What do you want/expect in upcoming Generations (?) pack?

Expect: our speculation and rumour will turn into unrealistically high expectations all-round, and the forums will be vocally disappointed by the reality. It's what we're good at.

Want: new hats, perhaps!

My thoughts exactly. Which is why I'm excited but not going in with any wants, wishes, or expectations.

DITTO @Benjamilian and @simgirl1010 ! LOL

I do love reading what everybody is expecting and/or wishing for ...

But for me personally, because I know I've be super disappointed many times with TS4's versions of things, I've learned to expect the bare minimum then I'm never upset or disappointed and just shrug it off and move on.

Now, there has been a few times that I've been pleasantly surprised when it turns out better than I imagined.

Even if we didn't speculate and just waited for the pack to drop, we could still be disappointed. It'll inevitably be compared with Generations, which was one of the best Sims 3 packs. And The Sims 4 doesn't have the best track record.

As for what I want:

• More kids' games, especially things that can be done with groups of kids.
  
• Walking canes
  
• Strollers
  
• Inheritance system
  
• Treehouses
  
• More after-school activities
  
• Tea parties
  
• Dress-up chests
  
• Some way for kids/teens to develop interests in certain career paths. It would be a great way to give sims personalities and have them play a more active role in their own lives. (It'd be a passing interest that you can choose not to develop, so it's not railroad-y)
  
• Activities geared towards elders, even if other ages can do them (bingo, water aerobics, scrapbooking, puzzles, golf)
  
• Field trips (rabbit holes, can be ties to the above)
  
• Dentures
  
• Board games
  
• Video cameras
  
• A way to take a family photo when you have a lot of sims.
  
• A way for same-sex or infertile sims to have biological children, without the use of cheats
  
• Teens throwing house parties, and the risk of getting caught
  
• Midlife crises
  
• The tooth fairy
  
• Daycare active career
  
• I wouldn't mind if they threw in imaginary friends
  

It would also please me if it is explicitly a Generations pack, but based on the movie Star Trek: Generations. Mortimer Goth goes out in a blaze of glory and Mrs. Crumplebottom struggles with a new emotion chip. New hairdo: Frenchly bald.

-More child aspirations
-Teen and elder specific aspirations (I think High School Years has teen aspirations but I didn't buy that)
The ability to assign preferred seating at the kitchen table/living room per sim
-Canes/mobility aids/scooters for elders
-More activities aimed at kids and toddlers
-Bikes/little cars for kids and toddlers, trikes for toddlers
-More anything for elders
-More facial hair
-Hats that actually cover the ears
_More facial details, and more body details (especially this one - I might get werewolves at some point but I don't have it yet).

I’d like :
- More family interactions,
- Sleepovers/slumber parties
- Tree Houses
- Mid-life crisis
- Canes
- The tooth fairy
- Memories
- Being able to take family portraits

Amongst other things.

Events associated with family such as life events like funerals or family get togethers or reunions. More family drama included with the moods system and wants and fears, more family tree options in create a sim, such as step brothers and sisters, fiancé, etc. more in game challenges presented such as sibling rivalry. An old folks home for the elderly or some kind of old folks community home. Elder events such as bingo. More family interactions that cause drama or fun. A new career that pertains to family such as a family therapist maybe. A memory system and family book that keeps track of sims big life events, a lot of these would have to do with family and those closest to them. A bio for each individual sim you can write. In case you quit playing and forget what your purpose was for creating them. Sims recognizing family members as being family and not just a friend or another sim. I’m hoping for something new for each life stage that adds gameplay.

Oooooooh, you know what would be fun? A StrangerVille-esque questline for a kids' aspiration. The idea is to make friends, go on an adventure and solve a mystery. Basically, your kids are just doing various mundane things, or exploring mundane locations. But they're using their imaginations to pretend that they're on some epic quests. Each stage of the aspiration revolves around one event in the story they've made up, and reaching the end of the story finishes the aspiration. At the end of the adventure, you get a trait related to bravery, or maybe a trait that boosts creativity-based skills.

It's be a cute, unique time-waster that would reflect what it's like to be a kid. It's also an experience unique to children.

What Do I Expect?
Maybe more for children and a dentist career.

What I'm hoping for
Hopscotch
Slides
See Saws that adults can use as well
New Lot Types aka Cinemas,Zoos,Aquarium Exibits etc.
Midlife Crisis
New Family Relations in CAS and to include boy/girlfriend
Romance interactions in bed.
More romantic poses for our phone cameras. There aren't enough.
Online Dating and Attaction and Chemistry. Generations Gameplay can include sims dating and falling in love.
Swimmable Oceans or Lakes in the new world and waterfalls as well especially massave ones like Niagara Falls.
