1. You had a point with the stables and body boards so I made corrections2. "Hang loose" was a greeting gesture from Bon Voyage learned from the native of the tropical island 3. The rest was snark so I quite rightly, ignored it

Awesome ideas! That's one detailed and comprehensive list - hopefully they see it and are inspired by it. :smile: @EnkiSchmidt Couldn't agree with you more about the bathing. Those options would be really nice.

Okay! :)This list pretty much encompasses everything that I've ever asked for and more. This would be the ultimate summer vacation pack. EA, please make it so. If even half of these features were included, it would be the best expansion pack released to date. <3 ETA: Could you please add a swim-up pool bar to the list? :) Whups. Never mind, I see that you've already got it covered. ::thumbs up::E-ETA: I wonder if EA would ever consider a new kind of pack -- a double expansion. I would be willing to pay for an extended expansion pack that has the budget to offer exhaustive features such as the OP's comprehensive list. I really dislike the way that it takes so long for EA to add features to certain themes. A huge, lollapalooza type pack that really fills out a theme, all at once, would be incredible.

I really wanted the beaches to be frozen in the winter and eventually penguins would appear.

I would love to see a surfing activity/skill item for Sims 4. Sims 3 store has one for Sims 3. Surfboard wall decorations and statue decorations would also be gnarly.

Sandcastle building and clam digging on the beach would be a must for me! Looking for coins with a metal detector would also be a fun beach activity. I also wish beach volleyball would make a return from Sims (1) Vacation.
