What Pack Would You Like To See Refreshed?

Also I wish they would update the swatches for all packs, a lot of build/buy items still don't have black and white swatches, other could really benefit from more swatches to make them more versatile (for example, the Paranormal Stuff secretary desk has no wood tones swatches, the Cats and Dogs couch could really, really use more swatches, the kitchen from Vampires has only THREE swatches, the base game S. Cargaux kitchen has no color swatches (it would be so nice in pastel tones....etc).

I will never, ever object to more swatches. Added swatches are the most exciting updates for me. I'm a dork.

And can we get cabinets to match all the counters that came without them?

I started to have this weird feeling that since they didn't do a pack refresh for City Living with customizable apartments/the residential rental lot type and landlords, now it is definitely POSSIBLE we may get a proper Open For Business/Entrepreneur EP with shopping malls and better retail + ticket machine system, no one can convince me it is impossible lol. SimGuruGrant or other SimGuru did say back in 2018 when they did the My First Pet Stuff as an experiment to see if people would buy DLC for DLC that he would love more retail gameplay in a future DLC. So I am sure it is not impossible for them to expand retail gameplay in a future pack since it seems like Spa Day level pack refreshes are not a thing anymore.

The main three

Dine Out Fix all the bugs and glitches, make it fully smooth to run a restaurant and visit one, add a active Waiter Career, More Build/Buy items and CAS clothing, more restaurant types would be cool too.

Outdoor Retreat all the wooden furniture, add proper hiking paths, swimmable lake, more things to do such as archery etc.

Spooky Stuff Bring back Proper Trick and Treating like in The Sims 3, more Halloween based food such as a pumpkin pie, pumpkin iced cupcakes etc, more costumes too.

Get to Work and Island Living.

Aliens and Mermaids need a massive overhaul.

Outdoor Retreat, Get To Work, Get Together - old packs. New blank world sort of like Newcrest but different.

Dine out,let us play as a chef waiter and have our family do buisiness.

Get to Work,better retail,be able to make your own clinic,and lab


Island Living better mermaids,

My top two are Island Living and Realm of Magic.

Realm of Magic refresh should include spellcaster kids and toddlers be able to do some magic and be touched by magic such as scruberoo. They could also have some special moodlets and things like werewolf offspring does. Vampire offspring should also have stuff like that and the other occults too. Maybe what I really want is an occult offspring update.

Realm of Magic refresh could also contain tea leaf reading and magic ward objects or something like that. It would be fun if you could use wards for example to fend off CoL foxes, but that's probably too much pack integration to ever see daylight.

I loved the Island Living refresh ideas in this thread, especially the better mermaids ideas, such as a skill/perk tree and better CAS options (gill and scale skin details, more fins etc). Mermaids should have more special abilities.


Outdoor Retreat refresh would be nice too if it added swimmable water to Granite Falls and more things to do there.

Get To Work could definitely use a refresh.

1. We should be able to build functional Retail stores that work on their own, have sims come to the register. You know like in earlier The Sims games. Running Retail stores is a great feature, but they should be functional by themselves as well.
2. The hospital should be visitable by sims when they're sick.

These are a couple of things. I like realism, and I like bringing my sims to physical locations instead of rabbitholes. So things like the above always disappoint me.

I know that #1 is kinda possible, but I don't really know how to make it work perfectly. Like I downloaded a mall lot on the gallery that functions independently (but no retail clerks show up at the register. *rolls eyes*), but if I want to edit it and add my own objects (which I very much do!) there's no way to set those items as for sale.

Why can't things just be like they were in TS1 and 2? *sigh*

Cats and Dogs
Include birds, reptiles and insects. Improve upon the current frogs and fish as pets.
Let us enter our cats and dogs into competitions (not rabbit holes) with prize money. Allow Cats and Dogs to become famous if that EP is installed.
Give us pet careers.

Get to work
Let us go to the hospital to cure illnesses.
Aliens need a revamp.
Running home businesses.

Dine out
Actually run a restaurant, play as a chef or waiter.
