The Sims 4!

Hopefully this one would have some of the add-ons built in. Jebus, they seriously have a lot of add ons.
Also, I would be extremely happy about this, but I realized Sims gets old after a while. For me, anyway. I just recently played it for the first time ever and within the week already had everything I ever wanted, except it was harder to control my sims because their house was too big so they were all over the place.

Hey Listen!

I WANT THIS NOW! I've been wanting a new Sims game for ages now.

I don't see how you guys are excited for this. Sims 3 released about a year to 2 years ago. I think this game is coming out a little premature.
Gurl, u kiddin? its been like 4 years.

By the time The Sims 4 comes out The Sims 3 would have been out for 5 years....
Anyway, I'm excited for this. Apparently they're going "back to the roots" of The Sims 1 and have the full Maxis team working on it, unlike The Sims 3.
I've never really gotten into The Sims (even though I know I'd love it) for the same reason I don't play Minecraft or New Leaf. I know I'll play way too much.
I've been waiting patiently for Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 to go on sale for way too long now, and I bet with my luck they'll announce a 4th one of that once I buy it.

Really...?
I guess this is where I drop off the Sims Radar. ): I still haven't caught up with the sims 3 expansions...

If this is true, then I am beyond excited. Sims 1 was my favorite. I know, it's basically nothing compared to 2 and 3 and the customization is really limited, but I think it has a special kind of feel to it, I dunno. It might just be the nostalgia speaking.
I'm going to invoke a lot of ire here, but..
EA/Maxis need to stop, plain and simple, and fix their current Sims-type games before they move forward. Sims 3 has been out for 4ish years now, and it still has some of the same completely game crippling bugs (Town corruption, people getting stuck in bed/at rabbit holes, job progression bugs, among others) that haven't been corrected and hurt the longetivity of the game. They continue to pile more expansions on top of it, only irritating the problem - if your wound is festering, tossing more bandaids on your bandaids won't fix it.
Simcity is even worse. The core concepts of the game were great - similar to how the core concepts of Sims 3 were great - but their application failed hard. Between the server issues for the first MONTH of the game's release, to complete bugs (Corrupted/non-processing cities, non-functioning recycling centers, population and budget numbers not adding up to the visible totals, regional transfers not working, etc.), and of course, the design flaws (Tiny cities, water table limitations, set highway entry points, set railway points, traffic congestion)... the game is a mess. There is a ton of work they need to do on their existing games instead of starting a new one.
And chances are, when they push TS4, it's going to be horridly flawed like the others. This time, EA's not getting my money - it's time we took a stand against big publishers giving us low-quality products with massive budgets. I've seen better games out of indie developers that cost me $5.

Sims 1 is my favorite too, I'm hoping to see some of that same nostalgic charm that was in Sims 1!

How about no always online mode.
EA have officially came out and explicitly said that The Sims 4 will be an offline, single-player experience with no always-online mode. They learnt from their mistake with SimCity!
Hey Listen!

My biggest want: fast loading screens or even better no loading screens

I read about that after my post. Good!
Loading comes down to your computer, however think how much junk the Sims games have to go through.
Not many games have tried no loading screens and fewer still pulled it off well. One I remember is a Tony Hawk game, where there were "loading zones". So instead of hitting a screen waiting for it to load, you'd skate down some alleyway into the new area as it loaded.
I don't see how Sims could do something like that.
