What you think we could use in the sims 5?

I'll echo a sentiment... story progression. Unless you plan to have one kid and only one kid per generation, a lot gets full quickly when three kids grow up, marry and stay in the same house. That leaves only two slots for kids. Moving them out just means they do nothing but age. They don't go to work, they don't earn money, they don't fall in love/get married/have kids without having to physically play it myself... or use MC Command Center. But even that mod doesn't quite work the way I'd prefer, but beggars cannot be choosers.

We need more personality development. Three slots is good, but unless you complete an aspiration with a bonus trait, buy one with aspiration points, or cheat to add one, you kind of get to a point where all the sims feel kind of the same. Yeah some are kleptomaniacs, some are romantic, but they all feel like they're the same person with a slightly different buff depending on the time of day/what they just did. The parenthood personality stuff is nice, but I'd love to see expanded personality traits and trait slots for more unique sim creating.

A deeper game. I've said this a few times in a few places recently, but there needs to be more depth to the game. I feel like the only real motives in the game are to grow up, have kids, make money, and keep doing that until you get bored and create a new sim to do it all over again. I just also feel that the aspirations need more depth. I can knock off several of them in a sim's lifetime. If this is someone's life goal, they're not all that easy to attain. And in TS4 it feels like it was made needlessly easier than it every should've been to attain these life goals. And the work from home feature isn't really working from home. It's basically do a chore and get paid. Expanding the game laterally is great, but deepening the game would be best in my humble opinion.

I agree on all of your points. Story progression is a must. And in a more controlled manner than what MCCC does. I don't want there to be a whole town of half siblings. I want to watch my Sims friends also fall in love and get married. I want their kids to have sleepover and grow up together.
I also liked the wider array of traits in TS3. What ever happened to traits like never naked and daredevil? Those were where it was at lol. I do tend to get bored when Sims in my games start to all seems to just become shades of the same personality.
Aspirations, in my opinion, were soooooo much better developed in TS3. I liked having to work my Sim's whole life to accomplish their overarching goal. It should be a process that takes time and work. I don't think you should be able to accomplish 3, 4, 5 in a single Sim's lifetime. Make them feel like real accomplishments again.
