Batuu was a bit of a flop. My first pet stuff was a flop and Get to work was a bit of a flop.
What packs would you like to see in the future?
I would love to see a music pack because my sims often have one of their hobbies as music and I think that skill could be taken further with like, say music concerts. I don't think there would be enough to work with to make it a game pack or an expansion, so it would be a stuff pack.
An education pack would also be cool, but I'm not sure how it would work with the like following your sims to school like in get to work you follow them to work.
after school activities pack? I think (correct me if I am wrong) the only 'after school careers' are scouts (seasons) and drama class (get famous) it would be cool to see some activities like;
Basketball/ Netball/ Soccer/ Tennis/ you get the idea clubs
Arts and Crafts club
Gaming club
Politics game pack where you could be a politician ( I know this comes with city living) and your sims could elect the governments and the governments could have different polices and if your sims became prime minister or something like that they could change the polices?
Electronics game pack stuff pack where there could be an app store on the ipad or computer?

Packs I'd like to see in the future (not necessarily in order):
A pirate seafaring adventure
Superheroes and Villains
Werewolves
Fairy Tales
Romance and dating
Apocalypse
Happy Haunts
Get to work? I don’t know how well received that went but I don’t consider it a flop as it’s one of my favorite expansions packs (even though there can be improvements in it)
Batuu was badly received. worse then I’ve ever seen & rightfully so but there are those that are enjoying it. As for sales, we probably won’t hear about it anytime soon.
As for what I would like to see in the sims 4 is gameplay depth & bug fixes . That’s my main concern before they release any new packs. with every pack comes bugs & they have yet to fully fix many of the bugs that were brought with eco living , the windows update , gardening etc. without those fixes it makes my game unplayable. Gameplay depth is very lacking & despite all the packs I own it still doesn’t change the fact that it’s shallow at its core. I would also like for them to improve & update existing worlds (Sulani with underwater lots, more water activities to do. Sims 2 & 3 both had amazing interactions you can do compare to sims 4. Sims 4 island living is very lackluster ( here’s a comparison video:
Get to work could use improvement in the doctor career by adding more nurses & actually have them work instead of being on their phone and slacking off, add more to aliens & improve that sad place called Sixam. I would also like for them to add more professions as it’s a ripe off compare to sims 3 ambitions ( here’s another comparison that shows how much more we got for our bucks back in the day:

A music pack is somewhere at the top of my list. Putting it in a stuff pack because there’s not enough to work with? Yikes!
My idea of a music pack is EP worthy (Probably 2) and it includes options to create bands, musical ensembles, choirs, perform gigs. It would also add more music instruments and skills (where are me drums?!). Going to a concert or playing at one should be a new experience (combination of TS3 Late Night and Showtime perhaps?). Get famous will finally make sense to me if I can play with my talented but incredibly arrogant Rockstar! 🎸
Other than that...plenty of occult stuff: everything that has been mentioned already in this thread. Also worlds without modern background buildings or just no buildings at all. If we’re not getting a CAW tool I need them with lots of empty lots. And underwater worlds with empty lots. And cars. Horses and Unibeasts too. But I don’t want them to spawn everywhere like Judith Ward. Oh no.
I love your ideas of a music pack, an education pack and a politics pack. I'ld also want a real estate pack with the ability to own and run hotels and multiple houses. And i wish sims 4 don't end without werewolves and horses...
Imo get to work wasn't a flop. I love the retail system, that accepts any product to be sold, and the active professions.
Reducing teen height slightly (there is a mod for this and it works perfectly) and pretty much everything that was in the ts3 version.
That. Also a medieval pack.
Oh my, of course! I'd like a fantasy Medieval pack with dragons!
2. Drums and marimba bands and world instruments (sitar, digerydoo, panpipes, saxophones)
3. Better dancing and slow dancing
4. Bipolar needs meters (can be too full or too hungry, too lethargic, too oversocialized, dehydrated, etc)
5. More tattoos, body hair, wrinkles
6. Landline phones (as decor pieces)
7. A printing press, publish your own newspaper
8. Non-binary pronouns
9. Split-level entry homes. Sunken family rooms
10. Round walls - even if we can't decorate them!
I would also say just because something sells well doesn't mean it was well-received either. I always feel like EA only cares about how many copies they sell instead of how many people were actually satisfied with the pack and the gameplay. I mean I've bought almost all the packs besides two and I don't think all of them are great. That's what reviews are for and feedback and if the feedback and reviews are split or mostly negative than I would say that the pack was a flop no matter how many copies it sold.
I love your ideas too. A world music pack would be amazing. Hopefully could include an ocarina too. Basically I want something not so hollywood wise for a music pack, so I like your idea of a music pack much better than mine. Why I love forums with bouncing off ideas with other Simmers. That needs meter sounds interesting, maybe not that name since my sister has that, but I like the idea of it. I wouldn't mind landline phones as a gameplay option too for storytelling. A printing press would be amazing.
& as long as they’re making profit from these packs they don’t care about the feedback from the player base which is why we were told not to have any expectations on future packs as they are not going to deliver what most of the fan base has been wanting since the start.
Other packs on my wish list:
Werewolves
Romance
Generations
Horses
Hotels/vacation
Hobbies
Cars/transport
Fairies
Historical/medieval
