World index
I guess we got the same amount of worlds in our index - colored or grey, but I wonder if there is a way to ad just the size of those icons? In my index, Tomarang is not visible unless I scroll, which I tend to forget. So, I rarely play in that word simply because there are other worlds grabbing my attention first. I'd prefer slightly smaller icons s that all would fit on one screen without the scrolling. Maybe it's more about monitor settings than the game...? Everything else is perfectly sized.
What happened in your game today?
Hi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the new forum so far. I know I am!! I'm Charla, a big fan of The Sims 4! ☺️ I was going to join on the old one, but, as it only had a week left I decided to wait until today. I loved lurking on the what happened in your game today thread so I thought would create a new one here. So what's happened in your game today? Today in my game I was playing as a character I created, Lauren Lord. She's an young adult, who dreams of being an author and a mom. Currently she's working as a school teacher, but today she had no work, she stayed at home and played chess and tended to her plants (when it wasn't raining!). I also made this new Sim :) hope the pic works! Look forward to seeing what's happening in your games. XThe Sims 4 On Social Media
Some of you may recall I started the Sim Gurus On Twitter thread in 2018 and passed the torch to Duvelina in 2020. She has informed me that she hasn't been including tweets from the official The Sims Twitter (X) so I thought I'd start a thread for info from The Sims. Twitter (X), Facebook, and Instagram. Also info from EA when it relates to TS4. If you're interested you can also check out my announcement threads for The Sims Mobile and The Sims Freeplay.

September Patch Speculation 2024 (Tomorrow Is Patch Day)
Normally I don't post this far beyond for A Patch but next month we have the 10th Anniversary of The Sims 4 plus most likely a big bug fix as they happen every 2 months now. I don't think we re going to see much in August except maybe one or two more emergency patches. September is what I'm excited for with the 10th Anniversary. I'm hoping we finally see the pool slide return and maybe the iconic heart hottub since it was missed in Lovestruck. Surely the Sims Team will do something big for the 10th Anniversary.
Sims 4 Ideas Feedback
I like playing the Sims 4 on my down time so much really feeling the updates excited to see even more. Few ideas I had for expansion packs Have an option to see the Sims drive to work and do different tasks at work with them. More job options run for mayor governor or president gain respect and votes by getting involved in the community. Retail work smoothie place micro blade nail tech construction worker astronaut plumber etc. An option to buy an expansion pack to play live game with online players. Different places to woohoo not just the bed or hot tub. Be able to put an ad online for renting a room. Get a roommate to help with the rent. But we are not responsible for their needs they aren't included on the dashboard. Make an option for a sim to be more independent, they will complain they feel controlled not able to do stuff on their own but almost pee on themselves because they can't take themselves to the bathroom. Have a pet sitter option Nannies and maids that actually help and stay the whole day not just a few minutes. More face makeup and hair options Ability to change height Amusement and water parks Option to celebrate holidays and traditional events like quinceanera sweet 16 Indian Asian traditions etc. Be able to go to the mall and shop Different weather rain storm hurricane tornado snow tsunami super hot and you can buy a or heater Pov option More friendly conversation and insult options Be able to go to the salon or barber shop Lastly an option to require a passcode to enter someone's game. I have roommates that are nosey I don't want them even seeing what I do on my Sims account when I'm gone I tell them barely anything. I play on Xbox to the no life's commenting below.

Do you ever capture pictures from fun or awkward situations in your game?

Your solution turned out to be unpractical. Are you sure I can't have a ponytail, without the horse?
The Sims 4 Ideas (2024)
Trait System Make it two types of traits: Zodiac Traits and the traits in the current game. The Zodiac Traits can be further divided into three parts, please refer to here. Society System Make it three stages of societies: Present Society, Future Society, Ancient Society. Each stage of society matches and restricts its own society functions, clothing styles, goods, house styles and occupations, etc. After every 112 days, the game changes the stage of current society automatically and cycles infinitely. Building System Add half-tile walls and platforms, walls and platforms with a height of 0.125 times, walls and platforms hanging down from the ceiling, buildable prominent window sills, vertical sloping walls and platforms (22.5 degrees per rotation), rain gutters, cabinets for ancestral tablets, more single-tile sliding doors and functions of rotating objects horizontally and vertically in a discontinuous manner (22.5 degrees per rotation). CAS System Make it a discontinuous voice slider (mid-value can be taken). Add more interpersonal titles in family tree, such as uncle, aunt, cousin, father-in-law, brother-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, etc. Others Make players cannot switch Sims easily after entering a household. Cancel asking players, make us must go to work and school personally with the currently controlled Sim. Cancel the outline around the Sim when the mouse pointer points to a Sim. Make it no longer cause mutual penetration and superposition between Sims. For the ideas of The Sims 5, please refer to here.About the free update coming
One of the tarrot cards in the roadmap video shows 4 existing worlds, one in each corner of the card. Most likely they are Sulani, Mt. Komorebi, StrangerVille and Forgotten Hollow. My wet dream is that we will get a new hood added to each of them, but I realize that might not happen:) I tried to find a connection to these 4 worlds from the themes of the roadmap, and i end up with DEATH being what most of them have in common. Sulani has irts old spirits, and maybe something new will be added to that feature, or the feature gets reused in all worlds. In Mt. Komorebi we have a new sort of gravestones where we can offer andf decorate by placing something on the grave - I'd not be surprised if this is a feature that will now be accessible in any world. In Forgotten Hollow the Straud Mansion certainly has plenty of graves, and there is also the big statue. I'm so hoping for a new statue feature (creating a statue in CAS to honor a specific sim?), and a way to leave small decor on the statue being a floral wreath or a candle oir single flower etc. Not sure if vampirism will have any connection to Death and Grim, but if so there might be other reasons for this world to be listed. Maybe it is about a benefit affecting a vampire's life length? Final world, StrangerVille is harder for me to link to the new EP. I never played the full mother plant story, is death playin a bigger role than I'm aware of? Or maybe the posession state will get a twist related to zombies? No matter what, I'm convinced most of these free updates will be related to the Life&Death pack, so we should see the patch late October :) Anyone?Giveaway: Storybook Nursery

What if Wheelchairs and disabilities were added in sims?
I had a thought (as I am sure many other simmers have had this thought) that what if the sims franchise added disabilities, for example... We can choose if we want our sim to be physically disabled, unable to walk (unless they get physical therapy). But work on the mechanics of the sim doing the animations on how they would go to the bathroom or get in bed. If we wanted our disabled sim to eat at the table, they could roll up in a wheelchair to the table where there isn't a dining chair, and they can just eat there or wherever you would want your sim to eat. There can be special build items that disabled sims can use; if they wanted to practice the piano, there can be an item specifically for that sim, OR the gamer could have the option in build mode to move the piano bench into the household inventory, that way the disabled sim can roll right up and 'tickle the ivories'. In build mode, if a gamer wanted their disabled sim to go swimming, or at least enjoy partaking in the pool(s) there can be an item in build mode for that too. Or if they need to go to bed, there is an item that the sim can use to hoist themselves into (and out of) the bed and sleep. And they could use those items to help build their fitness skill. If they live in a house that has a foundation, there should be ramps! it can be an added build item like the stairs and ladders. Now it shouldn't JUST be about the wheelchair, but there can be other disabilities too! for example. a sim could be born disabled. a sim could have gotten into an accident and got injured. (High chance of survival of course) those who are born disabled, (which would depend on a small percentage chance like say...10%) could either be in a wheelchair or born without a limb. you could also create the sim's disabilities; they could also have prosthetics. The sims can also do physical therapy which can also increase the fitness skill! Especially if they are in a wheelchair. There is probably a mod out there that has that. But it would be so much better if it was in-game. I recommend the disabilities be a Game Pack instead of an Expansion. Mostly cause the disabilities wouldn't need a whole different world...or would it? But I think it would be super cool and maybe a little fun if our sims had physical disabilities in the game.
A few suggestions about Kits
So many people dislike kits because they think that what you get isn't worth the money. Here are my suggestions on pack smaller than stuff packs that would have enough to it I think would be worth it to some folks. You will notice that I didn't follow the rules here. I put what I thought would make a kit good. Japanese Steakhouse - I'm going to be honest I know this one would have a bit more limited appeal because it's meant to give more life to Dine Out. But this idea has a two-fold purpose. If EA thought they could make a ton more money on a kit that is meant to work with Dine Out they might actually concentrate on fixing Dine Out. Secondly if they did do exactly that the people who buy this and have Dine Out & Snowy Escape they could make some pretty fair restaurants in that zone which would improve Snowy Escape as well. Hibachi Cook Top & Recipes - That WILL work with Dine Out if you have it Sushi Counter & Recipes - That WILL work with Dine Out Additional Recipes - Miso Soup, Mango & White Rice, Mochi Ice Cream Buddha of Commerce Booth Seat, Chair & Barstool 4 Top Dining Table, 6 Top Dining Table Pendant Light for over the Hibachi & Matching Wall Light Front Door with Japanese Steakhouse Decal Signage Hibachi/Sushi Chef Uniform Host/Server Uniform Classic Conservatory Kit - Aesthetically similar to the Sims 3 Store Green house https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4BqvpsyC3Y&t=2700s Build pieces that can help you make an Orangery, Grand Community Conservatory, Indoor pool room, or a beautiful Sunroom Composter Additional Harvestables Celery (Base Game Update) Orange Tree (Base Game Update) Orchids in several varieties Poinsettia in their various colors Rosemary (Base Game Update) Tulips in several varieties Screen Porch Kit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-23ZX_9tkY Screen Porch Panels in both intact and damaged versions Screen Door in both intact and damaged versions. Must have the screen door sound Porch Swing that actually swings a couple of overhead fan styles and they MUST oscillate and have a light New doormat styles New Patio furniture style - Rattan with Cushions Sectional Outdoor Sofa Lounge Chair Coffee Table & End Table Outdoor rug in colors that match the new patio furniture Readable Thermometer
The screenshot spammers thread, v2.0
My apologies for starting a new spammers thread, but the old one is not very user-friendly on the new forums. Plus, it's in the sims franchise discussion section--not sure what that's about. Anyways, for those that are new to this thread, the rules are simple; post as many screenshots as you want, while limiting the dialogue to what's going on in the shot, or the reason for the shot New forum, new screenshot spammers thread--let's rock it 😃
Unpopular Opinions - Likes Kits
I like most kits & not afraid to say that. My favorite Kits are: Riviera Costa, Cozy Bistro, Castle, Country Kitchen, Oasis Courtyard, Fashion Street, Decor to the Max, Little Campers, Modern Luxe, Pop Party, Pastel, Midnight Chic, Goth & Urban. The Kits that are handy are: Poolside, Simintimates, Grunge & Bathroom. As for the others, they're just ok. The only one Kit that's not good is the Bust the Dust. Any other simmers that likes kits?
1 year later Feedback Horse Pack
After a year finally bought today the EP for Horses. Well, I have to admit, I made the right decision to wait and purchase it later, and here are the reasons why: While Horses and Chestnut Ridge initially promised a captivating equestrian experience, it ultimately falls short of its potential. As someone who isn't deeply invested in horse culture, I purchased this expansion pack primarily for storytelling purposes. However, at its full price, the gameplay content simply doesn't justify the cost in my opinion, and that's why I waited. 😅 The Western theme, while perhaps appealing to some, didn't resonate with me. 🙃 I envisioned a more modern and elegant setting, perhaps inspired by the Hamptons or the world of equestrian competitions. A suburban landscape with vineyards would have created a more affluent and competitive atmosphere, aligning with a golf club (gameplay) feeling and the equestrian old-money aesthetic.😍 I guess it's too late for that now, but maybe for another pack it could still come, right? The world map itself, while visually appealing, felt somewhat generic and reminiscent of previous packs like Strangerville or Oasis Springs. The center reminds me of the ghost town movies where a bunch of hays is rolling and nobody is around. Spooky! 🤣For my taste, a greener, more picturesque environment would have better complemented the equestrian theme. While I appreciate the nectar-making skill and a few individual items, the overall aesthetic leans heavily toward the Western/Cowboy style. Not very much a versatile expansion pack in my eyes. The horses themselves are beautifully rendered, but the high-pitched sound they emit is a minor annoyance. Additionally, the build-buy items primarily cater to the Western theme, limiting their usefulness in other builds and in combination with other packs. After only 30 min. of gameplay, I'm already bored and glad I didn't purchase it at full price as I would have been highly disappointed. In conclusion, Chestnut Ridge had the potential to be a truly exceptional expansion pack. However, its missed opportunities in terms of setting, theme, and gameplay ultimately leave it feeling somewhat underwhelming. Just a couple of thoughts I wanted to express and see how others view this pack after a year. How do you guys view this pack after a year - are you still playing it actively? I think I won't be much in Chestnut Ridge, lol.If you want to sell a Kit or Stuff Pack for Christmas next year I would buy it BUT…..

I loved Forgotten Hollow appearance-wise, but it's so small and boring that I never use it. I really would like a world with a similar eerie vibe but that is maybe the size of Tastosa with trails like San sequoia or komorebi has. The world could include the following: 1. The trails are in a darkened lush forest, which can have certain moodlets and reactions from sims, and at night.. well thats when you want to not be alone on the trails! maybe random sim ghosts pop up to scare you or you hear sounds/feel breezes (via moodlets) and maybe sims autonomously hold out a flashlight as they walk (similar to San Sequoia with the food/water breaks) and the trail can lead to like some kind of national park or something (with a loading screen of course haha) 2. A new carnival or haunted fairground lot type. (heck, maybe this could be for a carnivals pack!!) And there is a rabbithole funhouse but everything else is not, such as carnival games like balloon darts and other kinds, cotton candy machine, carnival foods stand, a ticket booth to collect prizes from games, and maybe bring back bobbing for apple, face paint booth and the carousel from TS3? 3. If a carnival pack, it could offer a new WFH/rabbithole or freelance career as maybe a face painter or something lol Idk, I know this is not likely, but the world theme itself I think is possible and is needed. TS4 is too bubbly in almost every town you travel to. I would like some creepy small town vibes with actual eerieness! I miss the vibes from The Sims 1 and 2.

Since this has come up on the Sims Freeplay please allow me to wade into the water and give my suggestions how Vehicles can be introduced to the Sims 4 in a way that will slightly make up for its lack of an open world.

A GLITCH TURNED INTO A STORYLINE
So yes! I'm five years behind playing Strangerville. This year alone, is when I really started added the packs. Simply because I had to start playing with my ps4 because my custom computer finally crashed. It did me justice. Moment of silence. Any whoooo, Yesterday, I decided to play with Strangerville. It's getting closer to spooky season lol. Well, I developed a whole story line where the female is the protagonist and lives off into the sunset. Oh, how the tides have turned. You see, I designed the perfect college student. She would go off to Britchester, major in psychology and become a professor. Now over the time of creating her, studying with her, making friends and forming her own little style....I became truly invested in her. My fav so far, and that says a lot. During her college years, she became heavily dedicated to wellness. So much so, she stayed at the spas on her free time. To the point I changed her aspiration to wellness. Then she began to teach classes, maintain her zen, and had the shape for clothes that not ANY of my other sims could pull off. She's a chef's kiss. One night at a party, she meets a guy, likes the guy, and a relationship blossomed. He showed up to her graduation and took her on a vacation as a grad present. After she started establishing herself with her career, she was finally able to have a nice nest egg. She was getting promotions left and right. She didn't have an issue with her man's job, but didn't see how it could coincide with her timeline of living on a tropical island. You see, he was in the military career. And without a college education, she felt he would take longer than she had hoped for. She already knew guys that where in the fortune 500 league by now. So this was a gamble for her, but she did love him. HERE'S THE TWIST! Yes, he was in the military career but he was practically a ghost. Meaning he came in, settled situations, and vanished. He owned homes in three locations and Sulani was one of them. So when he decided to take her again...he wanted to propose. He hated lying to her but it was inevitable. So while on their romantic weekend, he set up a studio at the house so she could teach yoga classes. She was so amazed. And when she wasn't doing that, she showed him just how thankful she was. But after returning home she began to feel sick and couldn't hold anything down. She was pregnant! What was she going to do? She was at the pinnacle of her career and yoga was her baby. After some thought she told her lover the news. He was quiet, almost solemn but came around fast. So much so, he married her before she started to show and threw a baby shower not to long after that. Only thing that was eating him up inside was the fact of the huge mission in Strangerville that he just got assigned to. You see, none of the personnel knew his ghost persona so he would have to ride the ranks just like everyone else. Which didn't bother him...that was light work. What wasn't lightwork was now having two weaknesses if things went South. His wife and child. If they were caught up in this, he wouldn't make it through. Several months later, he and his lovely wife were settled into Strangerville. They purchased a nice fix her upper and she only had to travel to Britchester once a week. What she didn't know...he picked this house for a reason. While she traveled to give lectures, he was busy making a bunker during his down time. It was complete with two bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, small dining room and bathroom. A whole house on the bottom. And room for their future baby to be quite comfy when the time came. But as the pregnancy went on she became more tense, irritated, and mean. He thought that it was the pregnancy and not having time to slow down since college. But she assured him that she was very content on how things were moving, but she didn't act like it. A couple months later a beautiful baby girl was added to the family. And you could tell she was the apple of her father's eye. Of course her mom loved her but she was quite distant. It didn't help that one week before her delivery, he had to tell her about the bunker and orders had came down that Strangerville was about to get shook on it's head. Weirdly, she didn't seem fearful or anxious, almost relieved. That reaction made him feel relieved but a little suspicious. So he had taken wire taps and bugged her conversations a couple of times. Neither findings made no sense. Both talked about money and not to worry where it came from and who it would hurt. These words coming out of his wife's mouth! Now more than ever he was ready to begin and end this mission so he could finally know what was up with his wife. As you can imagine the day of going out into the field was heavy tension. She didn't kiss him, assure him, nor act like it was bothering her. This was not the woman he married. But what did give him strength was spending the day with his sweet little girl. He fed her, gave her a bath, played tummy time, read her a book, and she silently fell asleep on his chest. In the doorway his wife looked on like it was just another day. While he was out getting intel, he noticed people acting weird, not able to talk coherently, moving their limbs in ways they were not to be moved. He broke protocol and dashed home. He burst through the door and noticed little spores glistening and floating through the house. He called out for his wife, his child...no response. Sweating profusely he ran down into the bunker...empty. Leaping three steps at a time, he made it back up to the top of the stairs and heard a faint noise. A noise he knew all to well....a sound of relaxation. He barged open the bathroom door and there lie his wife, soaking in a warm lavender bath. "Where's the baby?!" She looked slowly up at him as if he was out of line. "Why aren't you guys in the bunker?!" She simply said, "What for?" He demanded that she tell him where his baby was. All of a sudden he heard a faint cry. NOW THIS IS WHERE THE SIMS 4 GLITCH COMES IN BUT WORKED SO PERFECTLY TO MY STORYLINE. AS I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS A THING. I scanned the cursor on the baby's picture and she was all the way down the street with pink pores surrounding her as she screamed inhumanely. Her needs were all drained and she was sweltering! I put the game in first person mode and had dad run as fast as he could to his daughter. He picked her up and cradled her to his chest. You could hear his harsh breathing all the while passing weird strange people. Smiling wildly, flailing back and forth with no inhibitions about anything. Could they hurt you? Have they touched his child? He rushed down into the bunker; fed her, gave her a bath, soothed and comforted her until she fell asleep in daddy's arms. All the while, Mom is preparing herself something to eat. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS? THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO TELL IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR IT. TRUST ME, IT'S GOOD! MY NAME IS NIKKI AND I LOVE THE SIMS AND I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME TO SHARE MY STORYTELLING🥰We need a hospital and GP expansion pack!
We need a pack or road map where we can visit the hospital or gp office if they become sick not just when having a baby! Also have plots to make houses in the same town! This would be amazing and useful for careers..... who else thinks this should be a thing?Just a couple of requests for Christmas Updates

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!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.💡 Ideas > ♻️ Content from The Sims franchise

Achievements in Game, but not on steam?
I have played all the sims games over the years, from when it was Maxis to these days where the Sims 4 free to play! It did however take me a while to play the sims 4 for one silly tiny reason. I like 'complete' stuff, to have a goal in mind when I start a sandbox type game. Whilst I've enjoyed about 30 hours of gameplay building my real life house and family and building it up until we're millionaires in a mansion version of my property. I kind of got bored and didn't really know what else to explore. With many other games, once i've tired of the original gameplay, I got into completion mode, I explore the game via the way of achievements. I noticed the other day that the game has acheivements and these may well be tied to Origin, but they are not tied to steam. I personally think I would spend a lot more time in game and possibly on DLC if I had more of a reason to. I would love to see the achievement added to steam, it'd also give the chance for people to display more from the Sims on the Steam profiles.Greece & the Cycladic Islands - New World w/Hotels, New Foods & Nectar Making, the Zodiac
This is my Idea for a new vacation/neighborhood where it is possible to purchase a vacation home or stay in a hotel. There is a ton to do and see here. It combines all the features of previous beach zones with some old favorite activities from Past Sims games. If you have Dining out the Taverna should be a restaurant Lot. It also has little bonus unlocks if you have certain other packs. As a small nod to those who want farming packs check out the Olive Groves & Nectaries and Sheep Pastures SCROLL SLOWLY! There is commentary and descriptions I know it's a lot but its worth your time. Overview New Greek Food - For Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Beverages, and Baked Goods New Harvestable Fruits, Veggies & Herbs Composting & Compost Bin Vegetable Stand Butter Churn for Sheep Milk & The Cow's Milk from Country Living New Interests - Nectar Making, Pottery, Sculpture Making, Scuba Diving, Weaving? New Places to use Archeology - Plus Underwater Archeology New Skills - Scuba Diving (Deep Dives, Not Just Snorkeling), Nectar Making, Olive Pressing, Pottery Making, Maybe even Weaving, A case could also be made for Sculpture carving 4 of the 7 Wonders of the World New Woo-hoo spots - Dive Cave & Hammock Adventure Zone with Traps and Treasures like Sims 3 World Adventures from the Labyrinth of the Minotaur Plenty of Site Seeing old ruins like several of the Wonders of the Ancient World, The Island of Delos etc. Island Hopping on Yachts Metal Detecting Souvenir Shopping - Yes shopping local stores and buying things to bring back just like Sims 2 Blessings from the Greek Gods Working Hotels with Room Service & Maid Service and Concierge Service Vacation Homes for Rent or purchase Bakeries Tavernas on the Beach - not shacks New Tattoos The Zodiac Two new unlock-able Breeds for Cats & Dogs Several new wild and local animals types including Raising Sheep and Goats - Because in Greece Lamb is what's for dinner A new standalone Spa Treatment - The Hammam New Lots - Like Olive Grove and Nectar Vineyard, Bakery, Sheep Pastures, Temple Ruins, Souvenir Shop, Dive Zones, and the Agora New Pool Mosaics & Curved Pool edges Painted Ceilings Hammocks, Wood Fire Ovens, Pool Bars, Potter's Wheel, Butter Churn for Sheep's Milk Learning traditional dance and Greek Music Channel Cetus the Kraken & The Minotaur I think the pack should just be filled with Clash of the Titans (1981 it's the better and more quotable movie) references as well as Greek Mythology "A Titan Against a Titan!" - I honestly would love to hear that in Simlish as well as "Release The Kraken!" Map of Mainland Greece, The Cycladic Islands & Crete http://www.sailingissues.com/greekislands/cyclades/cyclades-yacht-charters.png The Climate of the Cycladic Islands Spring, from mid-March to May, is mild and quite sunny, but it's also windy. There are some periods of bad weather which gradually become more rare. Summer, from June to mid-September, is warm and sunny, but also windy. The Meltemi blows for long periods, especially in July and August, and it's stronger in the afternoon, but can insist also in the evening. In some cases, wind gusts may exceed 70 kph (45 mph). Thanks to this wind, the maximum temperature is usually below 30 °C (86 °F), and even in the hottest periods, when in other parts of Greece the temperature can reach or exceed 40 °C (104 °F), here, it does not exceed 34/35 °C (93/95 °F). Autumn, from mid-September to November, is initially warm and sunny, but it gradually becomes cooler and rainier. Autumn too is windy: as long as the weather is nice, the Meltemi still blows, while later, the wind blows along with autumnal depressions. Winter, from December to mid-March, is mild, quite rainy and windy. The wind, frequent and sometimes violent, makes the air feel colder than it actually is. The island is located north enough and close enough to the mainland to receive cold air with some frequency, to the point that there can be cold days, with highs below 10 °C (50 °F), and sometimes even snow can fall. The Cycladic Islands can get Hurricanes but usually lesser ones. Unlockables & Inter-Pack Functions Unlocks I tried to think of little things that could have inter-pack function that could breath new life into older packs as well as flesh out this one. These are all I could think of that would be somewhat seamless. Seasons - Weather - Hot & Dry and Windy Cats & Dogs - Kokoni new dog breed exclusive to this zone. Aegean Cat New Breed for this area Greek Key Pet Collar https://img1.etsystatic.com/018/0/8100590/il_fullxfull.510092019_b7kn.jpg Greek Flag Pet Bowl https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2f/30/32/2f3032a80c4e1d64bcd5346fcd7036c5.jpg Greek Key Pet Bowl - https://rlv.zcache.com/elegant_greek_key_monogram_pet_bowl-r9441fffed1a3421fae9385857af156b3_2iwel_8byvr_307.jpg Greek Temple Inspired Dog House https://static01.nyt.com/images/2012/06/28/garden/28DOG2/28DOG2-jumbo.jpg Dog Bed with the Greek Key Symbol https://i.pinimg.com/originals/61/a2/b2/61a2b2bc8661099c0c7dc42c1a395342.jpg Dining Out - The Taverna - I think this would come in the form of an unlocked Dining Out style restaurant lot that you can sub out for the one that comes standard. Lets say that the Taverna lot that comes standard is just another food stall on a lot and if you have Dining Out you can go into the pre-mades and replace it with the unlocked restaurant. Also all the food from this pack gets added to the list of foods you can put on the Dining Out Menu Island Living & Realm of Magic - Poseidon's Blessing for Spellcasters & Mermaids. Also the Dolphin is Greece's national animal. I also don't see why the crab traps shouldn't work here if you had both packs. Jungle Adventure - New Archeology Zone and underwater archeology Get to work - Bakery is a new own-able lot type. Not to say that this one won't be available in the expansion if you don't have Get to Work just that it won't be own able on other lots like it would be currently if you didn't have GTW. Ground Set Hot Tubs - If you have Hot Tubs which I think we all do now if that last one was a Base Game Update Build items I'd love a bit of architecture from Ancient Greece and the Modern Cyclades Fundamentals of Ancient Geek Architecture https://sites.google.com/site/arth372exhibition/_/rsrc/1520244263808/greek-architecture/Diagram%20of%20a%20Greek%20Temple.jpg http://ancientgreekarchitecturemade.weebly.com/uploads/5/2/5/4/52548257/5936760_orig.gif Doric Columns https://cdn7.dissolve.com/p/D1028_51_005/D1028_51_005_1200.jpg Ionic Columns http://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large/parthenon-ionic-columns-carrie-kouri.jpg Corinthian Columns http://sasgreekart.pbworks.com/f/1228491765/ZeusOlympusPillars.jpg Architecture of the Cycladic Islands Cycladic Stairs Against the bright Blue Sea https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0b/8a/90/0b8a906c82eebe86a2d4d9e7e51c32e7.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/2e/b2/45/2eb245aa0f2167d3f55717425d2f78ea--vacation-villas-vacation-rentals.jpg Gorgeous Walking Street Set against the Aegean Sea http://s1.picswalls.com/wallpapers/2014/07/28/greek-architecture-background_120601364_112.jpg http://blog.greeka.com/wp-content/uploads/folegandros.jpg A Private Home The Windmills https://blog.mykonosvillas.com/images/blogposts/2018/07/Windmills-mykonos-m.jpg Pretty Doorway & Pottery https://www.greeka.com/photos/ionian/architecture/hero/ionian-architecture-2-1280.jpg Archway & Cobblestone Alley http://s1.picswalls.com/wallpapers/2014/07/28/greek-architecture-high-quality-wallpaper_12060257_112.jpg Deep Blue Window Trim & Shutters https://www.greeka.com/blog/uploads/cyclades.jpg https://christinabtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/image2-8-1.jpeg Interior of House Kitchen Area http://decoholic.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/greek_island_7_style_interior_design1.jpg Interior of Home Living Room & Bedroom https://www.busyboo.com/wp-content/uploads/greek-home-design-7.jpg Bathroom https://i.pinimg.com/originals/20/df/6c/20df6caa323df5747aa946901cb4c87a.jpg http://decoholic.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/greek-interior-design-39.jpg Stucco Fireplace https://cdn.trendir.com/wp-content/uploads/old/house-design/assets_c/2014/07/amazing-views-architecture-place-stay-16-dining-thumb-970xauto-45570.jpg https://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large/2-cycladic-architecture-manolis-tsantakis.jpg Mykonos Marina https://sail-la-vie.com/images/locations/Mykonos-Marina-1-Sailing-Mykonos-Cyclades-Greece.jpg Night Time Street Scene http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2ezRJIqgc5I/Th8pGYp3TVI/AAAAAAAAATc/ELACJ_lxGyY/s1600/mykonos-town-at-night-steve-outram.jpg Painted Ceilings https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0d/7c/be/0d7cbe65eb75505a1afc526e8ac26e9a.jpg http://travelphotobase.com/i/IE/IEDPR122.JPG https://c8.alamy.com/comp/F70T8Y/santorini-interior-of-greek-orthodox-cathedral-at-fira-ceiling-painting-F70T8Y.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GUJNJZQoDSA/T-Jthc575pI/AAAAAAAAkbk/nTY-z0ehzGg/s400/blue-ceiling-bedroom.png Maybe some that aren't so Greek http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iaXCimXg7GQ/U2rYrb-OYRI/AAAAAAAAcqQ/cHxSMKFz_JU/s1600/black+coffered+ceiling.jpeg https://inboundmarketingsummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/tin-ceiling-tiles-photo.jpg https://designx.disacode.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Drop-Ceiling-Tiles-Lowes.jpg Building at Home Wine Caves -

Since this would be the first official Full Service Hotel.

The same for College Spring Break. http://thumbs2.modthesims.info/img/3/4/0/6/2/4/MTS2_Fresh-Prince_1033874_Screenshot-397.jpg Vacation Excursions - are off site rabbit hole outings you can arrange with the concierge that sends a Sim and any chosen companions for a set amount of time. The Sims will come back with interesting emotions and needs meters filled or depleted depending upon the activity and whether or not would be interested in such an activity. Taking part in an excursions can result in unique souvenir, discovery or another type of opportunity chance.

unpopular opinions
how it works: you post an unpopular opinion that you have and if you see one that you agree with, you like it to let the person know that they're not the only one (dont like a comment that you don't agree with) ill start: caleb vatore is not hot edit: i completely forgot i made this dicussion and i just came on here to post about the sims 4 university leak but then i saw this dicussion got 7.9k views. dope times we live inPack Idea - Transportation
This has likely been thought out before but I’m going to share a bunch of ideas for a “transportation” pack. Options for transportation, taxi, bus, car, motorcycle, plane, boat. Depending on where you are going these would obviously change but some could have a smaller eco footprint or take longer. I imagine that if a sim took public transportation or had a long ride things would happen along the way (what things I am not sure) also if one transport option takes longer I don’t think you would wait any longer than normal it would just mean that when your sim arrives at the destination the time would have jumped to match the time they were supposed to spend traveling. There could be destinations that are only reachable by plane or boat or maybe even train. Destinations could be like mini worlds with only one or two lots that have monuments or tourist attractions. To visit those destinations you could purchase tickets online or show up at the airport, train station, or boat dock which would be 3 separate lots. At those lots there could be a ticket counter or self-service machine where your sim could see the destination options and purchase a ticket. Cars and motorcycles, I think cars should be base game but could be customized further in this pack. I’m not sure how customization would work, maybe in build mode there is a car option where you can choose a base model and color and then modify or add things like bumper stickers/decals, spoilers, etc. Motorcycles could be the same or just preset options. For some lot and map ideas I think the world could be split by modes of transport. A dock/pier/harbor/port area for the boat dock, maybe a seafood market. A small valley for the train station, maybe a train museum or something or train car diner. Some open plains for the airport, maybe a hotel or rental property. There could also be a downtown with a gas station or something. There’s a lot of room for new jobs and careers here but i’ll just mention some that I think would be fun or could be developed more. Pilots and flight attendants, Sailor/boat captain, train conductor, some sort of engineer could be added as well. In CAS there could be some new traits and aspirations. Sims could want to be a “world traveler” they want to visit as many places as possible, they enjoy any form of travel and get excited when visiting new places - even just a new lot. Traits could be along the lines of fearless or sims could have a fear of certain modes of transport like planes or boats. There could also be “frugal traveler” or “lavish traveler” where sims could want to spend the least money possible on transport and accommodation or they could only fly first class and stay at expensive rentals. That’s all for now on this idea :)Grocery & Garden Stuff or Game Pack
Note to the Devs: Reasons to Make this Pack People LOVE New Recipes People like New Harvestables New Community Lot Types such as Grocery make people happy I have done most of the recipe research work for you Would be a closer and more realistic representation of international recipes than currently Giving the Recipes in Baking a small refresh will please Simmers greatly & make Baking even more attractive for Get to Work. A pack (along with Dining Out & Outdoor Retreat) that Simmers have been asking for a refresh since the concept of Refreshes was introduced. Works well with the recent Cooking Stuff Pack Gives Sims who are earning a living Farming or Fishing a place to sell their goods Another Ownable Community Lot will make Simmers happy A chance to reintroduce the retail radio station from Sims 1 or 2 (I can't remember) The Base Game & EP Updates of meats, a few ingredients and harvestables will be benefit all Simmers, and the Devs themselves when creating new recipes for all food and beverage categories. Opens things up for Juicing with the last few main fruits introduced. Gives a few more possibilities for Nectar making It would be amazing to see Sims 2 level details like NPC butchers handing paper wrapped meat packages to put into a hand basket or Sims leaving the store after paying with Grocery Bags, Personalized and Reusable Please. It would be fun to watch Sims smell Cantaloupe and tap on Watermelon and other such produce inspection techniques Purchasable butter could segue nicely to adding Butter Churns and Compound Butter Recipes Varieties of cheeses could be a nice purchase in the various "vacation areas" like Cheddar in Hensford, Queso Fresco in Jungle Living. You could introduce other kinds of cheeses in new neighborhoods similar to their real world counterpart like Brie from France. Grocery Delivery can still originate from here The two specialty shops would be very cute to run and fun to design. Carrying a hand basket around the store and leaving with a shopping bag Feel free to make this a game pack if you include EVERYTHING listed here Free Base Game Updates - Carefully picked for many recipes across many cuisines regardless of what packs a simmer has. Black Pepper - Spice Cinnamon - Spice Cumin - Spice Ground Clove - Spice Harvestables Celery Lime Tree Orange Tree Oregano Portobello Mushroom Pantry - Sets into the wall like the closet. Single Tile and can be set like any other door. When Door is opened a light will pop on. Is an inventory storage for dry goods and canned items. Ingredients in the pantry will count towards all cooking and baking recipes. Canned Goods Cocoa Powder Flour Spices - either here or on a spice rack Sugar Meats Specified - Listed Below Soy Sauce Spice Rack - A nice object where those bottles of Spices from City Living can be stored.
