I was wondering what expansion packs You would like to have in an order , Like which expansion pack has more priority than the other OR what You should have in Your game first in order to enjoy the next expansion pack better.
For me it goes like this :
1.Get Together
2.Pets
3.Generations
4.Seasons
5.Back To School "Kids & Preteens will have an active school day gameplay"
6.Late Night "Nightlife"
7.Supernatural
8.Superstar "Showtime, Celebrity themed expansion"
9.Universitylife
10.Reality Star " Become a famous model Or a star of Your own reality show , a famous stylist Or a professional movie maker "
That's all I can think of right now , I put the expansions in an order according to what I would like to see first .
I would love to see all of them equally , but I think some expansions should be released first in order to enjoy the next one better .
What is Your list ? , I would love to see it

Edit: Just remembered I'd actually like a "Hobbies" pack, it doesn't need to be an ep though, game pack is fine.
*There's nothing wrong with loving the Sims 4, there's also nothing wrong with seeking improvements.
A list of Mods I use.|My Sims 4 Mod and CC "Master" post. Helpful Links included.
2. Superheros
3. Supernatural
This will most likely not happen but I would like it to
2. Generations (done properly, I want to see ZERO content for YA / A sims unless it contributes further gameplay options to children, teens and elders, I'm getting so sick of every other generation mostly being overlooked)
3. Supernatural
4. Anything else
2. University
3. Metropolis
4. Seasons
5. ...
Generations (mostly for people who aren't me)
Seasons
Something With Apartments

Something We Haven't Even Imagined Yet

Features would include things like
new instruments,
being to jam with other sims.
Setting up and being able to perform a set list of songs chosen by the player.
New item - stage, where non-performers would stay off of.
New careers for musicians like singer and songwriter with new branches, like rock or country for guitar, etc.
Being able to make bands and write songs together.
Be booked by the local bars and lounges and be paid according to how well you do.

Players: Check out my Sims 4 Room Challenge.
Devs & Players: Check out my Archaeology Career Idea
To me:
1- Generation: First this one because the game needs to complete and flesh out all the life stages and I want this to be released ASAP so that the new life stages wont miss more stuff from upcoming packs. The missing life stages already missed a lot.
2- Seasons: This is an important part of any game released today. It is one of the features every game should have. Seasons will add more life to TS4 worlds. Please give us natural disasters this time and make it optional from game options.
3- Pets/ Farming Life: No more cats and dogs only. We had those in 3 EPs from the past. Gives us these as a part of farming life with all the live stocks.
4- Reality Star: or more specifically everything that relates to having movie theater, box office, paparazzi, critics, becoming actor, producer or a director.
5- Medieval or Apocalyptic Pack: with the option to close world traveling individually from the options.
My comments on the pack you mentioned:
- Get Together: I would have been jumping in joy for this EP if it had to offer more. I think apartments added to this EP would have made a big difference in how players are looking at this EP. So far the only two things I am liking are the world and the clubs.
- Back To School: After how Get To Work was done I am totally not keen in packs like that. Having this pack will only make problems. Why? like the active careers you need to follow your sim and neglect all the other family members. If the household has 4 kids are you going to follow everyone everyday? the game will get so linear.
- Late Night: I don't think it makes sense in having a late night in this game. The features of late night EP should be spread over different EPs. We already have many things that Late Night offered.
- Supernatural: Would be cool to have them provided they add 2 options:
1- To be able to disable every life state individually for the whole game (all worlds) so if I don't want to have a life state I just can disable it and prevent the game from generating it.
2- To be able to specify the life states the player can allow per world
For example I might love to have in Willow Creek vampires so I enable them for Willow Creek and disable them for all the other worlds. Means Vampires cannot travel out of Willow Creek to other worlds. If I want to have a post apocalyptic world I might enable Zombies for Oasis Springs and disabling them for all the other worlds so that world will be mainly my post apocalyptic world.
I don't like to have all supernaturals spreading all over the world. It kills my game and my love for realism. It spoils my stories too.
- University Life: I love to have university but when university is added all the past jobs and future jobs should be changed. Every job should be made to have a certain qualification requirement. Adding university with few new jobs while leaving the jobs we already have unchanged is something I don't want to see/have. For example we have the doctor career now and if University is added there should be a major for that career. They should not leave a sim that does not have a university qualification to be able to join this career.
- Superstar will be already in reality star pack. if they make everything fleshed out they would not need to make duplicate packs.
I love everything that You said , Especially the supernatural part . If they managed to make it that way , It will be amazing .
Generations/Family Fun (toddlers in patch)
Sports/Activity Pack (sporting equipment, indoor activities, pool toys)
On The Town (apartments, restaurants, more dating options)
Vacation pack(s) -- glitzy resort, tropical beach
University (Sims could either live on campus to take advantage of all the activities, or commute from home to/from class)
Seasons
Another vacation GP with ski resort theme
Down on the Farm (farming pack) that would incorporate Pets
Not all of those would have to be EPs -- Family Fun, Sports/Activity and the Vacation packs could all be GPs. I'm pretty flexible on order other than Generations/toddlers have to be pretty early on in order to minimize the amount of re-programming they have to do in the future.

- Vacations, something like world adventures, I LOVED to explore China, Egypt and France!
- Some kind of hobbies EP
- Something new

2. Seasons
3. Supernatural
I'm not picky about the order of the other packs.

S4 simblr: http://simlogic.tumblr.com/
Zombie appocolypse
Supernatural
World Adventures I think I want Adventure more than anything right now.
University... Although whats the point when Sims can do all these things like Build Rockets, Be a Doctor, a Scientist when they haven't gotten a degree?
These next 3 usually come in the middle of the game, Most important packs of this game and should be handled with care, and take the time, Like I expect a small team at Maxis Starting to get some animations in now, and slowly flesh them out until we get closer.
Seasons
Magic/Supernatural
Pets
Showtime
Island Paradise
Generations

Pets (love the farm idea)
Generations
