Now that The Sims 4 has now got all the packs that we essentially need to make the game more like a simulation (Pets, Seasons, University). I really want to know what types of new packs you would like added to the game!I would really love to see a road trip pack, a cruise ship pack, and also something like happy haunts. Comment below what you would love to see added into the game, I really can't wait to see what you guys come up with! Happy Simming All!

I posted a concept in a speculation and rumor thread about the pack that I would really like to see. I’m reposting with edits here! I really think they’re going to do something with high school before The Sims 4 is finished. People have been wanting this for a while. I’m dying (lol) for a big Happy Haunts EP too!!! I really want my Sims to be psychic and/or working with Grim. I think that would be incredible! High School EP ConceptThe High School wouldn’t be fully active. I believe that, while the pack wouldn’t be fully *immersive,* I believe that the developers would be nervous that the gimmick would lose its charm after some time. However, there would be more things to do in class “stare out the window,” “sneak onto your phone,” and more that can potentially get your phone taken away, and/or lead to embarrassed moodlets. There will also be more pop ups that have lasting consequences or can lead to you meeting a new friend or getting into unexpected situations... or detention!What should be active instead are extracurricular activities, as well as a system I call Moments That Matter: important moments of a young Sims life. Things like confessing to your crush, asking a love interest to prom, and other moments that can create certain lasting sentiments within your teen. There are also new text prompts, and some that can create sentiments, more emotional buffs, and new friendships/rivalries with other sims.In High School, slightly similarly to The Sims 3: University Life, there are groups: Popular, Athetes, Nerds, and Misfits. These are different from groups in Get Together in that you cannot create your own, nor can you set any activity. You have to do certain activities, have certain skills, and impress them to be on their radars. Misfits are the easiest to join, but they are the most difficult socially. Popular kids tend to avoid them as much as possible, and it’s not advantageous for anyone of a higher social standing to interact with them for a longer period of time.If you want to impress and get your foot in the door for one of these groups, the best way is to join an extracurricular activity. There are multiple clubs and sports to join, as well as Drama Club now being active. With Nerds joining crew and tech, and Popular kids killing each other to be cast as the leading role. There will be a goofy auto-generated play, and a humorously over dramatic director to lead your Sims to victory. Once the rehearsals are over, Sim families can go see their hard work. This reintroduces the camcorder from Sims 3: Generations, so your sim parents can go all Regina George’s mom in the audience.There is also cast parties to have afterward (for anyone unsure of how wacky these can be, please check out the SNL Skit: The Crucible Cast Party.)The more socially advantageous, the more likely the club is locked by tryouts and auditions. Your Sims have to get their skill on, and cross their fingers to make sure they don’t end up humiliating themselves in front of their peers.If that’s too much commitment, your Sims can throw raging house parties to impress the popular kids (or to just raise your reputation in school in general) or, if they’re courting the Nerds, do a Plumbobs and Llamas Campaign session. The higher your writing skill, the more likely you are to create a killer story to immerse the players. Sometimes, your players might even think they’re in the story themselves! Let’s just hope if you’re throwing a rager, that you can clean up in time or that your parents don’t come home at a bad time. You could risk humiliation, or worse... grounding.Another group gathering is sleepovers! Child and teen Sims can start their own, or be invited to one autonomously! Sims can watch the new tv channel for them to watch (a parody of the CW shows like Riverdale) and share secrets and gossip. There are more sleeping bags, as well as pillow fights and enough snacks to get into a food coma. Sims can log their crush and a rival. A rival can be in their crushes affections, or just academically or in their extra curricular activities. A sim can choose these randomly, or a simmer can choose for them. If you’re not into that, you can simply turn it off! Eavesdropping is a thing sims can do! So if you’re sharing your crushes at a sleepover be warned about a sneaky sibling or a loose lipped friend. With Parenthood installed, your Teen sim can talk about their crush or rival in their journal, and have that leak too from nosy friends or siblings!Sims (child and teen) have group projects. With teens having the stereotypical baby project among others. Teen sims can bribe or beg their teacher to place them in a group with their crush, or simply shoot their shot and ask to be in a group with them. I can see the baby project as being hilarious btw. There are also tests, essays, and exams will pop up occasionally and Sims should definitely level up the particular skill and study. Sims can study in groups to prepare. If they bomb they can try to hide their bad grades, or attempt to modify their results— either by hacking into the school or by fiddling with the written grade on paper— to varying success. They can also get help from the new Llamafy feature. It’s a music streaming platform where Sims can choose their favorite songs, put them into playlists, and ascribe a particular emotional buff to their playlist of choice. This can be focusing, inspirational, etc!Prom is also an active event, with tacky themed decor, punch (that sims can prank), and plenty of dresses and general formal apparel for teens! Sims can also be nominated for prom court, and can rig the vote (but potentially be found out for doing so.) Teen sims can prom-pose (to potentially disasterous consequences.)Misfits can sneak out of their houses and go on late night adventures. Just hope they don’t get caught by the police! They also can write about their experiences— either as poetry or as songs. If they have enough musical skill in an instrument, they can start bands with other sims and audition for the school talent show or perform in venues across town. They are also more inclined to throw pranks on annoying neighbors, siblings, or other high school groups. If they aggravate another group too much— they’re could be an all out group warfare! Group Warfare can happen between any group at any time, and the battlefield can be online or in the cafeteria with food fights!Plumbook is a new feature in game where Sims can (it would be optional) create their own profile. Sims can upload their Simstagram selfies, add a profile picture, and release their recorded videos from the camcorder too! Sims’s emotional blog posts will be uploaded onto Plumbook, and certain Sims will like and even respond. You can also access other Sims’s profiles and post comments on their posts or wall depending on the Sims current emotion and relationships to that sim. This can cause an all-out internet brawl!Sims will also post on your wall too about your Sims goings on around the town/city. Sometimes Sims will ask you about rumors about you (either true or false) and couldpotentially reveal something embarrassing to the denizens of the interwebs. So try to make sure you don’t have bladder failure in public! This will also feed into the gossip system, which adds public sentiments (connected to your Sims reputation if you have Get Famous installed.) If a rumor is proven untrue, you can have the sentiment removed quickly. But if you’re caught cheating on your spouse, expect your house to get egged and have difficulty interacting with other Sims for a while!Sims can also text prompts to their friends like, “what’s going on around town,” “any gossip I should know about,” or “any parties tonight?” Sims can also ask about Sims that way, if Get Together is installed, play matchmaker via texting, or ask another Sim their opinion about their crush or current relationship partner.

Farming, Actual farming with cows, pigs. fields, markets shearing, breeding, huge lots tractors the works. We've never had a proper farming expansion

Teaching, so that your Sim can be a teacher in a school (active career) with your other Child/Teen Sims as students.

Something historical. I've wanted this since Dragon Valley in TS3 but it's never been done before, something that is actually back in time. They did "into the future" or something in TS3. I liked the concept but the futuristic stuff wasn't for me.

What Packs would you like to see be added that have never been done before?

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
Disquietism

I wanted to comment some ideas, but damn all the ideas are awesome and I feel like I have nothing to add here XD
But let's try: I would love to see some packs that adds a lot of negative things for your sims to experience from various illnesses, mental breakdowns, more negative traits, etc. I know it would probably too much for many people, but I do like realism, so that would make my gameplay experience much more interesting. At least we got mods for that as I don't think EA would ever make anything like that.

No, I agree @Yautjagirl . More emotions wouldn't be so bad. It would be so awesome if Sims reacted more often. Like for instance family members or close friends being really happy when someone got engaged or married...or even couples being a lot more excited for that matter, especially when they get married. I've mentioned it before, but more moods would be awesome too. Like a Sim feeling nervous and scared, excited, determined, etc. Also, some other kind of mood between couples would be nice, too, instead of just flirty.

I just posted an idea for a spring/summer festivities pack, including maypole and morris dancing.

A schools pack with the option to send the Sim to private school or boarding school, prom and graduation for teens, and a lot of after school activities.

A fairies pack where we can choose our fairies wings, colour and powers. Allow the fairies to go into a small form and give them unique interactions.
It would be nice to have genies too. An advanced wish system, the ability to set free and play as a genie, and give genies unique abilities.

A hobbies and sports pack where we choose our Sim's favourite hobby and sports, they develop interests and their interest grows the more they engage in that activity. The interests could be cooking, arts and crafts, sports, TV, music, reading, magic, etc. It could add new activities like sculpting, and sports like archery, volleyball, tennis, badminton, cricket, etc. They could join a sports team that will work like part time jobs. These could include soccer and Ping Pong (if you have Discover University), basketball (City Living), and bowling (with bowling stuff).

My first 2 ideas are probably game pack ideas, and the last one is probably more expansion pack size.

As far as packs go, I know I posted this before, but I'm hoping for either an Australian based or African world that resembles Oasis Springs, because we haven't had a world like that since then. They could include wild animals and safari rides. My second choice would be either an Outer Space world or a wedding game pack.

We should get werewolves that can actually shift into wolves and have werewolf powers, such as strength and speed. Maybe you could do something with the Alpha Beta Omega and mid-member of the pack system; maybe you can become better and stronger. Maybe the full moon can do something to them as well. Another cool thing would be to be able to form a pack.

I agree. This has happened to me more times than I'd like to admit, but my baby, when I moved household, would be placed outside of the lot. It was really frustrating because I was unable to move them inside, so when it rained and my baby was crying it was so hard for my sim to actually take care of the baby.
