I would be ok with a gamepack. That being said, I think a lot of the things that people find lacking for children, especially, could be solved by continuing to do with future packs with any theme what they've done with CL and the upcoming base game patch: add functionality for children to participate in the same activities that other ages do. For example, they really need to go back and add animations for children to ride bikes. We shouldn't have to buy a whole new pack for that, as it's something they should have done from the beginning, so they should go back bit by bit and add those things in patches. If they would do that, and continue to add occasional new objects specifically for children (the playtent was nice, a treehouse would be even better) and if they do a better job of including child animations for future objects and activities... particularly if they ever do some sort of hobbies pack... then I think that would already add a lot.
But I'm not opposed to an additional stuff pack or game pack. I also agree with some of the comments above about enhanced group play for kids. I also really want more afterschool club options, but again, we don't necessarily need a kid-specific pack for that; remember, we got drama club with Get Famous. If we do indeed get a singer/bands/music pack, I would sincerely hope they would take the opportunity to add afterschool clubs for band, music club, and/or chorus/glee club/a cappella club. As long as they do a better job of integrating children's activities and group/family content into all themes, which they need to do anyway, then probably that will be enough to make me happy.
Yeah I agree but a lot of the things I mentioned, except the bikes, are separate stuff for children. Like some things like skateboarding can be smth for teens or YA but with kids also being able to use them. But there are a lot of things that are specifically for kids and toddlers and the best they do in a pack is include kids in a feature but they barely ever have seperate features or gameplay objects for kids. Like in cottage living there is no separate gameplay object for kids. They are just included in the stuff adults can do. But in dhd they have a play tent and in seasons and get famous kids got new after school activities.
I'm not saying every pack should have a gameplay object for kids because it doesn't always make sense but I think there is just a lot missing for the younger life states that there should be a pack that focuses on them and just adds a bunch of stuff for them instead of them getting small bits and pieces of content in different packs.
