Small additions to gameplay, no skills, crafting or any complex gameplay mechanic: Lawn mowing kit: like Bust the Dust but for outdoor. Return of weed growing gameplay plus new lawn mowers available. Also compatible with Cottage Living to ask rabbit to eat the weed. A composting bin could be included, to have new fertilizers, choosing the desired ones and ammount of each, using leaves, mowed grass and other organic items in the Sim inventory. Pool cleaning kit: much like above idea, another chore gameplay kit, this time for swimming pool with a new cleaning gameplay using either a leaf net or a new underwater filter. Water could decrease it quality with the time (enhanced with weather or nearby trees if Seasons is installed). Sims can catch frogs in their pools if isn't clean. Also including water slides in three different versions. Woodchopping kit: off-the-grid appliances that requires wood or coal must need now wood. Using a new wood shed, axe and stump, Sims can now order raw logs to chop in small pieces ans "feed" the appliances. Axe throwing target included. Water heaters kit: for the first time in the series, water heaters could be available for the game. Water heaters could allow to Sims to check the water temperature for all the plumbing items and triggering new interactions, like flushing the toilet while another sim is taking a shower. New clutter utilities items including water, gas and electricity meter, propane/gas tanks and fuse box. Compatible with Eco Lifestyle (if solar panes are present in the lot) and Seasons.All the gameplay kits described above could have an option to deactivate the gameplay if someone wants a decorative lawn mower, water heater or wood shed. Also, if Laundry Day is installed, a new option to deactivate laundry gameplay could be included.

I adore the idea of all these kits, as they would add such realism to the game. However, instead of pool cleaning and such, I want more interactions. Although, the addition of a slide seems fun!! I really want to be able to teach kids how to swim, learn to do random tricks (like dive or cannonball), play marco polo, ect... Honest, could we just get it all??? :))

My suggestion is for a kit called "Bumper Crop Kit", which is related to gardening for the most part. 8 new crops (2 for each season, one of the Summer ones being sweet corn) a few styles of overalls galoshes / wellingtons / gumboots (whatever you call them in your region) a bigger sprinkler - bigger effect radius I mean gardening gloves You could probably pad out the amount of clothing by having some jeans and such with dirty knees from working in the garden.EDIT: I think I'd mentioned this in another thread late last year.

Wood chopping kit? It should be called the Chop chop kit. lol!

Water heaters/boilers could come in three models: tankless, tanked and large basement one and could trigger new interactions, moodlets and other stuff with the use of appliances and plumbing items that requires hot water at the same time, like sinks, washing machines, showers and others.

For example, if a sim flush the toilet while another one is taking a shower, there could be consecuences. Or Sims could have a bad shower if another Sim is using the washing machine or washing the dishes due the low pressure or not desired water temperature. To fix that, Sims must upgrade their heaters with better parts, to avoid overheated showers or no hot water at all, depending of how much appliances or plumbing items there could be in the lot.

Basement kit.

Create the ultimate oasis in your basement. Pool table, new ping pong table, new bubble blower. Finish it out with a new bar and some comfy seating.

Some could be BG updates like lawn mowing or pool slides, but the lack of gameplay kits can be filled slowly with some new kits based in chores or optional realism. Also, for console players, having a water heater or lawn mowers it's impossible due the lack of CC.
