Perfect The Sims 5 Base Game

I mean all of the above would be the most amazing and ideal, but I know EA would never :D I chose my answer mainly because cars and swimming pools are a must. I really hope with all of their competitors in the life sim genre making their games open world, that they would choose to do the same. But even open neighborhoods is better than what TS4 has given. Also in regards to the bookstore, I think there should definitely be active shopping lots that let you shop for multiple things, or at least have a basic shopping district to buy basic things such as new books, instruments, clothing, groceries and flowers for maybe different table centerpieces or just bouquets to give as gifts. The possibilities seem endless, but also my bar is so extremely low because of how EA seems to cut corners and rush things just to make quick money, so yeah haha.

Aliens are critically important for me in the game. I need to know that EA hasn't forgotten the occults that have been in it from the beginning.

I don't care that much if features are included with DLC rather than the base game, I only want the DLC to be well integrated into the existing game rather than off on its own separate island. We shouldn't have multiple farming/growing systems that don't overlap, or farming not effected by seasons, or multiple cooking skills/jobs that don't overlap. We shouldn't have a university degree that doesn't give you access to high-education jobs like professor and doctor. The problem with putting this stuff into DLC, for me, is not the money, it's the disjointed "flat" experience from not integrating new DLC properly into existing content.

All above

Bugs :D

I really like how completing wants give you rewards points to be spent in the reward store. I like being able to give my sims special traits and potions so they can do better. Fears is okay if I only get them once. I can't stand getting the same one 5 times.

Also all the life stage
Baby (but no object baby but babies in Sims 2 and 3.)
Infants
Toddlers
Child
Preteen
Teen
Young Adult
Adult
Middle aged
Elder.

ditto... :)

I feel like seasons and pets should be included in base game. of course all life stages.

To me, making the Sims seem as if they live and breathe is most important in any life simulation game. It doesn't make sense to have to wait years for particular emotions or trait types. For example, TS4 is nearly ten years old and a shy trait still doesn't exist. (Shy and loner traits are not the same at all, if that is what EA was thinking.)

I would like EA to hire a psychologist again, in order to help them to create believable and distinct personalities, right from the start. If they can do that, I would consider the base game complete, as TS1 and TS2 were complete games upon launch. Everything else would be icing on the cake.
