I am not sure what to list for gameplay/activities in carnival game pack if it would happen. But i know it will be a very enjoyable & thrilling game pack for TS4... What would you suggest? Write a list.

Seriously though. Be nice to have a carnival. Being able to do a parade with sims all dressed up in crazy gear would be good fun, I reckon.

I feel like city living with the festivals is already some kind of carnival.
Only if they give children, toddlers and families the short end of the stick again.
With these packs there's usually far too much focus on new places to woohoo and not enough focus on families. We need more activities parents and their kids can do together.
At the very least, ferris wheels.
And carnival games. The "shoot a water pistol into the clown's mouth to fill up a balloon" one, some kind of ball-toss, a strength tester would be amazing, whack-a-mole (we had whack-a-Will in TS1, maybe some kind of whack-a-Guru game? All in good fun, of course)...
As long as we get rideable ferris wheels,roller coasters,carousels and bumper cars. I also want games like whack a mole,shoot ducks,test strength with hammer,dunking booths and kissing booths.
In addition carnival foods like cotton candy,funnel cakes,candy apples and corn dogs.
This might need an expansion dedicated to it.
Not even close there are no amusement rides.
CL festivals were trash. You literally just load a tiny lot and do everything you do at any other lot. Eat, play video games, drink juice. They are so boring and pointless.
Your thinking of the carnival lot that came with Roaring Heights Gold.
That's the one!
But I'd also like venitian carnival costumes and masks
But I would also hope to see some completely new ideas -- perhaps a creepy Hall of Mirrors, in which your sim could get lost for a while, or come out looking (temporarily) like a distorted version of themselves, a Tunnel of Love, which would temporarily mess with your sim's romantic relationships, and a Ghost Train which, if overused, could actually scare your sims to death and turn them into ghosts. EA could have a field day with the NPCs too: Think of bearded ladies, dancing midgets, clowns (both friendly and scary), jugglers, acrobats and stilt-walkers.
Yes, I think there would be more than enough to fill a Game Pack and I would certainly buy something like that if it was well done.
errrr...
Level One: Miming
Level Two: Balloon Animals
Level Three: Juggling
Level Four: Uni-Cycling
Level Five: Juggling while Uni-Cycling
Level Six: Stilt Walking
Level Seven: Juggling while Stilt Walking
Level Eight: Tight Rope Walking with Umbrella (or slacklining, rope is not as tense/tight)
Level Nine: Juggling while tight Rope Walking
Level Ten: Tight Rope Walking Blindfolded While Juggling and Dancing!
The sims could buy a 'performance area' to put in their inventories, and then go anywhere in the world to work on their skill and earn some simoleans.
More about it here.
Though the statue busker that came with City Life was a nice little touch, I still think an entire skill would be much more fun and in depth for our own sims to work on/perform. They already have a 'watch performance' for club activities, and they could add "circus tricks" as another. We could build our own circus looking tent thingy for clubs. I built one when they added those clown outfits
And with the Game Pack, I'd love them to make the appropriate setting for such things as carnival rides etc, so at least a new neighbourhood with 5-8 lots ... maybe a beachfront setting?, though I'd also want the ability to put ferris wheels etc in any world. Perhaps we'll get a new venue type: FUN PARK.
Lots of ideas could be done for a Carnival type pack. I'd definitely buy it.
* a roller coaster (store)
* carousel (store)
* a stage for circus acts and magic shows (Showtime)
* a fortune teller's tent (with crystal ball from the store)
* popcorn and candy floss stands (store)
* apple bobbing (seasons)
* side attractions (I liked the little side games from TS1 On Vacation a lot)
* photo booths (LN and Seasons)
* face painting (seasons)
I think I also used objects like the spring riders to make kids-rides.
So I guess it was a cross between a circus and a carnival. I used to make it pop up for one season only on an empty field, then it would vanish again like a travelling circus. If we got a GP or expansion like this it would be great if we could make our own festivals again, like we could in TS3 with the festival lot marker. And it'd be good if we got slightly different themed carnivals that fit in with different seasons. Maybe a spooky carnival/circus for fall? And one with hot spiced drinks in Winter. The spring one could have the fortune teller, a bit like the love guru I guess, but more like the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 matchmaker from TS2 and we could buy love potions from her. And we could get a pickpocket character like the Unsavoury Charlatan again.
I also liked the circus areas of the world we got with TS1 Makin Magic. So maybe it could have a small world with a slightly spooky vibe? It could feel like Willow Creek's dodgy neighbour! So the travelling circus could have a slightly sinister vibe and the unsavoury charlatan would make sense. Then there could also be a romance theme with the fortune teller, a love tester, and maybe a dashing ring master or carnie? So a sense of romance and danger would make sense to me.
I liked the style of these sets, and I'd really love some tent pieces again because they were so handy!

And here are some of my random TS3 screenshots:
