I voted for clothes, hairstyles, and accessories for all packs before Seasons. To give all those sims summer and winter outfits. To have a free base game update to add some added coats and boots.
Also to be able to save combined outfits in CAS and to have the game pick those for game generated sims, without having to use a mod for this task.
I’d love to see some of the CAS assets updated since it’s been nearly a decade and the sims team has improved so much on their meshing and texturing. In fact, they’ve improved so much, some of the base game items look really odd contrasted against the newer options. I think it’s especially noticeable on some of the hairs.
That said, I’m not expecting anything because this would be a pretty huge undertaking. It’s not that the base game hairs look bad, it’s just that you can tell that the Sims team has improved so, so much over the years and the newer items really outshine the older ones.
The town I would want to update is Copperdale but I really should've just voted pack. I would add an apartment complex where the motel shell is across from the fairgrounds. I would update the game so NPC sims would ride and walk around the pier area. I would get rid of the kid monkey bars on a High School Campus at the auditorium. I don't know why they didn't just make a pull up bar for the teenagers to exercise on.
I want build mode to be updated with more options.
Although, if we had to update a pack or something, I would want outdoor living to be updated with more stuff.
I wanted to hop in and say a huge thank you to everyone for voting and commenting on my poll, it made me really happy! Secondly, I wholeheartedly agree with everyone, there are even some things I hadn't thought about but hearing it from others, I can see why they can be problems.

My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
Base updated, upgraded & refreshed for the following:
Garden Plants fixed
Ghosts that don’t always break things
Permanent Plantsim Lifestate
Tweens Lifestate
Spiral Stairs
Drums
Drivable Cars/Trucks/Vans
30 Color Swatches with Sliders for Hair & Outfits
Sleepable Heartshape Bed
Also, the game is still not good for brown skin colors. Most the "brown" skin colors" are gray, orange, or red. There's not enough brown skins that look brown.
I quite agree, they never look natural. White skintones are more than enough in variety, but the rest is straight up yellow, orange, or gray.
If I could have anything, I would want to fix lag time between order and interaction, and the problem with Sims constantly cancelling interactions for no reason. Also simplifying the pie menus so there aren't so many choices. For example, the refrigerator. You could replace "make lunch" "serve lunch" and "cook" with just "cook" and put it on the stove, not the fridge. Fridge options would just be "eat leftovers" "clean out spoiled food" and "have quick meal." Salads should be folded into quick meals rather than under cooking. Baking should be on the oven. Cakes should be under the baking option for everyone who has this skill in their game. We just really need this kind of clean-up after so much DLC.
In terms of DLC refresh, I want a Dine Out/Retail Lot overhaul that opens up more businesses for Player ownership, improves employee AI, allows played Sims to work in all roles, allows the use of player-grown produce in restaurants. Adds specialized displays to really be able to do a nice grocery store or florist (buckets of flowers, stacks of produce, dairy fridge etc.). Incorporates all of the types of foods into the restaurant kitchen in matching stations (confections, ice cream, drinks, roast meats, expresso and tea, etc.). Lets you create and name recipes, brew alcohol from produce, adds a drunkenness effect with a euphemistic name, improves mixology profits and buffs, adds a décor score to the rep of your venue etc. etc.
I definitely would like more careers and even more so an overhaul of freelance careers, they just feel repetitive and without much to gain over time because there is no real overview. Something like the pop up for the dream decorator career would make so much sense and just add to that. What I am thinking is: - an overview of tasks you have done and clients comments - meeting other freelancers so you can also have work buddies - possibility do team up with other freelancers, if they aren't good enough then you can get a bad reputation \ - tasks by companies with a potential of them hiring you afterwards - relationship effects if you did a bad or good job - the option to hire a freelancer for a painting, an eco object, or even a website for your store/restaurant/brand etc - more rabbit hole tasks so your sims are gone for a little bit and more active tasks e.g. paint Sulani skies from reference
BUT I voted for other because what I really want the most is an update on some worlds to make them more immersive. I feel several neighborhoods fall short on opportunities outside of lots. An overhaul to add more food stalls and vendors (especially in Evergreen Harbor and Del Sol Valley) would be absolutely amazing. Especially for those who don't want to change lots too much because it takes them too much time, these outside activities help making the worlds feel more lively and add to the gameplay.
I'd also really would love an overhaul of hotkeys to use in live and build mode. At least the option to set them myself. Oh and the household manager, (ai... this list keeps getting longer), I just want to know more about the relations amongst household members, like who are the parents of those kids, and what are the parents jobs? Would help so much when you want to chose a household or want to exchange household members.
Food Stall Activist Group
For food stalls in each neighborhood and cool vendors who don't care for explosions
If you mean updating what we currently have?
Kids! Kids need the most updating in my opinion.
If you mean new content I'd still say think of the children!!😩
If given the option preteens! I know it's not something I wanted before but the more I think about it it's the only way we could ever get officially short heights.
Height slider works fine but you have to deal with the visual glitches since the animations don't match.
Every pack could benefit with a refresh but I'm pretty satisfied with them overall.
I would like the Archeology system from Jungle Adventures updated. It gets boring to be an archeologist but you go to the same jungle over and over again. Expand on this career by offering different archeological dig nodes in different locales. Maybe you could find pirate artifacts in Brindleton Bay, and Oni masks and Japanese swords in Mt. Komorebi. Maybe there’s dinosaur bones in Oasis Springs (Yes, that’s paleontology, I know, but anyway … I want a dino skeleton!), and Native American pottery in Strangerville? Every world has a story, let us help tell it through the archeology findings. Or, give us new worlds with new collectibles to discover – Africa – tribal masks, totems; the Far East – those gorgeous Chinese-inspired vases from Sims 3; Greece/Mediterranean – classic marble statues and busts; Norse – shields, weaponry, Viking helmets.

This is a great idea. I wouldn't be mad if they came out with another GP specifically around archeology that added what you've mentioned above as well as another vacation world to explore, Egypt would be amazing, Thailand would also be great.

I would like child sims to be able to pay the bills, or have some sort of workaround that would get the bills paid.
I would like child sims to have the option to quit an afterschool activity.
I would like child sims to be able to work on the writing skill.
I would like more child aspirations.
