I suggest they add a 'hard mode' game pack.
Ever feel like the game is too easy? Sims get successful way too soon? Start with too much money? Can't have much negative traits? Well, how about they add a game pack for those that want to be challenged?
Life can be rough, I am sure many players enjoy the easy way in contrast to life, but to me it feels so much more like an accomplishment if you'd be able to take a Sim from rock bottom and work their way up.
The main thing this expansion would add would be the option to start with nothing, not a single dime and be homeless. Your Sim has to earn everything the hard way.
It also (finally) removes the phone each sim seems to have implanted in their brain or something. They have to buy that. Existing Sims keep their phone but now you can toggle it on or off in creation if they start with it and now there's different phones too. What Sims currently have could be the second most expensive one, the new more expensive one could have some extra options.
It also adds several negative traits for your Sim to pick during character creation for increased challenge. Like they can be a fool as an opposite to the genius. Could be a cursed trait too, causing misfortune to happen more often to this Sim, but also making them far less likely to die. When they do the reaper takes pity and lets them live. Or if they want to go for darker humour the reaper could be laughing every time he comes for the cursed sim and just leave again.
Could also be a puny trait, similar to what sims medieval had. These sims would be terrible at any physically straining activities, can't win any fights, no sim is threatened when they try to intimidate someone and all that.
But to counter all the negative traits, there could be a new way added to change a Sim's traits but it would be hard.
The game pack could also add new mean and evil interactions for Sims, like an evil Sim can steal from the homeless or mock them, but of course kind and good sims may help the homeless on their own.
Could also be some new rewards added for challenges and skills from all kinds of expansions, but those linked to another expansion would be part of an update to accompany this pack so you'd get access to that either way but it would still be hard to obtain. Like a new spell for magic sims but they first need to master everything else and do various other things to obtain it.
