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...

The thing with big companies is, that it can be hard to tell if they are being genuinely inclusive, or to score points and draw attention.
If they are focused on the latter, they may not do a pack focused on men because they can't spin extra media attention out of it.
I mean, the Playmobil toy brand for example on one hand shows diversity in the families you can buy from their online store, showing same sex and interracial couples with kids while at the same time they keep anything medieval or fairytales strictly divided into sexist boys and girls themes. While they actually had that gathered together into gender neutral themes in the past.
But for the last two decades it's been pink castles with fairies and all for girls, and forts with only soldiers and knights for boys. So they separated it into two weaker themes that where so much stronger together.
As it is, Sims 4 isn't that far off from the whole 'pretty pink princess' kind of theme. It's like they actively cater to girls who feel too old to play with barbies and give them an alternative.
