Franchises in TS4

I think it depends on how it is implemented. New clothing and objects and plants are cool but I don't want a world that is basically a rabbit hole. I want to build a house and explore it at my leisure.
Batuu has been very hard for me to get into. It needs fleshed out with more things to do and rental properties. But I think I would rather a great sims expansion pack that was more attune to what we received back in Sims 1, 2 & 3. Those packs had weight and relevance to them. They were quirky and funny and silly. I love the sims 4 for many reasons but I would love to see it get an update so that it could reach its potential.
