They should do a stuff pack for men.
With how they neglect men so much, maybe a stuff pack just for men could be an idea? It could come with a free update that adds body hair, the stuff pack could add some additional body hair option...

Well overall I feel the whole pack could be designed with a male audience in mind, of course plenty of stuff could appeal to everyone of course, but as it is they strongly market everything towards women and focus on stuff for women mostly.
So the items and gameplay could focus on more typically masculine activities, which of course women can do too.
Like some stuff to build a man cave or garage, maybe motorcycles along with clothes fit for a biker, and being able to build several kinds of old broken motorcycles and be able to fix them up to something beautiful while developing the handiness skill.
Maybe have some sort of pin up model posters to put on the walls, nothing inappropriate but clearly something sexy.
Some new sports to practice could also be included, like baseball.
Kids could play catch with their parents, there could be a junior league for kids and teens to play in and a bunch of new professional sport careers could be added that could function a bit differently since there's less advancement there and it's more on skill. Could be a job that makes a lot of money if they're good but also something that could become hard to keep up with once no longer young adult. So more something that sims could retire earlier from.
But there could also be a boxing ring, Sims could box against each other. Boxing could be one of the new sport careers.
Or maybe like karate or another martial arts. Possibly a return of Sim Fu, which sims could also use in self defence.
Could also be a new bar venue that could appeal to men, some sort of dive bar where sims might encounter a poolshark or could be the hussling poolshark themselves. Could be sport on the tv there, dart games, and maybe they could add actual alcohol to the game again since sims 1 had it. Let sims have a beer.
Some arcade games could be cool to have too, more videogames would be welcome either way. But I'd love to see arcade games where a sim could sit on a bike or be behind a steering wheel as they play the game, or fire plastic guns at the monitor.
Heck they could revamp the whole way sims play videogames to be more realistic, playing it differently based on genre. And work their traits into it, a hot headed sim should get angry if losing a videogame. The way sims play videogames you'd think EA knows as little about videogames as writers on sitcoms.
