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:

I would also say just because something sells well doesn't mean it was well-received either. I always feel like EA only cares about how many copies they sell instead of how many people were actually satisfied with the pack and the gameplay. I mean I've bought almost all the packs besides two and I don't think all of them are great. That's what reviews are for and feedback and if the feedback and reviews are split or mostly negative than I would say that the pack was a flop no matter how many copies it sold.
& as long as they’re making profit from these packs they don’t care about the feedback from the player base which is why we were told not to have any expectations on future packs as they are not going to deliver what most of the fan base has been wanting since the start.
