Honestly, I really want some improvements and additions for the Child stage and the Teen stage as well. Children are still missing a lot of the more fun social interactions they used to have in previous games, like playing Catch, Tag, and Cops and Robbers. I'd also like to see jump ropes introduced so they can jump alone, get together with two or three other kids and play together, or get two ropes and some friends and jump Double Dutch (also good all-ages content). Pool games need to make a return too, for all of our sims.
For Teens, I really want to be able to have true, As-Seen-On-T.V., Wild Teen Parties. Also, the mall is something I voted for mainly for more Teen gameplay. I mean, I know teenagers these days don't hang out at the mall as much as Gen X and Millennials did, but teens kicking it at the mall is such an iconic thing that I can't help but long for it in my game.
I know most people put Babies at the top of their list, but I only want extra gameplay for Babies if they can be truly fleshed out this time. I mean, even in TS2 and TS3, they always felt like objects to me because all you can really do with them is feed them, toss them in the air, snuggle them, wash them, change their diapers, and put them to sleep. I never took them out of the nursery anyway, since I just popped a fridge and a trash can in there to make feeding faster (when you build big houses like I do, dragging the kid from the nursery to the fridge for a bottle is a real pain in the butt). If they were to improve Babies, I want to see play mats, learning to crawl, learning to sit up, developing object permanence, putting every blasted thing in their mouths, first words, personality types, that sort of stuff. I don't just want the Babies out of the crib to drag around the house like a babydoll, I want them to finally DO stuff. Otherwise, I'm fine with them glued to the bassinet, since the crib was where my Babies were 99.9% of the time in the other games anyway.
