Do you ever remember a major update/rework to past DLC?

Some of the discussions I have seen and been a part of have gotten me thinking about this; do you ever remember there being a large update or rework to DLC content? Because I do not. Huge things like toddlers (and the early game update like pools and ghosts) were always base game. Even when they updated smaller things like the photography skill they made it base game first.
I suppose it does not matter to the core question, but the discussions that made me think about this are DLC for DLC discussions. For the record, I am neutral to the concept at base. Bad content = no purchase. Good content = purchase. When I see conversations asking about whether or not you would pay for a new pack elaborating on content we have, I see a lot of it devolving into saying it should be a free update. While I'd love that as much as the next person, it brings me back to the titular question: do you ever remember a major update/rework to past DLC?

Some examples that come to mind are Sims' reactions to celebrities from Get Famous, and building your own apartments in City Living. They never changed either of those feature even though people complained.
They did update swimming for Britechester after Island Living, but that's the only world they've changed it for.
Unfortunately, I doubt they'll update the features with Eco Lifestyle (annoying NAPs, Eco Meter) unless there are a lot of complaints.
Island living came out before University, or do you mean Brindleton Bay?
I just meant to say that they made it so you can swim in the canal in Britechester for the University pack, and that's the only pack after Island Living that you have swimmable oceans in. I don't think you can swim in Brindleton Bay?
Brindleton Bay, though... I remember something about Brindleton Bay waters being in patch notes, but for the life of me cannot remember the specifics. I do not think it is swimmable like IL water, though, but I have not exactly taken a mermaid out and tried. I guess I would have expected to hear more about it if you could.
No, you can't. But I thought Britechester came with Open Water, not updated to have it added later.
I haven't been part of this community long enough to tell if other packs have had a major update, but it doesn't seem to have happened since I started playing last spring.
I don’t know why they would ask about it in the community survey if they weren’t considering it.
The original post can be found here and I think the above pretty much states my opinion on the subject. Sorry for the OT included, but I don't have the time atm to change it fully to fit this topic.
Oh really? What did they change? Or are you just talking about the recent toning down of the "vampire night attacks" like they did with alien abductions?
For example Perfect Patio has no unique gameplay item now cause they gave us a hot tub for the base game. And it being the SP with the least items makes it even worse.
