What is the next expansion pack you are hoping for?

Seasons please. I am so tired of waiting for the weather pack.

I think that Seasons is probably going to be the last pack that I ever buy for this game. If I'm not happy with it (historically always my favorite EP of any version), I'll know that that's it for me and TS4.

Having said that, the EP will need to add certain things that I have been expecting since the very beginning, such as lounge chairs! Geez, they're way past due. Swimming in the ocean, is another must. That should include snorkeling activities, at the least.

For winter, I would like to see the return of houselights. It was so beautiful to see the neighborhoods covered in snow and the houses, all so warm and inviting with glowing lights on the eaves.

I'm a pluviophile. I enjoy all sorts of rain -- soft and warm, misty and chill, driving, gusting, windy and LOUD, lightning and thunder. I'd like to see all of these types of rain. Except, that except for rainy season (spring) there shouldn't be rain practically every day. The same thing with snow, let there be soft snowfalls and blizzards where the Sims need to hunker down at home in front of the fireplace, possibly with a power outage.

I'm not asking for a lot, as far as weather is concerned. I only expect verisimilitude in that area. Little details mean everything.

For the expansion - Season. I believe we get somu new Supernatural content, but I feel they stay with the game packs on that. Maybe with more than one type of creatures, but still the GP.

I was all ready to vote university and then I saw historical/futurisitic and I couldn't decide between them.
I don't mind seasons but it does mean I have to make sure my roofs don't leak. And I am lazy at building. Besides, I already have to keep my vampires corralled in daytime. Having to keep an eye on sims freezing or cooking is not so much fun. But I would be annoyed if we had seasons and the sims couldn't die of cold or heat. So I guess I'm ambivalent about seasons.

I think weather should have been in the base game, not seasons specifically, but that's just me. Occasional rainstorms and the possibility of a lightning strike are appealing (but again, roofs...sigh).

I like university because it gives a heads up opportunity...though I think I agree it needs to be in with something else if it's an EP not a GP.

I really love the idea of a historical world, although I would want historical Japan, and I guess I'm probably alone in that weirdness...

It's not just you, I wish that had happened as well. :)

Down the road, EA could have still sold a Seasons pack, including all the new mechanics and objects that entailed. However, at this point in the series, something as pervasive as weather should have been available in the base game.

I feel the same way about swimming in the bodies of water that exist throughout the worlds -- it should have been available from the word go. If fishing is always possible, why not swimming?

Meh.

Seasons is the one I'm truly waiting for.

I'm curious to see what they could do with a School/University EP (maybe a school gp and uni ep...i dunno lol.). But I'd rather them figure that out more lol.

I'm also hopeful for a love pack as well.

But seasons is the big one for me. It always has been one of the big EP's I've waited for. Vacations are nice, but there's just something about seasons that captures me. I guess it's just something about whether that enhances me, and to see it usually well simulated in a game...it sometimes takes my breath away with how they do it.

TS2 seasons blew my mind as a kid. TS3 seasons was almost an addiction for me lol like when it was announced I played the trailer in heavy rotation. I haven't had that epic excitement feeling for the sims in a loong time....well actually I did for toddlers and Parenthood :lol: . Because like Seasons, they blew my mind, I couldn't believe all of the features. From the tiny things to the really huge details, It really surprises me.

And that's honestly what i'm hoping for when it comes to Seasons. I'm hoping for that 'wow' factor feeling for me. <3

Honestly, I want all of these lol But I chose World Adventures because I feel like we definitely need more vacation spots and this could tie into Seasons or a tropical getaway (maybe cruise :smiley: ). I'm just tired of camping all the time lol I also think that with World Adventures, it could add some variety and depth to the game, like for example, someone mentioned in a different post the idea of a cultural skill, learning new languages or local gestures, foreign recipes, dances, etc. It could introduce beaches, hotels, honeymoons, and much more.

Seasons. I miss the changing weather and the holidays. Not to mention the beaches, ice skating, and leaf jumping!

University was my favorite Sims 3 expansion, but I think I enjoyed it so much is because I played it with Seasons installed. It made my game seem like a real school year. So Seasons should come first.

While I'm not a big fan of a Seasons EP, I hope you all get what you're looking for. My only objection to that EP is because it invariably adds a lot of lag to the game. At least, in previous EP it has for me. Of course, times are different these days, by the time this EP becomes a reality, I'll probably be on board with it no matter what.

Still mostly stoked for a Uni/Education GP/EP the most.

I'm going to be honest and say it will probably be seasons. But honestly I could without it. I find seasons more of a nuisance in the game. Nothing exciting really happens. There isn't floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, or blizzards to create that sense of danger with the changing seasons. Unlike with the open world in Sims 3 I just don't think they can recreate that feeling of bliss during the winter with being able to play anywhere in the snow with my sims.

When voting it was close between university and world adventures. I love university but I feel like world adventures would be better before university. Because then in a university there could be more diversity in the game. Diversity has been a huge issue in the sims that has been changing slowly and has made great changes in Sims 4. I would love to have international students from the locations in a world adventures pack. I miss going to different 'countries' in the sims and having quests (though I admit they were mostly annoying) and being able to really feel like there is are different sim cultures. It adds so much more than just diversity alone.
