Freetime: EP, GP or SP?

I miss the grilled cheese challenge :D I prefer EP as more is better for me and GP is second and no Kits.

EP in TS2, so the amount of material, if done properly, would need an EP in 4 as well.

No way would Freetime work as a game pack or stuff pack it added a Genie in Sims 4 a supernatural alone requires an entire pack or it comes with nothing to do like Mermaids. I doubt a Sims 4 expansion could add that much content

Many people complained about the size of TS2 EP7 FreeTime.
That's true it didn't add a new neighborhood and it extended existing features instead of adding a new gameplay.

Today it would match better to a Game Pack.

But FreeTime came with a world Desiderata Valley not that I ever played Maxis created worlds as I always made my own but it was there. Crazy how much worlds were a afterthought in Sims 2 since you were never limited and starved for lots like we are now 5 lot worlds...

For Sims 4 Freetime would have to be a expansion it just added so much content and it was all done so well the basketball hoop actually had the ability to play horse while Sims 4 basketball hoop gave us robots taking turns its crazy to me that some think it did not add a lot maybe not as big as other Sims 2 expansions but a lot was added and what was done right.

Not only did FreeTime give us a new world/neighborhood, but we also got:
A secret lot for each hobby interest with a hobby guru that would visit your sim's home to give them a membership once the sim qualified
remote control cars and helicopters
violin
exercise bike
soccer net
ant farm
the repairable and then drive car
pottery wheel
sewing machine
model railroad layout (build terrain, not just run train)
activity table for toddlers
genie lamp
hunt bugs (potentially dangerous), watch birds, and stargaze activities

All of these added gameplay to varying degrees.

I hope that I'm wrong, but I doubt that TS4 will ever have a comprehensive hobby EP. Since stuff packs have dried up, new hobbies will probably be sprinkled throughout several EPs and many GPs.

Or enough kits to fill a large barn.

I don't think they will make an EP with all those hobbies activities, and a kit is too limited in scope for proper development. I'd be happy with maybe a SP of GP for each, with detailed gameplay integrated with all packs and for all ages if possible. Ballet for example, I would like it to be available for toddlers too, and be able to put on a show, or have a rabbithole job as a ballerina or hold an active class teaching ballet like they do with the yoga class.

I only know Sims 3 & Sims 4.

I would love an EP, but I think a GP would be just as great!

I think they'd be able to do pottery or glassblowing or sculpting as kits because its only build/buy + gameplay object to craft the other objects

but I don't think they could do sewing well in a kit cause you should be able to make both cas and b/b items with that so idk about that

as for soccer goal it should have come with soccer ball in DU really I would be annoyed having to buy soccer twice so refresh bin

and for remainder they might just show up as side thing to something else like fixer upper car needs cars to be thing kinda way

or maybe say they decide to randomly update in genie in a lamp for some random reason idk they did update in tragic clown ages ago

i know wouldn't we all just like one good ep but i haven't seen ep with so many skills and gameplay items yet for sims 4
