They’ve had to shoehorn most of this stuff into a game that was never intended for it, but this time I think they’ll specifically design the game around it and it will be very different overall.

Worrying about their eco-footprint is not something I would have anticipated in the Sims. It seems like a game about consumption, but I suppose anything is possible.
I actually hope they don't go too far in the direction of realism. I think the silliness of Sims is part of its charm. In any case, they've always worried about falling into uncanny valley in the past, hence an intentional veer away from realism. But I know a lot of people clamor for it.
