Forever Free Packs for Everyone
The Sims 4 is a 10-year-old game with over 100 DLC packs (110), and EA will likely keep releasing more for years. Competing life-sim games like Inzoi and Paralives offers much of this content in their base game. For example, Inzoi can provide content equivalent to 30–40 Sims 4 packs in its basegame for the price of just one expansion pack(40$) and we already have 21 of them. To stay competitive and keep players engaged, EA should make some older packs permanently free—such as Seasons, Cats & Dogs and Get to Work. Giving 2–4 free packs from each pack category would greatly benefit new players so they can complete other packs without pirating. For players who already own these packs, EA could offer new Kits free for a month (like they did with Desert Luxe Kit when The Sims 4 became free). I think forever free packs should be; 2 expansion packs -> seasons, cats and dogs (out of 21 eps) 2 game packs -> dine out, get to work (out of 12 gps) 4 stuff packs -> cool kitchen, bowling night, backyard, spooky (out of 20 sps) 5 kits -> throwback fit, industrial loft, blooming rooms, carnaval streetwear, moonlight chic (out of 43 kits of excluding 12 creator kits and 2 spongebob kits, total 57)
Owned DLC Missing Items In Game
I have been encountering an error message in game that says "Content Not Installed." It says that "Purchased or other content used in this gallery item is not installed. If you place it now, you will not see the uninstalled content. Do you want to place this household/lot." I have a lot of expansion packs, stuff packs, game packs, and a few kits, but do not utilize any CC or Mods at all. The items that I'm having an issue with are all households or lots that I made myself with all the packs that I own. When viewing it in my Gallery, under the most recent updates, it now has two tabs at the bottom. The left one for "show used items from these packs" and displays all my packs that I own and that are downloaded. The right one says "show used items" and has a red X over a few items that I just chose in CAS with no problem. I tried making a sim and saving it with 0 DLC content and didn't have the error message. I did it again with just 1 random item from a DLC and was given the message. Not every time I do this will it show the red X, but I always get this message when trying to place my own content from the Gallery into a save. I waited until the new updates and downloaded those. I used the EA app to repair all content. I cleared the cache. Tried closing out the game and starting it up again. I'm sure there's other things I haven't tried that might work, but I haven't seen a lot of people commenting about this particular issue.

I hate it.
Wish I would have never updated. Not only did the update take 1hr and 30 minutes but my SIM no longer does anything but lag! I cannot get her to do anything but stand around and stare! Sims keep lagging into my house even though my doors are locked. I made a tiny home and when I use 1st person I can only see one room. When she finally starts to complete a task it's never ending! She does the task forever until I have to cancel it! And then it's usually not even complete. For example I had my SIM fix a sprinkler and she fixed it for 2 in game hours. My sprinklers also have the unbreakable added to them and they break more often than before!! My SIM has as I type, been washing her hands for 3 minutes! It's horribly slow, I hate the market place options/prices/set up. It's horrible. I'm a very unhappy customer and I love the Sims. I have been obsessed since I was a child. But clearly the developers do not care about their customer base. And instead of implementing anything that we would want you brought something no one asked for and 100 million bugs. Also Everytime I load in it decided to show me every pack I have so each time I log in I have to re-click all of the things I know I've had for years now! As if I just downloaded all of it again, each time I load in?!! The game is near unplayable!! [CM edit - profanity]
Hippy/Boho-chic/Retro clothing wedges platforms sandals for Console?
I currently game on xbox and I noticed there are not many shoe or clothing options for girls like me that like more 1969s 70s and 90s clothing, wedge, clog, and platform shoes. It really stuns my creative inspiration in COS when I want to create certain anesthetic for my sims and I can't complete the look because the shoe and clothing that I require doesn't exist on console. I love a good patchwork chunky clog shoe or maybe strappy wedges long flown dresses fringe tops and jackets with soft colors and flowers also loose fitting dresses wit layers. It takes me back school days seeing my art teacher with the long flowing colorful dresses that had the cutest platform shoes or wedge sandals and thinking how I wanted to dress like her when I grew up. It leaves a big hole for 1960s 70s and 90s fashion enthusiasts like me to be fully creative with my sims vintage lifestyle.
