I will reserve all judgement until we have an official announcement, know what the next pack is, and possibly until I have actually played it. I don't mind if we get another stuff pack next, just as long as it's a good one with lots of nice stuff and gameplay like Laundry Day. I'm not one of the players that is desperate for University though. I mean, it'd be nice to have at some point, but then there are a lot of other things I would love even more.
Agreed; I think MFP soured stuff packs for a lot of people, but they can be lots of fun, quite comprehensive, and worth the money if done well. Like you said, Laundry comes to mind, as does Bowling.
If they hadn't thrown in the additional pet content (food bowls, pet beds, etc.) I think it would have been better received. The small animals are cute and children can study them which counts as their daily homework. I use the new coffee table with the "aquarium" quite a bit -- it goes well with a lot of different furniture styles.
For those who don't want to jump down the CC rabbit hole just yet (raises hand) SPs provide a way to add content at a relatively reasonable price. Some of my favorite CASsets have come from SPs like Romantic Garden, Movie Hangout and such. I got Spooky Day on sale, and while I don't throw Spooky parties or use the costumes that much, there is a weathered wood floor and some wall coverings I really like for creating accent walls especially in mansion builds (I'm waiting for some weathered/worn looking windows now). I've been getting more into decor items (especially as my Sims earn money) and SPs are a good source of those little decor pieces for fireplace mantels or dressers.
After playing a household with an elder I'd like to see an SP for that age group. More clothing that skews a bit "older", suitable activities that aren't that stressful on achy joints. Traits that would suit elders like Grouchy or Absent Minded. And I'd like elders that have either completed the Bodybuilder aspiration or are high in Fitness to be less creaky than the average elder.
