Will we ever get a way to customize public spaces?

The public spaces have come a long way, when all there used to be to do was Chess, Gardening, and playgrounds in the public spaces, now there are Basketball courts, musicians, entertainers, food stands, festivals, etc.
While all that is wonderful, will we ever get the ability to customize these ourselves? I can completely understand San Myshuno not being customizable, because the way that world works is different, with many overlays and furniture that constantly changes, sounds like a nightmare to customize.
But what about the other worlds?
Many of us used the set as head cheat and then reset our sims to customize our worlds, but that was "fixed" in the latest patch. Something like that should have never been fixed imo. Remember when Aliens couldn't be customized and we found a work around with the mannequins? I remember Graham commented that he really enjoyed that "bug" and didn't want to "fix" it. We wound up getting a patch that let us customize aliens thankfully.
Many players like to customize their worlds, there were plenty in sims 3 that even liked to build actual worlds themselves. While this isn't that extreme, it would be a push in the right direction.

I think you misunderstood it, public spaces are spaces that is located outside of a lot. Example was in the Neighborhood where the Goth live. Public spaces are playground, the garden and all the object that can be found outside of the lot.

Would be fun to add food kiosks around, too!
Thing is, tho, even with the stuff that goes into the personal inventory, it's not ideal trying to Place In World. My Sim would like to sit on the shore in his lawn chair, thanks for making that possible. Would it be too much to ask if he could face the water, and also, not have his back turned to the person with whom he's trying to converse?
I understand designing two versions of each world, a stand alone and the other with backward compatibility, is impossible for "zero dev time" TS4, especially in played saves, but if I have to go through the trouble of adding objects from other packs where they fit perfectly, at least let me add them to neighborhoods and not just lots.

If you notice this is the first sims game we did not get any neighborhood editing or Build stuff to edit the neighborhood with. We can only edit lots - other wise we break the game apparently.
I understand this game engine has what is called Smart Routing in it - and where the game engine uses the smart routing - only devs can alter those areas.

Each world in Sims 4 is entirely different even down to the terrain objects and routing paths. Also taking into account every object in the ‘world’ is hard coded into the terrain and not a placed object like they were in Sims 3 it seems very unlikely that we will be afforded that kind of customization. I don’t think there’s much they can actually do with the worlds in regards to dynamic customization features. They pick what is included, and build the world to function with that content there.
