List of Sims 4 Pack Ideas

I've culled a list of some of the more developed EP idea threads in the hopes that instead of just sinking to the bottom of the Ideas Corner they will be considered for inclusion among already planned packs or perhaps a change of plans or even for Sims 5.

~~Spa/Health and Wellness: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/840090/spa-health-and-wellness-expansion/p1~~ survey earlier that The Sims team clearly has a bunch of ideas of what they would like to create for us, but I think it's important that they also understand what it is that Simmers would like to see. If any of the ideas above sound good, please show your support for them by posting, liking, or contributing your own additions. I'm sure your fellow Simmers would appreciate it.

Another pack idea is something I think would be kinda cheeky and something never really exploited in games before - a suburban pack. This would have to be a game/expansion pack as the world is crucial. A stereotypical suburban world (think Rancho Camelot from Dreamwork's "Over the Hedge"). Having cookie cutter like houses and typical items (bring back favorite lawn ornaments like a flamingo). Co-concepts that could ship with this game include a teacher career (it doesn't need to be playable) or maybe even a revival of the playable daycare option from Sims 3 Generations. Other co-concepts include sports (for all ages) (think the stereotypical "soccer-mom"). Cars could be another nice concept to introduce in a pack like this. This pack should be very family oriented and cater to all life-stages and therefore cars/garages (a suburban staple) are essential to establishing the right look of the houses (think mini-vans/SUVs for families).

A lot of people have come up with really great ideas in these discussions so I thought I'd share them on here :)

OH! the sport for all age would be so nice :O maybe more in a family oriented pack tought as I personnaly feel the game is already centered around suburban area. this would not prevent the possibility to add really kitch kind of items like the flamingo, or the limonade stand :P

As someone who played soccer for a long time, I admit I would love to see my sims get into parascolar sport activities. there could even be a carreer to be a coach :P

Good ideas we really need car's and bikes back, I woundn't care at this point if they are like sims 2 , it is crazy that our sims are the only sims that don't have cars. while we see others driving by. no matter what our sims are poor , middle class or very rich. it is nuts.

here is a fabulous expansion pack ideas;

University/College Life

Live in dorms, explore new careers, study groups
labs, placement test, exams, school lunches,

Degree fields; ideas
science- biology, astrobiology (aliens life), neuroscience, robotics
art- sculpting, metalworking, pottery, sewing, graffiti
fine arts- choir class, drama (acting), modeling, new instruments; harp, flute, saxophone, drums
Business- accounting, business owning, advertising/marketing,
culinary-chefs, restaurant owners, fast food
Education- teachers, principles, psychology

New jobs/careers;

Biologist, astrobiologist (Sixam), neuroscience (brain surgeon)
new objects; pottery wheel, soldering table, sculpting blocks, sewing machine
harp, drums, saxophone, flute, laptops, mp3 players,
caged pets for science experiments, school projects for college students

new lots; dorms, scrapyards, food trucks(greasy food), fast food restaurants,
new traits; nerd, eclectic, stubborn. introvert, class clown, troublemaker, health-nut,
new fashion trends; LED clothing, sci-fi inspired, emo, gothic, geometric

Other packs I'd like to see are a futuristic pack with robots, space flight, synthetic food, 3d printers, robotic machines/artificial intelligence, solar power, driver-less transportation, and of course Season would be amazing if it could be more realistic to its environment (neighborhood) disasters could be random ( tornadoes, floods,severe storms etc)

I also wouldn't mind getting spiral/split-level...right now you can't do anything with those damn stairs. this isn't a complicated thing...Sims 2 and 3 had these...you can even patch them in.
Alright have fun developing....

I love the sims 4 but i dont love the babies that was one of my favourite parts of the game in sims 3 and now you cant even see if you baby is upset or s hungry or need attention it just like having a pet you cant select it to see whats wrong you have to just keep trying stuff till it works and there stuck constantly in the bassinet and its lame

wouldn't it be amazing if the sims team made an expansion or game pack for babies with different activities to do with your little one
like scans for your pregnant sim, check ups at your doctor or call out from the midwife to check on the babies if that was easier to make happen, prams so you could take your babies with you, the option to take them out of their bassinets and put them were ever like you could in sims 3, some new items like clothes for your baby and furniture like cribs and prams change tables baby rockers also a new interactive career like daycare with babies involved too

I’d be down for this sounds really great i like that you didn’t only suggest baby things but pregnancy overall i think it shou be a game pack and i would love the following things
Baby showers
Ultrasounds
Doctor check ups like you suggested would add more realism
Pregnancie photoshoot
Cast of the moms belly wich you can make bu buying a kit in build buy
More baby clothing
More bassinets and baby beds like the ones from ts2
Changing table also usable for toddlers
Baby swing also usable for toddlers
Baby play mat
Strollers also usable for toddlers
With a high enough cooking skill you can make better bottled milk wich makes their hunger decay slower
You can invite sims to see the baby once born for like a baby visit
Option to place baby for adoption
Baby’s can learn to crawl
Thwy look different from eachother maybe even being able to create them in cas? Might be to much tho
These are my ideas i really hope for something like this

> For a while now I have been wondering why EA has not created a format for the Sims franchise that allows you to edit your sim family history in Create-a-Sim. I'm referring to the ability to create a family and then to edit in deceased parents and grandparents (ect), as well as how they died. This would help players create more intricate families with history, rather than having to play pre-made households or create their own family history through play.

Yes Like TS3. I want to make the full Goth family tree to make it more realistic. and if i could edit my own family for your actual relatives
