What kind of Sims 5 would be your ideal?

To do and have all the things I had in sims3 but without the problems.

Here's what I would like to see for Sims 5:

From Sims 1:

Horoscopes

A great soundtrack








From Sims 2:

Create A World

Apartments

Something like Open For Business


From Sims 3:

Open World

Create A Style(for Sims,pets and objects)


From Sims 4

The easy-to-use basements tool

Create you own clubs

Create your own holidays

Festivals(but you get to create and control them)


Other:

Pets(cats,dogs,fish,birds and reptiles)

A varied amount of venues in the base game(movie theater,game arcade,library,diner,etc).

No more of plunking bars,museums,gym or libraries into every single pack that's made.

A variety of good careers(military,dental/medical,education,etc)

Ghosts,toddlers and pools should be in the base game.

Babies not being boring objects tied to the bassinet.

Community lots should be just like the ones in Sims 1: You could put a variety of different venues on the same lot.

A variety of different musical instruments(electric guitars,drums,banjos,trumpets,etc).

Ugh! My keyboard is broken and I've got this entire post NEARLY typed out 3 times now and accidentally lost it before it goes through!

Anyways...

Art Style like Sims 4.

Personalities like Sims 4 but upgraded - give us more slots for personality traits instead of just 3 and also give each trait a few etra unique interactions and autonomous moodlets and behaviours.

Relationships like Sims 4 except add in non-mutual relationships so that my teen can have a crush on his neighbour and she doesn't have to like him back and my kid can hate her stepmum who loves her etc.

Animations like Sims 2. More naturual movements, way better at interacting with each other. Bring back slow dancing and kids dancing on parents feet etc.

Aging, new, gradual: Make a baby diff from a 1 year old diff from a 2 year old etc. Sims just gradually look and act older.

World: Closed. I don't like Open.

CAS: No colour wheel unless there's a huge focus on swatches still too for those of us that prefer that. If we could have options then I hope they add colour wheel for those that want it.
Also, let me hide all items I'd never use, or delete them from my game. THere's sooo many CAS and build items now that I'd never use and sometimes it's hard finding what I do want. Of course, also allow us to readd them at a later date if we desire.

Memories back properly

No cut scenes. Or else able to toggle them off.

In fact, more toggles. Toggles for occults, deaths, celebrities, etc.

Essentials
All life stages having equal content in terms of gameplay, CAS, and BB objects.
2 stages for each life stage; one representing the younger years and the second, the older years. And no life stage as an object.
Lots of group gameplay and family activities.
Less focus on technology and no trends. More normal jobs, with realistic job tasks (aka, not everything needs a computer).
Gameplay, CAS, and BB items which reflects time periods before 2015.
Realistic chores: grocery shopping, home improvements, etc.
Actual personalities: Traits that actually make the sims act different, likes and dislikes, zodiac signs, dating preferences that can be set, and a system of desires with depth that make sense based on the sim's personality (aka, not wanting to buy something every 5 seconds unless the sim is materialistic. Deep desires such as wanting to get married, move to a new house, get a new job, etc).
Difficulty options (an easier mode would be similar to TS4, where toddlers, kids, and teens can raise themselves and never need their parents for anything. All refrigerators naturally come stocked with endless food and there's never a need to go grocery shopping. A harder mode would make it so parents need to care for their children by cooking for them and putting them to bed and must shop for food for the house.)
Options to turn off occults.
Cars.


Bonus
Ability to have higher order multiples. Up to sextuplets. (Maybe more if we get a higher max household size).
Open world if it can function well enough. If not, open neighborhood at least.
Optional patches.

Let's say its not going to be an MMO or whatever, but what kind of Sims 5 would be perfect in your eyes?

For me:

• 
  
  • A sophisticated personality system that reflects well in game
    
  • Traits are a bonus to the personality, small habits the sim has. 2 positive traits, 2 negative (like bad at cleaning, but a charmer)
    
  • An attraction system
    
  • Wants and fears that reflect whats going on in the game and tied to that sim's personality
    
  • Basics of every EP in the game. For example, the main game has cats and dogs. But the expansion would add other animals. Base game has rain and snow, but the expansion can add major natural events (volcano spill, flooding etc)
    
  • Excellent CAS system (I think S4 has the best of the 3)
    
  • Coveted build mode options,objects, and npcs (Spiral stairs, curved roofs, heart bed, genie, tragic clown, crumplebottom etc)
    
  • Plenty of detailed animations like the sims 2
    
  • Maxis humor and consequences like in ts1
    
  • Open neighborhoods, not worlds. For me in open world when I visit a lot it's never populated enough. With neighborhoods I think it's a good balance. Loading screens do not bother me.
    
  • The ability to take photos and create an album in game with an option to write, like in TS2. You could edit your photos in game and upload your stories to the site directly through the game.
    
  • Can create your own neighboorhoods, community lots, etc can set down your own plots of land like TS2
    
  • The toggle system for some aspects of the game like TS3
    
  Basically the beauty of TS4, the customization of TS3, the depth of TS2, and the charm and difficulty of TS1

That line sums it up for me right there what I'd like to see in TS5.

-Open neighborhoods
-Attraction system
-An option to have more than one type of venue in one community lot
-And more types of community lots
-Trait system with more depth
-More job options, including actual jobs that we see in the game like bartender at an actual bar, or working on a vending stall
-Being able to buy multiple houses
-Have vacation worlds that worked like sims 2 or 3
-Have the ability to completely change a word, or building one from scratch
-More complex relationships
-More stuff for babys, toddlers, kids and teenagers to do
-Sims 5 should come with the seasons, but not necessarily any weather conditions. This could be added in a game pack later.
-Apartments like sims 2
-Maybe small pets included;cats, dogs and horses could be added in a game pack
-Sickness
-Better and more complex emotions
-Private schools

Thats all I can remember now :)

-Open neighborhoods like 3, but all connected like 4. Option to designate worlds as home or destination.
-More extensive family relationships, including step-families. More focus on relationships.
-Customization in CAS & build/buy
-Make pets playable when we get them
-For homework children & teens should have to do something that builds skill, like make a painting or work out or even upgrade a sink, no more scribbling in a notebook, that's a waste of time.
-More options to turn off unwanted interactions.
-Cemeteries

Yeah, I do like TS4, but for me it would be to combine Sims 4 and 2. Let's just say there are some cool features I miss from TS2!

(Warning: this is going to be very long :/ Please excuse typos and such.)

My ideal Sims 5 game would take the best features from the series and expand on them. It's a long list. But, IMO, it's not unreasonable.

• I would like open worlds (or, at the very least, open neighborhoods of no less than ten lots).
  

• I would like to see CAS and build modes as robust as TS4's along with the CFE cheat from TS2 and TS3 and terrain manipulation as base game features.
  

• The developers need to leave some of the world-building to the players. In other words, official worlds should be generic enough that players can turn them into anything that they desire. That includes providing the option to customize areas that are off lot! I want the devs to go easy on all of those backgrounds and fake buildings that serve no purpose. In fact, don't use them at all unless the background is way off in the distance, as in TS3. If the team has to create fake buildings the buildings should serve a purpose other than as aesthetic fillers.
  

• While designing the game, the engineers/devs should make plans for an eventual CAW and player-created worlds. Players don't have the same budget and technical constraints as the design team has. So allow the talented creators in the community to do what they do best!
  

• The game needs more than one urban world. IRL, many people in the world live in cities. Not everyone can identify with TS4's version of idyllic suburban bliss. Which brings me to: the game should allow players to customize lot sizes and location. As well, lots should be allowed to touch so that players can create row houses and storefronts.
  

• Along the same vein, players should be allowed to build to the edge of lots again -- walls, and fences.
  

• All worlds should be residential with the option to temporarily rent a lot or to stay in a hotel. Second homes would be awesome, too.
  

• Hopefully, TS5 will have worlds that are representative of a broader swath of countries and cultures.
  

• TS5 shouldn't tell players how to build venues. Allow the players to choose what they want on a lot, not the game engine. Allow Sims to use objects based on traits, not the type of venue.
  

• Players should be allowed to build apartments and to see immediate neighbors without a loading screen.
  

• I would love, love, LOVE to see neighbors do all kinds of things. Children should be outside playing tag, hopscotch, tossing frisbees, etc. If there's a clothesline in the yard, I'd like to see the neighbors putting the clothes out or taking them down, that sort of thing. It's time to move beyond neighbors who simply walk past the house.
  

• There needs to be consistency in the game. All Sims need schedules. Children who aren't in school during school hours should be treated as truants who need to evade adults. And they certainly don't belong up in the club. If my Sim is speaking to someone on the phone, the other Sim should be on the phone, too.
  

• I need customization for CAS items such as hair and skin tone. Furnishings should have separate swatches for the upholstered parts.
  

• CAS should allow for more relationships such as in-laws and stepchildren/parents. Extended and blended families are commonplace. That should be reflected in the game.
  

• I would love TS2's personality system, including wants/fears and favorites in the base game.
  

• It's time to have an attraction system in the base game.
  

• There should be more housekeeping chores because the maid in TS4 is practically useless and slobs need more ways to illustrate their sloppiness. Belching and farting don't do it for me.
  

• There should be cloudy and rainy days in the base game.
  

• Every single life stage should be represented and fully fleshed out from the beginning. It should be entertaining to play every life stage from toddler to senior. If TS2 could do it, every game in the series should be designed to provide the same.
  

• There needs to be more recognition of family connections, including a tag that allows the player to see all members of an extended family at once. If we can see all of our Sims' friends, we should be able to see family members as well and for the Sims to acknowledge them as family. I haven't seen this feature since TS2, however, it was integral to my kind of gameplay.
  

• I would like to see an optional story progression that keeps NPCs from aging and dying off with no offspring to replace them.
  

• I would also like to see options to turn off occults in specific saves. I would like to see more options as a whole.
  

• No culling!
  

• On a related note, stop bloating the world with game-created NPCs. Allow players to assign roles such as mailperson, maids, babysitters, to existing NPCs and player-created Sims.
  

• At this point in technological advancement, more than eight family members should be allowed in a household and pets should not be included in that number.
  

• If there are traits, they should be meaningful, affecting behavior, interactions, and relationships.
  

• Transportation should be in the base game, public and private, for all ages. Cars, motorcycles, bikes, tricycles, push toys for toddlers, strollers, and wagons to bring along the kiddies. I would like to see it all.
  

• It's also time for an optional summer vacation for the kids and more playground equipment. The stuff that came with TS4 is wholly inadequate. Bigger doesn't mean better.
  

• Speaking of bigger, I would like the designers to stop creating unnecessarily large objects. Never do it again. Please!
  

• I would love to see more arcade machines so that players can build arcades for teens and YAs. I would like to see more activities for teens, period. Lan parties, Sims versions of D&D sessions, board games, card games, skateboarding, etc. Trading cards would be cool.
  

• I would like to see more pool activities. Pools are useful for more than swimming. There can be pool games, pool toys, floats, slides, even water aerobics for the health-conscious. I'd like to see diving boards make a comeback. As well, it would be nice to see Sims diving or jumping into the pool from off the sides.
  

• If the design team decides to pick a theme, I would like them to go all out like they used to. The devs/EA need to stop trying to stuff large themes into things like stuff packs.
  

• I would like TS5 to be the end of the practice of squashing themes into packs that aren't big enough to do them justice. I would like TS5 to go back to great expansion packs that fleshed out a single theme and provided for years of replayability.
  

• I would like cross-pack integration and compatibility to be a priority again.
  

That's the stuff off the top of my head. I'm sure that I could think of so much more. Yet, more than anything, I need TS5 to be an engrossing single-player experience that puts an emphasis on fun gameplay and player choice above everything else. Otherwise, the Sims series will come to an end for me. I would honestly hate such an incredible series to end on TS4, a game which, IMO, never lived up to the quality of its predecessors.

I think the game play of the sims 2, (I've heard great things about it) and the graphics of the sims 4 (but with non CC sims 3-like hair).
