Sims 5 suggestions for different elements and expansion packs

I see so many people asking for essentially sims 3 in the sims 5. But let's assume for the moment, that EA has a change of heart and decides to go all out on the sims 5 base game, so that it feels like a complete base game with most of the things that we have already seen to make room for fun new ideas that actually expand the game. At the moment it feels like when EA releases a base game it's so bare that they leave no room for new ideas because everyone is demanding for the expansion ("base") game packs to make the game whole first before they can think about wanting other packs to 'expand' the game.

So let's assume the base game already has the following: Open world, seasons/weather, basic pets, laundry, open world, cars, and maybe even a college rabbit hole (A rabbit hole for college wouldn't be too much to ask for a base game right?). Different areas like a city, suburban areas, rich, middle class and poor. Beaches, dessert, hills and forests. You can go shopping for clothes, groceries, get haircuts, go to the library, cafe's and restaurants. There are private schools, you can own and run your own businesses and restaurants.

Let's just say for arguments sake that EA creates this awesome Sims 5 base game. What would you include to the game that's new?

What I would include is below. Feel free just to read the bullet points. I know this post is an essay.

Different Expansion pack ideas: (Some have of course been suggested elsewhere and some are from this site: https://levelskip.com/simulation/Sims-4-Expansion-Pack-Ideas)
- UNDER THE SEA: Which would include everything to do with water. Boating, sailing, surfing, canoeing, scuba diving (Where you can see
everything under the sea), Boat houses, boat parties, paddle boarding.
- Get FARMING: Could include having chickens, cows, sheep, owning a paddock where you can race horses, or do show jumping, or open
horse riding lessons for sims once your skills of horse riding is a certain level. Option also to hire workers for your farm.
- AT THE ZOO, with option to work in the zoo career.
- FUN PARKS: Circuses, amusement parks. (You can build your own, or maybe even run your own circus).
- OUTER SPACE game pack (Maybe even can have a new world on mars).
- FIRST RESPONDERS: A active career pack that includes firefighters, police and Paramedics. But I would like these careers really hands on and active. Like the police has to actually chase and fight criminals too.
- Get SUPER: Superhero and villain game pack: Read more in the link above.


Elements I would include:
1. I would like to see a more modern world this time around.
2. Options to make things more challenging. i.e. Always optional or with cheats, so everyone can play how they want.
3. Different career and school systems.
4. Starting a new family with choosing different challenge levels (1. Ability to buy house. 2. Ability to rent a house. 3. Homeless).
5. Having somewhere to put your money when you're rich. This is mostly about having a property career though.
6. Illness system: Not just random.
7. Gaining additional traits, interests and fears.
8. Teaching toddlers to swim/Toddlers can swim with floaties.
9. Community events.

I will discuss the elements I would like in more detail if you want to read in a post below. This post is already ridiculously long.

    Yeah, many of us want Sims 5 for be similar to Sims 3, but better. 64 bits, open world, better graphics, CASt, more realistic sims and hairs, preteens.

    Now when most computers have SSD's, multi core processors, good graphics cards and 16 GB RAM is standard, I see no reason why we can't have open worlds and more realistic looking sims.

    An auxiliary program I would like to see is one that can convert sims from Sims 3 to Sims 5. Then you could get a sim with the same basic features, and maybe tweak them a little, and import them to your game. I would love to be able to continue playing my current sims in Sims 5. :smile:
  • I'm sorry, of all the things I would like in TS5, TS3 style sims is the last thing, they were unfortunate looking creatures. Sorry. I absolutely would not mind sims looking realistic, but TS3 wasn't that. I know, unpopular opinion.
  • Good Morning Simmers! and everyone at maxis, don't get me wrong please, i love the sims, but it would be nice to see heavier snowstorms, thunderstorms, and please make it so my sims don't freeze to death in winter, and don't die from the heat. thank you :)
  • It would be cool if there was a companion app. Doesn’t have to have every feature, but sometimes I wish I could do a few basics without having to load up my computer.
