Everyday - specifically raising families.

I don't want to try and speak for the community as a whole, but it's funny that whenever the community is given the opportunity to vote on content they pick everyday, "mundane" activities like laundry and knitting. There is, of course, an audience for fantasy as the supernatural packs are always very popular. But I do think the devs underestimate the popularity of "normal" EPs (outside of the main three - seasons, pets and uni) like dating and hobbies in order to make new packs and things like Get Famous and Eco Lifestyle that are a bit too "themed" or niche.

Hm, I'd consider Get Famous and Eco Lifestyle "normal." As well as Get to Work, Get Together, City Living, Dine Out, Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day and all of the stuff packs. I don't really feel like they underestimate their popularity. I just feel the content has not been split up too well (like making laundry a pack in and of itself instead of a feature in a larger pack and making Eco an expansion instead of a stuff pack, idk). Another problem has been not including children enough whenever they add content, so family play will always feel lacking even though most of the themes cater to it and, theoretically, should add to it. I don't play children much, but it's probably because I find them boring for those very reasons.

I'd say maybe normal yes, but they aren't family packs for family players. There's a few stuff packs and then seasons and parenthood. Island Living was really good for us family players too mind you. Outdoor Retreat isnt bad but not the best if the family contains babies and tots.
