Stuff Pack - "The Good Ol' Days"

So I thought that since many simmers have a nostalgia for Sims games past, that maybe we could get a little pack that pays tribute to some of the small things that we miss, as well as include some things that go with Elder sims. For example, any of the following:

Landline phones
Newspaper delivery that includes a menu to find jobs and a way to "mail order" things that usually require the computer.
Milkman
Weathered, shabby chic, and used but comfortable couches, chairs and beds with knitted blankets or quilts laying over them like grandparents had
More retro CAS styles
More styles of spectacles and reading glasses
Old fashioned radio
Wall clocks, heirloom clocks, alarm clocks
Doorbell
Old fashioned candies
More retro wallpapers
Bingo game
Hair styles and beard recolors with white/silver/gray streaks
Wood burning stove, big clunky gas pipe stove
Trash compactor
Antique tables and end tables, hutches, and strange heirloom clutter decor
Gaudy jewelry
Quilt decor
Sewing/knitting

Patch in: Doghouses

I wouldn't expect all of these things in one stuff pack, but it would be nice to get some of them back. I'd love to hear of any other ideas people have of what they'd like to see in a Stuff pack called "The Good Ol' Days". :)

    I'd definitely be down for a Sims 1 inspired/remastered pack. I do hope landlines would be an optional item, though. I don't really need them, other than in specific retro builds.

    ETA: Could this pack also have Sims approve/disapprove of new things in their homes? I miss that! :D

    They should also patch in Sims waiting for meals, or coming to sit down to eat a meal as a family for this pack as well.

    I miss so many things from Sims 2. The landline should be totally optional, of course, but in truth, I just really want a way for my Sims to be cut off from their mobile phones. I wish we could turn them off completely and disable autonomous use.

    Yeah, that was another thing that Sims 2 did really well. If you had a sim choose to make a group meal, the household would all come to the table and take a seat and wait to be served. It's a small detail but a huge difference when comparing it to the Sims 4 musical chairs issue.

    I hope in the next sim series we can choose to buy our own phone. I have a landline in real life instead of a cell phone. It would be nice if sims had the option of buying cell phones, landlines, or no phone at all.
