Updating packs? Can you add lots too?

I just want something in the alien world in GTW I went there after my sim did all that work in science and it was very underwhelming nothing was there I was like you could've at least give a wow factor something.

The alien world should be like, an unlockable alien neighborhood, with a couple of lots instead of just one. You should be able to make alien households and everything.

I don't think they will touch on aliens any more in the Sims 4 considering how they did the animals in what was suppose to be a farming pack and the pushing together of high schools and the fair( I love both ideas, just separate and more fleshed out) instead of a pack of each and fleshing it out better( adding grade school, daycare, babysitting, and maybe an adoption agency with schools and making a real fair with possibly a petting zoo and aquatic world to go see with a ticket thing to pay at to go in and world like they did with GTW(not putting in any homes/bars/ect. just the main stuff) with just the businesses and fleshing them out.

It seems to be a main theme in the Sims4 not to flesh out any pack but to put unrelated ideas together with as little new stuff as possible and to load packs with copies of junk we already have in spades like more furniture, ect. Meanwhile, farms, schools, the fair, underwater worlds(unless they surprise with a makeover), and other themes they've touched on will never be added to more than likely.

I'm not sure adding additional lots is something they'd ever consider base upon this statement from a Guru back in 2016:

We don’t go back to shipped worlds and change the lot/neighborhood configuration, because that might negatively impact your existing lots.

Never have seen that. That said, they did in the Sims 3. They went back after adding the ability to go into water and you could even go in and add if you had Island Paradise. That goes to show how limited Sims 4 is compared to Sims 3. No color wheel, no making your own world, no controlling all your household sims in the same world, no placing lots anywhere you want, no infants freed, no underwater world released with mermaids(which is crazy) ect. That figures and is the reason I basically give up on the Sims 4 and am extremely wary of ever buying Sims 5. I don't want another Sims game that is limited like the Sims 4 where you aren't in control of anything. Another closed world game where college, highschool, grades school isn't done together like it should be because they are all the same theme and they had a bunch of this done with the college EP. Farms should really have lots of farm animals and farm equipment that really have gameplay and not stuck animals and a bunch of woodland stuff and a bunch of furniture that we already have 20 copies of instead of fleshing out the games. I see this as a huge setback in the Sims 4. They flesh nothing out and they can't even go back now and add to what they have? No underwater world for mermaids in a mermaid pack. We had a complete full human world, real dive lots, a huge dive lot to dive in and collect, shark interactions, houseboats to live on and drive, resorts, and the ability to make resorts in other worlds/make your own. Sims 4 seems to be about limitations and not freedom to do what you want in a sims game. Thanks for letting me know. That is a real downer. They really dropped the ball making the Sims 4 so quickly. It has some good stuff in it such as roofs, being able to set properties and move them in build, adding to the household easily through the neighborhood in the editing households, the removal of CAS stuff like rings ect all at once and easily, getting in and out of CAS quickly, saving quickly, lot traits, and several other things, but the emotions thing isn't as big with me. It can get in the way of storytelling for me and I hate it when something happens at work/school and then they're in a bad mood when you have plans for when they get home. They made some great improvements but when you compare the amount of stuff in the Sims 3(store included) to 4 then it's just staggering how less we are getting. We never get content and I miss getting a bunch of content. They should've kept all the teams; we need more people working on packs not less.
