Which themes you want for those 2020 packs?

@Karon I don't believe they are gonna go full "Farm Living", I think that it might instead be: small world (but with big lots to accommodate farms), a few new harvestable, a couple of farm animals (prob. chicken and cows, as pigs are a bit more controversial) and one or two side features (e.g. canning).
But I could be completely wrong of course! :p

@Karon I think it’s possible that horses may be coming not as pets (meaning not part of the household, less developed than in TS3), but rather farm animals that can be used as mean of transportation and that you have to take minimum care of (feed, clean), I think this version could fit in a game pack.
Again pure speculation on my part :) .

Honestly, I'd stop playing TS4 if that were the case. I've been waiting for horses since release.

2020
SPs: Tiny Living, Knitting
GPs: Free Time*, Winter Fun
EPs: Rural Living, Showtime**

*A hobby related game pack with pottery, cooking competitions, sewing, a new musical instrument to learn (e.g. drums), a new sport (e.g. volleyball, skateboard, surfing, ballet), new stuff for all ages (train set, hiking, bird watching).

** In cooperation with a globally (!) known star your Sims can live the lifestyle of the rich and famous. Along with their actor friends they can gain fame, live in expensive houses (new CAS and B/B), have some new traits (diva, stage-fright, natural born performer, vegan), buy and drive a sports car, have fans and stans, give great performances as solo artists (singers) or as bands (different record labels available).

Farming, romance, hotels and and updated whims would make me go back to the game.

Literally all I 100% need is Winter Vacation. Preferably not half baked and definitely an EP. We could have lodges and actual house so you can choose if you want to vacation or to live there. I don’t think it being a vacation world would cut it.
Set in Alaska, it needs to include snowboarding, sledding, a functional ski lift, trees, death by crashing into a tree (if not, severe injury and ski patrol will be called to take you away). Resident critters would be meese, mountain goats and deer. All these animals should be interactable and befriendable, and if you upset them there should be deaths related to that. The whole pack should include stuff that you can do as a whole family, drink hot chocolates in front of a fire, have a snow pal building contest, build snow forts, maybe even igloos. There would be ski lessons, tours through the backcountry on sleds based on Inuit culture and tours. You could be pulled up by ski patrollers for high speeds and you could try to get away (high speed chases with three outcomes: caught, which comes with an embarrassed mood let, crashed into a tree which could result in injury or death and got away which comes with a confident moodlet). A ski instructor career with two branches: Ski Instructor: in which the instructor branch would be as you gain experience and become a professional (Highest Level could be Instructors Instructor or Backcountry Guide (both of which require the highest qualifications and many many years of training irl)), and Ski Patroller: these are the people that check the slopes are alright to open, pull up people when they’re going too fast, save people when they’re in trouble, etc.
A sample of the career branch could look like this (I snowboard and I have my instructor cert so this is partially accurate)
Base Branch
1. Shadow - this is a trainee position you basically just watch how a more experienced instructor teaches and chip in when they need help
2. Instructor’s Help - Act as a secondary instructor under the supervision of a more experienced instructor (passing this level could include a technical exam where they test your own skill)
3. Rookie - can only teach beginners on green runs (basically stuck on the magic carpet if anyone knows what that is)
4. Decent Instructor - all the description you need is in the name
Ski Instructor Branch
5. Certified Instructor - you can finally take high level classes
6. Private Coach - takes private lessons
7. Powder Guide/Instructor’s Instructor - Powder Guides go off piste (into uncharted/non mountain run areas where ski patrol doesn’t come rescue you) while the instructors instructors teach up and coming instructors
Ski Patroller Branch
5. Traffic Conductor - gives warnings and tickets to people going too fast on the slope
6. Run Closer - closes dangerous runs and marks hazards with a red pole
7. Rescue Team - rescues people that have gotten injured or stuck in the snow
As long as we get Winter Vacation I’m happy with Sims 4.
I wouldn’t mind (in this order):
Farm Living
Werewolves (instead of normal romantic relationships I would love mate bonds (you can cheat these to make them with people you want or the game can set them (they can be ignored, however the mate will be upset if they see you with your chosen spouse and you will be upset if you see them with their chosen spouse)).
Hotels
Generations
Hobbies
Stage Performances (singing, bands, etc)

Definitely want a Generations type EP with a free baby overhaul. If EA truly wants to please their audience, they should give us a baby overhaul.

THIS! Make them like the babies in TS Freeplay with genetics, CAS items and skills! I want them to learn how to sit up, how to crawl and have baby toys for them! I really expect babies in TS4 to be like that. I would be so disappointed if it were the same old similar babies who do nothing without genetics AGAIN, but you can move them between objects or something.

Also: farming, playable schools with preteens, music (bands and more instruments), resorts/hotels, more romance, winter vacation pack and of course: GENERATIONS! GENERATIONS! GENERATIONS! And more active careers.

^ Yes. I agree on everything except preteens. I'd rather have them remake teenagers so that they are their own lifestage and not just thinner versions of young adults. I don't want them to be the same height and basically be able to do everything that young adults and adults can do. Teens aren't their own life stage, they're just young adults who go to high school.

That would work for me too.

@Eliharb LOL but honestly... I would leave that... I never leave my house in SIms 4 cuz I HATE the freaking loading screens and sometimes I get bored cuz there's not enough stuff to do at home.

i feel like the sims5 just need to started like the rest but just add more details
