Depends who you’re asking. First pet wasn’t well received but apparently wasn’t a “flop” as it sold well. (Source : https://simsvip.com/2018/05/16/despite-community-sentiment-the-sims-4-my-first-pet-stuff-sold-well/)
Get to work? I don’t know how well received that went but I don’t consider it a flop as it’s one of my favorite expansions packs (even though there can be improvements in it)
Batuu was badly received. worse then I’ve ever seen & rightfully so but there are those that are enjoying it. As for sales, we probably won’t hear about it anytime soon.
As for what I would like to see in the sims 4 is gameplay depth & bug fixes . That’s my main concern before they release any new packs. with every pack comes bugs & they have yet to fully fix many of the bugs that were brought with eco living , the windows update , gardening etc. without those fixes it makes my game unplayable. Gameplay depth is very lacking & despite all the packs I own it still doesn’t change the fact that it’s shallow at its core. I would also like for them to improve & update existing worlds (Sulani with underwater lots, more water activities to do. Sims 2 & 3 both had amazing interactions you can do compare to sims 4. Sims 4 island living is very lackluster ( here’s a comparison video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yn6YW96ToIY
Get to work could use improvement in the doctor career by adding more nurses & actually have them work instead of being on their phone and slacking off, add more to aliens & improve that sad place called Sixam. I would also like for them to add more professions as it’s a ripe off compare to sims 3 ambitions ( here’s another comparison that shows how much more we got for our bucks back in the day:
