I would definitely buy the Seedy Stuff pack. The game definitely needs more lived-in looking furniture and wallpapers. What if I want to make abandoned-looking houses? Or scummy trailer parks?
I would be excited about a moroccan style stuff pack with outdoor and indoor interior, turbans, a mocha tea maker, beduin tent, Shisha and moroccan meals and kitchen stuff. That would be awesome!
Also a beach pack where sims can go to the beach and swim in the waters, watch the sunset together, sit by the fire would be amazing. Maybe even Ibiza inspired with a beach café, beach parties and of course beach houses. Sims 3 had beaches and I loooooved it. What happened??
As a feedback (I know it's not asked but it really bugs me): I really don't understand why none of the backyard and and patio packs have a sun lounger?? That is a little disappointing I think...
Seedy Stuff Pack
Gameplay Elements: Burglar NPC, alarmsystems, barrel with fire in it - warm hands animation
Build/Buy: Run-down furniture, re-purposed city stuff (old tires as a table etc.), more dirt and messes to place on floors/walls
CAS: Clothing with tears and dirt, casual slacky stuff like loose ties, crumbled shirts, long t-shirts
Comment: To me stuff packs should enhance niche themes. So, if someone wants to play down on their luck sims, or an enhanced Rags to Riches, they can.
I like that idea! I think that could work well with the run down sort of apartments that came with City Living. Would make for some interesting gameplay.
This is one corner… of one country, in one continent, on one planet that’s a corner of a galaxy that’s a corner of a universe that is forever growing and shrinking and creating and destroying and never remaining the same for a single millisecond. And there is so much, so much to see.
Pool Stuffpack adds pool waterfalls,pool bars,pool volleyball,underwater games,pool floaties etc.
Wedding Stuffpack
A Skating SP focuses on roller rink skating and also street skates. Adds a roller skating rink venue and lot.
Honeymoon Stuffpack with lip sofas,heart fireplaces,the vibrating heartbed,a heart shaped bathtub and sink,heart shaped hottub,heart shaped clear wine glasses and rose pedals you can place on dining tables.
But, to a lesser degree, I like the ideas of:
-a music-themed SP (includes a broader variety of instruments/musical tools, genres, and CAS/Build Mode items)
-pets
-a carnival theme
-the supernatural
-death-related things (considerably what was going to be a potential pack from a vote a while back; called the "Dangerous" SP...)
A carnival theme would be more suited for a Gamepack or Expansion.
Not sure if should be a stuff pack or a game pack, but i would like a pack that centers around more bar stuff and activities. Could be pool tables, bull riding machines or whatever works, but would welcome a pack that support making different bars with different themes. Feel like currently most times you get same kind of bar result across the various worlds(where aesthetics almost only difference), i mean take San Myshuno there is basically 3 locations with Karaoke so feels to much the same Bowling pack was welcome feature as it let make a bowling bar instead of having 3 karaoke bars but really.
Wow..Before I found this forum I had been thinking about how bad I wanting some kind of Japanese or Asian stuff pack-then I saw at the top of the forum, the discussion of that very thing! Great minds think alike. So exciting! I hope EA and the people working on stuff packs will consider our ideas.

I love all of these ideas. I hope at least two get added. I also totally agree with Retirement Stuff, I do think all the fun goes once your sim is old.
There is one pet peeve that I have with TS4 cas. That is the block eyelashes.. why do we have them?! In the sims 3 we had normal,split eyelashes. The Sims 4 ones are just eww. I would LOVE to see this changed and I think other people would love it aswell. Thx
I would just really like if there were some 'basic' stuff packs that were espansions for types of object. So a technology pack would include various computers, game consoles, tvs, sound systems, moblie devices. A few purely clothing packs would be great, they could be individual ones for different styles. Furniture style packs would be great too!
So this is probably un-related to most if not all of the things that have already been said in this discussion. But when I saw that there was a place where people could talk about ideas for future stuff packs, I instantly knew what I wanted to say here. I know that this idea would be pretty different to the idea of a stuff pack. It may even be something that could be added to an update. But here it is. I think that it would be so great for there to be a few improvements made to CAS. My first and foremost wish is for there to be the facility for controlling the height of sims. How is this not already a thing? I WANT TO CHOOSE HOW TALL MY SIMS ARE. PLEASE, MAXIS AND EA, PLEASE. But also, things like the ability to give sims a favourite colour. To be able to give them aptitudes in things, such as singing. Despite there being a considerable element of practice to the skill of singing in real life, it's mostly about natural aptitude. The same applies to many things. Also, having a colour wheel in order to tailor the colour of things, like hair, skin, eyes and clothes would be such an awesome development. I find it quite weird and frustrating how there aren't hardly any realistic hair colours available. Is anyone else really annoyed about there not being a simple light brown or mousy brown hair colour? I just think that a pack or an update that included these things would be so appreciated. How is it that you can control the size of a sims's nostrils and yet you can't control how tall they are? It's kind of ludicrous. Well......that's my lengthy rant out there and said. Now all I can do is pray. o:)
Something to compliment Cats and Dogs. Like, furniture and clothes that's just covered in animal print motifs, maybe an ant farm that actually works more than 'view'.
The trouble with heights is that they affect animations; they're not just a matter of scaling the size of your Sim up. in fact every animation would need to be sorted so that when Sims hug or kiss or sit down or cook, they don't start clipping all weird through things. I can say pretty easily that a height scaler might be something you'd get in a CAS5, but it's not coming in Sims 4.
Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.
Stuff packs would definitely be more popular if they featured different lifestyles in the game. It would add much more variety to the way your Sim interacts with their environment throughout their life.e
I'd also like to see stuff packs based on different forms of architecture. Each one would feature a set of build mode and furniture items based on popular schools of architecture, such as Usonian, Mid-century, Art Deco, et al. This would allow us to enhance and diversify our towns!
A Seedy/Grungy/Shabby Chic pack sounds good to me too with some Boho Chic thrown in. I don't mind some austerity in my game and well, every sim can't be rich.
I would even entertain something a la World Adventures with a European/Middle Eastern/ Asian/ Afrocentric flavor. I mean we had that stuff in Sims 3 for pete's sake.
I want a barnyard/farm/country pack with horses and possibly a new country town. Or I would like an exotic zoo pack with possibly like an island or whatever. Or a become celebrity LA or New York type pack. But Seasons is a must. Please make Seasons. It will add so much more to the world of sims. :)

I also want a pack with more pool things.
All these are great if in gp's but a stuff pack.
multifunctional furniture in particular as think would be great to utilize space better especially with large walled rooms.

Some packs for
Newborns

Elders
Great idea for extra part time jobs
Paper round for kids to if only we still had newspapers
