SimsVIP posted an article about the latest EA/Maxis survey. They are talking about, toddlers, cars, seasons and even superheroes to put in an expansion or game pack for The Sims 4.

Oh my gosh…. EA is this real?
i don’t think all of these should be an expansion pack. i don’t think all of them are big enough. Maybe for the generations one just make it an update?
I really believe toddlers should be in this game and cars with those things this game could almost perfect
By this stage, I just want toddlers, whether I have to buy and expansion or get it in a game pack. However, its a bit cheeky unless they’re going to make pre-teens as well as toddlers, then I’m all for a generations pack.
If the only way EA is going to give us toddlers is in an expansion pack, I’d buy it. I think if they worked hard then a Generations Pack could be a great thing, especially by adding a pre-teen stage. But I do agree some of these packs shouldn’t be made. I don’t like the ‘Power up’ pack, which could be included in a more desirable Supernatural Pack. The Vacation Pack seems like it’s trying to be a Seasons replacement, which I should mention, we don’t want to go away somewhere to experience winter, we want winter to come to our sims. Then finally, where is the pets pack? Also… if a romance type pack is introduced, I’d like it to include *new* romantic interactions. I.e. New kisses, slow dance, woohoo spots etc.
The Metropolis one is pretty real: City Living is coming soon, and the description is just the same!
Please EA combine Metropolis and Power Up so I can make the Thundermans!!!
Also, VACATION? MUST BUY.
If this is real sounds really goood then we can all be happy..
I like the idea of most of these except for the “find love” expansion and “rebuild?” as we already have a lot of romantic interactions ( and more to come with each EP,GP, and SP) and the rebuilding one sounds like it would stray to far away from the life simulation TS4 is.
I dunno…. I know a lot of players (including myself) loved zombies in TS3 and I would love if they would expand on that, but only create a specific world or interaction (ie: clicking on a certain object or configuring the apocalypse in settings) so that it wouldn’t hinder everything else.
Funny, these were the ones I wanted the most here.
I will choose all of it! yeah!
Vacation, Generations and On the road please 😀 we need seasons, toddlers and cars!!!!
Agreed! Vacation sounds really awesome and Toddlers are a MUST– personally I love the seasons and ‘back to school’ too– ‘power up’ doesn’t interest me like… at all!
Absolutely, the Sims would not be a SIMULATION without those
What will they cost in USA? And when are they coming?
Find Love, Generations, and University. Sims 4 desperately needs toddlers, Better weddings, and University styled schooling
OMG…. Sims 4 desperately needs toddlers and pets and transportation. Generation was my favorite from sims 3 but now with sims 4 there is no toddlers or generations Sims needs this please agree with me!
Vacation !!!!!!!!
It’ll be interesting to see how many of these will actually come to fruition…..It’s a little disheartening to not see Supernatural there….but hot damn does Power Up sound cool. The Find Love one also sounds pretty neat….with that I could make the Bachelor even dumber and force a bunch of beautiful women to try for the hand of a delightful green ogre heheeh
LMFAO You’re post just made me laugh so hard thank you! I needed that 🙂
Wow, this looks great! I want them all 😀
I think if they go with Rebuild and Power Up that will not be the Sims to me anymore and I certainly won’t buy them.
But I would like to see Generations, University, Vacation. The On The Road and dating app sounds cool too.
I didn’t buy Superstar or Supernatural from TS3 and I’ve been playing since TS1 and own all of it, except those two.
I didn’t buy Katy Perry Sweet Treats or Midnight Hollow and oh yes, and I didn’t buy Into The Future either.
we need toddlers back because sims are growing too fast and the toddlers would look really cool if they mad them because the baby graphics are good so then I would expect the toddlers to be too and it should also be a free update
Those zombies better be good, I didn’t like those plant eating zombies from the sims 3, I want them to really eat my sim.
Yessss agree
I’m gratufel you made the post. It’s cleared the air for me.
But the others are pretty good idea’s would be great if the seasons and penthouses are coming back.
But with On the road, does that mean we can finally drive?
I Love the Rebuild one the best,I have wanted an apocalyptic world since Sims 3.I have added some Fallout cc to my Sims 4 game but it’s just one lot,not the same as a whole town!All of this sounds amazing though,I just wish they would let more people take the survey,I would love to add my input.
I think rebuild would be dumb to add or even any apocalyptic expansion, let’s remember that the sims is a life simulation, in fact that would mean changing the entire game completely, I think that it would be a totally different game like the sims 2 castaway, or sims lifestories although I love the metropolis idea it’d be an aspect that hasn’t yet been seen in the sims, well, what I’m I agoning anyway, I would love of they made a new York inspired city. It would be amazing! I wish I had a part in this survey ….
Oops meant imagining not agoning!
Meh, as I said above, they would have to add a way to turn it off or configure it in settings, but I think it would be pretty cool, since a lot of players loved playing around with the apocalypse in TS3.
Personally I wouldn’t just want summer and winter. If there going to make weather I want it to be all four seasons. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. If they didn’t put fall and spring in that expansion I would be extremely upset.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG Its Greaty !!!!
Generation! !!!!!!!!!!
Sounds good, but the only thing i will really love to get back are, toddlers,cars,seasons, supernatural and pets
what about pets? 🙁
I’m guessing that pets is out of the question, there’s been a pets in every single Sims since Sims 1, it s a definite!
I think pets may be in the works. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Looking Forward To Generations, Vacation, University, Power Up, and Find Love. 😀
please EA this is really what we want! I love everything!!!
Power up and rebulid i dont want. Another ep pak i wanna beadly! I cant wait to com. Then gume sims 4 wil be perfect! Tnx werry much if ea puts out all that abow! Sorry for leguge, i dont writhe good english. Kiss
Any of these would be better then Get Together. My first vote is generations, and school it would be amesome! Love playing with families feel sad that family play has been a little ignored with the last expansions. I hope they act on some of these ideas.
I totally agree! Get together just looks like a bit of smushed together randomness and I miss family stuff! I love the sound of the school one, I was getting worried no one else had mentioned it.
Well i would not love to have just summer and Winter. I knew that ther planed something simulare with sims 3 Late night before ther decided to let us have seasons and weather efects in Sims 3 Seasons. Hope ther realy make all seasons ore realys the other seasons in an gameplaypack with much more conetnt and realy new stuff todo that was not ther in previus parts of the series
PLEASE!!!! ALL OF THEM <3
Except rebuild and power up… Straying too far from life.
Most of these expansion pack ideas have barely enough content to pass as a game pack, in fact these would probably be good stuff pack ideas. To change that here’s what I think they should do: Combine Back to School and Generations. They’re in the same category and neither has enough content to make anyone pay $40 for it. It would also calm fans who think that toddlers should be free. Combine Get Real and Get Famous. Keeping them separate would be crazy. $80 for two expansion packs that are basically two parts of a single decent expansion which was actually sort of included in Sims 3’s Late Night (Being Famous, I mean)? That’s just mean. Expand On the Road and make it a Road Trip expansion. Add other kinds of transportation too, alongside cars. Come on, making us pay for basically no other content besides cars and a taste of vacationing is stupid. We can just get the cars in a free mod and pay for a full vacation expansion pack (I liked Vacation. It was pretty cool). Metropolis seems okay, and University would be good because it’s a traditional pack and college fans love it (or at least my college friends do). Find Love just needs a bit more content. Add in divorce and midlife crisis (those are examples, they were the best I could think of) and that would be just fine, for me at least. Power Up actually looks really good because it’s like Supernatural but with superheroes instead. I definitely think that an expansion like that has a lot of promise. I understand that some people will say that what I’m suggesting is a lot of content for an expansion pack and thus a lot of work, but EA disappointed me with The Sims 4, and they disappointed a lot of others too. I think they owe it to all of us to work extremely hard to give us nice, big, full expansion packs. I’m not posting this to rant or criticize the game; I’m posting this because I want to give my opinion, and hope EA will at least consider it. And for the record these are MY opinions. I’m not saying anyone should agree. EA asked and so I’m responding.
This all sounds great. I would like to see the towns become more real. LIke let us just travel by cars around town are walk around the towns. I feel that SIms 3 had the most freedom, when your out and about. Also you could view all the tall buildingss and city lights from above . I hope Im making since, In the sims 3 you could also alter the worlds with trees and ponds and you could create lots , I miss that also . it would be nice to know what they are saying lol… But I do want to say that I really love the sims 4. I know yall are working hard on making this the best sims game, so thanks so much for being so talented and all yalls hard work . cant wait for Get Together Expansion Pack… But it looks like yall have so many big things in the future. Oh and also can we have are olor wheel back . so we can make the colore we want . I feel that when you are creating the more options the more fun it is ,,,,,,,,,anyways thanks so much
* color wheel
At the start they said that it would not be possible to add a create a style type tool.
Generations I love :-)) back to school and university woohoo on the road sounds good! Can’t wait ;-))
I miss having toddlers in the game. It’s depressing that you only have a baby for five days and then they start going to school. I hope they make the generations. I also love the sound of the school pack. They should definitely make the kids be able to join different clubs. The university pack sounds nice too.
I would like to see Generations, toddlers are needed.
Seasons would be an awesome expansion pack to have back, and like being able to celebrate the holidays with your sims would be awesome!!
I can’t play the game without toddlers. Once they add that in, I’ll be able to play it again. I think they should include toddlers with generations. Allow families with babies and toddlers go have picnics at the parks, shopping etc.
I love all of it!
I really hope they add toddlers. I think it looks really stupid when the baby just ages up to a kid. And it’s hard to tell apart the teenagers and adults.
WE NEED TODDLERS!!! The game play is not the same with out toddlers. Seasons would be Awesome too!! Those two things specifically would make the game more realistic. That’s the main thing I miss about The sims 3.
Are u guys going to make a mod for toddlers and cars and pets
Hi Danielle,
We aren’t the developers of those kind of mods (we actually wish we were this talented!) so we can’t help you unfortunately, you have to talk with Zerbu and see what he can do.
P.S: We’ve already talked about a mod about cars, see if you like it 🙂 https://sims-online.com/the-sims-4-mod-ownable-cars/
If you are going to do these expansion packs, how long would we have to wait? (Particularly generations) ?
I’d imagine it to take a few months for development after its been announced.
I like the Sims 4 University. That’ll be cool!
Everything sound great except “get real”, “back to school” and the “get famous”.
Please bring back University, toddlers, another active career, more interactions in town (such as the metropolis idea), vacation hot spots, vehicles, and gypsies and robbers to add more spontaneity. Also, memories like in Sims 2 helps. There used to be icons for memories like “learned to walk”, “engaged”, “heart was broken”, “grew up”, etc.
The power up sounds like the Ninja powers of teleportation from Sims 2. This would help especially since the sims in Sims 4 get extremely tired easily and it takes them almost an hour to walk back home.
The rebuild sounds okay. Not sure how popular the zombie craze still is. Perhaps there should be some further research with this. Serve it up as a limited edition for about $20-$25 for a couple of days, see if it sells. If it does, then raise the price. If it does not, lower the price to about $14.99.
The
I really love the sound of rebuild as I am also a walking dead fan and that just sounds amazing to me. I do love them all though and I would like if all of them were produced. ☺
Definatley bring back toddlers!! and I think washing machine etc should be brought in as free content in an update. Would love to see seasons and vehicles come back to
I really hope this is real, I would love to see it all in the game:)
I love the idea of the expansion pack i Would love there to be seasons cuz I always wanted winter and i would love for there to be toddlers again!☺️
There’s always a seasons expansion, I don’t know why they put it in the survey
I agree with washing machines and where there can that there can be dirty clothes on the floor when the kids make messes and that the floors get dirty and that’s a good reason for brooms and vacuums
So if we are patient, more patient and then sit back and wait some more we will get toddlers in Generations. Well, I say that should be the next expansion pack put out so get off your duffs and get busy!!
I really hope it won’t cost an arm and a leg for these ideas. If they are real HELL YES!! I would love having the toddlers back, but I don’t want to pay 40 dollars just for something that was in the sims 3 base game
Don’t tell them to make it a expansion pack, now they might have the idea in their heads, earlier they might have been going to just add it as an update, now they will charge us for it. Thanks guys.
