No kits, no packs: free legacy items for BG updates

(No cars or spiral staircases)

Pool table: along with the billiard skill like bowling and at least 3 new pool tables should be included: classic, modern and vintage.

Water slide: with Backyard SP or even Season without this item, a free update should be enough. In this case, two water slides, like bunk beds that can match with another swimming pool items like the diving boards: normal and brick/rocky.

Telescope: normal sized and not a obervatory like one. Like pool tables, at least 3 to 4 new telescopes should be added: classic, modern and vintage. Also, I would like to have microscopes using the current assets like bunk beds, there's two in the chemistry tables in BG and SE (actually I've maded two decorative MM microscopes),

Compost bin: despite the first composting bin was added with TS2 Seasons (not TS2 BG) and Sims can fertilize directly using organic scraps, the inventory control can be enhanced with a dedicated item to produce, store and even sell fertilizer instead carring dog poop until it's needed or burning the raked leaves. I think two models can be enough: a wood maded one (to match the beehive) and a plastic one, like TS2 Seasons. The drum like one from TS3 Store can be added, but as a EP new item with new gameplay and animations.

Arcade machine: again, not an oversized model like the telescope, but a arcade machine that up to 2 Sims can play. In TS3 there's 9 arcade machines, each with a different game. I think one can be enough when Sims can choose the game instead having one different for each game.
  • I would really like most of them, not too fussed about the compost bin since I never used that in the previous games, but if a farming pack came out I might use it.

    I'm also realistic though and don't imagine we'd ever get those, especially in a "free" update, those all would require unique animations, which is one of the most expensive costs for new gameplay objects.

    But, I would love to be proven wrong by EA.
  • out of these options i choose telescope

    i just really miss being able to put them on my small balconies to spy on people, and extraterrestials

    Well, ladders also required new animations, bunk beds, toddlers update a lot more...

    And about farming, yes! how to manage all the manure from horses, cows, chickens and other livestock? I think storing all the poop/manure in the Sim inventory is ridiculous.
  • Arcade machines for me please! Still can't believe these werent made into a pack. *hisses at Laundry Day*

    I did find some arcade machine cc a little while ago since I was in a big mood to create an arcade, it'd just be great to have some in the game. <3

    Considering that for their big anniversary they gave us a lame hot tub, an item that was at best just a bit of a cosmetic job since they had already created hot tubs in a previous pack. I'm thinking you are being a overwhelmingly hopeful about "Free Stuff".
  • I'm picking pool table because it's hard and expensive. Seven years and a billion+ and they should have the money now.
