Better integration of assets from all packs
A couple areas where I’ve noticed various assets aren’t properly integrated, and it really makes the game feel stale: - At bars, sims autonomously order only a couple different drinks. Why? There ar...

@jpkarlsenExpansion packs are supposed to *expand* the game. 40$ per pack is way too much to pay to not have the assets incorporated into the entire game wherever possible.
I’m not sure if you work for the sims team, but if that’s the attitude of the developers I’m extremely disappointed. For this amount of money they can certainly code the game so certain assets appear in certain situations *if you have the necessary packs*. And yes, they can be sure which packs a player has installed, it’s literally there in the code. All they have to do is tag a wide variety of assets to appear in certain situations such as what I mentioned above, and if the player doesn’t have the necessary pack it obviously won’t be in the game.
I also wanted to mention an example of good pack integration that I really enjoy in the game: plopsy, which includes cross-stitch hoops from Cottage Living and candles from Eco Lifestyle, for example. I wish more aspects of gameplay were done this well!
- @lucombre Totally agree! I would love to see more pack integration, which would make the whole game feel more inclusive, and while there may be some constraints (and I don't claim to be an expert or anything), I agree it seems entirely feasible to be able to flag add-on options for most instances for any players who happen to own the packs without compromising integrity for base game players.
- @Moozilla13 I absolutely hope clubs will be refreshed soon, as this is another way that packs were successfully integrated, however, newer activities/traits/etc are not always included.
Eco Lifestyle is also a good example. While dumpster diving you can find stuff from all the packs you have.
And I absolutely agree that the flea market would be way more interesting with more diverse things. Especially since the basegame items are rather meh compared to most pack items.
My Sims kids never get the toys from the mailbox, I sell them instantly because it's only the ugly items. So that would be a nice improvement as well.
