Can we get a pool slide?
I would love if we could get a pool slide for base game. The animation and style for one like the treehouse would be great, and perhaps simplify adding it since part of the animation may be able to be borrowed from that? Also... while I'm pool-dreaming, it would be very nice to have a diving board in base game. Likewise, the animations are already there for the diving boards added by 'Get Together'.
Possible Game Option Update?
I'm wondering if MAXIS could add a choice regarding Vendors for the food stalls, for the base game, to the Game Options. That way you could choose to have vendors manning all the food stalls you have set out in game, from say ... 10-7p in-game time, as well as having the ones that MAXIS had originally included. (Yeah, I find it rather sucks to add a food stall to a public place - like one of the parks - only to have to "Hire a Vendor" for it every time I go visit, and then have them leave after 2 in-game hours.)
🎂 10 years ! And now ?
Hi, Maxis already delivered 80 pieces of the puzzle but the picture is not complete yet. I hope the new packs will be about : TS1 Livin' Large (Casino and Genie) TS1 Vacation (Carnival games) TS1 Unleashed (Reptile pets and Spiral staircases) TS1 Makin' Magic (Circus) TS2 Nightlife (Cars) TS2 Seasons (Plantsims) TS2 Bon Voyage (Hotel, Unsavory Charlatan NPC and vacation gameplay) TS2 FreeTime (Hobbies) TS Castaway Stories (Shipwrecked) TS3 World Adventures (France, Egypt and Mummies) TS3 Ambitions (Firefighter and Tattoo Artist careers) TS3 Late Night (Band) TS3 Generations (Imaginary Friend, Party Dancer NPC and Walking Cane) TS3 Showtime (Magician and Acrobat careers) TS3 Supernatural (Fairies and Zombies) TS3 Into The Future (Time Travel) TS3 Store: Lunar Lakes (Exoplanet colony) TS3 Store: Dragon Valley (Dragon) TS3 Store: Roaring Heights (1920s to 1940s) TS Medieval (Royal family and Time Travel) [NEW] Childhood (More games for children) [NEW]Millionaire Life (Old money vs New money) [NEW] Ancient Greece [NEW] Superheroes
If you do a Grim Reaper/Funeral Pack - Cemeteries, Poison Garden, Grim Call-backs, Ghosts & Zombies
Note - I'm a firm believer in cross-pack integration and functionality. If a new pack can have some features that unlock things for a previous pack and it improves or freshens the experience that give the other pack a bit more longevity, then it's worth doing. But what do I know I've only been in sales and marketing for 15 years. This should be a pack that is respectful since it deals with death a difficult subject for some people. However it absolutely must be creepy and atmospheric and detailed. This is also an obvious opportunity to Update Occults/Supernatural aspects as well. If they are doing something with the Grim Reaper they probably have it already figured out about what powers you would have if you are playing as him. This is more a list to complement a pack that would deal with the Grim Reaper, death and related subjects. It also gives me another opportunity to suggests things I've always wanted in game. For what its worth here is what I would like to see. The Grim Reaper - Small Details Bonehilda still has a crush on the Grim Reaper Grim Reaper will again do the ding-d*o*n*g ditch prank from Sims 2 at midnight on Halloween (Spooky Day) if you have 4 Jack O'Lanterns out within 4 tiles of your front door If you have Spooky Day cookies sitting out at Midnight there will be a chance that Grim will show up and take one and raid the nectar supply, which will in turn leave puddle as he is a skeleton Grim Reaper will allow a Sim Ghost to play chess against him and if they win Grim will resurrect the ghost. This references Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal starring Max Von Sydow. The Grim Reaper is cordial but resents Vampires because they are creatures that have cheated Death i.e. Grim The Grim Reaper feels sorry for Zombies but doesn't resent them because it already reaped their soul when they passed away Grim isn't evil they just look that way. They're actual an angel really…an angel of death. Grim only shows their angel wings when they're really furious New Additions to Ambiance Bells in the belfry will toll at Midnight, 6AM, Noon and 6PM. Sunday mornings they will play a familiar tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o19YuGdtvRE Changing Flame Colors for Bonfires, Fireplaces, Fire Pits, Torches and Candles Gates will get a new Upgrade - Creaking Gate, Lubricated Gate. So we can have a bit of ambiance noise for scary places. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foUyyBM2ins Grandfather Clock Update - I absolutely think we need more sound ambiance in game. Especially with anything spooky as it sets the mood. Choice of Chimes Ode to Joy Westminster Whittingham Tolls at Midnight, 6AM, Noon, & 6PM Winding the Clock I'd also suggest doing the mantle clocks too along with chime sound more appropriate to them. If by some miracle they were amenable I would make cuckoo clocks have chimes at the same intervals Outside Animal Sound Ambiance - If we don't already have it (I cannot remember) Bats Screeching Crows Cawing Owls Hooting Wolves Howling in the Forrest Update to the Fireplace Upgrade Autolight - Only automatically turns on when the outside temperature is 40 degrees or below Create a cleaning Interaction for the Fireplace to clean out ashes.

I suggest the bend in the road before Straud Manor, Vlad's home. The Willow Creek cemetery should be placed on the street across from the Jazz bar and gymnasium. The cemetery should be made like the above ground ones in New Orleans. It should have a slight Baron Samedi/voodoo flavor about it Updates to Sulani & Mt.

Hotel Resorts expansion pack
I want to discuss your hopes and wishes for a Hotel expansion pack in Sims 4! Let‘s do a wishlist: Room service I want to be able to order food to my room using room service Functional elevators Hotels need to have elevators with actual animations of Simsgoing inside. Also elevators should be a new WooHoo spot like in Sims 2. Elevators could also be an entire object you can place like a two-story elevator or three-story elevator. Extra Large aquarium tanks I would love more luxurious hotel lobby items like a large aquarium (like Sims 2 Apartment Life) where we can display the fishes we have caught (like with smaller aquariums in Sims 4) What are your ideas for a hotel expansion pack? Reply below!
Sims 4 Fairies & Medieval
I'd still really love to see Fairies brought to Sims 4 sometime soon, please! We now have 3 out of the 4 occults that came in Sims 3 Supernatural, and I really hope one day we get Fairies for Sims 4! And while I'd love to see Fairies get their own Game Pack, if that's not possible for whatever reason, I'd still love to see them be included in an Expansion Pack like Mermaids and Aliens were, even if they're not the main focus! I'd love to have deep GP level gameplay, but I'd rather have less gameplay as an EP side feature than no Fairies at all. I think if The Sims: Medieval ever got like, a Sims 4 Expansion Pack remake, Fairies would go really well as a side feature in a pack similar to that! And I was part of the community that voted for the Medieval Castle Kit, which was the winning feature in the last time we got to vote on something like that, so I think it's an idea that would sell! There's so much love for Sims Medieval to Sims 4 cc conversions already in the Sims Community. A lot of people I know also like using cc and mods to make their Dungeons and Dragons fantasy characters. So having an Expansion Pack that adds a Medieval world, with fairies and maybe elf-like CAS options, would be popular I think! But even if all of that ^ is a bit too much to ask for, I do really hope we at least get Fairies one day before Project Rene comes out!
Too many "Lovestruck" couples everywhere!
[Edit 2024-10-10 -> Adding the pic which represents the topic name better] I knew there was a similar discussion. However, I haven't found any discussion about this issue about "everywhere" yet. So, I start a new one with the information from my testing with my saved file. (Disclaimer: My save is modded, has MCCC, and has "Show Sim Info" to get info.) I visited a park in Chestnut Ridge and found a couple named Roswell who live in Strangerville. It's so lovely, isn't it? But there are some strange things about this. If you have Strangerville GP, you will know that... Townies who live in Strangerville "rarely" spawned outside their world. Some places have exceptions about region limits such as restaurants, bowling lots (team members with uniforms), gossipers in Finchwick Fair, etc. You can't find them appearing outside without a special role. Then I have evidence that it's a Lovestruck (EP16) issue. I used the "Show Sim Info" mod to see the name of their role and found this (red underline). This can make sure that they are spawned by the game to have a date. In another try that I played for a longer time, after a few minutes, the game spawns at least 3 couples. I saw from other players that it can reach 4 couples too. About my personal opinion. It would be cute and lovely if it's only 1-2 couples and has the more rare chance to appear such as 10-20% or 50% at most. It shouldn't be every time like the current situation. They should respect the region-limited rule if it exists. And they shouldn't appear in the place they shouldn't be such as temple ruins in Selvadorada. I think it would be better to give "EP16NPC_VenueDate" sims in a specific place to make it more special. Why don't they appear mostly inCiudad Enamorada, the city of love? I wouldn't complain if it's like that. You can spawn as many lovers as you want in the city of love! Or I think it can be like "The Festival of Light" in Mt. Komorebi where couples from every world are spawned. It should be a collab with Seasons EP's Love Day too. I wouldn't complain much if the couple is spammed on this holiday. (But please don't give "situation outfit" to them cruelly lol.) I don't mind about the same couple appearing again and again if it's for a more special situation. This time, I can't make up my mind to play the main save until there are some mods to fix this. (Sadly I can't disable this pack because I already use the new hairstyle from this EP in my main sims because it fits him perfectly. And I'm busy lately, so I can wait longer.) That's all! Feel free to share your thoughts. I hope this will be tuned or fixed soon! P.S. I don't save this process in my main save, but I am honestly happy with Roswell for having a lovely moment time during this short period, even in the Gym! And it's so ironic that it's Love Day in my main save right now.new historical/vocational careers and pack updates
Careers in the sims are a bit uninteresting. Most are rabbitholes, with the exception of get to work active careers. Some careers/freelance jobs allow you to work from home and are more flexible. Sims can choose not to join a career and make money from a hobby like woodworking or fishing. With packs like home chef, crystal creations, and cottage living, it's easier to make money without owning retail stores by selling homemade items. However, I've wanted more variety in careers for a long time, including historical careers, vocational careers, and updates to existing packs to add better career options. This pack/update would also allow teen sims to become apprentices until they age up and can join the career. To become an apprentice, the sim must find a master NPC, befriend them, and then an interaction will show up to ask to become an apprentice. Apprenticeships would function similarly to learning magic from a sage in realm of magic DLC. The NPC would have an apprenticeship menu with interactions for improving skill knowledge and learning crafting recipes. Pack features: New machine operator career and factory career venue. When I purchased growing together and saw the description for San Sequoia (which said it had a fishing industry) I thought, why is there no fishery? The career would entail working on an assembly line (conveyor style) producing a variety of processed foods. There would also be 2 career branches: cannery and fishery. The cannery would specialize in canned produce, frozen meals, and microwave meals, while the fishery would specialize in seafood products such as fish sticks, fish paste, caviar, and tinned tuna, salmon, sardines, etc. It'd also be nice if there was a grocery store shell or market stall, where these items could be purchased and consumed. The items can be crafted with optional ingredients to reduce crafting cost. New carpenter career and sawmill career venue. This career would come with a new skill, woodworking (which I believe should be separate from handiness) and allow sims to make craftable and functional furniture (actual upholstered furniture) in various styles (modern, victorian, rustic, etc) and the furniture is sellable (like any crafted object). As the sim is promoted to new levels, they can unlock more crafting recipes. EA should also introduce a logging skill, which allows sims to harvest ingredients from trees such as logs, branches, and bark. Furniture can be crafted with optional ingredients to reduce crafting cost. Alternatively, a sim could become a freelance lumberjack and simply sell tree products on a sales table. New blacksmith career and skill. The blacksmith career would be a historical career and allow sims to craft items on a forge using optional ingredients (metals, etc). Craftable items would include decorative weapons, shields, suits of armor and wearable armor, functional weapons, armor for horses (horse ranch update) so players can have a knight sim and horse companion, weapon and armor racks, etc. The items would be sellable and as the sim is promoted to new levels, they can unlock more recipes. New seamster career and sewing skill. This career would allow sims to craft wearable cas items, functional curtains (with interaction to close/open curtain), throw pillows, blankets, and rugs using a sewing machine. There would also be a historical version to allow sims to craft medieval style cas items, tapestries, and rugs on a loom and it would come with a new weaving skill. EA could also introduce new harvestables: cotton, flax (linen), jute, and silkworms for eco living insect farms. This would allow sims to harvest plant fibers and craft thread/fabric to use as optional ingredients for recipes and reduce crafting cost. Animal husbandry career and animal breeding skill. This career would be a work from home career and function as more of an update for the cottage living and horse ranch packs. It would allow sims to purchase mini animals and shed animals (now with male and female options like the chicken and rooster) and breed them. The breeding process could have 2 options: a rabbithole breeding and birthing interaction or an active breeding and birthing interaction. The second option would require EA to introduce a deluxe animal shed that can house 2 or more animals (like the chicken coop) to allow for the breeding and birthing to take place in the shed. When the offspring is born, they can be placed in an available empty shed or sold. New artisan career, which would be a new freelance career with branches for pottery, stone carving, and glass blowing. The pottery career would come with a new pottery skill and allow sims to craft earthenware and porcelain objects (vases, bowls, plates, tureens, etc) on a pottery wheel/kiln. EA could introduce new collectibles such as red clay and kaolin clay to be used as optional ingredients for recipes and reduce crafting cost. As sims are promoted to new levels, they can unlock more recipes. The stone carving/sculptor career would come with a new stone carving skill and allow sims to craft stoneware objects such as figurines, statues, vases, paperweights, etc using a stone carving workbench. EA could introduce new collectibles such as: marble, granite, and jade to be used as optional ingredients for recipes to reduce crafting cost. The glass blowing career would come with a new glass blowing skill and allow sims to craft glassware using a blowpipe. EA could introduce a new sandstone collectible and also allow sims to collectible sand buckets from sand terrain and island living beaches using a new interaction. The sand bucket/sandstone could be used as optional ingredients for recipes to reduce crafting cost. A new tanner career and tannery career venue. This career would come with a new tanning skill and allow sims to craft wearable leather and fur cas items, decorative items such as satchels, wallets, attache cases (with inventories), fur rugs, etc. Items can be sold, and decorative items would have some functionality. EA could also allow sims to collect animal hides/furs from a new rabbithole hunting interaction. Animal fiber ingredients can be used as optional ingredients for recipes to reduce crafting cost. There would also be an option to craft faux fur and leather items (with their respective optional ingredients) and a humane way to collect animal fibers (if cottage living is installed) by asking befriended rabbits and foxes for animal pelts.Stair railing
Stair railings should be split and editable rather than 'automatically' applied to both sides. Years have passed and these basic updates still... don't happen. I don't understand. Left and right stair railings must be installed separately. I was just designing a house and thought it would be a good idea to give up railings. what's the matter?😩
Feedback on Turn-ons and Turn-offs in Lovestruck
Hi. So the turn-ons and turn-offs (further referred to as TOTO) have been revealed. There are of course some parts I'm happy about and some parts I'm... feeling needs improvement. For those unaware, there are 3 types of TOTOs: Physical- These are based on sim's appearance, thus these are attraction points your sim starts off with. Personality - These are based on sim's traits and skills and affect attraction as soon as they are learned. Romance Styles - These affect what your sim has to do to raise or lower the Romantic Satisfaction. Right now, there are 6 categories. These how they go into those 3 types: Physical includes Hair Color, Outfit Color, and Fashion Personality includes Way of Life and Characteristics Romance Styles includes, well, interactions. Here are feedback on each of the types. I'll use the spoiler tag to make the post easier to navigate: Romance Styles TODOs I have little to give feedback on. Well, besides some selections like public woohoo, private woohoo and kissing. So yeah, again, it's an interesting system I'd like to see expanded further in the future. It could have many customization options to make the game more interesting after all.Things in 2025 I'd like to have

This is a reference to the Dracula from 1979 starring Frank Langella I think it might be cool for evil Vampires to make flowers wilt when they pass by Vampires and Ghosts get a dance animation exclusive to just them. When slow dancing with another Vampire or ghost they will start hovering in midair while doing the dance. Vampires have a favorite Plasma Type Unlockable new Vampire Power - Eclipsing Fog just like Sims 3 Parasols will help to shield a Vampire from the Sun for short periods I would like it if fastidious neat freak Vampires would have an occasional dusting of their coffin & maybe spray something like Febreeze inside it, just for laughs Sims will get the feeling they are being hunted like in Sims 3 If Burglars get introduced Vampires will always attack a Burglar - They always win and when they do, Yum.

Why I understand not ending a game and have more broad games is not bad.Still continue four to be the main sims game is a bad move.This is not me attacking the developers.This is me writing my concerns Sims 4 is over ten years old.The game while good is dated.Players want something new and part of the reason of playing because they were waiting for Sims 5 or a new game.Sooner or later players will get sick of the sims 4.We have already fans getting tired and want something new. This game is limitited.They said they can give us a Sims 5 without replacing and having updates?All I can think of is how?Are the new updates going to switch engines? Are the new game updates are going to get us open world?Dual lots ? No loading screen? Create a style? Create a world?How are the updates going to modernized and keep it not being dated? I remember playing Inzoi demo.How awe I was because of its features and being new?How are you going to top that?What new inventive features are you going bring to the base game? Sooner or latter this game will eventually need to be replace.The Sims 4 does have the foundation to be a forever game.A superhero expansion could be really fresh.
I don't think a game pack could fully do it justice, but I think it could be perfect for a full expansion. It could add a new neighbourhood which has a bit of a 40's/50's city look to it, and adds clothing and furniture in that style as well. But also adds supersims as a new occult lifestate never seen before in the sims series, which has however flirted with the concept in every single game in the form of outfits, tv shows and all that. All supersims have core abilities they all share, and more can be obtained but all those extra abilities come with a drawback. You could give your Sim all of them, but that also means they'd have all the drawbacks. It's always a sensible drawback, like a Sim with super strength breaking everything that can be broken when angry, unable to hold back. A sim with firepowers can't use them in rain or when wet, and they get angry when wet though can clean themselves with a purifying flame if they don't want to shower. A sim with mind control powers could at times get more than they bargain for when reading other sims minds, getting debuffs from seeing awkward memories or other stuff they wish they didn't know about. Most of the extra powers could also be obtained through tech that can be constructed, so Sims could also be a powerless hero using technology. Technology would have the downside of requiring maintenance otherwise it might break if used with a negative effect. Like a sim's mind controll thing blowing up could randomise their own personality traits, and the thing giving fire powers could put them on fire. A new costume category would be added to the game, which can be used recreationally or as a superhero or villain costume. The technology to use powers could be exclusive to the costume, your sim can't do it in other outfits. There would be plenty of new costumes to match, but everything already in the game that fits the theme of costume would show up here too. Unique to the costume is that you Sim is named by an Alias if wearing it. For example if Clark Kent wears it, he's Superman and will be referenced as Superman in all instances. But if his identity becomes known, he'd show up as Clark kent, Superman when wearing it, showing the player it's no secret. That would mainly matter for sims in the new active superhero or super villain career though, drawing all kinds of attention they might not want, though depending on traits they may not mind. But any Sim could use the costume in other ways, like a father dressing up as Santa and his kids believing it if the secret identity is kept. There would be self employed super hero or villain work which would be a rabbit hole thing. The hero can at any time disappear a while to fight crime. Could be combined with a career. They work on their own hours. But there's also two new active careers where your Sim is part of either a team of heroes or a team of villains. Each has headquarters where other heroes or villains hang out and work on projects, train and all that, and might also disappear briefly during their time there to fight crime as a rabbit hole thing. Not all would be rabbit hole stuff though, You could have Sims fight in a new superhero brawl option. Can be for friendly sparring, but also a battle that ends with the loser being captured and jailed for a few days until they escape. And the powers can be used in all kinds of ways, like a Super strong Sim could lift all kinds of stuff to show off, including other sims. A sim with ice powers could also use it for sculptures or creating furniture from it, or keeping their home covered in snow during any season. A sim with mind control powers can make other sims do stuff, but can also learn their secrets. A sim who can fly can show off, can also go explore space and have adventures similar to the rocket adventures, bringing back items and maybe discovering the alien world. Just saying it has a lot of potential. Could also be fun to see a super sim try to keep it a secret while being a family person. Or maybe the seemingly sweet home maker mother having an evil lair under the house that she tries to keep her children out of and her clueless husband could just be off to his day job. It also offers room for children playing superheroes, wanting their autograph, admiring a specific hero, being scared of a villain or liking a villain if they have the mean or evil trait. Especially geek sims could geek out over seeing a hero or villain.Medieval themed game pack
Some players are familiar with the sims medieval, part of the sims franchise. Other players have never played the sims medieval but may have installed TSM to TS4 conversions of mods and custom content. There are many players who enjoy historical themed gameplay. The get together, get famous, and vampire packs added some medieval style CAS and build mode items. Windenberg has a tudor style architecture. However, there is no pack that provides genuine historically accurate gameplay. These are my suggestions for a historically accurate medieval themed game pack. Add a new residential world that is free of all modern technology and is completely off the grid. That means no electricity, no computers, no cars, no televisions, and no cellphones. The world will feature items powered by natural gas, wood, coal, steam - engines, windmills, watermills, candles, and a new energy crystal collectible and crystal powered generator. Add new drive by animations to neighborhoods in the medieval world such as steam - powered trains, stagecoaches, and riders on horseback (no cars, trolleys, and subway trains). Sims will be able to access map travel menus via antique style bicycles (DU), horses (HR), stagecoach kiosks (BG) which will be available on all community lots, and from mailboxes available on any residential lot. In the new world, gas station and airport landmarks will be replaced with train station and stagecoach landmarks. Wind turbine landmarks will be replaced with windmill and watermill landmarks. Players will have the option to disable the phone UI menu and instead access these features from mailboxes and new IU objects. Examples include accessing social interactions on rotary and antique phones, telegraph machines, stationary objects (no computers), post office shells, and carrier pigeon kiosks. Add new medieval themed CAS items, build mode items, activities and workout equipment, and cooking recipes and drinks. Add an option in the setting menu that allows player to enable historically accurate career outfit replacements for NPCs and active careers. Add an option in the settings menu for players to enable historically accurate object replacements such as mail/bills, gifts, packages, spray bottles, mops, lighters, bug spray, etc. Add a new interaction to trees to allow sims to chow them down with an axe and collect firewood. The firewood is a required ingredient for lighting wood burning stoves, fireplaces, campfires, bonfires, grills, and any other historically accurate appliance. Dig sites will now spawn coal and energy crystals (alternative fuel sources). Add a new community bulletin board UI object, that can be placed on community lots, and allows sims to access certain UI menus. Features include finding/quitting jobs, purchasing businesses, moving/splitting household, planning vacations, posting ads for roommates, businesses, and lost pets, volunteering, donating to charity, writing to penpals, and browsing plopsy for sell flyers. Instead of sims receiving calls and texts for event notifications and club invites, they will receive letters and flyers in the mail or can check community bulletin boards for event notification flyers. Sims can purchase newspapers to learn view neighborhood story updates, see the weather forecast, read about local news, and read obituaries. Add an orphanage interactive shell, that sims can use to adopt children, pets, and rescue horses. It can also be used to place household pets up for adoption. Add more functionality to the friendly conversation menus. Information that would normally be found on a sim's social media timeline and via various phone apps can be learned by selecting options in the menus for gossip, interests, hobbies, and small talk. Sims can plan social events, wedding events, stayover events, and hangout events by using interactions available on mailboxes, post office shells, carrier pigeon kiosks, community bulletin boards, and a new decor item the "wooden box of invitations." Add a farmer's market interactive shell (that functions similarly to the chestnut ridge general store), where sims can purchase livestock animals, trade their livestock for meat, seeds, and ingredients (instead of waiting for them to arrive in the mail), sell livestock and horses, enter horse competitions, and purchase groceries (similar to the cottage living kiosks). Add a new social class system complete with new CAS traits, aspirations, preferences, lot traits, and lot challenges, whims, reward store traits, wants and fears, sentiments, and lifestyles. Sims will have access to certain interactions and receive various reactions and responses from NPCs based on their social status. A sim's social status can increase, or decrease based on their actions, lot value, household funds, and fame (if get famous is installed). The medieval pack will have cross compatibility with eco living and for rent. Windmill, watermill, crystal powered generator, and steam - engine objects will functional similarly to eco living wind turbines, dew collectors, power generators, and atmospheric condensers. Water mills and crystal powered generators will functional similarly to for rent water heaters and fuse boxes. Sims can access eco lifestyle features on a new historically accurate community voting board. Sims can still make juice fizz on a new historically accurate juice fizzing distillery, recycle using a new historically accurate recycling apparatus, and use a new historically accurate fabricator workbench. The medieval pack will also have cross compatibility with discover university. Students can attend university with new historically accurate university objects, join historically accurate clubs and sports teams, and attend historically accurate social events. In order to maintain continuity, there will be a new community venue type, community college. This will allow players to make a customizable university lot in the medieval world instead of having sims travel to Britechester. NPC professors will spawn on the lot and hold lectors at a podium object. Students can attend rabbithole skill classes, office hours, tutoring sessions, and sporting events using new historically accurate UI objects. Students will give presentations on historically accurate presentation boards, write term papers of stationary objects, receive a parchment style degree (accessible via a toggle function in the settings menu), participate in new historically accurate clubs and sports (cricket team and literature club). The research and debate skill will function normally and sims will have access to a new historically accurate debate podium and research archives (encyclopedia book object). There will be a new historically accurate cafeteria station and historically accurate juice keg (mead/juice barrel). Sims can play ping pong on wooden pin pong tables and play juice pong with tankards of mead/juice. The robotics skill and career will function normally, but with new historically accurate objects. Sims can craft robots and servos on a new historically accurate robotics crafting workbench. Robots and servos will need to be recharged using energy crystals instead of electricity. Players will have the option to toggle off the computer engineer branch (via the settings menu) and instead enable a new career branch, steampunk engineer. This branch will consist of crafting steam engines and crystal powered generators at a new historically accurate workbench and drafting designs and creating new modules to add upgrades to steam engines and crystal powered generators. The medieval pack will have cross compatibility with get to work. Sims can own retail stores and ring up customers at a new historically accurate coin purse register. Sims can bake cupcakes on a new historically accurate wood burning baker's station. Sims can enter the scientist career and make inventions with new historically accurate lab equipment. Sims can enter the detective career and conduct investigations using new historically accurate forensic equipment. Sims can enter the doctor career and treat patients with new historically accurate hospital equipment. The medieval pack will have cross compatibility with high school years. Sims can attend high school with new historically accurate school items, join historically accurate after school activities, and attend historically accurate school events. Students can join the fencing club, swim team, and archery cub. Students can attend the school fete event, complete with historical activities such as bobbing for apples, coconut toss, knife throwing, and tug of war. Students can attend a school dance (instead of prom). Historically accurate school items include chalkboards (instead of whiteboards), antique photo studio (instead of photobooth), bell (instead of loudspeaker), historically accurate cafeteria station, storage cupboard (instead of locker), gramophone stereo, and mead/juice cask (instead of drink fountain). Add new historically accurate items for compatibility with various packs such as espresso machines and grinders, drink trays, pool ladders, rope ladders, playground equipment, spa equipment, pet items, and off the grid kitchen appliances such as brick ovens for making pizzas, whisks for making prepped ingredients, an ice cream churn for making ice cream, a stove top waffle iron, stoneware cookpot (pressure cooker replacement), teapots and coffee pots, and a stovetop popcorn popper. Get famous added sword fighting via the dueling stage. However, the medieval pack should come with a genuine sword fighting skill that allows sims to train in and learn various sword fighting styles, duel with other sims, challenge sims to duel to the death, create sword fighting clubs, and craft swords via a new skill, blacksmith. The blacksmith skill will allow sims to use a forge to craft various swords, armor, shields, functional weapons (mace, lance, spear, etc), and other items and decor. Crafted items can be sold in the usual means (retail store, plopsy, sales table, from inventory). Sims can also train and duel with new master swordsman NPCs. Weapons can be used to attack sims via mean/mischief interaction menus. Armor and shields can be worn by sims and will protect them from taking damage. Lances can be used by sims for a new activity, jousting. Jousting will allow sims to duel on horseback, when a lance is equipped, in a special dueling arena. Jousting will use the fitness skill. Jousting battles can result in injury or death if sims don't have a high enough fitness skill rank and isn't wearing protective armor. Horses may also be injured or killed in jousting matches if they aren't equipped with protective armor. The pack will also include new weapon and armor racks for display weapons and armor when they are nor equipped.expand upon culinary skills and career
I created a similar topic in the old forum website. It wasn't carried over. This topic will have the same premise, but with new suggestions and better explanations, I really think EA should've expanded upon the culinary skills and career by now. Especially after the release of the cottage living, cool kitchen, and home chef packs, I would've expected more integration of the ingredient system and free updates to improve the cooking experience. Currently, culinary skills consist of homestyle, gourmet, baking, and mixology skills and the culinary career has 2 branches: the chef and bartender branch. Players can grow harvestables and raise livestock in order to obtain ingredients for cooking or sell them to make money. Players can join the culinary career, run a food stall, purchase a restaurant, or create a bakery using the get to work retail system. These features are nice, and players enjoy them, However, there is a lack of attention to detail when it comes to cooking related gameplay. Several modders have created mods for adding more realism to cooking and custom recipes. Not everyone uses mods and thus EA should release an update to improve gameplay related to cooking. Here are my top suggestions: Add cafes and bars to the ownable business menu and allow sims to earn money while tending espresso and professional bars. This will give players more flexibility with culinary related careers. If they don't want to join the culinary career or dedicate themselves to gardening and animal husbandry, they can earn money by owning cafes and bars (like with dine out restaurants) or by tending bars (like with home chef food sales tables). Add a barista skill and barista branch to the culinary career. The barista skill will function similarly to the mixology skill. Players can learn to craft drinks on the espresso bar using the barista skill. Increasing skill proficiency will unlock recipes and improve drink quality. There should also be a new coffee bean harvestable to allow sims to grow coffee beans, craft coffee grounds, and make various coffee blends. Fresh coffee ingredients can then be used to craft drinks on the coffee and espresso machines. Add a baker branch to the culinary career and a caterer branch to the freelancer career. The current chef branch focuses on gourmet and homestyle skills (since it's a base game career) and there has been no integration of the baking skill that came with get to work. I noticed that when sims prepare certain group meals, they can click on the plate and select "fulfill order." This allows them to sell the dish immediately for some simoleons. This gave me the idea that there should be a caterer branch for the freelancer career. Players can look for gigs and make orders (similar to eco living maker career). It will function more leisurely in comparison to the culinary career, but not require a large investment like when buying a retail store or restaurant. Add a tea leaf harvestable and allow sims to cure tea leaves and craft tea blends. Fresh tea ingredients can be used to craft drinks on the tea maker and electric kettle. There should also be a tea ceremony event, since tea drinking is a big part of many cultures. I also think EA should release a Japanese style tea pot that functions off the grid and make several of the deco tea pots included in packs like courtyard oasis and for rent functional. Since there are already a few matcha flavored recipes in the game, EA should add a craftable matcha powder ingredient. Add new recipes for the chocoberry, a chocolatier skill, and candy making appliance/factory. New recipes would include a variety of hot chocolate drinks, chocolate desserts, and candies. There would also be new cooking animations showing sims tempering chocolate on the counter. Add more baking recipes and recipe flavors. For the most part, baking recipes consist of cupcakes and pastries from get to work and various pies from cottage living. There should be more variety in baking skill recipes, including cultural recipes. Add more seafood and meat recipes. Meat can be obtained by raising livestock, eco living meat wall, and fishing. Firstly, the meat wall is locked to a specific career in eco living. This is a bit disappointing. Players with vegetarian sims, should be able to create meats walls whenever they want and craft recipes that use faux meat. Secondly, werewolves introduced cold cuts. I think any sim should be able to turn wrapped meat into cold cuts. I'd also like to see new sandwich recipes that use cold cuts, bread, and cheese as ingredients and a larger variety of recipes using fish, meat, and faux meat ingredients. Reduce the crafting cost of juice fizz. I make this suggestion, because making juice fizz requires a large investment (gardening, fizzing station, and crafting cost). After loading ingredients, the crafting cost is still 52 simoleons. If you are not selling via the maker career and instead want to have a juice fizz retail store or put juice fizz on a restaurant menu, it's not really profitable. Add more serving options for pet food recipes. When crafting pet food, you can only craft 1 serving at a time. Also, the sim immediately puts the plate down for the pet to eat. Unlike when cooking a normal meal, the sims can't put the plate away. I'd like to be able to cook a multi - serving pet recipe and have the option to put it away for later or grab servings as desired to feed to pets. I'd also like to craft treats for cats and dogs using the cooking still. Not all players will want to invest in the craft o matic and learn the veterinary skill. Add more cooking recipes for infants and toddlers. There are so few options to feed infants and toddlers and if you have growing together, infants seem to always have the picky eater quirk. Sims can only feed a bottle (presumably of milk) to infants. I think sims should be able to craft bottles of milk and juice and purees for infants and toddlers using harvestables and flavored milk from cows/mini goats. Infants should also be more likely to eat if it's not a bottle of plain milk.
