I'm going to be glad when sims 4 is over and done so I can mod it to death to fix the abysmal state it is in.

I can't be bothered doing it now with "live service" and having to update mods after every patch every month.

And they better add casinos and cruises, and slow dancing, and fix personalities and traits. And add more vacations. And a couple more worlds.

ETA...and farming.

I'll be good with that to make this my final sim game.

It ends for me here.

Funny story. One of the gurus said one of the ideas before they decided on Island Living was a cruise ship. Turns out, it tanked in the focus group.

So did TS1 when Will Wright presented it for evaluation. Focus groups are simply a tool, a sounding board, not the ultimate authority.

On the other hand, everyone thinks they're the majority. Most likely the number of people who actually see Sea Cruises as a "big thing" are less than 5% of players. I have never ever heard of wanting sea cruises before this post, and I have played Sims 4 since release day.

As for farming... what kind? The Farmville kind or actual farming? Because farming is one of the most hard-working required activates you can deal with.
I would be interested in farming only if it was implemented even remotely realistic; where you have to wake up at 4:30 in the morning, spend all day in the fields, have a (large) chance of losing a years (week in the Sims?) income if the weather is too hot / cold / dry or wet. Plus, no cutesy things, but you have to raise pigs or cows and then actually click on them and kill them to sell their meat for money if you want to do more than just wheat or corn.

And then of course during Winter you have 0 income and nothing to do, but still have to pay rent and repair equipment...
