I want them to bring the online store back. So we can buy worlds, hair/clothes/furniture packs. And many items to be bought either separately or in bundles. That would be better than stuff packs to me @SheriSim57 :)
EA closed down the Salt lake Studio where the store was and the team that made the store stuff worked up until shortly before Sims 3 was finished . The store team - some were let go to other places to work at other companies or brought to EA to work on other games - so there is no more store studio or teams to make the content. Also the store team for Sim 3 made 4 of Sims 3's eps as well - Into the Future, University of lifelong learning, Supernatural, and Showtime.
I got chosen to test Showtime for the Salt Lake City team - they were a great bunch of devs. But the days of Sims stores sounds gone with no studio and no team to make the stuff. As for worlds - I also doubt that is possible as Sims 3 used a world build program (Sims 2 used Sims City 4, and Sims 1 used a 2 D Unity map program) - Sims 4 does not use a world or map building specific program. It uses a much more difficult free hand style with everything crafted individually - using a variety of different software tools that apparently are used to make the world as they build the ep more or less - so it apparently can't just be dropped in like previous worlds. It might also explain why it can't just take changes well after the ep is finished. It's much harder than previous worlds from the looks of it to do things to - which seems to explain why worlds requiring things like cars and usable water is so slow at coming to the game or allowing players to make world or even change neighbor off lot spaces.
