Ironically, the 90s style are very in current style wise.
well... it was the Golden Age after all, movies and tv shows especially Spider-Man the animated series were great, skate boards were popular, we had the Koolaid man crashing into walls, lite brites, Beast Wars, Pokemon, 90s fashion hasn't died out, people still wear hoodies and jeans to this day, everything was cool and radical, it's also the era where I rejected humanity in favor of machines.
Back in TS2 days, I had my own forum for it which included a board for members to partner with others to write and post roleplay stories. I partnered with a member and together we developed a story set in the Pleiocene Epoch of the Ice Age 25,000 years ago. It was called Mammoth Mountain. My character was Kimmba. I would LOVE it if we had a gameplay pack in such an era since my partner and I had a plot outline with characters, settings, etc. well fleshed out to write.
Here's my TS2 character I made and a header for the story. *Note - There were no dinosaurs in this era, only wooly mammoth, saber-toothed tigers, cave lions & bears, wooly rhinos and aurochs. Probably not very realistic to expect they could do something like this, but one can dream.
Realistically, I would love something for the 60s or 70s eras. Especially 70s since that's when I was a teen, late 70s, early 80s. Think That 70s Show.
I love the idea of a Victorian/Edwardian/Art Nouveau collection. I also like the 1930's Art Deco style. There could be a Goth/Georgian (1700's) for all your formal goth, Marie Antionette, vampire and piratey needs.
70 AC. I want an Ancient Rome Pack with columns, horse races, a gladiator career and the volcano Simsuvius destroying Pomsimvi.
Yes please! We already have a legionary outfit from the Halloween pack, now we need a fully-fledged ancient world
Maybe they could introduce a Sim world with 3-4 different neighbourhoods and each neighbourhood could be one of the main ancient civilisations of the Old World, for example ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, ancient Rome and Celts. The BB & CAS items would be awesome - even to use in other worlds. Think of the columns, pottery, cauldrons, jewellery...
Gotta be the stone age. I always wanted one of those dino cranes and the first sim baby will be called Pebbles.
But yeah - 60s would be good

Not sure what era this was, but the industrial age might be cool- with farming, city life, and possibly becoming an entrepreneur (did I spell that right?). Discover steel, own a factory, and be the first one to invent the Simlish version of (insert idea here). What businesses will rise to the top, and what ones will fail...?

We all know that my business will rise to the top, I present to you Slayboy Magazines for all your undead needs , we got sexy models like Queen Bonehilda, The Grim Reaper and The amazing the Vatore Siblings, we also have assortment of ghost models if you're into that.
I would DIE for a Victorian Pack. Clothing from all of those decades would kill me. From the circular crinoline skirts of the 1840s-60s to the Bustle skirts of the 1870s-80s to the gigantic poufy sleeves of the 90s.

My absolute, swear to GOD favourite of these decades in fashion is the 1870s. The bustle skirts are a look and a mood.
Maybe one that hasn't happened yet? I'd like a future utopian (rather than the now-worn-out dystopian) one, kind of like the Gene Roddenberry future optimism, high-tech, space-diaspora thing, but I seriously doubt that's practical. Certainly not in Sims4.
One thing I'm so very tired of, is Sims4 being so overly focused on looks, instead of meaty, pithy, exciting gameplay. I do not CARE about clothes. Or furniture past a certain point. Simply dressing up dolls and decorating interiors gets old fast, without meaningful gameplay. And when the gameplay is good enough, how the characters are dressed hardly even matters: it's not the focus of the play. What color jerseys the team wore doesn't matter at all compared to how they played, what happened.
I want things to happen, not just look a certain way, and it seems like more and more emphasis is being given to just...looks. What's the point of a Sim wearing this or that, if all they can really do is go around wearing things and changing clothes so they can then wear something else? And how many coffee tables do we actually need? Do we even need coffee tables if it's not a mid-20th-century set complete with laughtrack?
I'll stop ranting now, I just don't enjoy a Sims game that is increasingly just a dollhouse. I want action, adventure, the unexpected. Enough with useless window-dressing. This is also why I now play Sims3.

victorian era would actually be the perfect time period for an occult GP, Maybe werewolves, perhaps fairies might be another possibly or even the elusive frakensim monster, the victorian was when supernatural creatures peaked, after that era everybody stopped believing in them.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I'd really like to see a 90's-early-mid 00's pack, the grunge, 90's bands influence, I forget the names of a few.. maybe a mix of Nirvana to EnVogue, TLC, Aaliyah, Destiny's Child, Britney, Avril etc. I guess other people can chime into this, but yeah.. something like that, plus the fashion, the bright colors, the amazing hair styles.. from the women to men, it was in my opinion a unique time, you don't see a lot of that even today, I wouldn't even say fashion stood out too much after the end of the 2010's, but that's just me of course.
Definitely not a full EP, but a stuff pack dedicated to the weird, wacky, stuff that came from Y2K fashion would be nice. They could even reuse some of the sims 2's concept art for cas and bb assets, like Ophelia Nigmos's shirt.

The one I least wish to see is 60's/70's.
