I'm one of those weirdos who actually doesn't want too much in the base game. Now, I don't mean I want it to be a bare-bones game with no pools or toddlers. I also want there to be a ton of Aspirations!
But I don't want a bunch of gimmicks that make my Sims' lives difficult. I like that TS4 is easy, and while I think it could use more personality and variety in interactions, traits, and autonomous behaviors, I'm hoping we won't get something that's insanely difficult like the first Sims game. I like to create a ton of new Sims, and it gets rather tedious when they all start burning the house down the first time they cook. I also remember that in the first Sims game (and, to a lesser extent, Sims 2), it was insane trying to keep all their motives high.
I think a good solution would be a "Woes and Misfortunes" pack for those who really want a difficult challenge. With no new Aspirations, please, so I won't be forced to buy it, haha.
