England/british style sims

I am a lover of all things British. Some of my characters are supposed to be British, and I am a tea drinking American myself, so I like for my Sims to be able to take tea. High tea or tea parties would be great, too, with pastries and sandwiches and such, while the Sims converse with each other. Is there a tea set in Sims 4?

It would be nice to have things in build mode that people could use to create a British style world, and a British style neighborhood would be interesting.

Norwich, Norfolk's county town, would make a great sims neighbourhood.

This is also a lovely town which is vibrant with traditional Anglian lifestyle (one of the most English towns in England).

Something like this would be great.

The majority of houses in the UK are semi detached or terraced and this is something I really wish we could build in the Sims. It would really add some realism for us Brits. It 'is' possible to create these in-game but one thing necessary to make them playable is the ability to lock doors to keep the neighbours out. Now if we could just assign specific sims to specific doors ............ that would be the best thing ever.

This reminds me of the movie Help! where The Beatles come home and each enter their own townhouse door, and one of the neighbors comments on what nice lads they are, but it’s one big apartment inside.

I have always wanted to make townhouses or row houses for my Sims -- I thought it would have been great in Bridgeport -- and maybe semi detached houses, too.

I think a lot of simmers felt culturally left out when WA was released, and Monte Vista and when we got various sets in the store. Think of where the Last Amore was based on. Personally I thought it was good stuff and I have only just got all the Indian sets I wanted.

In the end, if EA make a themed pack, the executives will have to consider the possibility of alienation and how it will affect sales. Also, as someone has already said there would be a large number of simmers, including me, who would worry over the pack receiving the Disney treatment. There is the question of resources. Back slapping or the special relationship will have nothing to do with the decision. It will be purely economic :)

It should be Britain, not just England! Don't leave little Scotland and Wales out. Scotland especially have beautiful architecture and traditions. And don't forget the haggis!

I live in an east anglian market town, its a soul destroying middle class hellhole and I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemies let alone my sims.

I would love for Sims 4 to have a world inspired by North Wales - I've visited there a few times over the years and I love the scenery.

OK, ignorant American question! What is a semi-detached home? You keep saying that. Isn't something either detached or attached? Does anyone have a picture? I know about row houses, lots of American cities have them, but what is a semi-detached?

No pic - but it's a house that is attached to another house but only on one side.

I think a semi-detached house may be known as a duplex in the US? I'm not 100%, I'm remembering that from an American TV show I think!

OK then, I know duplex. And for some reason in Kentucky they call them Patio Homes. I have no idea why. Growing up in Connecticut, I always just called them two family homes, although the one I lived in when I was little was an upstairs downstairs two family home, not a side by side one.

Hello @Piperbird1 we would describe what you lived in as a Maisonette :) Here in the UK these tend to be smaller than Semis.
