1940s Pack

Victory roll hairstyles are just the best. I would so love this.

How about a pack with 1940s elements? House designs, cocktail bars not to mention all those lovely silk gowns for women.

Would buy in a heartbeat! A martini drink tray, maybe a typewriter, a record machine or old radio, some Rosie the Riviter clothes and curly hairstyle, and maybe more objects like the cupcake factory to make more stuff (1940s factories?)

Silk? In the 1940's? I think you have your decades confused. Silk was more common in the 1920's and 30's, by the 40's silk was expensive and rare, and usually replaced by 'art silk' aka artificial silk, aka synthetic silk.

Though, parachute silk was popular for underwear and wedding gowns.

1940's fashion was about minimal use of fabric, while still looking stylish.

Make do and mend was the motto, with many garments being made by upcycling other garments. Old mens suits were often re-cut, and re-tailored into womens skirt suits.

Would be great as an Back To The Past Expansion! Just like Into The Future, but traveling to the 40s instead of future.

I'd love to see more vintage fashion in the game! Retro clothing in general is pretty popular lately, especially as far as dresses go. And the high-waist, wide-legged pants of the 40's seem to have made something of a comeback. I also wouldn't mind 40's themed build/buy. I like sometimes having 'dated' elements in sims' homes. In fact, my own house irl still has cabinets from the 1940's in the basement.

How about stuff packs for late 1800s (there's a bit of a start with Get Famous EP), 1900-1910. 1910-1919 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, and 1960s-1990s.

No thanks. That wasn't a good time period for people like me.

If it means content with less focus on social media, 'tReNdY' jobs, and 'high fashion', then I think I'd be all for it. It's not something I'm very much desiring right now, but I wouldn't outright say no either.

Was the make do and mend applicable to the USA though?

Perhaps not as extreme as it was in other parts of the world

I just remember the glamorous Hollywood films of the 1940's

Hollywood isn't know for it's representation of reality.

We had ration books until 1954 in the UK

Australia had rationing from 1942 to 1950. Clothing was the first thing to be rationed.
