New Official Sims 4 Expansion Pack Survey

Hmm, that's a good point about werewolves. When I saw the word 'gritty' I thought of gritty drama, rather than the look. What I didn't want was the Sims to go down the route of hyper-realistic violence and gore, extremely depressing drama and traumatic themes, which is what I associate with the gritty aesthetic.

When I think of cyberpunk, I mainly think of the clothing style and neon. I guess what I meant was I liked the visual aesthetic, but not a dystopian story. 

My favorite was the one with more activities and adventures for children.

Embark on life-changing adventures where children discover new hobbies through recreation and exploration activities that shape their future interests. Create your own sleepaway camp with beaches, lakes, rivers, and pools, where kids can socialize, play, and learn new skills under the care of lifeguards, camp counselors, and babysitters. Dive into endless water activities, uncover camp myths, discover new creatures, make lasting friendships, and develop hobbies to share with the whole family.

I think The sims needs a birthing ep. Or added in with updates to get to work or parenting .... something like pandasama has. Or just partner with pandasama since EA is gonna start selling some creator content packs.  But the options I'm talking about are like home births i.e. water births. Or like ob appointments or lamaze classes. The pandasama site has mods for all this but you can use them on console. Definitely  worth a collaboration to create some kind of pack for this stuff.  Other than that I think maybe just work out the quirks and kinks of it all and get it as up to date as possible.  Add more hairstyles for kids and for the black sims... things like that. 

I was thinking that too!

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. 

1. Modern Monarchy
2. Coastal Town & Ocean World 
3. Adventurous Exploration
4. Cyberpunk
5. Post-Apocalyptic Survivor
6. Retro World & Malls
7. Gritty City
8. Sleepaway Camp
9. Van Life

Seriously, I wish they would develop all of the EPs on the ideas list. The adventure based packs will always be the most appealing to me. Anything to expand Jungle Adventures! 

I did the survey last night and picked Ocean World -  I’ve been wanting houseboats and underwater worlds / lots (and sea monsters!!!) since forever in my game, I can’t wait to be able to build a pirate ship and have my sims actually sail into a pixel sunset or chase merfolk UNDERWATER or get tangled up in the seaweed or the loving arms of The Kraken. 

I also picked the post apocalyptic survivalist EP for the adventure, survivalist career, makeshift shelters, exotic creatures and the entire “nature took over” concept in general. Love it. 
I might do the survey again on another device and pick a couple of the other ideas that I really liked, such as the adventurous exploration, fossil hunting, cyberpunk city, time travel ( was there time travel?🤔) and something about building robots on another planet. Oh, and heists, and also van life, OFCOURSE I want to drive around in a van. Exactly, all of them please. Make. Now. 

Ocean Life - Poor poor Island Living! This is kind of what people wanted from it all along, the sailing and diving. It would then be a sell based on it's island culture life and then mermaids.

Van Life - You know what this would be great for? Those Sims with adventerous trait that I always struggle to do things with. But I think this would also sell for folks based on elder expansion alone. I know I had RV-loving grandparents who treked across the states. And a mechanic career, plus vans, plus...cars, would exicte a lot of folks.

Survivalist World - Oh boy oh boy! You got your survival game in my Sims! As someone who likes Strangerville, this ingregues me as an experience to be had. And again, would be great for the adventerous sims. (Also I see the exotic pets and think of that one guy who wanted dragons)

Fossils Expansion - OH MAN MUSEUMS EXPANSION. Again, this would pair interestingly with Jungle Adventure, as it is a slightly different take on archeology, that of palentology. -glances over at the literal adventure skill- HEH.

Cyberpunk - Oooh, again, we have some interesting things at work since this also goes along with Get to Work and Discover University's robotics and mechs. This could be an interesting theme to explore.

Kids Camp - Kind of an overlap with some of Growing Together's kids expansion ideas alongside Outdoor Retreat. Ehhh. Like it might be nice down the line, I will never object to more child aspirations buuuuuut eh.

Criminal Expansion - Ooh! Ooh! We've really needed an expansion that works for the criminal career! It kinda doesn't work well for storytelling when it's just an average 9-5. Does have some overlap with the law enforcement with Get to Work, which is probably why it only got a few lines. Still I really hope this one gets considered.

80/90's Throwback - I get the feeling this one is going to be real popular because of all of the old Sims features coming back. Meanwhile, what intersts me is the tabletop gaming. I've wanted something like that for awhile now! And some more arcade cabinets would be nice! Nerd stuff for the nerd!

Monarchy - The only thing worse than landlords is the ULTIMATE landlords. Yuck. Can't believe we got a pack ranked lower than For Rent! At least that has the benefit of living in an apartment!

I hope they would use all the packs evan means smaller ones.

I do think archeological will work okay as a gamepack

Oh sure but we currently have a sad clown, a sad bear, an Easter bunny etc.  Plus all the love struck costumes.  I think a funny spoilt princess and an over the top posh king would be fine 😂.  

You have a good point though.  Honestly this is why I wish they’d stick with gamepacks that are optional, they could treat royals like an occult pack.
