I am also interested in more extreme weather, but I am not interested at all in having my house wiped and having to rebuild it. Basically, it would need to be in a way that a reasonable player could prevent it, or let chaos reign if they please. Pure, unstoppable punishment style consequences are not fun.
As for what I do want... It is hard to explain. I want more humor. More grittiness. I do not need senseless death or extra tedium for the sake of it, but if they were done well I would not turn them down either. The Sims 4 largely feels as though as if it does not earn its T for Teen rating when I look at its company in that category. Asking for death, destruction, and other mature themes directly I could see as a bit too on the nose, but all I know is if this is a game about representation my real life story is too dark to have any proper sort of accuracy. Granted, I myself am not too sure how much of that I actually want in the game, but I think we could start with not all Sims feeling like lambs. Maybe I might want some darkness proper if Sims could bother to offend me.
It also just occured to me that I cannot even imagine Sims 4 to have a pack titled "Hot Dates," as in the original. I think that kind of demonstrates how far we've come, no?
