Something I want really, REALLY bad, but I don't think will ever be implemented, is a way to turn off the phones completely. This includes the apps, texts, calls, browsing, game-playing, the new walk, and just general face-in-the-screen animations. I hate them and just want my Sims to be able to actually turn off their phones, but they are so integrated with the UI that I don't think it will ever happen. It makes playing off-the-grid kind of obsolete.
On that note, I don't think we'll ever get land line phones either, which I'd love to put in as a replacement for the smart phones. I want to make these Sims talk to each other! Lol.
I also doubt we'll ever get an apocalyptic theme, and I also have my doubts about getting some type of actual crime and police, which leaves out my wish for real superheroes and villains. Which is a shame, since we have these "dead end" features like Kleptomaniac and Good/Evil traits, Villain studies, playable police, and upcoming breaking and entering in apartments. (I put these two themes together because lack of law and order usually leads to anarchy and crime spikes, thus a type of dystopian/apocalyptic society. But Sims 4 continues to be "optimistic" so I guess we just pretend that everyone laughs it off? Geh. Boring and also just...weird. What's the point of mischief and bad behavior if there's no punishment risk? It ceases to become "bad".
So I guess I also don't think we'll be getting actual consequential results like the previous games had. :(
