I think what I want mirrors a lot of what everyone else wants. I want TS5 to be a healthy mix of 2, 3 and 4 made up of all my favourite bits.
Sims personalities and details of the TS2. I want my sims to recognize and realize that other sims are in the room with them and even give a nod or wave as they pass in a hallway. I want my sims to do things like open a dresser drawer again when they're changing an outfit. Have something like an attraction system for romance again and personality points for interests. Fears.
Open world and create a world from TS3. Favourite foods, colour and music so that when sims autonomously choose to cook, listen to music they choose their favourite dish to cook (if they have the skill) and their favourite music. Story progression with a toggle to turn it off for those who are dead against it. Toggles for other things too like celebrities and occult sims so again, people who are dead against these life states can still buy a pack for the CAS and BB and then turn off the occult so people that do want occults don't have to have nerfed versions.
Build mode and create a sim modes from TS4. Maybe a bit of tweaking but those are pretty good this time around and easier to use. (IMO) The gallery.
It should be obvious too that it cannot launch half finished like TS4 did. This means we should have toddlers, ghosts, pools and basements right off and not waiting months to years for patches for these staples.
It would be nice to, since this will be the FIFTH time a lot of us will be re-buying the same sorts of pack ideas if some things like basic seasons and cats and dogs were included at launch. They could still add on to these packs later with more in depth game play and items. I think it would allow them to get more right into some new ideas sooner too and after 20 years of playing this franchise, I'm ready for some new ideas.
Not online. If they want to make it an optional feature, then ok, but I don't want my single player to suffer. I don't want items locked behind progress in an online play. I don't want to pay a monthly fee to access the online when I just want to single player. (They haven't said they would do any of this for sure, I'm just putting it out there that IF they go that route, then those are things I don't want).
Most importantly, I want some consequences. My sims aren't individuals anymore, they're more of a hive mind and they're all "Stepford wives" and it's kind of creepy. I don't want them miserable all of the time either, but I would like some balance. It's a game the last time I checked so it would be nice if it acted more like one.
