Representation
I will do my best not to come across as being "political" for that is NOT my intent. I want to start out with that I love the Representation we have in the game. From February showcasing Black Simmers...

I'd prefer vagueries such as City Living, over the utter snore-fest that was Snowy Escape. City Living did what Sims does best - give representation in inspiration, not half-done imitation. If SE had been "general Asia", think of the gameplay we could've gotten. I hear "More Representation" and one doesn't really understand how much of an ask that is until you realise how many cultures and countries exist.
This isn't an international game with fleshed out bite-sized packs released for every culture from studios who know them enough to do them well, this is an American-based game where everywhere else is pretty much a destination world with residential housing.
They do the culture they know, best. Everything else is a light touch, not a deep-dive, yet it has gameplay. Their deep-dives have no gameplay (or little of any interest), so the only solution would be CAW and easier modding tools.
That's true. And Japan is popular--I mean, I can't blame it, but still. I've heard people saying there should be an anime-themed pack. Really? Anime? I think Japan has had its time in the spotlight. As @RavioliWusGood (love the username; do you want ravioli rep in TS4?) mentioned, the rest of the massive continent of Asia often gets overlooked in favor of More Japan. (Is this how Canada feels when people reduce "north of Mexico" North America to the U.S.?)
Asia is the biggest continent in the world (although Africa has more countries, I believe). Little bits and pieces of a vast number of cultures would be more interesting than a mega-focus on one or two.
