchy, retro mall, gritty city, or cyberpunk. The rest all sound somewhat interesting; I might buy, depending on the details, but could live with or without any of them as described.
10 years and they finaly considering a basic thing like a create a world tool....better late than never
I long for create a world in sims 4 ... but it is a distant dream
I wish rather than “modern monarchy” they’d consider just a really funny and imaginative Royalty pack with over the top princesses and castles and things.
I think Sims is at its best when they remember it’s a game and embrace the funny things like Grim and the Easter bunny and stuff. So less realistic and modern monarchy and more fantasy fictional royal family.
While I do agree with your over the top statement, we must also remember that a new EP will be added to everything that we already got. The existing package includes very realistic themes like Eco lifestyle and Cottage living. I think a weird monarchy game would be fun, but maybe better as a stand-alone?
That said, it should be possible to add both by just giving us the tools and we can all add and develop what we prefer. Even a realistic monarchy might have room for a weird member of the royal family ;) Maybe the weird aspect could be mainly connected to one of several forms of Monarch styles/politics? If there are several ways to be a Sovereign, I'd gladly embrace one crazy King with a lot of weirdness added to it.

I am sure they won't advertise the job in the newspaper. 😁 Maybe one day your sim receives a call that he is the only heir of the recently deceased king and his entire family and does he want the job? Or maybe he can serve him bad pufferfish nigri at a banquet and then marry his widow? 😁 Or give up on his true love in pursuit of fame and power and marry the king's daughter? Or maybe become an army general and declare a coup? Or you could accidentally switch the royal baby after you seduce the nanny? 😁 I think that could be fun, if they add a lot of drama and stuff.
I imagine a modern monarchy would be more like the political career but with ballgowns, palace intrigues, helicopter rides and stuff. They said there could be exotic pets, so maybe we could finally get our big cats in game and cool cars. All those desert princes seem to have one. 😁 We already have horses for the European style royals.
Cars,under ocean swimming,houseboats,lifeguard npcs,waterslides,malls etc oh my.
There are no cars, only live-in vans.
Still waiting for a Rush Hour Expansion pack with cars, taxis, car races, buses, motorcycles, scooters and trucks…
I just took the survey. Some of the themes sound very interesting. Especially the ones about the future. I just hope they aren't all dystopian. I still hope for a bright future where mankind has achieved a better was of life. But I was asked for feedback on underwater adventures and monarchy. Both interesting packs as well.
