I totally agree that I would like to see more pre-tech and magic/supernatural/mystical type stuff. I am behind that all the way, 100%!
However, for a Pack that makes use of all current worlds and functions, I would LOVE an "Accessibility Pack"! Let Sims have hearing aids and mobility devices- I'd love to see Sims getting around with wheelchairs or walkers, or blind Sims with canes or (if you have Cats&Dogs) a service animal. Relatedly, service animals for Sims with epilepsy or anxiety (or PTSD- some of the things these Sims go through is extreme, I mean, watching your friend burn to death in your kitchen? Yikes!)
Build Mode items would be things like wheelchair lifts for stairs, both interior and exterior, or the ability to create ramps in place of stairs. Shorter counters and cabinets for wheelchair users too. Alternately, this would also be a good time to implement the use of elevators in user built structures!
Sims with hearing aids can have actions like "Turn off ears" when in a frustrating conversation with a Sim they don't like, or a debuff for "old battery" for a stress factor- not being able to hear because you forgot to replace the batteries is godawful, or so my Nana tells me!
Hand animations for Sims who use SSL- Simlish Sign Language. They can have a hidden trait- "Knows SSL" or "Doesn't Know SSL", and can choose to study SSL from a book in the bookcase or from studying with an SSL speaking Sim.
Basically, I think a Pack that makes the Sim world a little bit more colorful and inclusive would be WAY cool! Some animations would likely have to be adjusted (kissing, hugging between a standing Sim and a Sim in a wheelchair for example), but I really think this sort of thing could be great!
The first one, a real supernatural pack. We get some supernatural items such as crystal balls, and we have the magicians and vampire now, which is all great and all. But I honestly find the content of those packs rather disappointing so far. I want to be able to give my sims wings, claws, fangs, horns, tails and all other manner of bodily changes. I want to be able to dress them in robes and fighting suits. I want to be able to build treehouses, fantastical castles, swamps, caves.
The second pack I want is a cultural/historical pack. I want flapper dresses, elizabethan age ball gowns, peasant clothing, togas, tartans and kilts, egyptian dresses. I want the ability to build a gothic cathedral and an ancient greek temple, a medieval castle and a dutch townhouse, a hunter's cabin and a pyramid. I have found that so far, some of the items needed are possible, but never in good combinations as you can only build green windows with purple walls and yellow pillars so to speak. None of them can really be matched in colours.
The third pack I want is a pack in which the gruesome reality of life can be shown. I want homeless looks, people with extra fingers, a hunchback, missing limbs, body scars. I want more realistic eye-colours. I want hairstyles that look like you've just walked through a tornado or a rainstorm. I want better tattoos, some that might actually represent some of the generally popular tattoos instead of the current images that pretty much nobody would ever want inked upon their bodies. I want homes that can become overgrown with plants. I want to be able to build a river with a bridge over it. I want the imperfections of life.

i would love the yacht one!,maybe a rich-pack OR like a island-pack .MAO
A pack that improves the gameplay as well as a generations pack with canes/ zimmer frames/ and mid life crises with options to private educated children and teens (on which they can start at a higher level when starting jobs/ higher skills set). Also werewolves and fairies (supernatural) pack. a Middle Eastern Pack with pymriads with clothing options. More diverse clothing for latin, muslims, and other.
I'd really like a pack centered on teens. i would love a well developed cheer hobby+skill would make me very happy. it would give teens more to do which I'd like. it'd be awesome if the cheer practices with your sim could actually be playable, and the teen could perform and compete some routines. it'd also be nice if there was a cheer coaching career for YA + adult sims. Also things like ballet, karate, and other afterschool activities would be a nice add...I also really miss private school and boarding school in the sims. I would be over the moon if there were some playable events, like prom and graduation. It would be fun if they made going to highschool playable and spiced up the teen drama more with stuff like secret parties, sneaking out, exam stress, popularity gameplay, crushes, gossip--you get the idea. honestly i don't know if this would be very well-received though cause there are other life stages that have way less gameplay like babies and elders....i think a large part of me wanting a teen pack is cause im homeschooled rn I'd like to live vicariously through my sims, lol.

I'ld love this. Actually i have decreased my teens' lifespan because i only see a reason to play teens: to get to level 5 in one skill so that they can enter a special degree, and only for the few that will take a degree... there are no meaningful experiences that only teens can go through. Just some talk interactions of no relevance...
I just want ACTUAL houseplants. Plants that need to be watered just like the outside ones, and placed by either the windows or under grow lights. I'm honestly surprised they haven't done anything like this with how popular plants have become lately!
Edit to my original comment about functional houseplants, I have created a list of features/interactions:
-Green thumb trait: This trait would give them a considerable advantage when getting into houseplants and taking care of them. Higher success rates/knowledge, and more affected by what happens with their plants/buffs. (Reward Trait: Plant parent). Reward trait will give them high success with treatments/whatever they do with their plants, the very minimal chance that their plants will die.
-Skill: Could be called the "green thumb" skill and have it be a mini skill like ice skating. The more knowledge you have about houseplants (could be earned from reading a book or just taking care of them and learning as you go), the better you get at identifying their issues like when they need to be watered, what pests they have and how to treat it, what to fertilize with/when to, etc. Higher skill levels could take cuttings and even make hybrids/crossbreeds similar to the gardening skill.
-Growth: Having a couple of stages that the plants go through, (seedling/cutting, immature plant, in-between phase, another in-between phase, and fully mature plant). The ability to take cuttings from a plant once it is fully mature and then plant it in a pot to start the process all over again with that cutting. You could also have things that could speed up or slow down the growth of the plants. Things to speed it up: fertilizing it, a humidifier, a grow light. Things to slow it down: off-season (fall/winter), pests, non-filtered water, etc. Different types of plants grow different so you could have trailing plants like pothos or heartleaf philodendron that eventually trail once mature enough, or climbers like the monstera deliciosa that get bigger leaves and fenestrations (holes) when they mature.
-Watering: having your sim need to water them after a certain amount of time, maybe customized to similar watering times like IRL? Leaves turning yellow and then brown when not being watered/neglected. Could have the option to water with tap water or filtered water, filtered water could speed up the growing process.
-Pests: A need for a pest solution to be applied You could have two different options like "natural pest repellent" and "chemical/not natural pest repellent" and each would have a different success rate along with the natural one being free and the non-natural one having a price. Some possible pest ideas would be spider mites, fungus gnats, mealybugs, etc. Could also have lower green thumb skill leveled sims have an interaction like "treat for unknown pest" which could have a low success rate, and when they are higher in the green thumb skill could be able to identify what pest it is and treat it accordingly with a much higher success rate. Also, an option (although this may be much harder to do), have infestations if left untreated to surrounding plants if in a certain radius from the affected one.
-Fertilizing: You could have natural fertilizer that you could apply or a chemical one (much like the pest treatment, one could be free and the other have a price), and applying it would change the "quality" of the plant/growth rate.
-Pots: Cute pots!! (enough said, lol). Some nice terra cotta pots, or ceramic ones, hanging pots for ones that hang, etc. You could also have pot stands, baskets, or hangers that certain pots could go into/on.
-Types of plants: Monstera Deliciosa (climbing plant), Snake Plant (upright growing), Heartleaf Philodendron (trailing), Pothos (trailing), Cacti, and Succulents, etc. Each plant has a different look (some similar) when growing, like a snake plant would get bigger and then multiply within the pot, so say you start with 3 leaves, would grow another at another stage/get taller, etc. I have tons of other more high-level collector plants I'd love to see in-game as well!
-Buffs: "New growth!" - Sim becomes happy that there is new growth when the plant moves on to the next stage. "Pest infestation" - Sim becomes tense or disgusted. "Plant died" sim becomes sad that they were unable to keep this plant alive, maybe it just wasn't the right plant for them. "Plant propagated" Excited that they will be able to grow another plant from their older plants! Etc

I want full-on rock & roll drama in my game. 2) Other Musical Acts : Form a dance group/R&B/Jazz/Orchestra or Solo career. 3) Charts : Standalone gameplay system that compatible with GF Fame system. 4) Fashion Model Career : Work your way to become a fashion & cultural phenomenon. 5) Manager/Talent Agents/Record Company : Hire sims with talent and make them big.

My dream pack would be a romance pack! It could have new romance themed objects for Sims to interact with, and Sims could have new romantic interactions with each other. Dating could also possibly get an update with the pack too. I think that would be great!
I do like the idea of Werewolves. They go hand and hand with Vampires but what I would really like is a pack that is for musicians. Bring in many more instruments for to pay like a bass guitar and Drum Kit and a gong for some examples. Also it could include a recording studio to record music and create bands and maybe the ability to go on Gigs. The agent (who could also work for sports and actor/comedians) and producer could also be new professions.
A extreme weather pack! (Tornados, hurricane ice storms) maybe with a storm chaser career and a new world that all those things could happen in. My favorite pack is seasons but I find extreme weather interesting and I think it would be so fun to have your sims have to take shelter from the storms 🤣

Comments
However, for a Pack that makes use of all current worlds and functions, I would LOVE an "Accessibility Pack"! Let Sims have hearing aids and mobility devices- I'd love to see Sims getting around with wheelchairs or walkers, or blind Sims with canes or (if you have Cats&Dogs) a service animal.
Relatedly, service animals for Sims with epilepsy or anxiety (or PTSD- some of the things these Sims go through is extreme, I mean, watching your friend burn to death in your kitchen? Yikes!)
Build Mode items would be things like wheelchair lifts for stairs, both interior and exterior, or the ability to create ramps in place of stairs.
Shorter counters and cabinets for wheelchair users too. Alternately, this would also be a good time to implement the use of elevators in user built structures!
Sims with hearing aids can have actions like "Turn off ears" when in a frustrating conversation with a Sim they don't like, or a debuff for "old battery" for a stress factor- not being able to hear because you forgot to replace the batteries is godawful, or so my Nana tells me!
Hand animations for Sims who use SSL- Simlish Sign Language. They can have a hidden trait- "Knows SSL" or "Doesn't Know SSL", and can choose to study SSL from a book in the bookcase or from studying with an SSL speaking Sim.
Basically, I think a Pack that makes the Sim world a little bit more colorful and inclusive would be WAY cool! Some animations would likely have to be adjusted (kissing, hugging between a standing Sim and a Sim in a wheelchair for example), but I really think this sort of thing could be great!
The first one, a real supernatural pack. We get some supernatural items such as crystal balls, and we have the magicians and vampire now, which is all great and all. But I honestly find the content of those packs rather disappointing so far. I want to be able to give my sims wings, claws, fangs, horns, tails and all other manner of bodily changes. I want to be able to dress them in robes and fighting suits. I want to be able to build treehouses, fantastical castles, swamps, caves.
The second pack I want is a cultural/historical pack. I want flapper dresses, elizabethan age ball gowns, peasant clothing, togas, tartans and kilts, egyptian dresses. I want the ability to build a gothic cathedral and an ancient greek temple, a medieval castle and a dutch townhouse, a hunter's cabin and a pyramid. I have found that so far, some of the items needed are possible, but never in good combinations as you can only build green windows with purple walls and yellow pillars so to speak. None of them can really be matched in colours.
The third pack I want is a pack in which the gruesome reality of life can be shown. I want homeless looks, people with extra fingers, a hunchback, missing limbs, body scars. I want more realistic eye-colours. I want hairstyles that look like you've just walked through a tornado or a rainstorm. I want better tattoos, some that might actually represent some of the generally popular tattoos instead of the current images that pretty much nobody would ever want inked upon their bodies. I want homes that can become overgrown with plants. I want to be able to build a river with a bridge over it. I want the imperfections of life.
