I mostly would want the sims5 to include small elements from all the dlc that we had in the sims4. That way the team could easily expand on these features as possible DLCs and those DLC's could interact with each other and the basegame would not feel empty. So basic versions of weather, apartments, pools, toddlers etc. And then you could expand on them in possible DLC's.
For example cars:
- Base Game with Cars, some tunes and customization.
- Expansion Pack, More cars, tunable cars, race cars, racetracks. Cars can be parked in garages in BG.
- Stuff Pack, More cars and customization. Cars can be driven on the racetrack in the EP.
I think that could make a good platform for them to expand with the basgame, the game already have basic versions of everything and you can choose to expand the game with DLC's that you like and have DLC's interact with each other. Like weather, weather is already in the BG, but they could expand that with storms in a weather DLC that affects other DLC's like cars. Roads could become more difficult to drive for example.
This means that when Maxis releases new DLC they do not just update one DLC, they update all of them. It will lead to longer production time but I think that would make the packs much more better.
