The way I see it, we already have plenty of packs that allow one to scratch their Sci-Fi itch, so I feel medieval fans should get some too.
There are ways such a pack wouldn’t even have to break the modern setting. Either have a town that’s old-fashioned (though still can use modern tech) as a new world, or do the “renaissance fair” idea mentioned earlier.
Also, in addition to my most-wanted feature of sword fighting, I think a medieval pack would be the perfect excuse to bring horses to the Sims 4.
You win. I would buy a Medieval pack if it included rideable horses
Why wouldn't a medieval pack have rideable horses, what kind of Knight would walk everywhere?
Sims Medieval could and should have been so much more.
Rideable horses being a huge part of that, they were entirely missing. At the time in Sims3, rideable horses were available so this was and still is a complete mystery to me.
The gameplay in Medieval was hilarious and at the same time restrictive, you had to complete the quests in a certain time. No sandbox and no building. It was a great game but terrible at the same time.
For YEARS I've wanted them to revisit this and do it justice but have given up hope.
Oh, that would be so nice to have a medieval world. That modern time only is sometime nice, but I like to choose which era I want to play, without annoyance of the modern world. And storywise, it could be settled in the modern sims games, but just the own world. For example in France a projects is building a castle/fortress with the original era tools and old craftsmanship, that could lead as inspiration for a medieval sims world.

There's a whole bunch of British series on Amazon Prime Video about experimental archeologists spending a year or so living "in the past" so to speak. There's a Victorian Farm series, an Edwardian Farm series that I'm currently watching and I think they've got a Medieval Farm series that I haven't watched yet. They're pretty much living the way the people did during those time periods (cooking, tilling crops, herding animals, etc.) using the same style furniture (I'm not sure if they had special pieces made where it's modern, but meant to look old or not or if they actually are using antique furniture.) So that could be a thing in the modern world of Sims 4 to kind of justify any Medieval content (which could also be used for historical saves) I've heard Experimental Archeology is super fun, one of my professors who studies the Vikings was doing a paper on calorie consumption in the shield wall formation, so he had to get a bunch of other people, get everyone dressed up as a Viking and strap devices on them that measure the amount of calories they burned just maintaining a shield wall while other people pushed against them. I could see my science sims doing that.
I've seen some of those shows mentioned above and liked them - I love history. It's not medieval but years ago I watched a show about building a Roman villa with period-appropriate tools and visited when it became a tourist attraction. It was good to see it, but a shame they didn't have any furniture in the villa at the time. I've never made it back so I don't know whether they do now. If anyone's curious, it's Wroxeter Roman villa.
I just bought Medieval and pirates and Nobles bundled in a half price steam sale and was glad I did. Granted it's very different from regular sims games on that its more rpg/ adventure and less sandbox, like you can furnish your castle but cannot move the walls, but it's still refreshing to be able to have action and consequences, missions and strategy.
Another idea for a medieval pack that's occurred to me: for those who like fantasy, perhaps it could also be the pack to bring Fairies to the Sims 4 as an occult type. And seeing as how it's a prime time to bring in horses, perhaps we could have unicorns as well?

I’m more of a fairies fan than a medieval fan.
If we got fantasy-styled clothing or can use modern clothing and detach the fairies and their gameplay away from the historical medieval aspects, then I would be interested.

Sword fights
Blacksmiths, horseback riding, and sword fighting are still around, so they could work.
An outdoor market could work as a world feature.
While pet birds could definitely be implemented, I can't see Air Mail happening because cellphones are universal in the Sims 4.
