As title suggests!
If you were given the chance to pick the next game pack... what would it be?
I'd personally would like a city/suburban type of game pack that included different hobbies, new careers and new community lots.
Hobbies that were in Sims 2 and 3.
Careers that haven't been made active.
Community lots like the science centre, movie theatre, community centre etc.

Some of the animations are already in game -- for example, kicking a soccer ball and hitting a baseball are in the Incredible Sports game on the Motion Game Pad (I forget the exact name). Might just need some fine tuning to free them from the machine.
I wouldn't mind seeing a vacation game pack, maybe to a beach resort with a hotel, buffet for dining, gambling, relaxing on the beach, beach volleyball and pool volleyball, maybe fishing with some new ocean fish varieties (sharks, swordfish, etc.). Maybe a chance to find buried pirate's treasures. Players with Spa Day could modify the hotel to add in spa features like massage.

Also, yes please to the sports one. I want more group sports activity like basketball, tennis, volleyball but also more gym machines like the exercise bike, a cross trainer, a squatting rack, etc. And a climbing wall, definitely a climbing wall! Throw in a golf driving range with tennis courts and we can build fancy golf/ fitness clubs (I hope membership in clubs (not like a group in get together, but like a golf club) become a thing).
Kinda turned my newcrest into as futuristic as I can get lol
Or a restaurant Game Pack. That would go well with Get Together. Sims can go out for 3 course meals and have unique interactions at dinner, like playing footsie (ah I loved the Sims 2...), throwing a drink at the table, proposals, eating one another's food etc. Waiters and Chefs could be NPCs and you can have the option to scold or flirt with them....It should also come with formal outfits and hairstyles. I would LOVE that.
A car related GP (like in the surveys, but to make it more GP worthy I would take out the sight seeing)
A restaurant GP. With possible expansion with the Pizza Oven and teriyaki stand.
A Casino GP. Gambling Skill, slot machines and poker tables. Plus a huge variety of Neon signs.
A nursery GP. Not only to accomodate toddlers IF they come, but also to expand on babies. Baby bouncers, infant baths, baby monitors.
I loved the Free Time EP in Sims 2 and would love to have more hobbies in Sims 4. To be honest, there are so many things I'd like to see RETURNED to The Sims that I wouldn't know where to begin listing them. Well, yes, I do. Toddlers are still on the top of my wishlist.
For game packs, I'd like a pack with more romantic interactions such as the old attraction system from Sims 2, either a 🐸🐸🐸🐸 matchmaker (from Sims 2) or online dating sites, and a gift-giving interaction. My sims used to love going shopping in Sims 2 and then giving an item as a gift to someone.
I really miss all the shops we used to have. I've added a few shops to my game with townies as retail owners, but there isn't room for much expansion in our tiny little worlds.
But back to romance. I wish EA/Maxis would remove the linear checklist from dates and allow dates to be "scored" with a system similar to Sims 2. Most of all, I wish there were more romantic whims and that whims were more contextual to the sims' experiences. What I mean is, if a sim is on a romantic date with the love of his life, he shouldn't pop up a whim to buy a dishwasher because of some trait he has. How about getting a whim to kiss the girl? How about a whim to propose? How about a whim to hold hands with his date? And on the same topic, I hate the generic "someone"...such as a whim to "hug someone", "kiss someone", "flirt with someone" or "woo-hoo with someone". For serial romantics, that might be all right, but for sims in committed relationships, it's insulting, IMHO. The whim system is very poorly-designed, but again, that's just my opinion. I much prefer the "wants and fears" from Sims 2 which changed from moment to moment depending on who the sim was with and what the sim was doing.
Wants same.
