Personally I would like to see Seasons, Get To Work, and Tiny Living. Or just one of those 😅😅 What would you like to see updated and refreshed?

I have seen Seasons many times, but I can't imagine what can be added to it
Get to Work need a big rework, the content scale of which may equal one EP plus one GP if ideal.
Considering the present marketing strategy and the reflection on My first pets SP, I won't hold hope of upgrading GtW. It is a war orphan made in the early development.

What could change about Seasons? I'm game to update that one too, though, since I'm still on the shelf about that pack.
and I do wish they would refresh occult packs to just include something for baby-child sims like say a set of very occult cribs would be hecking useful for a start
and maybe some important cas stuff that was left out like witch hats and alien cas and I'm not even gonna start with plantsims since they're base game but strangerville could definitely expand upon them with some mother plant cas and interactions not to also start with the obvious lack of mermaid themed furniture in Island Living
and heck I didn't even start talking about gameplay yet, all of it, thank you.
this message will be too long if i start blabbering of all the things we could have
and i still wish granite falls and selvadorada were residential worlds and that we had open water in windenburg, granite falls and brindleton bay

Seasons- addition of festival lot that changes seasonally and highlights fruits and activities related to the season, addition of pool accessories and pool parties, a new world, more integration with other packs with the holidays.
Outdoor Retreat- new neighborhood or additional world with swimmable/usable water, watercrafts/boats, hammocks, smores, additional outdoor activities.
Parenthood- needs a family friendly world, strollers, stuff for infants, expanded playground equipment, ability to create our own playgrounds. More family activities.
If it’s Outdoor Retreat, give us Bigfoot!
Outdoor Retreat would be my second choice like Get to Work it suffers from the curse of being one of the first packs released. Outdoor Retreat could have been great but is not mainly because it loses out with no newer systems. Ocean/lake swimming not existing is terrible no hiking trail or rock climbing there's many more things but these annoy me the most you get in the outdoors with nothing to do but sit around a campfire which gets boring fast.
Seasons - really needs a better seasonal decoration system. In my game I'm seeing non played houses decorated for the wrong season (often it seems to hang from my last visit to that lot, so if I visited a market in Winter, it might have Winterfest decor when I walk by in Summer. I also hate-hate that all edges and fences are decorated, and that I can't get rid of it easily *). My farmers don't want their entire farm covered with lamps, especially not the poor ones who can hardly afford their food. My castle hedge maze looks plain silly with pink love day flags on all pits of it. I really doubt that the Monarch ordered such crappy deco in his historical garden...
Outdoor Retreat - needs more content. Ie, if going there for just a couple day hardly any plants can be harvested. It was probably better before Seasons, but it doesn't help on the experience that plants might be out of season, too. They don't need to adjust the plants, but perhaps a few more elements added to nature, a new wild animal? Also a walking trail area could be added (in a new hood?), swimming area (although I guess most sims would find the water too cold), a new collecting game for kids etc. I just lack reasons to go there for a 1-3 days stop. Residential lots would be nice, but not a must if other features are added.
* Adding: My jungle explorers hate finding the well hidden jungle temple fully decorated with Winterfest lights... it totally ruins any photo you would normally like to take in front of a temple you worked so hard to find.
Outdoor Retreat - Swimming. SWIMMING. IN. THE. LAKE. And also expand the overall experience in Granite Falls.
Luxury Party Stuff - This pack is just sad. It gives as much as a kit (I think?) and is still sold for 10 bucks. Either expand it or indefinitely lower the cost. Or keep giving it out for free, I don't mind that
Perfect Patio Stuff - Technically pointless now that hot tubs are base game. Personally don't care for it, but still.
Essentially all the packs from the first two years of the game. Get Together could do with some more activities and the clubs have been ignored in more recent packs. And while I have never personally visited nightclubs in real life, the way they are in the game right now doesn't sit well with me. They need more energy! City Living could do with a few more festivals and revamps to the current festivals.
Island Living also needs more beach activities,hammocks,jet skiing,boats that allow more then 1 sim and wind surfing. It also needs scuba diving like Island Paradise in TS3 had but I don't see them unlocking the rabbithole oceans for that.
Sulani could also use a souvineer shop and rabbithole tours and Sulani needs a hotel resort. Also I'd like to see hanging sharks and swordfish and fishing nets with shells,starfish and sea horses.
An Island Living Refresh would also be a pack that could introduce new marine life we could keep in aquariums and fish bowl and maybe the souvineer gift shop could sell them. And finally I'd love boats with glass floors.
I agree, Outdoor Retreat is a pack I commonly forget about but it could definitely be more interesting with just a little update. As for Seasons being updated I think they should add more like annual holidays, more build buy items like bushes and stuff, I really feel like they should have added more in that respect. As well as maybe like a carnival or something that comes in each Spring? And letting it rain in Winter and such. And maybe like a pool update with it 😂😂😂

So many aspects of Get to work could be expanded so much more a refresh would not be enough to do it. Soo... what if Get to work would join base game in being permanently free as the oldest EP and we coul get a fresh new pack that expands on aliens and Sixam for example that would not be the case of My First Pet because the expanded DLC would be free?
1. Get to Work with Strangerville
2. Island Living
3. Outdoor Retreat
4. Jungle Adventure
5. Realm of Magic
6. Vampires
7. Werewolves
8. Paranormal
Get to work retail needs a lot of things changed or added to it.
1. First it should be like Dine Out where you aren’t forced to have a sim open a business to set things for sale. I don’t particularly like running a business, I just want it there so my sims can visit and buy things from it.
2. We should be able to buy collectibles for a business without going into cheats. Sometimes I want certain things for my sim without having to collect them.
3. We need food bins that look like produce to buy produce from ( and we should be able to buy produce from any pack we own at anytime ), what is a market without these? And, I don’t like the limits placed on produce from the food stalls in Henford on Bagley. We should also be able to buy any other grocery items from packs we own, such as eggs, flour, sugar, meat, honey, jelly/jams etc. and we should be able to buy any plate of food, in single serving size, family (4 serving) size, or party (8 serving) size, just like if we can when making them.
4. We need a simple clothing lot trait where you need to buy a piece or pieces of of an outfit to open it up in your household, whether from a store or through build/buy or a computer/phone.
5. We need to be able to buy off a rack which opens up all clothing. Buying from 5 mannequins is too limited. We should be able to create our own outfits when we go into a store if we want to.
6. We should have jewelry counters, hat boxes, or hats on a table, shoe racks, lingerie items on tables, etc. as well as clothing racks that can open up CAS. It makes a clothing store look more real.
7. We need a costume category so when our sims go to costume parties or show up at geek con, or children show up for Halloween, our sims go in the outfit we choose, even townies since we can change their outfits too.
Other things get to work needs
I. We should be able to change things in the work places without going into cheats as long as we have the objects needed, just like we can do for things like proms.
2. We should have some lots on sixam where our sims can live or use as community lots. I would like my aliens to be able to have a home world of their own.
Those are the major changes I want to see with get to work.
Things in other packs I’d like to see…..
Outdoor Retreat: being able to visit Granite Falls without having to pay for a rental place. Day trips are a thing at national parks too, I want my sims to be able to visit without having to stay overnight. We should have swimming areas here.
Jungle Adventure: we should be able to visit without spending the night, and we should be able to have our sims live there.
Island living: our mermaids should be able to have underwater homes, even if it’s just under glass domes or something under the water.
Get Famous: we need swimmable beach lots like in Sulani, and we need a middle class neighborhood. Downtown should also have a couple more lots.
Outdoor Retreat- Add Bigfoot or something similar and a summer camp for kids with water activities like canoeing, a ropes course, archery etc plus new careers for teens and adults like a summer counselor and a camp director job.
Get to Work- Aliens need to be updated and the world could use an update with houses and maybe a new aesthetic different than Willow Creek, as well as a retail overhaul.
Dine Out- They can probably just pay Carl who made the mod and fixed Dine Out to add the mod to the game for console players.
Snowy Escape might be fun, too. If only so we can get a debug or BB item that lets us snowboard outside of Mt. Komorebi. But if we're on the topic of sports, they need to free soccer and let our sims become soccer players outside of university. Soccer Career, please?
Cats & Dogs needs more pets. Aside from the vet career and Brindleton Bay, it's a huge downgrade from past pet packs. I know it's not "Pets," but it's meant to fill that role for Sims 4. Give us some actual animals and flesh out the collectable ones we already have.
Next to that, RoM. The pack was so safe and had very little in the way of traditionally witchy BB/CAS. Familiars are practically useless, but making them fleshed-out creatures you can bond with (ala farm animals) would be a game-changer. We really need more pets.
Aaaaand Luxury Party. Like this Stuff Pack is worse than some kits. The CAS is meh and the few items it got are trash. I'm not interested in it all that much, or any possible gameplay it might provide. But I feel bad for it.
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
