What packs do you think we will never get?

I’ll start.

A vacation pack The game has worked hard to be more inclusive and that includes focusing on locals to worlds like in Island Living and Snowy Escape. There are location-dependant activities but they’re not vacations the same way as in previous iterations. That said, I do think we’ll get a hotel game pack similar to Dine Out (running your own hotel) at some point.

Safari Pack Safaris have a long history of colonialism and ignore the impact on the animals. There’s more ways to explore in an African-inspired world-I believe one of the previous surveys mentioned a South African city

Cars and horses The roads are very clearly not designed as roads. Sims walk randomly from point A to B in as short of path as possible, so every world would need to have a unique pathing system to be believable. With horses I don’t think this problem would exist because theoretically they’d function the same as bikes, but beyond a stuff pack what could you really do with horses that people will spend $30 on?

Carnivals, theme parks, etc I would love them but we got them in High School Years. They won’t expand on this system.

Medieval It’s too Eurocentric.

Preteen Pack To do preteens, every single animation would have to be height adjusted including for every pack. Infants can have unique animations so it’s not a problem but preteens are too time-consuming.

    They've been teasing horses a lot lately. It's most likely the next game pack.

    It's almost certain we won't get carnival pack because they seem to split carnival elements into separate packs. Like we have amusement park in High School Years and will have sort of water park in Growing Together.

    What's wrong with Europe? We have English Henford and Britechester, German/Scandinavian Windenburg, castle ruins. Not eveything is about the USA, you know.
    And horses are cars are 99% confirmed


    I have to admit, being from the United States, I enjoy seeing some packs I can identify with. The States are wide and varied, so even though there are several packs which seem like they are inspired from here, and though I have seen many of the states, that doesn’t mean I identify with them. Some like Granite Falls, Del Sol Valley, and Oasis Springs I can identify with, possibly even parts of San Myshuno. Other States which might be inspired by states in different parts of our country like Brindleton Bay or Copperdale, I don’t identify with any more than I would Windenburg ( though I have to admit Windenburg has always been my favorite town in the sims 4 ). I wouldn’t mind more towns from Europe, but I would also like to see more from places like Central/South America, the only pack from there is Jungle adventure, and unfortunately you can’t even live there. I think a pack from Africa would be neat too. I think some of the older architecture in Russia would be nice to see too, perhaps a pack with a town like Paris too. But right now I am really excited about San Sequoia, and I have a feeling that pack will definitely be inspired by Northern California. I hope that there are a few apartments/townhomes in it too.


    I understand and I know EA is American company and a lot of gamers are American, but us, gamers from other countries exist too and we want variety and representation in game
  • A cyberpunk, futuristic, radically improved Sixam with updated aliens. Preferably as an expansion (there’s no way you could pull off cyberpunk in anything less!)

    An orchestra pack. No one seems to be asking for it. Everyone just seems to want boring garage bands like we've had in the past. ?


    I still want both bands and orchestras! And choirs too!

    Dragon Valley (Dragons)

    We'll get dragons. Don't say otherwise or you might speak it into non-existence.

    I’m always up for more animals. I hope they throw some smaller one tile animals in there too like snakes, hermit crabs, tarantula, lizards, and then parrots or other birds in cages. I also hope that at least children through elder will be able to ride horses, and toddlers with parents, maybe babies on their sling with parents.

    There's 2 packs I'm worried we won't get thankfully cars is not one of them as I'm still holding onto when they said "cars, babies, farms, and bunk beds are not part of this EP. We understand how important these features are to you but we want to be honest that they are not part of this upcoming pack.” we have got farms bunk beds and soon babies infants as long as they were serious about how important they know cars are to us still my number one wanted feature in the game we will get it.

    A true vacation pack one with a working hotel system it's just too hard to imagine they ever give this to us seeing as we have seen 2 expansions and a game pack this theme would have perfectly fit into.

    A romance dating expansion like Hot Date or Nightlife

    I would like a true romance pack too, even if it is just a game pack hoping it includes romantic likes and dislikes like a chemistry scent system etc. I would also like to see things like romantic dinners, bear rug with romantic interactions and some more romance interactions. A nice romantic city would be nice. Playing footsies at a table, and some cute things like that.
