Murder Mystery Pack

This is a pack I have wanted forever, but kept quiet because it’s not entirely plausible and may involve styles and themes similar to other packs. But I’m seeing movie trailers lately that revisit themes of classic murder mysteries. If you’re curious, look at Knives Out and Ready or Not. Not to mention some recent(ish) remakes of classic Agatha Christie novels like Murder on the Orient Express And Crooked House (these films and trailers may not be suitable for all audiences). I would say that there is a renewed fandom of classic, spooky, treacherous fiction—and an overt love among us for the true crime genre. So why not add this into the Sims 4?

I struggled to come up with a distinct concept for this Murder Mystery pack, mostly because it potentially could be too similar to other packs. The furnishings might look like Vintage Glamour, or Vampires, plus Realm of Magic might come with some antiques too. Solving a mystery in this pack might look like Get to Work’s detective career, or the Strangerville mystery. Plus this pack would involve a dark, tragic, and potentially horrible felony against another innocent sim. But I don’t want to abandon this Murder Mystery pack idea.

So here is one possible approach: Murder Mystery Party Stuff

Live Mode: new social event type: Murder Mystery Party, to which we can wear new costumes.

CAS: trench coats (plural), tweed Miss Marple skirts, a curly Poirot mustache, a women’s hairstyle that covers one eye, Sherlock Holmes hat, vintage glasses, simpler monocle, formal military uniform, etc

Build/Buy: antique fainting couch, billiards table (because Clue), a new secret passage door, a big antique victrola/gramaphone, a regular upright piano, tripod telescope, weapon props, etc


Still, despite being gritty and tragic, simurder would be kind of awesome as part of a murderous game pack. The pack could add funerals, will readings/inheritance disputes, a coroner career and/or estate law career! Anyway...

Please discuss, if you have any further ideas I’d love to hear.

I am a big fan of mysteries and true crime. I would love to see a pack like this rather than some of those (I mean no offence) stupid and useless packs for Sims 4. If done right I think it would truly be an amazing pack. New traits like observant where ordinary sims assume that the other sim is psychic when they simply were extremely observant. Forensic Pathologist would make another good career added in. Have aspirations like "Scooby-Doo Mystery", "Nancy Drew" Mysteries to be solved etc. Have a solve a Cold Case as an aspiration. It wouldn't push the T rating. However, I do like the idea of my sim solving an actual murder mystery. Being able to get samples of DNA to test. Ballistics. Criminology as a new skill. Criminal Justice as a new course to learn at the university. Psychology as a skill to learn. Profiler as a new career too. Have something like Interpol and Scotland Yard and FBI to work with or work for. Private Investigator as a new Career I would love to see too. I love Agatha Cristie mysteries. I love Edgar Alan Poe The Father of Detective Story. He invented the mystery genre. Auguste Dupin as a sim would be awesome.
