What online features would you like for the sims?

We pretty much know from mobile games what features we don't want, like microtransactions and grindy events which causes you to grind for hours but what online features would be fun to have in the sims 4 or any future sims game?
Here are some of my ideas, which are pretty much online events that you can do if you want, or completely ignore. Feel free to add your own ideas.
Online challenges, Challenges gets posted on the game with information on how to play it, like the 100 baby challenge. They are added to the game like achievements so the game tracks how many babies you have, like the game tracks other achievements.
Online contests, These contests could be held by Maxis where simmers could upload builds or sims with hashtags, the winners could get prices like satisfaction points or just the honor of being featured on the gallery.
Online events, Maxis posts themed challenges where you could win a lot of satisfaction points, kind of like they do the challenges now but these challenges would be much larger where you would have to create a lot of sims to fulfill the goals, like a goal that requires multiple job roles. The challenges could be things like create a band with multiple sims and have them perform at bars, nightclubs etc. The game tracks if you have completed the event like achievements.
Do you have any ideas of your own or do you think that we should not have more online features for the sims?

That could be cool, I know MC Command Center has something similar where it takes sims from your gallery and puts them into the world, you could maybe have an option in the gallery to select "make this sim show up in your friends worlds" or something similar. Then your friends could have the option to let the game download sims from your friends gallery and put them as unplayed sims.
I'd like to see the team improve these things instead of making new things.
I will never get "Maxis Favourite" because the builds and Sims I share in the Gallery despite my clever and deep backstories for the builds and Sims I share have CC in them. It's basically a popularity contest that is rigged from the beginning. Sorry for the cynical approach. I create my sims and my builds for me not for Maxis and I won't change what I create to please them. Again sorry if I sound cold or offensive in any way.
I would rather, we the community, come up with challenges like the 100 baby challenge. From there Maxis can decide which ones they want to put into the game based on how many of us participate. But not create a sim or build unless they will start favouring builds with CC in them.
Why would they favor CC when not everyone uses it? I don't want that stuff clogging my game.

Yes, the gallery could definitely offer some more features. I think they are afraid to let people use custom things online and share them, since then they do not own the content.
I think her point is they exclude builds with CC in them from being featured. Therefore if they ran such a contest she would be excluded as her builds contain CC in them and she wouldn't want to change how she builds just to win a contest with the prize of being featured.
