What packs do you think we will never get?

Cars and horses The roads are very clearly not designed as roads. Sims walk randomly from point A to B in as short of path as possible, so every world would need to have a unique pathing system to be believable. With horses I don’t think this problem would exist because theoretically they’d function the same as bikes, but beyond a stuff pack what could you really do with horses that people will spend $30 on?
You may very well be correct that we will never get cars. However, it has been noted over and over again, for years, on this forum that driving on roads is far from the only (or even the most interesting!) thing one could do with a cars packs. For those of you who remember Sims 2, we didn't really see the sims drive them on the road in that version, either, but there were lots of great interactions. Rebuilding the cars, and painting/designing them, working on them in the garage or driveway, "parking" in the car for makeout sessions (not to mention woohoo), sitting in the car with friends listening to music, etc. I initially didn't even think cars were something I wanted back in those days, but some of my favorite TS2 moments ended up being the times when parents or older siblings taught teens how to work on the car. I would love to have all of that back, it would add so much flavor and personality to the game.
I don't remember whether "teach to drive" was an interaction, but it would be another great option. Who among us doesn't remember our parents teaching us to drive IRL, and how much time they made us spend in the car before we ever got on the road, adjusting things, lecturing us about safety, etc. That would be so cute to see in the sims.
Similarly, even if you don't have memories of making out in the car with your significant other as a teen or YA, didn't we all have times when we'd go somewhere with a group of friends and just park and sit in the car, listening to music and talking about life? For that matter, even as a grumpy middle-aged person, I still do that with my friends sometimes... there's something about a parked car that feels like a confessional.
Tl; dr: cars could be so, so much more than just set dressing or driving on roads.
