Seems like something is missing in these packs

So there are several packs, where it seems like there is something missing.

Seasons: figure skating career. It would be nice if there was a new branch for the athlete career that allow sims to work as figure skaters. Discover University added the soccer branch. I think the skating rinks are underutilized.

Get together: Dancer career. I really think there should be a dance career with multiple branches. The branches could be dance teacher branch (allowing sims to run a dance studio), ballet branch, and salsa branch. The various dance styles would come with multiple routines you could unlock as you increase the dance skill.

Cottage living: why is there no mill appliance and harvestables for wheat and sugar cane? I mean, yes commercial enterprise is fine. There's a garden and grocery stall, but what about self- sufficiency? I would like to be able to mill flour and sugar. 

Horse ranch: there should be an equestrian career and boarding stable venue type. If you didn't want to participate in competitions, but still wanted to earn money from the horse - riding skill, you could run a boarding stable. NPC horse owners would spawn at the venue to take horse riding lessons and stable their horses for training and care. The player could "rent" stable stalls (like apt units) and run a business (similar to a vet clinic), but it's a stable. 

High school years: so about sending child sims to school. 

Discover University: soccer should have soccer goals. Players could challenge other sims to soccer matches. Essentially a soccer match is seeing who can score more goals. Doesn't actually require a team, but like it's so not interesting just watching the sims kick the ball.

Realm of magic: why are cauldrons so big? At least add a mini cauldron that can fit on counters. Also add more cauldron recipes for soups and stews. 

Werewolves: there should be more sewer related buildbuy items. Seriously, add manhole covers, more doors and windows, and sewer grates.

Cool kitchen: if there is ice cream, we should be able to craft sundaes and milkshakes.

    I like the idea of adding a new career branch to basegame careers. The ice-skating branch with Seasons sounds nice. Some basegame careers are very generic and adding new branches to them sound more logic to me than adding entirely separate new careers that are too similar.

    For example, it could be done too for the criminal career with the Get To Work pack: adding a burglar branch. With the option to work from home or go to work through a rabbit hole. Perhaps with missions that take the Sim to another lot (like with the doctor and the detective careers) Or perhaps the Sim can pick missions from a list like with some other jobs I forgot.

      Yes, the criminal career especially is quit boring. I'm not sure why sims can't lockpick and steal items if they are in the criminal career.
