Sims 4 concerns

To be honest I've been find this game stall and repetitive and needed to take a break from game and posting. I feel like the community come with more effective way on what the game should be and the Sims focus on the wrong aspects or miscue idea on what the community wants so it come across badly executed and not understanding the nuance on what customer want and why they want it. I've made several post of ideas i think game could implement to improve and most have been done or executed not so well. I'm saying the Sims team has to do all what we post however their is general consensus on what the community wants. I also feel the feedback from the sims forum is the least represented and taking into consideration in my opinion when its meant to be site just for that. Several discussion I was planning to make I put on a backburner since the KIT announcement. I was already thinking on doing d discussion on worlds packs but I'm glad to know other were on the same wavelength as me. Not everyone is on all of the same social media so the sims should all with each social media ; twitter, twitch, YouTube, sims forum etc

Kits
1. Why are are the price of kits more in other country on oneside AUS $7 in another country it's not a equal conversion rate so they are paying more e.g. £5 =$7 approx when it should cost £3.60 approc in the UK. It's not fair to and insulting to the Sims 4 nationwide customer base.
2. Kits could've been a great way to pick and choose between existing packs to select individual items (i count counter set as one item) you wanted from those packs which would've of been actual choice not the perception of choice. 100 points makes one Kit pack. By the function type of item the points stay the same no matter what the design of the item is along as the item is in the same category e.g. both CAS & Build items = 3 points, Animation items = 7 points, Gameplay = 10 points worlds = 30 points. The point value doesn't change by the aesthetic of the the items.
3. The way how Kits were done was ineffective and is just a mini stuff pack that he you add then up cost more than a stuff pack they should cost at max £3.33 US dollars.

Packs

Their needs to be more distinguished differences between the packs.

Expansions packs: Expansion should not only cover all the needs of a stuff pack and game pack and multiple gameplay features and animated items but a element that impacts the entire not what world you are in and all should come with worlds
Game packs: are done pretty well and should stick to have a core game pack features based on the theme they are doing
Stuff packs: they needs to be more stuff and not all have to follow a basic theme they need to be more adventurous with their ideas. keep the animated core items of the pack.
Custom packs: How Kits should be revised. theirs a couple of methods one with world packs and we need more worlds in the Sims 4 and secondly pick'n'choose items, animated items, gameplay and worlds across game packs, stuff packs and custom world packs.

Misc content

1. Moving pack content to base game: Instead adding to base game new content and devaluing previous pack but still charging at the same price. It wouldn't be so bad if supplement the content missing by adding to the packs want was taken so the pack has a fair value, or if the content taken wasn't a core factor of pack e.g. the hot tub fiasco. If the sims had either supplemented perfect patio with a underground hot tub or add underground hot tub instead I don't think the backlash would be so heavy. Taking the minimum of CAS and Build items and just adding base game not even adding new swatches to these existing items is taking advantage of customer need to feel the game with such basic stuff to a barebones to later done the line put it in base game it makes it seem that it wasn't worth that price to begin with. I also think they put take the wrong type of items from packs, items that a player probably wont use regularly e.g. player would more like use a swing instead a hot-tub for parks and house and the swing set added to base game could be couple swing, single swing ( that attach to ant tree or ceiling) tyre swing, tree swing, so still using same of similar animation but different design element that can still be universally used.
2. The Sims 4 taste level many times seems outed and not current with the styles of today this includes both build/buy and CAS.
3. basic stuff should already be in base game in my opinion so the sims can focus on bigger themes for packs
4. The hairs don't show a range differences between each pack on a slight change between hairs. I'm mainly going to be focusing on ethnic hairstyle, their are so many ethnic that are more adventurous and current which the sim team is not using. like butterfly locs, Popsmoke braids beaded braids, bantu knots, rubberband method etc. The sims need to look at post on Pinterest for ideas here some example:
6. Versatility their isn't enough versatility in the sims 4 to CAS, Build/buy and Gameplay.(Not enough slots in CAS and build mode and bring back sims 2 build/swatch different components of item feature. All braid should have a baby hair/edges separate version so they are more versatile that why edges needs it own category along with backpacks, body hair, heterochromia eye etc)
7. Transporation
8. Need to be gives more swatches for hair that are already planning. I've already did a discussion on this here: (https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/983738/how-the-sims-hinders-itself-by-lack-of-customization-swatches#latest) we don't even have a purple. The swatches should also have slider like we do for skin-tones.
9. We need more animation in base game for it to feel more real.
10. More in depth sims and game , I did discussions on how I think it should work here: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/979325/how-should-relationships-work-in-the-sims-4#latest and https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/983440/how-should-story-progression-work-in-the-sims#latest + (baby overhaul)

These are few more discussion I've done that I feel is relevant to the future of the sims:

This is my opinion on the direction the sims should be going and what I think are errors of the sims that need to be discussed.

P.S. The instruction are not clear of the type of suggestion you are asking us.
