Improvements to the Game – Prizes & Quests

Question

Hello, I signed up to the forum to report the bugs of the new daily quests – but while I'm here, I thought I might submit some general feedback about the things that have recently made the game quite repetitive, dull and definitely less fun to play. Perhaps somebody else wants to add their points here, too? Especially, if there are any specific quests/prizes that you wish to return to the game as well, we can start making a list here. Mine are the following:

QUESTS: Bring back (seasonal) quests! I’ve realised that recently there’s only craft challenges, influence islands and SimChase on repeat, but what about the quests? Those were so much fun, like the Christmas quests or the one to win the treehouse, the Inner Child's Play Quest. Especially with the latter, I missed the grand prize of the treehouse last time and I'd be over the moon if we got another chance to get this one.
REPEATING PRIZES: Why do you only repeat recent prizes, but not older ones? I've been playing for a few years now, but it seems like the prizes are just rotating and I never get to experience what came before that. For example, I’m still waiting for a re-run of the Kids Party House craft challenge. I'm also not a big fan of bringing back the same prices in different colours – I'd rather prefer a repeat of the same colours, if anything. For example, I was hoping for a re-run of the SimChase 66 Sweet Skate-Off at some point and was so disappointed when it returned as SimChase 87 Pastel Pro Skater, as this one did not have the original pastel colours, but this dull purple and green, which are not even proper pastel colours… please bring it back with the original colours. Those were great, I’d love another chance to reclaim all pastel items!
MATERNITY PRIZE PACKS: Along the same lines, please find better ways to reclaim old pregnancy packs as well. Perhaps with pregnancy tokens in the maternity store? I’d love to get some old ones, would even pay money for it. My favourites to return would probably be Pack 28, 29, and 32 that had those beautiful (dotted and pastel) sweater dresses as the outfits. I did not manage to claim them at the time.
SHOP OFFER: Last but not least, the offered items in the shop are not very good. Only far and few between are interesting things. If you are not planning on repeating the older events/prizes mentioned above, why not offer more of it regularly in the shop and have people buy it for in-game currency or actual money? I think there is a much bigger incentive to buy prizes that you missed out on getting. I would probably buy any of the items I mentioned, like the Kids Party House, the Inner Child's Play treehouse, the pastel items (especially the vanity) from SimChase 66 Sweet Skate-Off, or the maternity prize packs 28, 29 and 32.

Just adding the images of the prizes/quests I'd love to return to the game here, as I didn't know that it wouldn't show them as attachments to the post above. Can't wait to hear if anybody else wants to add something to the list.
