What happened to gameplay kits?

I'm willing to give gameplay kits another shot. I think they would work well for something like a small appliance, and maybe some hobby additions, like a handheld telescope. I think it would be very useful way to get things that would function off the grid. Maybe they could add some paper and a quill, or a typewriter. That doesn't seem like it would impact a lot of coding areas.

I do not expect any worthwhile features or much more gameplay just stuff that would have done well in a stuff pack or any other standard pack. I can't buy into it, it is their product and it is my money

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.

nectar making, as they did it in the sims 3
jewelry and stainless window making
car building
