Ideas for future Stuff Packs
Especially the last two, Fitness and Bowling didn't interest me at all and the fitness one especially felt very disconnected. Not even one deco object that ties into the fitness theme? That felt unins...

I would also like Pool stuff, but I can imagine that, if a Seasons EP comes, they will have swimming pool gameplay in it for the Summer season, and some new swimsuit clothing. But who knows, how long we would have to wait for that expansion.
Here is one Stuff Pack idea, that I read on modthesims:
Grocery Store Stuff Pack
Gameplay Elements: Checkout Counter (works like the bar and assigns an NPC or playable clerk to purchase groceries from), Coupons (can be found using the new Search for Coupons interaction on the computer/smartphone, and sometimes in the mail), Return of the Frugal trait from TS3 (more likely to find coupons and get the Buyer's Remorse Moodlet when spending too much)
Build/Buy: Grocery clutter, discount posters and store sign
CAS: Clothes for clerks, baggers and shoppers
Comment: I like the idea, because it gives those who don't want to shop for food via fridge or computer a new, more realistic option. And maybe another type of shop, a new meeting (or work?) place.
Here is another idea I had:
Retirement Stuff Pack
Gameplay Elements: Retirement Party Type, an old car to repair and fix up (turn it from a heap of rust into a shiny new looking car - oldtimer), a knitting skill that allows knitting scarves, sweaters, socks etc., looking through photo family album interaction
Build/Buy: Comfy, traditional furniture, sofa with cushions, new flowers and bushes, some kitschy decorations, side tables with doilies (or other fabric) on it, bathroom tiles with small pictures on it etc., and some real sized cars (I get they are just deco objects, but that's still better than resizing the kids playcars) and motorcycles
CAS: Loads of clothing fitting for Elder sims, car mechanic overall, some traditional hairstyles, glasses and hats
Comment: I often have the feeling, that as soon as a Sim ages into an Elder, you are just waiting for them to die. Their exciting parts of life are over. With a stuff pack like that, you could still have some room for their stories. Have the kids visit their weird grandparents house, that maybe looks old, but is so damn cozy.
