The Sims 5 should be about the city life

I wholeheartedly disagree.

A potential Sims 5 should give us the ability to create our own worlds. Not limit gameplay to one kind of world.
We do live in 2020 after all.

Well every city has the country side surrounding it

Sims 5 should be a smash up of all the great elements from previous sim games and mods.
Like open world s3
Story progression
Build mode and cas mode s4
Animation and babies s2
And consequences like s1 and s2
All life stages maybe add in a couple more
S2 cars
Heights
Things like pools, cars, life stages, firemen, police, newspapers, jobs etc should be with base game when it first arrives on the shelf.

The list goes on... feel free to add.

One personal want but probably will never happen: a lightly higher age rating so those elements from previous games like robbers and fish slapping are back.

Disagree, I like there being a diverse variety of worlds. I don't see Sulani for example fitting around a city location. I would however like to see more cities in the next game. One isn't really enough, I need more variety.

Not so much city life as neighborhood life for me.

I want to see my neighbors. I want to live in a street that actually feels alive. The world shouldn't revolve around the Sims I currently play. I want my neighbors to have a daily routine, I want to see them bring their kids to school, I want to see Bob's nextdoor mistress sneak into their house after the wife leaves for work, I want to see the kids play together and grow up together, I want to see marriage, divorces, parties they throw in their garden etc.

That's sorely lacking. Don't get me wrong, it has some positives too, but it's not immersive. It feels so dead in the Sims 4.

And where will my dragons, unicorns and werebeasts live? In the City Park with the pink trees? In the backyard? On my uncle’s ranch in the country side?
And how long will it take until I reach the desert or the jungle? Just a stroll around the block, turn left and you’ve reached your destination?
How big is this open world going to be without loading screens? I’m all for more cities mind you. But I wouldn’t like the new title to just revolve around living there.

I would like more city life but don't want that to be the whole theme of the game. Urban is great for some Sims, for others it's not. Right now I'm playing a mix in one world in TS2 in a world I built. However, after I put more than half my Sims in that world (in an urban section in the center of the world) in apartment buildings I have started to add more houses to the surroundings farther away since I getting tired of switching and playing each apartment. It's starting to get annoying, lol, seeing them all out on the street (my other Sims) and they aren't going to work but just hanging out there all day like bums. In TS3 I see them go to work, I wish TS2's apartment buildings worked that way. They used to, but something later happened (can't rememer which pack) that broke that feature, some would leave if it was time for them to go to work, etc.

So, long story short, once most of them (many different households) save up enough money I'm moving them to single dwelling households (private owned homes) out of the 'city'. lol Just like CL, TS2's AL has it's 'townies' and dang I'm tired of seeing them instead of Goopy and or someone who isn't dressed in that annoying garb. Same way I got annoyed with CL like that.

The game might get a city but Simmers will just go on playing in their own linear way, choosing the same options and then complaining about the lack of gameplay. From what I saw of the explanation of how Sims work. You have to choose diverse options to get into a different "tree" and vary their lives, so choosing "friendly introduction" every time is a loser from the start.

I've always wanted to follow those little Sims you see moving into homes in SimCity4 as it develops though and see how their lives would develop in The Sims!

Oooh I love these ideas ? Having grown up in NYC, San Myshuno doesn’t cut it!

Also I think it would be cool to have a “living, breathing” city in base game that sprawls out into suburbia and countryside. Something for everyone and a little diversity to do whatever you want with.
