Amateur detectives!

Henford-on-Bagley made me think about this, because it would be such a good setting for a cozy mystery.

An active sim's life suddenly becoming the center of a mystery plot could be triggered by a buyable object, for example a "mysterious box" that can be locked or unlocked. If the sim unlocks it, they will start getting calls from townies asking for help in solving mysteries. The mysteries could be similar to those in the TS3 private investigator career, as well as the actions the detective can take: hold a stakeout, search a community lot for clues, search through a household's mailbox or garbage... This could be compatible with Get Together clubs: the detective sim could make a crime-solving club with their friends and they could perform all these actions together.
Only, unlike the TS3 private investigator, it would be a skill, not a profession. Higher skill levels would unlock more complex cases. The rewards would be increased friendship with the sim who asked the detective for help, and gifts from them.

If the player wants to stop townies from calling with new cases, the sim should lock the "mysterious box" again.

The build/buy and CAS objects could be vintage, possibly 1920's or 1930's style. Maybe desks or cabinets with secret compartments?

CAS should include a Poirot moustache!

@CandyCane That would be an awesome update! Though my nicknames names would all be jokes :D.

@Blink32 Great idea! I think seeing hybrids back would be fun! Especially in a pack :).

@PalmArrow That would be so fun :o! Desks and cabinets with secret compartments would also be super cool, but I especially love the "mysterious box idea" :)!

@TheMidnightSimmer A playable singer career and being a nightclub owner (where you can have promotions, book entertainment, etc) is such a cool idea B)!

A relationship pack to add more realism and family interactions. A few things I'd want to include:

* More realistic pregnancies. I mean which pregnant woman can't go in a hot tub? People give birth in pools for crying out loud. Also the choice to make a pregnancy last longer if we want (tied to the seasons for those who have the pack, otherwise short, normal and long) - or better yet let us set the days.
* A new life stage for babies (strollers, changing tables, interactions that aren't tied to a crib in general). - although this should really be a base game thing.
* Schools/day care that actually build skills, as well as homework that does (it can't be real that playing a computer game gives my kid more skills than doing his homework). - again do this in base game.
* more relationship based actions, traits and aspirations
* better weddings
* more realistic divorces (with custody hearings and split economy)
* more complicated relationships. Like unrequited love, crushes, sustainable bad emotions tied to divorce and cheating
* the ability to mourn relatives that aren't your parents/children/spouce (my sim didn't even notice when gramps died) - or even just close friends for that matter.
* More interactions when relaxing. I mean you can't even talk? Seriously?
* changeable bedding, table cloths and curtains - without going into build mode. (I mean who has one type of bedding? Or buys a new table to host a party?)


When I think about it, I really just want all of this added in a patch to the base game.

@JAL Great ideas! I think that it would be a great patch :).

decades build kit.

Oh my gosh, I love this idea... I love playing with occults but I couldn't think of an occult pack I wanted. I would LOVE this pack!!

@CaveSim That is an awesome idea for a kit :)!

I've been wanting this since TS2 !!! Can't believe they have not made that possible yet.

I think it would be cool to have throwback packs that have some of the things from previous Sims games. For example, a Sims2 throwback pack that has some Sims2 style stuff, cars, Smustle dance, etc.
