I'd like to see Get Famous go back in for additional development, as mentioned above, but also to really flesh out Del Sol Valley a lot more, the state it is in currently is so poor it isn't worth the money of being an expansion. more neighbourhoods, more lots, places for celebrities already in the game to have their own place with their own unique flavour, it would also be nice if random sims can not move into specific lots, but other celebrities can instead, to give a sense of entitlement and exclusivity.
That silly starlight awards needs another pass over, especially around the bouncer and not allowing any sim inside that isn't a celebrity (or spouse to the celebrity) or on the job for a purpose. the area where the awards take place need to look and feel more grandiose, right now it is hardly worth being called an award show with a few chairs, and a microphone.
It is like EA have never seen an awards ceremony at all, but you'd have lots of chairs around tables, a big stage, lots of stage lights, other special effects lights, the most light is directed at the stage while the rest of the room is a little more darker lit.
I might also wish to state that the host can provide introductions and give some value between awards, but when an award is given it should be done by someone else. for example Judith Ward can come up and offer the award to Dirk Dreamer. or Dirk Dreamer and Holly Alto are on the stage to present the award to your sim. The time of how long you got to respond to get on stage and accept has to be reasonable. As it currently is there is some issue that prevents your sim for accepting their award right away. but you can accept it at another point when someone else is being awarded, it is silly in its current format.
There is so much potential with Del Sol Valley it isn't funny just how badly it has been handled.
I genuinly appreciate this survey a lot, shows they clearly hear what we want. Excited about the potential for existing packs to recieve some polishing, obviously I voted for Island Living, if they could expand those mermaids and make the Life Guard career a full career that'd make me real happy. I also voted for Seasons, mainly because I would like to see more weather effects like rain drops on surfaces, and potentially deep snow. The ability to rollerskate anywhere (if you buy a pair of rollerskates) would also be pretty cool. I also voted Cats and Dogs because I'd like to see a UI for them, and potentially some more things for them to do, I just want to train my cat how to use the toilet.

I upvoted everything to do with deeper personalities and relationships.
I really hope some of that will be coming soon!
This was what I was most interested in too. A vacation pack would be great, improvements to earlier packs also cool, owning a resort would be fun. But deepening personalities and relationships and having sims interactions with each other have impact on their relationships for more than three seconds would impact the game for the better overall.
I loved taking that survey! Makes me think a lot of updates to existing content might be in the future which I love because it would make them worth revisiting rather than buying new content. But I'm also excited for new content! Wow this made me really happy.
I put Very Interested on nearly every thing, especially the personalities and such. I would love a winter world and winter activities (especially if it's not tied to just being a vacation world). For revisiting old packs, I put Get Together, Get To Work (because I think they helped lay down a nice foundation to work well with other packs, and improving them could add so much more depth) and Dine Out (because I've wanted that pack for a while but I've been reading that it's really bugged).
also about the packs needing extra care what did yall put?
I put in these packs mostly because I felt if we were to really take a look and improve we could make some pretty significant changes that could make my game so much more enjoyable and also i feel a little lack of something something
Get to Work this I picked first because it is plain in sight there could be so much more to this theme and it feels sooooooo lacking in every area like confused pack of bit of this bit of that nothing is complete like if they'd add even one thing
they could add additional skill to it (sewing, pottery, glass fabrication, shoemaking idk ... anything to sell pretty much)
there could be factories also maybe? since well. jobs be jobs not everyone can have fancy one.
they could add additional active career (dressmaker, active npc jobs to play with our sims, firefighters? villain one like burglar? idk?)
they could improve aliens for honestly other occults kind of threw them out of park and they're constantly bugged and well alien colonies and spacecrafts and kidnapping sims be just... fun
or improve the retail system like adding groceries or just having some more stands to sell things like I can't even make clothes store we can't just have mannequins everywhere you know we need some clothes racks and such also there is many shoe store signs but absolutely no way to actually sell shoes ???? (sorry i tried to make mall once and I am still frustrated)
or make the jobs more interesting by for example adding actual burglars in our sims houses to catch or like bigger crimes than doodles in goths house or having our sims go to hospital for other reasons than giving birth or just having more things to do at every career really
City Living second pick because meanwhile it has lots of cool stuff I'd like some more because I am greedy and some of it seems odd to put in another pack now
or if that can't happen at least let me edit the hallways and change door placements or separate existing apartments into 2 or 3 should I want to since some of them I never use for being too big
or let me have any other lot type inside my apartment because well it'd just be handy to have little offices in them and such
Functional Elevators to use in any build we like for going upstairs to downstairs. (i mean we got rom teleporters why not this?)
That backstreet of spice district. it seems great place to live edgy life inside some garages and basements whyyyyy not
those underground bands, opera and circus are a big tease and I want them right now as actual things to do. and id also want actual singer career though I suppose these would need another pack for being too big of a theme still, a tease.
being able to turn off festivals and festival invites
goes with phone invites in general but its just annoying when ur on vacation or playing historical save and its like ''geek con is in town'' like no it isn't
+ where does the towel person come from? let me go there. let me be a towel runner too.
Realm of Magic third pick, here I got very confused though since I want small additions to many of these packs (if not all) but I guess my love for occult won
id say some actual witch clothes that look fabulous like old witch hats some cloaks and such are on top of my mind
and since they added familiars I wished there was more to do with them like grow them and play with them and talk to them and feed them and you know not just have them floating about
(*whispers* actual dragons)
and more foods for cauldrons! we can't just be having 3 come on
magic for kids has been talked about a lot
and also id like some of that magic show stuffs like ts1 since there is magicians wand and all :c like meanwhile true we could just have another pack with this features like showtime or something but it would have been fun here too so just throwing it in as I want it very much
hybrids, for honestly sometimes we just can't choose between lifestates
cursing other sims, not just our own sim p_p
and having the sims stay as objects or whatever until someone turns them back not turning back on their own :c and choosing what objects or such they turn into as well since now its just like random and idk what to use it on I can't make my garden of sim statues to show off to my neighbors
and also I was hoping for fortune tellers pre release but now I think better choice would be to release happy haunts as gp tbh since then you could add many death related things and psychics and fortune telling and seances and grimmy and maybe bonehilda and funerals and graveyards and some rituals and ghost things and ... you know?
But yeah, I like all of those ideas. Even though I didn't pick City Living as one of my top 3, those improvements would be huge. Especially making our own apartments and having a sketchy side of town. I didn't even think of the last one until now, but that should have been one of the first things they put in a city. Even Pokemon had you meet a "flasher" in a dark alley in one game, and another game had street gangs.
Super-ultra-agree on all RoM stuff. Honestly, I don't know why they didn't add witch hats into the game. Like, what future packs would reasonably add them? And don't get me started on the familiars - what's the point of them, when killing your sim with magical overload is difficult to accomplish when you're doing it on purpose?
I would love to have sims be able to run a resort!! I hope we get this feature. And also the possibility of released packs being updated, yes please! This was a great survey!
"beville;c-17368662" wrote: Good survey, should've been made 5 years ago. Maybe the game would've been more exciting.
I agree. These surveys could even be done every 6 months so they can keep on top of how the community is feeling/thinking about the content being released. I hope a lot of simmers participate in this, it's important.

hehehe I knew you would :smirk:
and ye I'd just much prefer to have some dodgy streets since it is called city living after all and city ain't city with no dodgy stuff it would also break the happy go lucky game a bit and give my poor sims some challenging things to deal with
+ true no idea where else they would throw the witch hats in anymore so TT let me just have them
If Island Living gets an overhaul the first place they need to start is Sulani and open up some of those closed lock areas that are just set dressing. To add features they will need to add more lots to place stuff on and I think a resort should be added. Also if they can I hope they'll open up the underwater so we can see our sims scuba diving.
This survey makes me think their in Sims 4 for the long haul now. I think we'll see content and packs for the next 3 years going out. I'm fine with that. I'm not ready for a new Sims Game right now cause I love 4.
