For “The Next Evolution of The Sims” Aka Project X or Sims 5

So I was reading EA basically confirming the rumors in PR speak about what is likely Project X. I would like to make a few suggestions for the upcoming project. Presuming it will be a Sims 4 replacement (which is still undetermined) I have my wishes, which I made into a magnum opus post about a year or so ago. I'll give the abridged list.

Here are my prioritized wish list

Base Game

  • Open World
    • Should be big enough to add lots when new packs come out
    • Lots can be moved and will snap to road if adjacent 
    • Lots can snap to each other
      • Ex: Large Lot with a Mansion and smaller Lot to add a Hedge Maze
    • Open Water for Swimming & Boating 
  • Specificity in Community Lot Window
    • Lot & Sub Lot Categories - I don't want something to just say "Bar" I would like the Bar Type to be in the Drop Down Description. I'd also like a small variation in the Lot Thumbnail similar to Sims 3 
      • Bar 
        • Billards Bar
        • Dive Bar
        • Karaoke Bar
        • Piano Lounge
        • Pub
        • Ice Bar
        • Vampire Lounge
    • Community Lot Information Window
      • Address
      • Hours of Operation 
      • Ownership
      • Lot Traits 
  • Color Wheel & Create A Pattern - Sims 3 level of Customization for objects 
    • EX:

        • Bed Frame
        • Pillows
        • Sheets
        • Bedspread
        • Bed Skirt
  • Seasons Basics
    • Similar to Sims 2 - planned Climates/Seasons per world 
      • This will greatly enhance the ambiance of the various worlds 
    • Temperature - That effects Sims AND Pets 
      • Temperature Display 
      • Range of Comfort 
    • Ailments & Illness Due to Weather 
      • Alleriges
      • Freezing
      • Heat Exhaustion
      • Heat Stroke 
      • Hit By Hail
      • Struck by Lightning 
    • Basic Weather - with new weather types introduced in subsequent pack as it pertains to the pack. 
      • Base Game Weather 
        • Hot Summer

Future Expansion Notes 

  • Pets - Personally I think Cats & Dogs (at least a few breeds each at first) should be in BG. New Breeds coming in Updates and later packs especially if the breeds are from the general area a new world introduces. 
    • Cats & Dogs should have clothing categories of their own
      • Rain Gear
      • Cold Weather 
      • Collars 
        • Should have a Lot of Fun Designs how about doing a collaboration with Foggy Dog 
      • Costumes
      • Swimming & Boating Gear 
      • Work Uniforms 
    • Dogs should come in 5 breed sizes
      • Xtra Small - Chihuahuas & Yorkies
      • Small - Cavaliers, Mini Schnauzers
      • Medium - Standard Schnauzers
      • Large - Labradors, German Shepherds 
      • X-tra Large - Great Danes 
    • Temperature should effect pets in interesting ways 
      • Cats & Dogs loving the Fireplace when its burning 
      • Snow being enjoyable to some pets and others are like, nope
    • Pet jobs should make a come back 
      • Acting
      • Farm & Ranch
      • Military
      • Police
      • Search & Rescue
      • Therapy
    • Veterinarian should be a Medical Career
      • Sims 4 had as a skill and that was dumb
    • Community Lots we should have Associated with Pets
      • Cat Cafe
      • Dog Park
      • Grooming Spa
      • Pet Cemetery 
      • Pet Store
      • Vet Clinic
  • NPC Animals 
    • Types 
      • Birds - with exception to Pet birds would be fine if they were confined 
        • Bird Baths
        • Feeders
        • The Sky as an animation
      • Chipmunks & Squirrels - Its fine if they are similar to Sims 3 
      • Deer
      • Dolphin 
      • Fox 
      • Owls 
      • Rabbits
      • Sea Rays 
      • Sea Turtles 
      • Skunk
      • Wolves
    • Special Notes 
      • Please make them move, sound and act just like their real life counterparts. Please don't make them Dog or Cat clones.
      • They shouldn't totally have to be tied to an object 
      • They should reside where it would be realistic and beneficial to have them 
  • Occults - I don’t mind them being in different packs as long as they are thoroughly fleshed out. Powers and abilities being a learned tiered things was genius
    • Vampires - Sims 4 was just about perfect in terms of powers, weaknesses, and look. Here is the only suggestions I would make.
      • Keep the all the Sims 4 Powers and most especially
        • Speed
        • Strength
        • Bat Form
        • Mist Form  
      • Vampires should abhor Silver. Wearing silver should make them smoke the same as sunlight.
      • Cannot enter unless invited
      • Evil Vampires should wilt flowers in passing and scare animals. According to lore hunters used to use pure white horses to find their graves. How about an aversion to white horses and unicorns.   
      • Eclipsing Fog from Sims 3 should be a Vampire Power
      • The two different styles of teeth was perfect. Nosferatu Fangs vs normal fangs
      • Vampire should have a boost in learning Alchemy like in Sims 3 
      • Evil Vampires should respond to the Question of where did you go to University with Scholomance, which is where Dracula is said to have been taught
      • Keep the garlic, the wreaths and garlands, the scent and the Vampire Aversion
      • Consider adding Bat Houses with bat animations at dawn and dusks with Bat SFX 
      • Always have Graveyards & Cemetery Lots  (there is a subtle difference between the two)
        • Tomb Rabbit Hole 
        • Once in a while a Sims 3 World Adventures style tomb to discover 
    • Spell Casters /Witches
      • I’d make the spells/powers more exciting
      • Spell ClassesWere a great idea just need more classes 
        • Add Enchanting & Divination
      • Enchanting & Cursing Objects 
        • Enchanting adds benevolent spells 
        • Cursing add malevolent spells
          • "Bad Luck" - Cursed Item cause things to break in the house
          • "Lord of the Flies" - Causes a Fly infestation which has the potential to cause a Fly Swarm death 
          • "Haunted Host" - Cursed Item draws a poltergeist to the lot
      • Familiars should have had more going on with them. You couldn’t even talk to them or interact in a meaningful way.  
      • I think Alignments from Sims 2 should return along with spells and familiars exclusive to each Alignment. There can be other familiars bonded with (like family Pet’s) however the three listed are exclusive 
        • Owls - Neutral
        • Ravens - Evil
        • Phoenix - Good  
      • Dueling should not be exclusive to Witches, it should take place between all magic users. 
      • Sims 3 had the best Magic Store. I’m bored of kiosks.
      • I think not only would it be cool to have a separate Alchemy Skill to make potions, I also think crafting and Enchanting our own wands would be more fun.
      • I’d bring back the Fortune Teller Career back with any witch pack
        • Caravan 
        • Caravan Radio Channel
        • Fortune Teller Services
          • Astrology 
          • Aura Reading 
          • Crystal Ball Divination
          • Gris-Gris Bags & Charms Against Occults
          • Love Potion #9
          • Medium Skill
          • Palmistry
          • Tarot Reading 
          • Tasseography
    • Werewolves
      • I'd give a bit more flexibility to designing the Ears & Snout. Perhaps with allowing a bit more length to them
      • Like Vampires Werewolves have an aversion to Silver 
  •  Hotels 
    • Community Lot Type & Booking Window and a very basic Front Desk & Hotel Door and Concierge NPC should be added to Base Game. This is so that at least very basic hotels can be added to any vacation style world. 
    • All the perks of running a hotel should be in the game pack  
      • Maid Service
      • Custom Room Service Menu & Room Service Delivery 
      • Themed, beautiful Front Desks
      • Various kinds of Rooms, Suites and Villas
