Fitness improvements and suggestions

Every once in a while I post a poll with new ideas for packs like this. I usually include some sort of sports pack. I'd like to see anything from a team sport like volley ball (Sims 1) to the acrobat career in TS3. Even different forms of dance would be welcome.

I would like free weight animations, boxing interactions and/or a career for boxing and martial arts where you can challenge npcs and develop a record. It would also be nice if you can win a belt for each world and have to retain it via constant challenges or surrender it and retire.

It would also be cool to be a personal trainer where you have a non rabbit hole task of helping people eat right or work out and meet their weight loss or gain goals. Going door to door or meeting them where they are would be cool, whether it's cooking for them or training them.

More multi-sim activities. In addition to the above: TS2 has a soccer goal net, kicky-ball, free roaming pillow fights, and other running around activities. All should be present and contribute at least a little bit. What about hockey for those who have Seasons? Does the skiing in Snowy Escape count? The clilmbing should as well and the hiking trails if they don't already.

I'd play hockey if it was in there I guess. I was just sad to see they added a sparring feature for Strangerville but limited it to the sparring target and military career. They should expand on it and add boxing and martial arts or even a sim version of mma ( although I'm a traditional MA guy), I'd take it versus nothing.

They should also brush up on the fitness aspiration and make bodybuilders look like bodybuilders with 3 different variety looks (natural, lean, bulky) to choose to work towards.

I love all of these ideas. But I would be over-the-moon happy if they would just add in walking as an exercise. To include walking with others (maybe by the grouping action) or as a club activity. I would love to see this added for child thru elder and include pets with multiple people (not just one pet, one sim but I understand why they may not want to go back and alter that). This would be a great family activity as well as a non-strenuous exercise for our elders. And not necessarily a "speed walk", just a stroll through the neighborhood, like with hiking in Snowy Escape.

Yea walking i.e. taking a Sunday stroll would be nice. It would be nice to gain a lifestyle or sentiment for doing so as well.

I'd like a boxing ring to put in a gym. Have trainers, spar partners, and a skill line. The animations are already in the game for the punching bag so, it doesn't seem like it would require a ton of effort to make happen.

VR sports and real completions for Sims to compete in.

You're talking my language Arzekial. I would flip if they (the devs) realized this and added a few more gameplay functionalities.

Imagine training a scrawny sim to be the interworldly champ, fighting sims from all packs with their own unique features as opponents. Also, it would be good to not win so easily gameplay wise and maybe it would require us to master skills, lore or even seek out hidden trainers to beat certain opponents.

Sigh....that would be great gameplay.

It really would be! The boxing ring would also be a great place to "settle disputes" with sim's rivals or enemies... looking at you Agnes!
