Get Cruising EP (just a fun idea...)
As i made some random jokes about the next pack being a cruise ship pack i thought a bit about it. Please bear with me. XD
New "World": The ISS Unsinkable 2 - a Vacation Cruise Liner with 4 "Lots"
Lot 1: The Passenger Deck - 4 (rental) Appartments. 1 Small, 2 Medium, 1 Large + the deck lobby with seating, and the elevator
Lot 2: The Lido Deck - contains the Pool area, recliners, shuffleboard spots, souvenir kiosk, a skeet shooting activity and an area for an animation program (everybody learn the Smustle!). Also access to a lifeboat... (woohoo.)
Lot 3: The Gala Deck - also 4 separate locations (works like appartments) contains a show stage, a bar with a spot to (slow)dance, a restaurant (buffet), and a daycare (playing a game of Sploosh! (Battleships) and making funny paper mache masks....)
Lot 4: Visiting the colorful beach town of "Port Hasana" (working title, something with a touch of Cuba or so) - beach, fishing spot, local cuisine stall Cliff where you can go cliff diving and an outdoor pottery npc where you can learn pottery and buy a potters wheel. Or visit the local Mambo to get your fortune told.
So far, so good - or funny.

- New Skill(s) would be pottery, plus a secret skeet shooting skill
- It would add the slowdance and the Smustle from prior Sims games
- Shuffleboard would be for anyone from kid to elder
- Sims (especially kids) would get a new board game and a creative activity (similar to pottery skill)
- Get Cruising would add buffet tables with 3 different buffets depending on daytime. And if it gets to boring...Foodfight!
- Adding a show-stage pedestal with different kind of show npcs (clown, magician, theatre or maybe a tapdancing goat?)
- En Suite mini fridge food would be horrendous expensive. (That's why no Sim would dare to use it automonously.)
- Sims could join the animator on the Lido deck for gymnastics (thats why i didn't add a gym location), a "learn to Smustle" lesson and a battle royale "quiz" game. All of them obviously build fun and skill (fitness, dance, logic) without technology and are not exhausting even for elders.
- Mobile Phones don't work on board the ship, except the cameras, and maybe internet, but bad.
- New Moodlets would be obviously things like "Sea sick", "Is that an iceberg?", "like a rocking chair" ...
- As careers i thought the Animator career would be nice as an active, as sims could do shows on public lots, or be hired for partys. Also Mechanic as rabbit hole career.
- All "Lots/Appartments" would be editable in BB Mode like any Vacation World.
- New Trait "Hydrophobe". Poor Sim, why did they convince you that would be fun? (Tense when Swimming/riding Boats, even fearing they could drown in the Bathtub (Uncomfortable), and Rain is just to wet! (sad))
- New Trait "Globetrotter" Travelling is awesome. Everything on a voyage is just more fun than sitting at home in front of the TV or computer.
- New Lot Traits "Honeymoon Suite" well... (also, heart shaped Bed and Hot Tub...) and "Cheap" a place to sleep and shower, but not to call home.
- Edit: New Death: Death by cliff diving.
So far, so good - or funny.
