I know we all have shared our opinions on wonderful ideas for protentional packs and features. After seeing the new HSY pack it got me thinking more about future packs and features.Bands / Instruments / MusicI like many others have posted about this before but I can see a game pack being created specially for music / instruments. I think they will add trumpets, drums, flutes, saxophones, cello etc. and allow for bands to be made. I think they should also update the singing skill and add different types. I can see a small city like world with bars & lounges and the premade sim being in some type of band. It would be cool if this allowed other packs (HSY & University) to have after school band practice and a marching band. Great feature for Get Famous.SportsI think a sports game pack could be made. I do not see them adding a world to this but many new features. Sports would add functional and competitive such as cricket, football ,tennis, ballet/dance, track & field, basketball, baseball etc. I can see new jobs being coaches, assistant couches and a huge update to gyms and maybe a new lot type like a sporting arena. They could add new skills that match the sport and maybe fade over time when not practicing. For the packs mentioned above the age group kids and older would be able to play music & sports.Fitness Refresh- I personally think that exercise equipment such as barbells, kettlebell, elliptical machine, stationary bicycle, exercise balls, and jump ropes and different types of headphones should have been added.Get To Work RefreshC'mon now for those that have it we know GTW needs an extensive update. I think this update would be mainly focused on rebuilding Magnolia Promenade make the lab, hospital and police station accessible from the map and make the sickness system realistic. Add more deaths and a realistic illness and injury system. Oh your sim went for a jog and fell hard, go to the hospital and see if its broken. Your sim got sick at school go the hospital for a prescription. An active burglar career would be a great add for the criminal career - they get caught robbing a business or house they go to jail. Outdoor Retreat Refresh I do not have this pack. But if they would refresh it by updating the map with more lots and a camp option I would consider it. There would be a summer camp one for teens and kids and a new camp counselor career. After all those The Quarry videos I watch I think this refresh and were wolves would work great together. New and current features would include story telling, campfires, beading, mud courses, hiking, bird houses, bow and arrows etc.

Get to Work's retail system. It's a complete disaster. Not only is it vastly inferior than Sims 2's version, it's basically unplayable. It takes too long to get sales, every conversation becomes a group conversation, employees are flawed (they can be worthless, or get trapped in group conversations), point gains are so slow, and very few of the perks are actually good. And on top of all that, you're barely making any money unless you jack up the prices to ridiculous degrees (so it takes longer to get sims to buy things.) You can't even open it and have it run while you're off the lot, so you have to leave your sim there. Having a store to visit is fine, but you're just wasting your time if you're actively trying to run it. Using a sales table is much faster, easier, and gets you money much quicker. EDIT: Oh yeah. Photography and Baking were introduced in this pack. Yet because photos and baked goods make very little money, running a photo gallery or bakery is a huge pain.

How about animating some of the debug objects, so sims can interact with them. It would have been nice to see sims practice kicking a field goal or running track.. Seeing the reuse of the motel from Get Famous in Copperdale was disappointing. I want apartments in that space. The world's be looking so pretty but Sims can't really interact with it. I think there is a movie theater building that people thought would be a rabbit hole.

I would want a GTW refresh so sick Sims go to the hospital, the alien world to have something cool in it. Burglars so cops can have a realistic arrest.

@SnaveXs That would be great. I think adding real animations to ALOT of items would be a good update as well. I saw in HSY sims cant even sit on the bleachers. I was shocked to see the alarm clocks still not be functional. I was even hoping sims would wear a backpack / bag for the school day but of course not. I think their is a movie theater in Oasis Springs and we literally have movie hangout :/. A lot of packs and existing items have potential but its like the focus is just decoration and aesthetics

GTW and HSY. The former ignores a lot of life gameplay associated with it, and the latter strayed from the school theme and turned it into fashion and livestream.

Speculated Future Packs / Refresh

I know we all have shared our opinions on wonderful ideas for protentional packs and features. After seeing the new HSY pack it got me thinking more about future packs and features.

Bands / Instruments / Music
I like many others have posted about this before but I can see a game pack being created specially for music / instruments. I think they will add trumpets, drums, flutes, saxophones, cello etc. and allow for bands to be made. I think they should also update the singing skill and add different types. I can see a small city like world with bars & lounges and the premade sim being in some type of band. It would be cool if this allowed other packs (HSY & University) to have after school band practice and a marching band. Great feature for Get Famous.

Sports
I think a sports game pack could be made. I do not see them adding a world to this but many new features. Sports would add functional and competitive such as cricket, football ,tennis, ballet/dance, track & field, basketball, baseball etc. I can see new jobs being coaches, assistant couches and a huge update to gyms and maybe a new lot type like a sporting arena.

For the packs mentioned above the age group kids and older would be able to play music & sports.

Fitness Refresh- I personally think that exercise equipment such as barbells, kettlebell, elliptical machine, stationary bicycle, exercise balls, and jump ropes and different types of headphones should have been added.

Get To Work Refresh

I agree Aliens look more like Star Trek characters and there isn't much to pursue with them in general. More abilities, more threat related gameplay regarding them and an aspiration set would be cool.

A childhood GP - coming with a baby update, a daycare for toddlers and more acitvities for children and families. Also there was "growing pains" mentioned in one of the surveys 2020/2021 - we didn't get that yet, it's not in the newest High School EP.

I would love to have active school for children too, so I hope there will be a mod for that (I know Zerbu's Go to School Mod, but the new High School expierience is much better and I'd like something similar for children).

An arcade would be cool and a movie theater with new movies added with movie posters
