Sims 4 oversights in 2025

I wouldn't limit to just 2025. But I agree with the Heterochromia. I'd also say these are some of the biggest oversights

• Baking in Get to Work and not in Base Game. One of the worst decisions in the game.
  • So confusing to try and find a specific recipe.
  • I'd also like the Cooking interface to be more like a Recipe book but that is probably too much to do at this point,
  • I'd settle on a re-categorization of various recipes to go where they make the most sense.
  • Add a few new things to make up any deficiencies 
• Mermaids, Plant Sims & Aliens not given the same consideration as Vampires and Werewolves
• Island Living failed to deliver on a lot
  • Mermaids should have had the same set up as Vamps, Werewolves and Spellcaster
  • No Scuba Diving
  • No Archaeology for Polynesia or even Underwater Archaeology
  • No Surfing
  • No Hot Coal Walking
  • No Lei update to Flower Arranging
• The lame excuse for a Boardwalk we got in High School Years.  
  • Full Amusement Park not just a bunch of Rabbit-holes. 
  • Carousel & the Roller Coaster Build items are needed
• CAS & CAP 
  • No Costume Tab - You pick a costume but if you do a party your costume gets changed
    • No new costumes to coincide with Occults being introduced 
    • No Pet Costumes either
  • Masks need to have more options. You have the entire Commedia del' Arte to draw from
  • Rainwear & Cold Weather Clothing need to be separated
  • Nifty Knitting not having Cats & Dogs in mind for additional knitted items
  • No holiday themed clothing or collars for Cats & Dogs
  • No new Cat & Dog breeds native to any new world we get as an unlock for having both packs
• Still no heavily requested Build/Buy
  • Apple Bobbing Tub
  • Amusement Park Midway Games Kiosks & Winnable Prizes 
  • Carousel
  • Casino Games
  • Kissing Booths
  • Library Ladder
  • Pantry & Coat Closet
  • Poker Table
  • Pool Table with Accessories
  • Poker Table
  • Rollercoaster Build Pieces  
  • Shuffle Board 
  • Spiral Staircase
  • Water Cooler 
• Still no refresh on Outdoor Living 
  • Cabin split log staircase 
  • Swimming in the lake
  • Canoeing 
  • No Bon Voyage Items 
    • Log Roller
    • Axe throwing
    • Garden edging made from tree limb cross sections 
    • Moose Head
  • Bigfoot
• No Full Service Hotels yet 
• Very little cross pack integration to speak of 
• The Punch Bowl still hasn't any
  • Egg Nog
  • Smoking Bishop
  • Wassail
• Still no Yule Log Cakes or Christmas (Plum) Pudding 
• Nectar Making in Horse Ranch. Should have been in a more romantic zone. 
• Blacksmithing should have been the skill in Horse Ranch
• Life & Death should have given Funeral tack for Horses as an unlock
• Cottage Living having Llamas instead of Sheep.
  • If it had been me making the decisions I would have done sheep not Llamas.
  • The mini sheep are cute in Horse Ranch but it's not the same 
• I would have placed Llamas in Jungle Living since they are an animal from South America
• Jungle Living but no Parrots, really?
• Veterinarian skill but not Veterinarian Career, really? 
• Archeology skill but no Career nor branches nor updates
• My Wedding Stories, Snowy Escape, Island Living and Life & Death  should have provided updates for Flower Arranging 
• Snowy Escape being in Japan in general and a Japanese based pack not having 
  • Futons
  • Sushi Counters for use in Dine Out
  • Hibachi Grills & NPC Chef for same
  • Zen Garden like Bon Voyage

    • Moon Cakes 
    • Okonomiyaki
    • Omurice
    • Takoyaki 
• Snowy Escape being in Japan and not a European City known for Winter Sport like St. Moritz, Switzerland  was disappointing and  concentrating on that rather than watering down both themes would have been better 
  • Chalets
  • the Alps 
  • Apres Ski parties 
  • Swiss Foods
    • Cordon Bleu

  • Polar Bear swimming in this pack too
