If you had the power to retroactively add one thing to each expansion pack, what would it be? Something that would have the gameplay seem richer and was specific to that pack. Please no adding "Cars" or "Open World" but something new or exciting. I thought something that would have been cool for the 20th anniversary is if they added a little feature that complemented each expansion. But alas. It's fun to imagine though!For me it would be;Get To Work: A Work Dinner function where you can try and shmooze your boss into giving you a promotion. It can go horribly wrong though and you might get demoted or even fired. Get Together: A sleepover event for your kid's clubs.City Living: The ability to buy and rent out apartments and another real estate. You could become your own slum lord or gentrify a neighbourhood and change the vibe. Also, a good way to spend your money once your family is ultra-rich. Cats and Dogs: Dog Shows where you can show off your pets tricks and grooming and win money.Seasons: Pool Parties and being invited to other people's events on holidays. Get Famous: The ability to hire a bodyguard to keep away fans. Think of the star/bodyguard romances that could go on!Island living: This is so small, but a sandcastle building contest. Kids would love it. Discover University: Skateboarding SkillWhat about you? What would you add?

I use mods so if something is not in the game it might eventually show up as a mod. We should not have to use mods to fix the game but instead they should enhance the game. Somethings I don't think mods will ever do... I would like a more fleshed out mermaid like vampires and spellcasters got. They could also expand aliens like that also. AND ... I would like to be able to invite the entire household over including toddlers. Finally, I want to be able to click on my Sim and send them to uni class like we can for work and school. Or go to class early. They could add code to make Sims monogamous. I use a mod for this now. My ultimate wishes ... ARE to be able to pick one or two seasons, which occults appear in my save and I want to be able to turn off the parenthood ask for advice and character values. I mean we can opt our Sims out of fame. Why can't we opt of being "good" parents.I don't know if it's bug or not but I have snow and rain turned off in options but thunderstorms and blizzards still happen.

One thing in each? Okay, mine would be:Get To Work: An Occult Hunter playable career. Something flexible that could be selected for all Occults or just one type. Example: Vampire Hunter, Witch Hunter, Ghost Hunter, or general Supernatural Hunter. I know that Ghosts were the only thing out at the time, but if they went back to add something, this could be it. If this is too complicated, then how about that Grim Reaper career?Get Together: The ability for Sims to dance together. Not in a performance style like they do now, but facing each other, like real people do. Like when a group of girls go out and hit the dance floor, they sometimes dance in a circle, facing each other. Or if a couple goes out to dance, they usually dance facing each other, not leaving each other to go gawk at the DJ. (Honestly, who does that?)City Living: Buildable apartments. Or even placeable apartments. I'd even settle for direct replicas of what's in City Living but be able to place them in Newcrest or another map. I just need more living spaces and I really want apartments. It's ridiculous that they're confined to one city. Cats and Dogs: A toggle for sick pets or gameplay adjustment so that if you're not actively playing a veterinarian they won't get sick at all. I'm really fed up with sick animals everywhere in Brindleton Bay.Seasons: Hmm. I'd say either foggy days or the ability to delete the premade holidays completely. Or, actually, how about an "ignore holiday" feature for Sims to not get bummed out every single time the player doesn't cater to the holiday. This gets old very, very fast and I may not want to delete the holiday altogether because I may sometimes use it in a different household, but I want to be able to have some Sims ignore Winterfest or Brawl Day or TV Premiere Day or whatever without getting bummed out. Get Famous: The ability to have normal conversations and build relationships with celebrities. For crying out loud...Island Living: My God, just one? How about underwater swimming or a secret lot on the other side of the cave with hidden treasure that has a low percentage of being found, or boats that can take multiple Sims, or more Mermaid powers or Mermaid furniture styles made out of seashells, sea glass and seaweed, like a giant oyster bed... any one of those.Discover University: Add in for term progress to freeze without kicking Sims out of Uni so that rotational players can still switch households and play other stories without the game taking charge of the Uni Sims and making them fail or graduate.

Ohh, I love a lot of the ideas here. I'll try and go for different ideas with mine.Get To Work: Having your own retail store at home, like in Open for Business. Get Together: Adding toddlers to clubs, so we can have toddler play dates at the park.City Living: More festivals. Cats and Dogs: Small pets, including an overhaul on fish and frogs. Take care of them like you can in Sims 3. Seasons: New and improved PlantSims. Get Famous: Tabloids and gossip. Sometimes, they'll be based on real incidents in games - like you picking a fight with someone, or the time you wet yourself in public. Every so often, a false rumor will be started about you, and it could hurt or hinder your reputation if you don't actively fight it. Island living: A surfing skill and an associated competition. Train your body and mind through practice, then compete to win money or rare items.Discover University: Active classes. Let us chat up our teachers, work on assignments with our fellow classmates, skill-build, listen to lectures and use our extra time to get a head-start on homework.

Get to Work: Either more active careers or making more of the existing careers active. Or an approach to the retail feature that made it more rewarding to just have your Sims be the shopper rather than the business owner. Also, some sort of expedited aspect of shopping so you don't have to jump through hoops to make a profit in your business. And also a robust simulation of owning a business without having to always be playing the business.Get Together: More dancing styles (modern, ballet, tap, swing, etc.). And a dancing career. More communal activities for teens and younger; like extensive amusement arcades or carnivals or some sort of mock-Chuck E. Cheese place where kids can go to have fun. This was the perfect pack to add a lot more gameplay for non-YA/Adults, and it fell short in that regard.City Living: Either a more extensive apartment editing system or more festivals as others have said. A skatepark would have gone great in this pack also. Also rollerblading or using a scooter or bike to get around could have been introduced here.Cats and Dogs: birds, reptiles, in general small pets both conventional and unconventional. Seasons: Figure skating career.Get Famous: More athletic careers or skills/activities (because athletes are celebrities too) like tennis, gymnastics, golf, etc. A more elaborate filmmaking career to include Directing career, Cinematography, Editing, Sound Design, etc..Island Living: N/A as I don't have it.Discover University: N/A as I don't have it.Non-pack specific but I'm always wishing for an in-game way to disable the cellphone. And also I would like to contain certain Sims to certain worlds. And also neighborhood traits that are sort of like lot traits but blanket over multiple lots, so you can still have individual lot traits while also sharing other traits with other lots.

Get To Work - Improved aliens. And if I'm really dreaming, a new alien neighborhood on Sixam.Get Together - The ability to have up to 12 sims in a club as well as more dance styles.City Living - The ability to design and set up our own customized festivals.Cats and Dogs - Aspirations or life goals for pets.Seasons - Weather app or channel that tells you what the weather is like in the other worlds.Get Famous - A paparazzi work from home career where you're required to talk to and take pictures of celebrities.Island Living - An underwater lot to explore and a unique tombstone/urn for mermaids.University - Online courses that allow a sim to hold a job while still getting an education.

Get together or Seasons: Actually allowing kids to garden or cook or paint on a tablet. In what world does a kid not know how to plant something?

oh this is an interesting thread here are my additions

Get Together - hrm since this was sort of the outing\night life pack I would have like to see an attraction system or traits to be a bit more developed. It should have been difficult to have certain sims in the same club because of clashing personalities. Like snobs may not want to be in a group with practical jokers.

Get to Work - I am torn between a better Sixam or a retail overhaul. Both felt like an afterthought.

City Living - I really wanted to be able to build my own apartments IN OTHER WORLDS too. This was a good opportunity to bring in burglars and firemen just saying.

Cats and Dogs - I would have deleted the MFPS and added it in the expansion YEAH!! I think the OP mentioned Dog shows...that would have been cool too.

Seasons - I wanted a POOL PARTY and this was a great opportunity to designate what outfits sims arrived in at your party. This is a huge request for me.

Get Famous - should have included an active singing and modeling career.

Island Living - UGH so much is missing... Two things I really wanted included were two-person boats and scuba diving (depth to the water)
Honorable mention for IL - I really wanted Luau events rather than those ridiculous community events that you don't even know about. The reuse of the bonfire is ridiculous. At least they could have added the hula dance or fire dance where everyone could have joined in.

Discover University - I would have thought about the rotational players and allowed many sims to attend college at the same time staying different dorms with no progression so they DON'T FAIL OUT OF COLLEGE. Sims2 style University. I totally wanted all my teens to go to college at the same time and rotate between them there.
Honorable mention is I would have fixed the secret society so it meant something to be in it even after leaving college....and getting in omg baking stuff or finding rocks? I like the SIMS2 way where you have to be friends with 3 of them.

I can't comment on the packs I don't have but...

Base game: I have mentioned this in past posts, would have really liked more physical pranks available in the Mischief social option (i.e. like noxious cloud and voodoo) The majority of choices seem to be different types of lies which feel more like a mean interaction.

Moschino Stuff: Group photo options of more than three sims.

Realm of Magic: Have powerful forces of light or darkness appear sometimes in the environment, which your Sims can either battle with or harness for their own use.

Strangerville: Add extra symptoms to infection, such as the infected eventually turning into Bizarre Plant hybrids if not cured fast enough.

Vampires: A hidden world in Forgotten Hollow (the underworld, perhaps?)

Island Living: Same as above; either expand the cave on Mua Pel'am, or I also like the idea that's come up a few times here of an underwater world.
