European Expansion Pack
On the last expansion packs EA was inspired by real countries/regions. Thats I got the idea how to represent Europe. Currently our beautiful continent has a low and stereotipical representation in The Sims 4. I know that EA can not give us 30+ expansions to show every country. Due to that I tried to reduce the number of expansions. My idea is simplyfied. Please do not be mad that some countries are together or wrongly represent, because I am not omniscent. I just want to give some representation for countries which will never have their own expansion.
Ok. Lets start. Europe is small but our countries have a lot of languages, different cultures, climate ect. Due to that it is hard to close our variery in a several expansions, but I will try do my best to do that.
How Europe looks like:

What about objects. It should be another topic. In Europe we have a tons of objects which are not common in US for example. Kitchen is the best example I guess.
Typical European modern kitchens looks like below:

I can not find items in my game to built something like that. I hope that one day Europe will have a better representation in TS4. I really doubt that we will have enough packs to represent every country, but I hope that some of my ideas (or something similar) will appear in our game.
