Personal list of things I would like to see in Sims 5:
Better tracking and routing of Sims - can we see the Sims actually manage to negotiate a route around furniture and other Sims without clipping?
Better babies - babies that aren’t burritos; have them wave their hands or feet, have them actually react to being held, have them actually respond to being fed. Have them have wants (take me for a walk, I need to go pee, hug me, cuddle me, I want Mommy, Daddy, Sister, Brother etc) - not just sticking them into a crib and be done with it.
And I swear, if I see a baby hop out of the crib and become a child because “toddlers are too difficult”...so help me, I’m going to go nuclear!
Could we see swimming in lakes? Please? Nothing beats building a cottage at a lake and having one’s kids be able to swim there.
A return of cars as well as being able to open the doors, get in and out instead of teleporting them in (in TS3).
Less mood altering effects with personal possessions. I don’t want to have a widow grieving her dead husband and then just because she goes into her collection room be ______________<—— insert descriptive adjective of choice happy. The one I was resisting putting down would have had me banned.
A more coherent moods selection. Make sure that the sims who are enemies actually hate each other and don’t behave as if one minute they like each other the next bitter enemies. Some consistency would be nice.
I want the ability to be able to tell a cohesive story by means of an open world, the ability to tell a story not restricted to lots. If my sim wants to explore the world he or she lives in, let me do that in one continuous flow. Even more so when creating videos as we video creators need to not have their narrative in some rapidly jumping lot to lot fashion but in transitions and placement shots.
I also want to see effort on the environment and the sims. Plainly put the cartoon-esque environment with Fisher Price trees and Little People style clay hair base sims gets really old, really quick.
I want to see a faithfulness trait come back where both sims refuse to cheat on the other especially if they’ve been in a great relationship. A spouse should not be inclined to cheat if their relationship meters are full and their attraction is attuned to their spouse.
I want to see aircraft in an expansion pack at some point. That’s just a personal want so ~shrug~ do with it what you will. Same with a hockey rink and pickup hockey animations.
Animation challenges:
Wet hair (stepping out of rain and out of shower or bath) should last for ten minutes sims time.
Sims caught in a downpour should look like a drowned rat and unless they like water, shouldn’t be happy about it.
Wet clothes, wet streets.
Go easy on the light bloom.
Oh...and can we..,

Started in Sims 3; never got the chance to have this happen as I never had TS2
