Museum ideas

Question

Museums could do so much more interesting stuff. I'd like to see sims develop interest and knowledge of history, like a skill, from museum interactions. This could open up options like conversations about it, and also writing and art subjects. Maybe they can write history books, historical fiction, or paint historical painting styles and need to research. Also, sims with high history skills might randomly discover an item they own/buy (art and paintings most likely) is a valuable antique by viewing it. The flea market could link in with this too for a lucky find. Some new NPCs would be great, like tour guides and local historians who randomly generate on museum lots - just make it more dynamic and random so that I don't know what will happen when my sims visit the museum. At the moment, I just know there will be stuff to look at and then my sims go home and it doesn't really affect the wider game. I'd like to see things that transfer out of the visit.

I've always thought that the Museums and art galleries should have had an NPC Curator some who could accept donations of art and Simoleons and give tours. I also think exhibitions and events should happen at both galleries and museums.

Yes, museums are so under-utilized in the game! Being able to build a skill by going on a museum tour would be great.

My Sims have their own museum The Black and White.  It's all their paintings and sculptures they've created, lots of other cool things that are in the build mode, they have a space garden and regular garden, and in the basement is all the game collectibles they've gathered as well as all the artifacts from the jungles.  My building is always crowded probably because I give NPCs things to do there like paint and whatever.  There's even a huge garden in the back overwatched by Patchy.  I also made it dog and cat friendly so there's always an assortment of furry friends visiting.  The prebuilt museums were boring to my boys (and to me as well) but having my own is awesome.

But I would love something like that in TS4.

We could have exhibition tables and walls we can place, then art and artifacts could randomly spawn throughout the lot on them during events like this. The events and NPCs in san myshuno have been great - it's one of my favourite features because it brings the world to life in a way we've not had before. Would be fun to introduce more of these things to the world, and being able to place event spawning items in lots we build ourselves would give even more possibilities. I might actually make a post just about event spawning items.And yes, just about anything relating to museums could apply to art galleries.
