I have a few ideas for expansions in the neglected fantastical sphere.

It's long overdue, sims 4 still never even had a full expansion that added anything fantasy related, every single previous sims game had at least double as much fantasy stuff than sims 4 while all having less expansions.

So I have a few ideas to liven up the game in that direction.

-Renaissance fair expansion.
Adds a new vacation destination along with a few new skills and a new supernatural being.
Like Journey to Batuu, it can be seen as a vacation instead of a different world.
Phones would be disabled here, and an accompanying free update could finally let us toggle disabling the phone of any individual sim.
Sword fighting would be a new skill, fighting with a lightsaber could also be moved to this instead of fitness, and a lot of the animations could be shared. Like on Batuu, you could find challengers to fight here, but in a specific tournament ground.
Archery targets could be used similar to dart boards, allowing sims to compete in archery, could just be under the fitness skill.
Metal working could be a new skill, allowing sims to craft various items in a forge. Like nice looking swords, art works, tools, decorative armour and shields too.
And the third and final skill added could be pottery. Sims could make various vases and pots, even a chamberpot. Could even do this together with a romantic partner, in 'ghost' style.
Would of course be plenty of medieval furniture, architecture stuff and clothing too. Also some nice headgear.
It could add druids as a new supernatural state, focused on nature and if you have packs with animals, they could speak with them and have unique interactions, including shifting into those animal forms. But even without those packs they can do a lot with nature like change the weather, grow plants or improve their quality, and they can also brew potions like mages, some new potions would be added.

-New world adventures expansion.
A sims 4 version of sims 3's first expansion, with mostly different destinations.
Egypt would be kept, pyramids and tombs can be explored there and mummies make a return as well.
Dangerous traps and tombs would be the focus here, some can be deadly.
Antartica could be a new location and the toughest adventure, battling constant cold, trying to stay warm and climbing mountains. But there's hidden caves too, and a yeti (not playable life state) could be encountered and even befriended, but they stay in Antartica. A yeti hug could warm up a sim.
Here the environment itself is the main danger, just surviving and not traps, trying to reach the distant spots which could also have treasures.
Transylvania could be the third and final location, having a big intimidating castle on top of a hill with many secrets to explore and where sims can easily get lost in. Vampires could get some new content here and also be playable through this expansion, and there could be unique interactions in Transylvania for each supernatural kind of creature aside from aliens. Could also be some frankenstein style lab equipment here allowins sims to turn someone else into a supernatural, including a servo even.
Plenty of interesting treasures to find, new architecture, furniture in three styles and clothing as well.

-High tech game pack.
Just focused on futuristic technology, giving us some super expensive high tech option for a lot of interactive objects.
These can be real time savers as well as a good money sink. Like it could come with a fridge where you don't prepare meals, you just pull the selected meal prepared out of it, like a replicator.
Could also have a futuristic shower/toilet combination, a sleeping pod, new rockets to build, new computers, futuristic versions of each instrument, etc.
In addition, cyborg could be a new supernatural state similar to a terminator. Looks human but does have access to robotic eye and teeth options, and cosmetics that show them being part robot, like through scars too. Both servos and humans could become a cyborg, for servos it could be a step towards becoming human. Cyborgs don't age and could be resistant to some things, but weak to others. Like bad with water and lightning, but can't be killed by quite a few things and lack emotional states unless it's unlocked for them.

    World Adventures like pack could be a GP, with a egyptian like world and mummies as new occult, new skills like jewelry, while others features and worlds could be added in future packs.

    Renaissance/Medieval as well, a GP with new activities and skills. Dueling, backsmith and trade, along with sewing.

    High Tech could be a final EP for The Sims 4, considering the lack of intrest in a futuristic/high tech pack for now.
  • Eh, they even managed to make a full expansion out of the eco thing what should have been a stuff pack and keep making expansions the boring stuff, always delegating the fantasy stuff to game packs where we don't get enough content from it, making them all pretty disappointing.

    They have some catching up to do.
