Try Something New With The Sims 5?

I want to know if people are ready to see the Sims with a new twist, or if they are content with the modern theme.

If/when they do get around to creating a Sims 5, which of the following themes would get you most excited?
  • I absolutely love the magic and fantasy in The Sims, but I like that its in a modern setting. I would never object to EPs dedicated to that though. You really can't find any other game like this for fantasy characters.
  • I love the modern/contemporary setting. I like the realistic and relatable feel of it, but I also like that it would allow for urban fantasy/paranormal romance and contemporary fantasy stories. :smile:
  • I would'nt mind another Modern Day Sims game,but maybe a Fantasy Pack would be intresting to play with in Sims 5
  • I think that the Sims is very much a life simulation game so to have it in the future or medieval as the base game kind of defeats the purpose as well as limits game play. I think those maybe would work as World alternatives, but if the base game was based in the future or medieval times it would limit what packs you could have and how you play.

    EDIT: When I commented I had not read any previous comments. I retract my "limit game play" comment because clearing some people are much more imaginative than me. I do think that the option to choose would be cool rather than just having one set style.

    I'd like to see Sims 5 start somewhere in the future but not too far in the future. I'd like to see the game pick up where the kids of the Legacy Sims we love have aged to adults and see where their lives have gone. Like Alexander Goth is adult and heir to the Goth fortune while Cassandra had a baby with Don Lothario but he didn't want to commit. Or if Angela married Dustin and Lilith married Dirk or rather they didn't. It would be interesting to see where some of the premade families have developed in these years.

    The base game needs to be modern day. This is the winning formula in the sims series.

    I'd like those other ideas as spin offs (I am one of those people that really liked Sims Medieval :P) but not for TS5.
