At the very least base game needs a refresh, and not like that Digital Deluxe Upgrade stuff pack. More feature focused. Other than that I can see easy updates to reasonable refreshes on many older packs, and some just need to make popular mods official. And more toggles to enable/disable features, and possible sliders for frequency/difficulty (like easier to care for pets).
Traits—at least older traits—need a refresh. Lovestruck, Life & Death and Enchanted By Nature have some pretty decent traits (from what I reviewed via internal files), if older and base game traits had even half of the attention those traits got would be great.
Likes and Dislikes need to determine autonomous actions. If they dislike it: they simply, flat out will not do it autonomously. At this time they only seem to determine buffs/debuffs, as the rest of autonomy is chance and score based with factors determined by traits, moods, life stage, etc.
I give it a like because i agree with the list, some packs are well made and some other packs don't and i love the things you've mentioned
We so need a toggle on/off options not just for the basegame but also in packs so we can play the game to our likings
