What happened to gameplay kits?

I'd love to see a few more kits with some of the items I miss from Sims 2. My wishlist would include:

Sewing machine and/or pottery wheel from Freetime with their craftable items
Pool table/billiards
More instruments and the option to play certain ones together as a band (if that would fit in a kit)

But I suspect the bugginess of bust the dust made them step back from them until they can do a better job.

Also they seem to be using CAS/BB sets as filler for gaps in their usual pack release schedule, and gameplay takes more resources that aren't being spent on filler.

the butter churning
nectar making, as they did it in the sims 3
jewelry and stainless window making
car building
toy making and lot ticket machine
