The never been done before pack

Pessimism aside I'd love to have some more fantasy/unrealistic elements in the game like more occults, out-of-this-world looking neighbourhoods and overall interesting things to happen like those occasional alien abductions. It makes the game interesting.

I do get that many simmers do like the realistic aspects, so I'd imagine the devs could add a toggle to turn these off, just like they're doing for EL.

However these things have been done before, to some degree (Sims 3 Supernatural, the store pack with the Dragons, Makin' Magic etc.), so maybe something like a superhero/supervillain pack? Different active careers we haven't seen before?

I'd say farming, but didn't we have a Sims 3 store pack for that?

Yes we did have the Sims 3 store farming thing I was thinking maybe it could be something like a fairytale pack they've never done that in The Sims before I mean there was medieval but that was a spinoff thing for that matter that never done at castaway pack which I think would be cool

I still think the future cube was hinting towards a medieval fairy tale type thing because it mentions The gnome riding the llama holding a frozen freezer bunny a loft and ridding towards a utterly terrible foe

That kinda reminds me of Don Quixote and the windmills.

I personally would like a teen thing. Or a winter vacation GP. Or Farming (but I’d rather have it in an an EP. Of course I want cars, but that wouldn’t be a “never done before” GP. Same for horses.

Anyway I was thinking with the supernaturals it was more of like a horror kind of a vibe then I a fairy tale kind of a vibe plus there are no princes or princesses no fairy godmothers no magical fairy tale castles no knights in shining armor a lot of the things that make a fairy tale fairy tail just weren't in that pack and when I think of a fairytale I also think of things like golden eggs and hair long enough to climb that sort of thing

Alternate dimension pack? Where the game creates a copy of current world save files and every sims therein but with most of the buildings are different as well as how our sims looks (fashion wise), their current relationship and personality also different than their counterpart.

I think a stranger vill thing would work for a castaway pack because you would want it to be kind of linear wouldn't you

Possibly Don coyote would make sense

To be fair, it said "major first for us". It could mean that it's a first in terms of gameplay or theme or both, though maybe not for the whole franchise but only TS4. If it's only for the team, it could be something from TS1 or TS2 coming back, or even Freeplay. Since the blog didn't say "for the game", I'm leaning toward it being new for the team to work on. (also helps with keeping expectations in check).

It could be so many things within those expectations.
Teen theme would be great. Cruise ship (and a "moving" world would be awesome. Horses and the various possible activities around them would be interesting.

It is true they have yet to do a Sims apocalypse
