It's not there because it can be the cash cow that gets players to buy a nonsensical pack that no one really wants (think of something you wouldn't normally buy) just because it has slow dancing returned to The Sims.
No one's going to buy into that even if they offered it, though, because the mod is free, reliable, and easy to use.
You'd be surprised. I can see the posts now, players saying they are buying a stuff pack they would never use,,, ever, just for Slow Dancing! woot! lol Marketing is one crafty exploit.- ChadSims26 years agoSeasoned Rookie

From what I've seen from the slow dancing mod there is major clipping like one hand inside the other Sim in one video. So maybe its just me but that would annoy me to the point I could not use it which is why I have never downloaded it. So put me in the group that would buy any pack its in hopefully a generations, romance or wedding pack where it would actually fit in and a theme I want. - simmerLella6 years agoSeasoned Ace

Nobody knows for sure beyond speculation, but there seems to be some serious issue with the developers getting Sims to actually interact with one another. Most of the group interactions are messy. Take, for instance, snowball fights. They won't even face each other as they throw snowballs, lol. It's such bad and embarrassing quality that it's actually laughable.
Group dancing suffers the same problem. Unless you're doing the synchronized dance moves where Sims look like robots doing the same exact dance routine, they don't dance together. They just dance, while happening to be near each other.
When people are disappointed in The Sims 4, it's really things like that which come up in conversation. Ending support of The Sims 3 and scrapping open world to start all over with the purpose of focusing on Sims themselves should have resulted in things like this to be the LEAST likely scenario. But, as we see, that's not the case, and then the next question that comes up is, beyond the obvious cash-grab, what is The Sims 4's purpose and contribution to the series?
Yeah, Sims 3 (and maybe 2? sorry) has a *fast* dance "with" interaction that looks really smooth, like whoa skillz! Haha. It may not fit every clumsy, ol' sim but they DEFINITELY dance *together,* even fast, if you direct them to dance with and not just dance (near).
I tried to start this at 29 seconds, but it won't. :/ This video is jittery and laggy, but these dances look REALLY smooth in my game, I swear. Haha. :D

And then there are apparently more club dances that I haven't experienced yet (except table dance, hehe), because I just haven't done all the stuff or played clubs much (and skill is involved). I see them in the video now. Awesome. They all work well together.
And then there's the Smustle, more common in Sims 2 since it doesn't require any skill. Sims 2 sims do that all the time, including together. It's AWESOME. - @simmerLella Aww, the slow dance is so sweet!! I really wish I could see it happen in my story!
- The dancing in Sims 4 is Dum would be nice if they would bring slow dancing back it shouldn't be to difficult because they have already done it before they just dont' want to be bothered.
- CapitanTony6 years agoSeasoned AceI shudder to think what slow dancing would even look like, given how ridiculous these sims dance just by themselves.

The two couples dancing in the beginning of that video are exactly what I was talking about. It just feels far more natural to the point where it feels the two Sims acknowledge the other's presence. In The Sims 4, you can click dance together, but they'll dance completely off from one another, and could even be several feet apart. Not sure how that constitutes "dancing together".
