Alright, I'm ill and bored, and need some distraction. So I thought of a silly experiment. Let's imagine EA decided to make a pack that includes all the missed opportunities, meaning all the things we thought they should've added to certain packs but didn't. Welcome to The Missed Opportunities Pack! Here is my list (more to follow):- Bunk beds (Kids room, Parenthood, Strangerville, Discover University, Tiny Living)- Toddler items such as a small kitchen, xylophone and more items they can use together (Toddler Stuff)- Pet Store (C&D)- Small animals, more than the few cages we have and not as a separate pack (C&D)- Preschool (Toddler Stuff) - Private school (Kids Room)- Loves/Hates Supernatural and Loves/Hates Technology traits (Realm of Magic)- Comic book store (Discover University)Okay my brain is a little foggy so I'll try to think of others later but I'm curious to see what you guys would add :)

Aw right forgot one:Drums / bands (Get Famous, maybe DU)

I’d add horses, resorts, school, cars, personality.....

I wish they'd included a private practice for doctors, or a private detective in Get To Work. I guess when my doctor sim maxes out her career I'll check to see if there are any mods for that.

Yes, forgot about real police and burglars in GTW, good point @Bloosmoo - and yes, being able to curse sims on purpose would've been nice :(@OriginalName ikr, I have this beautiful little practice in the military that no one can actually use ? so please share the mod if you find it. Also agree on better personalities @Dianesims, still the biggest missed opportunity in the base game.

I still think a teenager stuff pack would be a cool addition, I mean you have parenthood but it doesn't focus specifically on teens and teens are at that point where they've outgrown the kids' stuff and they're generally not interested in YA/Adult stuff. They could add new pop and boyband type of songs that teens generally listen to like simlish versions of 1 Direction and Ariana Grande, and new fashion styles that are unique and applicable to most teenagers and of course some new traits (shy around boys/girls, fanfic writer, comic book collector, etc).

Personality, attraction, fear, real babies. There are so many things that are missed opportunities in this game. I haven't really lost hope for these things being added in at some point in the future. I love the game, it's my favourite iteration so far but at the same time I can't help wish there was more when it comes to how our sims are created and act.

Agreed that a teenager pack would be neat. They really need more to do! I also wish there were more ways for teens to interact with uni - not necessarily by attending but by going to special skill classes to help get them into distinguished degrees, or maybe going to an info session or whatnot!

Btw, sorry if this is a little self promotion but I recently remade one of the magnolia promenade lots to be a teen / YA hangout. You might enjoy it, as it at least gives teens a place to chill :) here's the link: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/5D0B028C45F911EA8B26424E4954C218?category=all&searchtype=ea_origin_id&sortby=downloads&time=all&searchquery=Joanne_Snow&max=50&maxis=false

Missed opportunities I wish we had gotten with recent packs

- bikes for children (DU)
- magic for children (RoM)
- magic leyline lot trait (random chance of spellcaster being born) (RoM)
- magic hang out lot trait (autonomous use of magic by visitor, basically allowing a magic lot wherever we want) (RoM)
- familiars we can interact with, feed them, pet them,... (RoM)
- tiny living space savers like a fridge with usable counter top, laundry machine that slots into counters, loft beds,... (tiny living)
- child mermaids (island living)
- boats for two with the option for the passenger to be a child (island living)

Dancing face to face
Slow dancing

I think I am going to complain about this until it gets done. This is something pretty basic and definitely should be in the game by now.
