The current survey circulating right now asks about which 3 existing packs could use additions. I’m curious how people responded to this question and what their ideas are for additions that might be good.
I personally put Get to Work, Island Living, and Dine Out. I would love them to add a ticket machine to Get to Work like they had for Open for Business that would allow you to charge entry for venues. In general I rarely have sims run their own businesses bc the system doesn’t really work well. More active careers, like firefighter or something like that, would also be great. For Island Living, vacation elements were seriously lacking- no hotels, no way to vacation in the world, etc. For Dine Out I mostly just want them to improve restaurants. Some more restaurant options wouldn’t hurt either (pizza parlor, for one).
Anyway, what are other people’s ideas?

Get To Work: I figured they could add more active careers, revamp the retail system, and maybe add some component for owning a lot without it being a retail lot.
Get Together: I honestly don't know how they can improve it, but I feel like there's potential there to add some more components of Sims doing things in groups so maybe more group activities or outings or something. Also maybe they'll add more club features. Idk, this one I just was like...they'll think of something cool to add that I can't think of that I'll end up really loving lol.
Get To Work and Get Together are two of the packs, in my opinion, that I feel offer the most integration possibilities of other packs into their key features, so making them better can only make other packs better.
Dine Out: I figured since this one is known to be quite buggy, it would allow an opportunity to fix it and make it playable.
Island living - For obvious reasons.
Get to Work - This is a good pack and they need to tweak it abit like making it so that we can stay at work if we want to. Working as a doctor feels like it's just me working and no one else is working so I can't take on a lot of the patients coming through. And it's buggy.
City Living - I want buildable apartments and to remove the lot traits from certain apartments. But otherwise it's okay besides the bugs.
Dine Out - An amazing pack when it works. Buggy and it takes too long for food to come and sims don't eat.
Since I could only select 3 I removed City Living.

(not always sims related but I review and discuss television shows and movies. Foreign or not.)
I play on console and PC now! YAY!
I was talking about this on other thread so I'll just paste it here
I pretty much have idea for all of these packs though
one could always improve something

Get To Work - The pack is OK. Aliens need a major update on their powers. There's nothing much on them. So bringing a few powers like they had in Sims 3 is great, but please. Don't focus their new powers too much on emotions. Retail system on the customers are too slow to browse, and that's why it feels boring to fill their interest by talking to them. So faster more or instantly would help it. I don't mind if they add an extra active career like Firefighting, my most wanted career.
Island Living - Not much to do and it doesn't feel like a tropical getaway. While I don't mind the island being livable, but these tropical destinations/worlds relate on vacationing. So adding that as a optional gameplay would fix most problems. And mermaids, like the aliens. They felted too nerfed. Adding new powers wouldn't mind to make them more useful in oceans or lands equally.
Dine Out - Despite a great pack. But it's too buggy, despite the fix of adding more customers. Chefs and waiters are too slow to response and take forever to prepare food.
GTW - The aliens need extra attention. Besides, I hope that we could have a different species of Alien too. For retail, I wish that we can have an option for multiple lot option & perhaps home business too. Besides, instead of just selling goods, it would be interesting if the Sims can sell services too. For example, the style influencer career can open an office to provide advice (which indirectly, can help to change some of the NPC fashions)
GT - The club system is great but I wish that we can have more option for the club banners, the perks, fame system integration, etc. It would be great if there's an organisation in the club system (where the leader/treasury can be appointed based on votes) too.
CL- Adding more events such as pets competition event (why do I need my Sims to train the pet if they're not getting evaluated and win some medals), weirder & funkier event such as steampunk festival, etc. Besides, I wish that the events can be added to the calendar too.
I picked Get to Work in the hopes that aliens get worked on more, I'd like to see them have a skill tree. I also wouldn't mind another active career or two.
I picked Island Living hoping for mermaids to get a skill tree as well. I'd also like to see some way to vacation there. They were asking about hotels and resorts on the survey, they could add them here.
I picked Discover University for my third. I want to see things like meters to tell me how well my sim is progressing, I want to know what buildings my classes are in. Going to soccer games and e-sports games should move the fun meter up. When you graduate add a trait or two.
I'm sure I could come up with extra ideas for every pack, but fixing all of the occults was top priority for me.
Dine Out - This pack could use some better design. The waiters have a hard time cleaning up, the chefs take too long to cook. The eating mechanic seems to break with every patch, sometimes they will eat the food. Sometimes they will not. There are also a lot of food from other packs that has not been added to this pack. I really like going to the restaurant with my sims but it takes too long and does not work very well.
Island Living - It felt rushed, there so much potential to add more here, resorts, better mermaids, better deep diving, more lots, more stuff to do overall.
Cat's and Dogs - This pack feels like it was designed around curing pets, dealing with their problems and not so much about the joy that comes with owning a pet. My pets are constantly sick, their needs seem to decay when I am not playing them and it feels like there is more we could do with them.
Get to Work for better Aliens & Planet
Strangerville to be able to turn off the weirdness
City Living to fix the Festivals & get rid of the weird outfits.
- in GTW i would only want to be able to run a retail shop at home lot;
- in Parenthood, more activities for all ages, something like turning it more into Generations.
- in GF i would want it to have bands and concerts.
I choose Parenthood because we need Preteens, more rebellion.
We need more Generation stuff.
City Living because I want more apartments
Jungle Adventure because I want my Sims to be able to live in Selvadorada full time, not just vacation there
Outdoor Retreat because I can’t remember the last time I sent my Sims to Granite Falls but I know I was bored out of my mind. They definitely need more activities to do there because as of right now, it’s lacking. It definitely feels like your Sim is just at home.
I also chose City Living to allow us to build apartments elsewhere.
@M1ss_Plumbum You can refer to this survey time There's the link to the survey.
I chose GTW, Island Living, and ROM as the packs I'd like to see updated.
For GTW I'm most interested in Aliens being updated and given more to do. Maybe expand Sixam and make it a livable world with more lots. The illnesses could also use an update with a low chance of getting a fatal disease that requires hospital care. All of the active careers could use an update too, but mostly for bugs.
For Island Living I'd really like to see some underwater lots where sims could scuba dive and mermaids could explore. A few more beach activities would be nice as well like burying a sim in sand or throwing a Frisbee. Maybe romantically involved sims could sit on a beach towel together and make out/cuddle. One small thing I really need is unique tombstones/urns for mermaids and maybe a bassinet.
For ROM I really just want more spells and for kids to have a few unique spells of their own. Maybe more interactions for familiars as well. Otherwise I'm good.
For Seasons, I want more holiday traditions for seasons, I want to be able to choose which sim likes/dislikes which tradition, I want the traditions to include everyone in the family (aside from obvious child inappropriate ones like streaking and drinking), I want more decorations and more summer actives like a pol party, etc.
For C&D, I really just want to be able to control pets and see their needs and I'd like pet houses and/or crates. I doubt this'll happen, but I really want more cat and small dog breeds added. There are so many popular breeds that aren't in the game. Munchkins, American Curls, Snowshoes, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Chinese Crested, Toy Poodle, etc.
Parenthood could give more focus to babies-teens. Yeah, it's about the parents, but I think babies-teens should have gotten more content. Babies need an overhaul (which should be a patch), and giving them more through Parenthood would be great. Traits for babies, cribs, clothes would be fine. More for pregnancy could be great, like being able to have more multiples. Kids could get treehouses, bunk beds, and pranks. Teens could have new aspirations and pranks as well. For the parents, I'd like for them to have more parent related traits, like good parent, bad parent, overprotective parent, lax parent, etc. Family outings would be nice to have as well, like picnics.
City Living: I WANT TO BUILD MY OWN APARTMENTS AND OTHER LOTS WITH MULTIPLE HOUSES!!!
Get to Work: Would love some new playable careers.
Realm of Magic: I want some new stuff for kids. Maybe there could be a magic school (playable please!!!) or they could just start to learn magic from their parents? I also just want the magic to be more integrated into the lifestyle. Right now it's easier to live normally than to put effort into learning magic so that you can use it.
Get to Work because I'm hoping they'll:
- improve the retail system
- add the ability to live above a business
- add a ticket machine like the one in TS3 store
- add the ability to create multi-purpose lots
- add the ability to easily choose our own created sims for employees
- provide an option to disable aliens.
My sims are tired of lazy employees and being molested by aliens.
City Living because I'm hoping for functional elevators and buildable apartments.
Island living because I miss wind surfing as well as building, running and staying at resorts. I'm also tired of the constant autonomous shell collecting.
Whatever wins, I'm hoping my existing packs won't be further ruined by more invasive aliens, mermaid, spirits, etc without an option to turn them off.
I think another one I chose was Jungle Adventures? I don't know what they could do, but I love that one so much. Maybe more temple layouts, or making it more obvious what you have to do to disable traps?
The other one I think was Get to Work, because of aliens, but it also might have been City Living? I really don't remember.
Truth about Sixam I finally went and was like...this is it??? They should've made it more exciting if not a livable lot then you know give something more worth exploring or something.
Island Living - obviously.
and the last one is Get Famous. I love this expansion but hate Del Sol Valley. It's such a BORING city and there's nothing to do with it!
Especially Starlight Boulevard! they write about it - "When it comes to night life Starlight Boulevard can not be beat". WHAT!? It's a lie.
Get to Work: more active careers and updates to the ones in game
Island Living: more depth to the pack, updates to mermaids
Realm of Magic: more spells/potions and updates to familiars
