A great depression pack.
Where your sims can't get jobs, and their clothes deteriorate, and they can't buy new ones, but they can sew their own from flour and grain sacks. And everyone lives off the grid, and no one has much money. And there is dirt, and dust, and more dust, and some other dust. and a bit of grit.
A goth pack. Because there is never enough goth stuff.
Though, I guess it could just be a stuff pack.
AND
A Battle of the Bands GP or EP
With more instruments, and the ability to form bands, and have music festivals.
Start out as a teenage garage band, go through uni playing in local bars and pubs, either get signed to a label (who dictate a bunch of changes, including changes to your bands lineup), or go DIY, and have to work on the side while you slowly claw your way to fame, but have complete creative control.
Get invited to play at music festivals, your timeslot indicates your level of popularity. If you're in the first slot, you've got a chance at fame, but no one knows your name, if you're the last act, then you've made it to the top.
This could come with it's own world, one that has two recording studios, the plush, and shiny, all inclusive (so long as you've signed away your creative rights) Sellout Studio, and the dark and dingy Den of DIY, where you pay by the hour, but the coffee is free. DIY bands who are at, or nearing the top, can hire the fancy studio, but it costs a lot more than the Den.
The world could also contain a music festival park, a pub to book gigs at, and a fancier music hall, for middling+ bands to have concerts at.
There would also need to be the ability to create your own merch: Tshirts, hoodies, posters, and CDs.
And inline with the idea of the Goth Stuff Pack, perhaps there should be several different band related stuff packs.
Goth and Punk
Psychedelic rock and Glam rock
Jazz and Blues
Folk rock and Metal
