With how they neglect men so much, maybe a stuff pack just for men could be an idea?
It could come with a free update that adds body hair, the stuff pack could add some additional body hair options and a large selection of facial hair, some new hairstyles too including several balding hairstyles.
And the clothing selection could be chosen by regular men, men who don't care for dumb fashion trends, weird pants, etc. Just regular clothes that regular men like to wear.
Like some normal jeans in various colours without weird stripes, weird lengths, ripped everywhere or other weird stuff. Maybe some worn old sport shoes, old jackets, some new shirts with prints, and maybe some nice suits.
Maybe some new hats and sunglasses too, some gloves, maybe tattoos.
For objects maybe a furniture set fit for a bachelor pad, I think sims 3 had something like that in the Diesel pack.
Plenty of it could of course still be used for women but for this stuff pack men could be the focus for once, to finally get them some descent clothes and more beard and hair options.

It would probably be easier to get things based around your desired themes, rather than a blanket masculinity pack. Kind of like the Diesel pack you mentioned. Then again, I cannot really decisively name those themes either.
Ruggedness? We already have camping with OR; Adventures/ruin exploration with JA; off the grid was introduced around IL.
Grunge? We do not have a lot here. Some came with EL and CL, but not much to write home about.
Some stereotypical avenues would be sports or cars. The former being drip fed piece by piece in various packs and the latter currently stuck as decor. I am not sure this would be the right route anyway.
Honestly, a male apparel brand pack is probably the best thing that could happen for this, the more that I think about it. I am not sure what they would do for the gameplay part, but there has to be something.
Oops I just mentioned my crushes, lol.
The Sims 4 MANLY STUFF
This is a pack for true manly man
doing man things looking manly in manly clothes manning his way thru life
to get really good perspective on manly manliness we went to a bar and asked Man Manly what he would like to see and we hope that this is enough cause no one wants to do that girly nitpick survey stuff right.
So here we have about 20 cas items that all look really manly (mediocre at best) and this random machine cause don't we all know manly manliness is all about machines
we also added new bar for manly men to gather at and few nice looking beers (juice)
and new arm wrestling table so you can show off those muscles.
okay jokes aside
if i wasn't already completely sick of stuff packs i suppose this could be better than the inevitable croptops sp 18
i don't personally really vibe with sports clothing or like the casual jeans stuff but i would like better suits, formal shirts, hairs, beards and mustaches and body hair
and i do think that some stereotypical man activities could be fun to have for a change

So I don't see the point of a gendered pack.
Perhaps what you really mean is that you want a butch pack.
2016??!
....
*runs into bathroom frantically looking for shavers.*
But I would love an arm wrestling table. It could be part of the gaming table interactions:
Play cards with...
Play that llama game with...
Play sabacc with...
Armwrestle with...
Throw Table...
Anyway. I don’t think we need a Man Stuff pack. Just make those pants look less awkward on our sims in the next 30 packs and give the boys a bit more in general. And don’t bejewel them pants. None of that now.
Just Plain. Comfy. Classy.
We could use a new body hair menu though. Make them count at least.
And more man buns.
yeah I would actually really love it back
we had one in urbz gasoline row and it was fun

To be honest, I'd like to see more of this for all genders.
Maybe they should do a Normcore pack.
Oh my sweet summer child! You need to get out more. I know, hard to do during a pandemic, so perhaps you could watch some Chinese historical or fantasy dramas at home, they have loads of fancy manbuns.
What I really think this game lacks, both in CAS and BB, is content for the everyday, poor or ugly. Look at those hairstyles, they are mostly trendy. A balding male has two(?) options??? There are hardly any hairstyle that is plain ugly in the i-could-not-care-less manner. I mean, although some ppl visit a hairdresser regularly for fanciness, there are plenty of ppl not doing so, not just because they want to put their money elsewhere, but lots of ppl actually live happy and "unfancy". I remember in TS2 there was a wacko hairstyle which was actually the random result by a poorly skilled hairdresser - I used that as a standard with lots of poor sims, LOL.
Also, there could be more clothes for poor sims. There are a few simple items, but unless you want plain tee, most items still look too costy for real poor families. We got a hiking set with OR, but even the repaired outfits from ECO looks more cool than poor. Again, I'm not necessarily talking about filthy slobs, that is something else, but simpleness. They don't need to be dirty, just with less decor and jewelry. For furniture I think we have options, but even in that department there could be more options. Hardly any beds are very cheap, instead they look designer or very comfy. Cheap furniture don't need to be totally worn, although I'd love to see a few swatches where simple design has a worn version. And by cheap, the comfort/room/skill values should also be lower. I think there were more cheap furniture in TS3.
I guess EA knows that 99% of simmers prefer playing royalty or fashion, though, so my poor dream might never be realized. It's the disadvantage of online games, the developer can track what items we actually use, and then they give us more of that rather than seeing that we use the glitzy stuff because we actually have no simple stuff.
Quite a lot more, and women can still use quite a bit of that of course.
But it feels like all stuff for men is always just tossed in as an afterthought and rarely is anything that real life men wear. Like the game is made by women who never interacted with men.
They could do something like the diesel accesoires pack of sims 3 or such, some branded pack focused mostly on men's wear. Of a brand that a lot of men actually wear, and not some lame high fashion garbage.
Male sims just need a little attention, they already interact in a very feminine way because all sims move the same. In previous sims games this was not so much as I recall.
I agree with the diesel pack, for me it's a must have stuff packs because it contains many normal looking cas items for male sims, here hoping the next pack male sims will get more love.
