The never been done before pack
What is it what could it possibly be it seems like they've done pretty much everything in The Sims at one point or another and I really can't think of anything what about you guys

I don't know if someone has said it before but I have never really seen them do a Steampunk themed pack.
I like the idea of having us be able to make the world somewhat more dystopian. The upcoming expansion might help a bit with that but I don't know what all it will include. I know in the Sims City series you could trigger a disaster to hit the city involving aliens, earthquakes, or plagues. We already have some of the groundwork for those things such as we have aliens (maybe not all of them are nice), one of the lot traits we have is a quake zone (this could just be on a larger scale and happen while sims are going about their day rather than just in one set place), and we already have illnesses (just that everyone would get it and not just one or two sims).
Another thing they have never really added are practical things. How do our sims stay warm in the winter in their homes when it doesn't have a furnace, boiler or radiators to make it so? How can it be scorching outside yet they go inside and they are fine without functional air conditioners or fans? Everyday our sims take showers, baths, bubble baths but how do they warm up the water when there are no water heaters of any kind? They have started to think along these lines with the upcoming pack by introducing things to capture solar/wind energy and dew collectors but the above things can take it even further.
