In all packs I believe:
cross stitching - cottage living
knitting - knifty knitting
instruments - base game, vampires, outdoor retreat, city living
archaeology - jungle adventure
dancing - get together
"vlogging" [media] - get famous
rock climbing, skiing, snowboarding - snowy escape
skating - seasons
bowling - bowling stuff
"wahoo" - aquaman
-BMX
-Hockey
-American Football
-More gameplay with soccer i.e. teams
-softball/baseball
Ballet Suggestions:
Practice attire: Leotards, tutus, ballet slippers, ballet shoes and leg warmers. A couple of hair styles for practice.
Performance attire: Ballet Costumes based off of the two classic ballet stories, The Nutcracker and Swan Lake. Hairstyles and make up suited for the story theme.
Inspired by the 80s show Fame. I would also like to see mix race and culture performance art included.
We love the classics. But, also love modern performance art. Allow people to see the different sides of ballet.
But, let's not forget about ballet bars that we should be able to place along the wall and one we can place in the center of a room. Dance floors with dedicated ballet dances, practices and routines.
I don't know if Tap or Jazz should be included. But, I am putting it here. I want to know what other Simmers thoughts on this. I personally would love to see my Sims being able to tap dance.
Ballroom Dancing Suggestions:
The four, Waltz, Salsa, Tango and Foxtrot. But, also include classic slow dancing for couples, like on prom night or wedding parties.
It should include the appropriate hair and attire suited for their style of dance. ( This is actually important in dance competitions)
Add the option for couples dance spots, then allow us to pick what style of dance.
I also want to add Country Style Dances, such as, line dancing, square dancing and maybe even river dancing.
I'd love to see more suggestions on cultural dances. Another one came to mind is the midsummer festival dance around the May Pole.
They have been danced for around 400 years, and are what square dancing originated from. They are also still very popular.
A pagan fertility frolic.
I love your ideas @Mak27
This is why I want Cottage Living. The sewing hobby would be a good addition! 😎
YES!
And take it a step further, with LARP around the neighbourhood.
Cottage living doesn’t have sewing, it has embroidery. I would love to see a sewing machine, patters, and fabrics in a game pack or something. Where we can sew clothes, rag dolls and stuffed animals. Knitting and embroidery were great additions, but we should also be able to sew too.

Let's add quilts to this idea or baby blankets. These would be great gifts for your Sims to give away and obviously, another way to make some Similions on the side. Maybe we can sew a blanket for our pets and farm animals to use. When it's cold Sims could wrap their favorite blanket around themselves to prevent themselves from Freezing to death, if they have it in their inventory. For fun they should have one outfit or a shirt that is intentionally meant to look like it was sewn badly. Maybe something locked behind a career asperation, that your Sim can proudly wear and display.
Other things Sims could sew are Kites and windsocks. I remember having to make a windsock for a home economics project. It looked terrible. Oh! And stockings! Stockings our Sims can hang up the night before Father Winter shows up.
