Would anyone buy a Meryl Streep pack? What logical reason would there for this kind of pack?
Hi @Lady_Ballora thank you for your question!
So in America (that's where I live, but I want to make it clear that I know not all Sims players are from here, clearly, so that might be the source of your confusion) every citizen is a huge fan of Meryl Streep. For example, at this very moment I am jonesing for some Streep, but my only solution is to watch
Mamma Mia again (I only have
Death Becomes Her on VHS - that's what we had before DVDs, which is what we had before Blu-Ray, which is what we had before Netflix). This way I could spend some time with Mer-Bear in my favorite game.
Plus, a Meryl Streep pack would include a lot of great CAS items, such as overalls and bonnets (I am including some pictures for reference, because I know that they go by different names in other countries). I think it would also be great if we had a system where we could have our Sims speak in different accents - granted, I live close to Canada, but really my only interaction with different accents is when I set my GPS to speak in an Australian accent - I'm not as lucky as you to live as close to other dialects - and I think it would be really fun to let Sims from different parts of the world speak in different ways - and granted, this could be a fun way for us to not only have accents in the Sims, but also let our Sims learn how to speak in different accents, much like Meryl Streep has done throughout her career.
I also think that one of the areas where we can improve realism is in having Sims be able to sue one another, such as for custody of children and alimony, or also other reasons, and instead of taking a look at real-life we could take a look at Meryl Streep's oscar winning performance in
Kramer vs. Kramer to get some ideas for ways to implement this that might sensitively handle the subject, or, much like Meryl herself, we could create Sims who can never be put on trial because they have no peers. It would also be fun to be part of a jury, having to sacrifice our daily lives to listen to the stories of others in order to fairly decide their fates, much like we, as an audience, had to do when we watched
A Cry in the Dark (you'll know it better as
Evil Angels). Also, a lot of people have been asking for witches, and as Meryl Streep has portrayed a witch in
Into the Woods (yes, I know that Bernadette Peters originated the role), that would be a good way to introduce it, and it would also open up ideas of playing with morality and reversing the ages of our characters. It would also allow us to make foxes into playable characters, and I'm sure that nobody would say no to having worlds that are similar to Paris, Ireland, Africa, Australia, and Iowa.
Really, I think this would appeal to so many people that it would be a foolish idea not to do this. I mean, not only would every existing simmer want to play it, but it would inspire people who do not regularly play the sims but also people who do not play the sims but who have ever seen a movie (for example, people who vote for the Oscars; people who watch the Oscars; people who have never watched the Oscars but who still watch movies; people who have never watched the Oscars and who do not watch movies, but who were nevertheless forced to watch
The House of the Spirits against their will and who found themselves enjoying it because of Clara; people who are fans of Carrie Fisher and her relationship with her mother Debbie Reynolds; and just the public in general who has ever seen a movie). Plus, think about how great it would be to add another channel to the television (a Meryl Streep channel) as well as a new radio station (songs Meryl Streep has sung in movies).
As you can see, it would be a great idea and lots of people, both diehard simmers and people who don't play video games but who love Meryl Streep because they are alive in this world, would purchase it.
Thanks!
